Update regarding new armor designs

Your discussions and suggestions about our new armor designs are invaluable to us. We’ve carefully considered your feedback on the color schemes and the desire for them to stay true to the original designs. We’re now focusing on adjusting specific colors, adding PBR textures, and giving the different Tier levels more distinguishable characteristics.

While we’re eager to adapt where feasible, we hold steadfast to our game’s vision. Some design elements will remain as envisioned, not disregarding your feedback but ensuring Entropia Universe stays true to modern industry quality standards.

Unless unforeseen circumstances or additional development needs occur, our current plan is to implement these improvements before the end of Q2, and we will describe all the armor visual enhancements in the relevant release notes.

We’re committed to transparency and value your continued input. Thank you for playing Entropia Universe!

Thanks for this feedback, it is much appreciated.
My 2 pecs is that the design of the helmets is what I like least - it’s too blocky and looks like what amounts to ear muffs.
The old design was more like space helmet and I think that is more appropriate.

remove the ear muffs please

My main issue is also with the helmet design. Needs some TLC.

If colors would be closer to the original and a little less bulkier, especially the F version, would bit a big win and the new models would looks much better.

And you thought what you provided was Modern Industry Standard?

Uhoh :confused:

Amazing. Thanks for listening and the communication recently! Has been a big step change and much appreciated!!

Good move, I not really impacted by the changes, but i understand some were quite upset by changes thus far.
Thankyou for the update :slight_smile:

hmmmm that feels kinda weird,

players in EU have no clue what modern industry quality standard is, i suppose…

I can distinguish the Tier 3 from the LEDs in the eyes.
But what is visual difference between Tier 2 and 1 ?
Maybe to post pictures of one single set in the 3 Tiers ?

It’s not always consistent. Regular Jaguar (tier 1) has LED eyes while tier 2 Adjusted has the visor. Maybe an oversight?

Edit: looking back on it and I think what I saw was classic PoTE which just shows how hard it is to distinguish them lol

Also can we expect to get new upgrades, I’m craving Jag improved, and I think having Caly armor missions to work towards would be great.

I would be thrilled if my Mod Shadow was modernized to looked like this example rather than an angry robot:

So, you’re saying you’ll consider our suggestions as long as they align perfectly with your already set-in-stone vision? :cool:

I think MA should do whatever they want, as they know best. Like the ability to convert L1 tamed pets into tokens (which MA considered ages ago). Nudge nudge, wink wink ?

No one wanted tesla ‘cyber truck’ style amour helmets then. It’s all the rage apparently. ??

so well said

@Ludvig|MindArk will the Planet partners have to update their armor designs? Or will they be permitted to keep their current look and feel if they choose to?

Thank you

Nice going, keen to see these! But I’d love to see many more armor sets get the same treatment. Particularly Lotus and mod viceroy, perhaps mod viceroy could be visually different from the other ‘tiers’ like the newer armors..or is this planet partner responsibility? Are they confirmed to be working on this?
