Well at least Ubisoft isn't trying to pawn off inferior armors for lots of real money. But still these perks. Hey JorRaptor maybe you can ask your Ubisoft friends why they keep picking random perks for random armor sets.
I already have the Rus’ armor set, which is actually historically accurate of Viking armor in the East. The Vikings there were called the Rus’, and gave their name to modern Russia. But I’m really hyped that we have a Byzantine set as well. That and the Rus’ set really recall the history of the most famed Vikings of all time: the Varangian Guard - the Roman Empire’s elite shock infantry during the Byzantine era. The Byzantine armor itself is basically the armor worn by the Skoutatoi - the standard infantry of the Byzantine Roman Empire. They’re armed with weapons that Julius Caesar would have recognized but would have been a lot different.
also the carolingian armor chest piece is really good for a more wealthy Viking like don't get me wrong they both match the feel of a wealthy Viking considering that the wealthier the Viking the flashier the color which matchs the rus armor but the overall armor of the carolingian looks more wealthy due to the gold inlays and overall more armoring but once I get the Rus armor I'm definitely using it
I was thinking the same, Alot of the roaming npc/story npc have smooth simple styles i like. I also wish we’d get more outfits without sleeves, lets us show off out tatts?
@@jamesmacpheators7222 I love that outfit. I transmogged it with the dragur outfit. Did you know if you wear the thralls pants the merchant outfit turns blue.
Imagine one big helix store across all assassins creed games and you can actually keep your purchased gear and use it game to game as they update the systems. This is the only way I’d actually be okay with the helix store
bro you on to sth. this would actually be dope as fuck and they didnt have to re release skins bc. they couldnt. There is just the small issue that they will have to make the skin look a bit different or whatever depending on the armor system the game uses. Plus a lot of skins wouldnt fit the setting and be sorta misplaced and they would run out of ideas
@@thehiddenone2875 it would definitely take a little bit of effort on Ubisoft’s part to get it right but it 100% could be done. There’s so many less greedy ways ubi could run the in game store if they wanted to still keep it, they just rather rip us off :(
@@agnody1 Corporate Greed is a factor yes but implementing all the skins into each new game and coding them in do they fit to the characters size is very time consuming and exerts little to no reward. It’s a waste of time really if you were to view it in a different perspective. Coders and visual designers have to be paid and where is that money coming from if not from the helix store? Sure you could say the game sales but that really doesn’t factor when considering continuous support to a game that exerts minimum profit. A lot of games do this, if they aren’t getting paid for it they simply aren’t going do it. It’s actually pretty hilarious that Fortnite has done the overpriced skins thing and promoted such prices. But no one complained then, if they had then the overpricing of in game cosmetics wouldn’t have became a trend or at least in the capacity it has currently. You can actually look at the fortnite shop and the Helix store and the pricing is the EXACT same. The company is acting in their interest and everyone has a job to play in a big company, so you can’t really blame the people that work there nor the people that implement and scale cosmetic prices, at the end of the day they do their job or they get replaced. It’s really no ones fault other than ours as a consumer, we should’ve prevented this, but then again how are we when a good portion of the Cosmetics consumers are privileged little kids. We can play the blame game but at the end of the day none of us tried to prevent it, it’s our own fault just as it is the person that created micro transactions.
@@user-jt6rh8xy6n Changing the size wouldn't really be coding, it would be modeling and retexturing, they would have to pretty much remake said outfit from scratch to fit different character and make new texture for said character, without that it would turn into monster, I've seen bug in WoW, when dwarf's texture was applied to Orc's model, result was weird and a bit disturbingly looking creature with red beard over it's eyes and painted eyes on top of it's skull, it also had mouth on it's forehead. They would have to make new cloth physics aswell, that might have something to do with coding, I have no idea really, I've never worked with physics. Gotta love how people always make these things sound so easy, it's nice to see someone that gets it.
@@francescofioroni70 loool its consumers like you that together fuck up franchises, how your accepting reskins is just a joke, do you know how lazy that is of developers, ubisoft should be ashamed of the helix store and this dlc in general
I gotta say the russ armor actually looks very viking compared to other sets I'd say this and the einherjar set are the most viking looking I'd say do a combination of these 2 sets and you'll have a true viking set.
