Identifying Guilds...

@grindhouse
showing your armor is a way to show what attributes you have. hiding that armor makes it difficult for others to see what you do.
-
But if you made the extra whatever show the armor, then there shouldn't be a problem, I'd imagine (again, I'm expecting we're going to get 6 to 10 generic armors for visual purposes, dye-able, and then skins which differentiate based on which of those 6-10 they are applied to. So, you use Guild skin on your Light Armor, it becomes Guild Light Armor, and instantly recognizable as such). For a tabard, it might change the armor to be sleeveless on light, obviously armored to the elbow on medium, and fully obviously armored on heavy. Slap it on a gi, and you get ragged cloth sleeves to the bicep. Slap it on your robe, and you get full sleeves. Wear nothing but the tabard, and you still, clearly, have no pants XD

@therippyone
i doubt it'll be that customizable though.
-
@jetah That, I can't answer - we'll just have to wait and see, I guess.
-
@therippyone
they're literally a small indie company. i seriously doubt they'll have that detail of armor selections.
-
Guild cloaks U can design would be nice
-
@jetah sure - you and I agree the armor selection (visually) is going to be small. On the other hand, I've seen a fair number of light weight solutions for applying patches to the limited selection in various ways - including "symbols" that have a bump map associated, letting you put all sorts of zany things onto armor for relatively low costs, processor-side. Further, we've seen some drawn ideas for skins for armor that have been pretty significant, even if they are only illustrations of intent at this point.
I'm not saying I'm right, just that, given the demonstrated materials, a guild tabard is possible.
-
My guild will be identified by lots of corpses left on ground everywhere.
-
@gothix and now I'm thinking of some demented "weather" report that broadcasts the location of "Gothix Storms," including "storm" chasers that observe your group as they roam the land, so that others can stay away from your force of nature...
-
@therippyone
i missed the whole "For a tabard.." part at the beginning of your statement. I somehow thought you meant those designs as armor options.
-
Guild horse armor skins might work also....
