Chosen guide to Marauder Looks (and Vice Versa)

[topaz85]

Hi There ever wanted YOUR Chosen to look like this?
JUST DO REGULAR QUESTS in PvE zones.
(someone give me NZT-48 ... all the info is buried somewhere in my mind)





Fear not if item rewards from Quests are still the same as they were on Live Servers you too can look like this.
For lols, for fun or just simply to have some more options to tweak your Chosen looks. It's Pimpin time.
Screenshots are taken from my own Chosen character back when game was still Online.

Helm : Bloodsport Skullcase
Shoulders : Vanquisher Shoulderguards
Chest : Brugg's Carapace
Gloves : Slagrot's Gauntlets
Belt : Deathgirdle of the Blind Tower
Boots : Darkboots of Morning Eclipse

Now ATM I have no clue where to go, what quest to do to get those. Long time ago I've posted whole guide both on official WAR forums and Warhammer Alliance... but as we know both of those sites are long gone now. So any GM/Dev willing to look into data-base for some item minning... much appreciated

But be on your toes when you do quests in each pairing and tier look for items from this list and you'll get the looks.
And since Marauder and Chosen seem to use similar rig/anim set in many ways this is not a bug... but a feature of sorts... if U ask me

SO pls devs don't fix those items. It's a nice flavour that adds to the game. When I've been playing on live servers I used to sport marauder helmet on my chosen... just bcs I totally love the way it looks.

This post is about Getting the looks of a Chosen.... ON MARAUDER

Here's a preview back when Live servers were still on, on my very own marauder.






Current list of items that I have

Helm : Bloodsport Direhelm
Shoulders : Vanquisher Hardmantle
Chest : +MISSING+
Gloves : +MISSING+
Belt : Midstrap of the Blind Tower
Boots : +MISSING+

I'm still diggin through my HDD to get the missing stuff but If any1 is willing to contribute and help, thanks in advance.
If any dev want to dig around the DB much appreciated.

no the devs arnt letting bugged item models stay

especially not 2h axes and SnB stuff

because their are people who play this game with Shift + Z and have their huds disabled so they cant tell what class is attacking them

also bugged armor with appeances of other classes too, dok lvl 9-11 helms looked like WE sov set helm, got "fixed"

which sucks cuase i hate the look of the gorgets

also their is already some chosen armor "in the game":

Funny thing those arent bugged at all. You are the only one who can see it AFAIK e.g. customization you do to your character (putting different appearance on your item that you are wearing - NOT WEARING THE ACTUAL ITEM) can only be seen by you and your faction. Enemy faction sees your stuff without the appearance change. As a failsafe for that kind of thing you've mentioned. So if you put some weird visual look on your item (just like the ones I've presented) you are only putting on APPEARANCE. Which works without glitching of any shape or form. Ergo it shouldnt be a bug. I've been using it for months (years even) no problems at all. No clunky animations, no character stuck in one animation, nothing.

Or I'm missing smthg?
Any Dev care to add smthg to the discussion?


Either way what you are saying is that I won't be able to wear marauder helmet on my chosen?
or chosen shoulders on my marauder?

On this server, the other faction see your alternate appearance too. That's why we try to fix those kind of items.

Oh maaan.... at least let me keep the helmet for chosen and shoulders for marauder please!
I'm only asking for appearance of items that are ultra cool (items themselves are shitty)

On another note then why are ppl asking for different armors like Khorne armor to be available to be applied as appearance? It seems their pleas will be ignored due to what you've just said.

if i may comment

i would prefer if you put back the live system of faction only apperance and let us go ham with alt app

this new system where you can only modify axe appeances with axes and what not is very restricting

i like great swords on my chosen but cant use it to modify the ugly lvl 35 2h axes

torq made a comment the other day about him wanting people to see how he cosmetically modifed hos wh and stuff

but when im in an sc or orvr fighting to win a fight im not going to stop and zoom in on his wh to star at his shoulder piece or hat

Nope. We take them away now, because we're planning on giving them back out later as rewards for live events, new quests, mailing us cookies, etc. We might want to use some as default appearances for new gear, like special sets. There are also some that just don't belong, like Slayers having leftover Hammerer gear.

Aesthetics are important to many people, myself included and on live chosens were running around with deformed WH coats on and all sorts of crap.

A sovereign helm, as Im sure you appreciate, is not for tier 1 classes to run around with. I dislike the animations of DoKs so dont play them as nothing can ever be done about that.

You will not be disappointed with what you will be able to look like in the near future, either in actual armour sets of appearances, of that I can assure you but it will be appropriate for the classes so no Blackguards in bikinis.

I'm totally cool with what you've said BUT those items I present here are nowhere near of what you are saying. It doesnt twist the model, it doesnt make your head smaller or bigger or smthg. I've been playing it on Live server for long time so I've tested it thoroughly.
Look at the base models of Marauder and Chosen. One is clone of another with tweaked arm/shoulder rig. THATS IT.
Head, Chest, Hands, Waist, Thighs, Feet are exactly same size, bones are in exact same places (except for the mutated arm in case of Marauder).

[TenTonHammer]

Well then id like to put out a humble request

bar the sc weapons 2hs black orcs have only 2 axe designs for 2h axes throughout all 3 tiers

some variety like choppa has would be nice, the fact that their are no 2h swords makes me sad

You will not be disappointed with what you will be able to look like in the near future, either in actual armour sets or appearance, of that I can assure you but it will be appropriate for the classes so no Blackguards in bikinis.

just crossing my fingers for shield maiden armor for female wls

And once again, I can only stipulate that you need to cool your jets on the complaints of appearance, its hard for me to hold my tongue as you wouldnt believe what I have thrown together and dug out of the database, we are actively working to give you AMAZING looking gear the likes of which you never got on "live", the perception that we are restricting you is based on a false premise of immediacy.

torq you know i love you fam

maybe my choice of words in poor or the way im phrasing in such a way that your getting the vibes getting from the post but im really not that "worked up" about this

im well aware of all the behind the scenes up comming work