I also like the hunter and modraniht tunic. I actually feel like a 9th century Dane in England and not some nerd from WoW. I also like the green Assassin tunic though the bottom of it is a little too much.
@@roderickclerk5904 the byzantine set would make sense too because vikings were hired as mercs by the byzantines plus the hood would look blvery viking and the red color would signify that eivor is wealthy especially since he's a (spoiler) a jarl end game because red is an expensive dye but I like the lamellar spaulder and it makes more sense than plated pauldrons on many set plus the assassin logos would fit his relationship with the hidden ones and I don't see mail on it but it has splint and lamellar so it would work for him plus the lack of mail would make him lighter but have good protection for the helm the raven clan helm would fit better than the byzantine helm.
Okay the absolutely best thing in the game is the Gypsy horse. I've admired the breed forever, and now my Eivor gets to ride one! The Iberian armor set is also fantastic.
Does anyone miss when the clothes had physics? With the Egyptian Hej, in origins the back would flow when you ran.. and now when you run the back is sorta stuck to the back of your legs.
@@SobbingOrgans yep I mean look at the female and male bodys for odyssey and Valhalla. No difference. Only the clothes " Appear" to come out more for the boobs but it's not really a different body. Pretty lazy.
My question is, what the hell is that Ubisoft guy gonna say next time you get a chance to talk to him about basim. “Sooner than you think” shouldn’t be all the way to June.
I've been using the Rus armor set without the cloak recently. Really like the look of it (probably because it reminds me of something you'd see in Witcher 3).
These look cool, but rather than endless armor sets, I would rather they added optional unique RAIDER CREWS! (like Odysseus in AC Odyssey). A famous Viking crew with Ragnar Lothbrook, Erik the Red, Lagertha - for example (I know they are not alive at that time - but just for fun!) Or a mythological Raider Crew with Thor, Freya and Loki etc!! This would be SO much more interesting IMO !
Unrelated to outfits but I discovered a funky sickle sword glitch. Sometimes after performing the slide attack it'll get stuck, so while walking the haptics in your controller will stay and you'll even see dust getting kicked up behind you lol it thinks you're still sliding
@@MembersOfHistory lol he’s acting like he’s the first and only person to have discovered it. I’m simply pointing out that’s he not. Not sure how that makes me an ass; the only person here who is an ass is you.
Ever considered doing some sort of Armor showcase again, like custom Transmog outfits from the community? Would really love to see it as some sort of inspiration for cool looks ^^. Keep up the great work
@@AttakusZakus The Russ armor set is mostly inspired by the Slavic armors not the Norse/Viking ones. So, it's kind of funny to know that the armor that looks the most "Viking" one to you is actually a Slavic inspired armor. Like 80% of the elements of the armor are typically found in Medival Slavic real life armors.
Thank you so much for answering a question I had asked. I wondering if I could do the trade without main story bcuz I'm somewhat still in the beginning.
In terms of crit builds my dual dagger build strongly disagrees. I play on Drenger and Master Assassin in terms of difficulty. I use: Mentors robes full armour set with the brigandine rune. (With melee damage, evasion and weight runes on each piece) Modraniht seax with the rune increase crit chance the lighter you are. Suttungers claw with restore health for each crit hit. (I play on the hardest difficulty and never use my rations) Spartan bow with increase attack after a combo finisher (5 stacks) Also I’m level 427.
The Rus Armor is one of the best sets in the game in my humble opinion. Captured Viking Assassin really well without being over the top. I paired the Rus cloak with the Brigantine Armor. Looks perfectly Viking Assassin.
@@genevievelaplace7301 then you can wear the armor that suits your idea of what you want. Doesn't change the fact that they sold us a customized character with cool tattoos and the only armor to date where you can see them (unless you run around naked) is a purchase in the store. Sure, I can wear bayeks gear or run around shirtless but there are dozens of characters where they figured out how to show us their tattoos while wearing reasonable armor. Plus this is a video game where ur Odin reincarnated so I'm not buying it's about being realistic.
