I'm not a fan of this armor but I love the character effect. Like the Kitava chest it's too bulky/top-heavy/fat and throws all the characters off balance with a huge chest on top of skinny legs. Some of the 2D concept art appears to show a more balanced and slender chest with more bulk in the arms, but somewhere along the way it fattened up in the 3D phase and didn't result or match the original concept. Also the stuff that Jaan sketched together was way cooler in concept which the 'iteration' phase appears to have butchered. There is no focal swirly thing in anything he did in the chest piece and the chest is actually broken up in to two halves with an upper and lower section - probably so that it can flex like a real suit of armor. Each half looks like a collection or ram horns or some shit fastened together which was really cool, but the 3D version makes it look like all one piece with a giant swirly thing in the middle. Anatomically speaking, you can't bend in the final version, but you could in the concept version.

I think the 3d guys or the final decision makers need to stay true to what Jaan did or does, or Jaan needs to put the breaks on the results and say this is nothing like what I originally designed please try again.

This post shows how your process has failed with this particular suit of armor. I'm glad you actually showed the various stages so one can clearly see the radical differences between the start and the finish. It makes me think about what could have been with some of the others stuff that's been released over the years. Change your process so that the concept dictates the results and becomes the most crucial part or your workflow. Tell the concept artist exactly what you want so he delivers exactly what you need before you move forward with implementation.

I understand that this game is completely free to play and you guys need MTX to survive.

But, I would be much appreciated that you guys use these 4 months to create new content instead of those MTX.

For me, it is like a waste of time.
