Ascension Armor

A suggestion I'd thought I'd bring up for a friend, but not one I can see anything wrong with. I'm both for it and against it at the same time however.

Ascension Armor. It's unlockable at level 50. We both can support this. Must get to 50 and unlock it.

However, once unlocked, let us use it on anyone.

This is the part I'm for and against, I like the idea of having some level specific costume parts, but at the same time, I have some concepts that could use it at level one. Like I have anew concept I'd love to use the boots/gloves on from start to finish on her hero outfit.

Then it dawned on me. Perhaps keep the Ascension Radiance Armor for level 50's only, but the regular Ascension Armor as unlockable and useable for everyone.

Still would have to get to 50, would still have to run the content to unlock it, but after that, could make use of it on other concepts, that perhaps are thought of right away using the pieces, allowing for the aura to be added later.

We got an answer to this already: never.

To paraphrase the post in question: the armour was designed with 50s and Incarnates in mind and it would be insulting to the artists who put so much work into making them for them to be available anyway else.

Which is why I'm not even bothering to unlock either set. Great suggestion but shot down already.

He specifically made something that could be used in pieces to augment your character’s existing costume to give it the “I’m an Incarnate” flair.

Going back and changing any of the restrictions on the armor now would be doing a disservice to the art team and how they worked their butts off to make a cosmetic reward for the Incarnate System that had a look and feel made specifically for it.

I agree with brandx would like to use it on others at lower levels. I understand that it is a look look i have 50 or up stuff you can't have till you are were i am. This is why i never made the other classes that unlocked at 50 till ae came out and i got a few toons i quit playing up to 50 to open them and made a few and these toons are still sitting there i play with them off and on. The thing that i like about this game is its not like all the other mmo's i do not have to have the uber armor to kill this or that and unlike most who hate the action houses i love i can make millions of "money " on them and buy what i want and make it if i want.


Some of my suggestions from posts i have done

Would be nice. I figured both sets unlocked by 50s, but only the regular usable by any level would work. But I wasn't part of the testing (Ill wait for Time Manip to help test ) and seems to be their goal.

Im okay with it. I'll just say they were parts of my now lvl 9's outfit the whole time when I hit lvl 50

I still can't help but think the logic is a little backwards. It's kind of hard to appreciate something that you'll see once in a blue moon.

This is true. I see them in use a lot.

I just know I have some concepts that would be great to have them in use the whole time.

As of now, I'll just make use of the valkyrie boots and witch gloves.