@@Hmgator AC Revelations only DLC. Rather than traditional gameplay, it was a first person puzzle platformer. Took about an hour to complete, yet it had some notoriously dumb and challenging trophies. It only added in the backstory to some minor character from the previous games current day story. Aside from that, no Ezio. Almost no tie-in to the Creed. Just a one-hour long shitty Portal wannabe which cost 15 bucks or so.
I hope they add more themed armors like the druidic armor. I don't even like the look of the armor but it has its own theme. Like it looks like something a bewitching pagan would wear. Most of the armor sets in the base game follow the trend of "When you upgrade it, put more gold on it" I don't like that because it makes the base armor sets feel samey to me (and sometimes ugly). Hopefully, they add more armor sets that get increasingly complex but still fit the theme, like named sets in Unity. In that game, if you got a better piece of armor with the same name, it would still fit the previous armor's theme, but just look like a mark 2.
Is it just me or do all "new" armor sets look the same :( Some of these are only different color variants Looks like Ubisoft does not put much effort into cool armor sets anymore
when I was tipped that Wrath of the Druids takes place in Ireland I immediately bought the season pass. I am Irish and I love the look of 9th Century Ireland, with it being Murky, Dark, and Badass. Plus, since I got the season pass I can also play The Siege of Paris when it comes out
I hope he does he would be a great member maybe even a mentor to the hidden ones i think what hytham gets him to do is training him without him realising
@@adamcooper1735 they really didn't. first hes a viking so that wouldnt work like at all. and the templars arent even created yet. So that wont work either
Thank you Jorr, it's really nice to see them all in one place💜 P. S. I'm really disappointed there's no helm with Antlers like the guy on the postér for the dlc has.
i like how they brought back the origins outfit but made it WORSE seriously it just shows the laziness of them not putting cloth physics on it, it just looks wrong now. (and yes cloth physics are VERY easy to implement these days so it is considered lazy when it's not put into a game)
Ubisoft isn't even trying anymore. The Iberian outfit is a semi recolor of the Persian Legend outfit from AC Origins, The Egyptian armor is the Egyptian Hedj outfit with an additional unneeded cloak, The Izu outfit is literally just a reskinned Nifilheim armor in white with the fur around the shoulders removed and added Redbull Angel Wings! The Izu mount is straight from Origins just recolored. And what happened to the Basim armor being in the Druids DLC? So was all those leaks a week ago a lie!
I really liked the Iberian Armor and wore it until I had the Dublin Champion armor. It wasn't the ingots it was the titanium I had to wrk for to rank things up. Had plenty of mats. Still fun to apply the Poke-man theory. Gotta get em all. Great video.
It’s so annoying how Valhalla doesn’t have any cloth physics. It’s looks so bad and out of date. The flowing cloth in origins is so immersive. Even the knight armor in origins had individual moving armor plates. Valhalla armor just looks like rubber.
Hello man, great video as always, and thanks for your work. I'd like to ask a question, because I don't think I heard an answer to that. Will we see stat bonuses for sickles or are they considered/paired with another weapon type for the skill tree bonuses ?
@@nima6955 Nono, I’m not mad at you, I’m just gonna be mad that I’ll be possibly having to force myself to do multiple challenges for an armor only good for transmog, but dang does the basim armor look awesome though.
The one thing i am still questioning are the lines that Gunnar is saying, like what are they related to the second dlc? A festival? What do you think jordan
Both Iberian and Egypt are reskins from Origin (ofc. exluding helmet and cape). Remember those since they were my favourite (untill i got ISU and Anubis). Dont know about the rest.
@@thehiddenone2875 i have season pass amd when game wanted me to "buy" wotd for 25bucks i just clicked to see what happens, then it gave me 3 options word free on all of them
crits seem to proc a lot because i am using the major rune that ignites your weapon on a crit and i am fighting with a flaming spear about 1/2 to 2/3rds of the time i am fighting
Not a real problem but I think it would be cool if we had the ability to match or change the color palette of gear, just have shaders or dye packs (attainable in game)
