No, no individuality anymore at all. It's Dark Age of Clonealot because everyone uses the same artifacts that have become de-facto for each class. What's more, whereas pre TOA each realm had their own unique look to weapons and armour, with TOA these artifacts are available to all three realms and the skins are largely exactly the same, so further eroding any individuality. If you see a three way fight post TOA it's just a herd of people from all realms weilding the same Malice, Battler, Traldors etc.pikeh wrote:well, at least people have the OPTION now to choose different weapons and armour. Before it was all crafted, maybe BMF or galla armour in a few templates, but with some all day galla raids i fail to see how casual players could get some of those items. The jewelry was all epic stuff or Si quested. So yeh, there is the option to be a lot more individual nowadays.
As for Galladoria items in the past, these were indeed beyond most casual players. But they weren't so overpowered that anyone with a decent SC suit couldn't compete against them.
