PvP sets to have distinct look in WotLK
Arena, Gear, WotLK June 6th, 2008Off-topic Update: You can now choose the old ‘classic’ theme of the blog right in the footer, this will require you to have cookies enabled in the browser.
In Blizzcast Episode 3 Jeff Kaplan is discussing dungeons and raids in WotLK, what got my attention however is this quote:
Bornakk: Will gear sets differ in look or bonuses between the two dungeon versions?
Jeff Kaplan: The art will probably look a little bit different between the two dungeon sets, meaning the 10 and the 25 person version. It might be things like a different color version of the same armor or the higher level, the 25 person content, might have more particle effects, so something along those lines. Something that I am excited to talk about is that the PvP armor will be different from the PvE armor entirely in looks and colors this time.
Good news, assuming the PvP sets are not going to be Sunwell “quality” and they actually make distinct sets for each class, not type of armor. I so hated horde warriors back in the day since they had their own set of armor (and it was awesome one), while I had to wear paladin “golden boy” stuff on my human warrior. That was one of the reasons why I rerolled Orc before TBC - those shoulders were just awesome, and we all know that in the end it’s all about the looks :P.

Huzzah! I was getting really bored of seeing everyone in recolored tiers, PvE or PvP.
More gear variety for the win.

FINALLY
I actually think this is going to make alot of people extremely happy. Character distinction/uniqueness is a big part of mmos imo, having everyone and his brother look the same (especially ones where the reskin wasn’t noticeable, warlock s2/t5 and paladin s3/tier6/non-set t6 items anyone).
