Return of Reckoning

I personally enjoyed the alternate appearance work around thingy but understand it isn't how WAR live worked. And this next statement is in no way meant to be offensive towards the devs but was there a reason why the work-around had to be disabled other than because it was not working as it was intended?

It is actually how live worked if I remember correctly. I used to enjoy changing my characters' appearance a lot back then.
On live by the way players from the opposite faction would see your gear with the original skin to help them know how geared you are.

what does this mean?

There was a way that you could make your appearance for armor and weapons nearly anything so long as it was related to your class (some could use stuff outside of their class). To my knowledge it did nothing other than make it so your item took the appearance of something that it should not have been able to otherwise. For example, I could run around on my Chosen with my 1h and shield but have my one handed weapons appearance set to look like a 2h weapon.

So I would run around looking like I had a 2 handed weapon and shield attacking people but in reality the weapon that I was using was a 1 handed weapon.

So that has been disabled.

You can't use alternate appearance for weapons.

Any chance of also fixing the destruction one? As I recall it's "Bred, Fed and Led" and starts from NPC Thordis Valdar in Chaos ch11. It seems to have the same bug as two are available at once, but the NPC you are supposed to kill after getting the List of Collaborators doesn't turn red, he stays friendly.. and I couldn't find the Secret Document in the tower.

Cheers!

I think you are talking about the appearance situation in general. There were some items in live that you could get for certain classes that would drastically change appearance like the BLORC shield appearance being able to be changed to another 1 hander so it looked like they were dual wielding. This work around would make it so anyone could virtually use anything so long as it did not have a restriction for their class. Such as a Marauder being able to run around with a 2h weapon as its appearance.

The main issue is that weapons and armors that are not suppose to be able to be used for appearances can be through a work around. Most items say can be used as an alternate appearance but there are a lot that do not say they can. However, through this loop hole you can still use them as your appearance.

Then why not give all +green items alt appearance.

You could on live and you can in RoR. People have been doing it since they got alternate appearance working.

Notes are wrong. Appearance workaround still works - there are just additional checks on it.
