So i just saw the new viking armor and i can say that from the whole bunch only Valk and Warlord got the better treatment. IMO the rest are just terrible. Berserker looks like a homeless man, raider like a Saturday night "scary" villain from Scooby-Doo, Highlander and Shaman look the same almost zero progress on those two, which is a damn shame, i was looking forward for a furless armor for HL, instead he looks the same, with added GEMS and braids to his armor. Cent and glad, they look fabulous, but the rest are just terrible imho, nothing glorious just hobos and lame scary halloween costumes for the vikings. I am really disappointed to see the bad *** vikings get such terrible treatment.
Valk looks amazing, with LB, my favorite new armor. However, I wish they offered one version with clean looking boots, without fur.
Warlord is ok, but all 3 sets look too similar. Why so much obsession with sculls?
Raider is just a guy from cheap horror movies. I was hoping for chainmail shirt or some type of armor but instead we got guy from snuff movies.
Higlander as you already pointed out, too similar to current armor sets. Again, I was hoping for different armor, maybe more iron/steel in it but got disappointed with his armor sets.
Berserker is homeless guy. Ok, I would get that one of the sets doesn't have any boots on, but all of them?
Shaman, don't have opionion, only hero I never unlocked.
I actually really disliked most of the viking sets except valks, hers were awesome, as far as hl goes I dont play as him so I dont care so much, I wish raiders sets were a little more different from each other. Warlords were a big meh for me, as a previous wl main that was dissapointing. Wish theyd put the same effort on vikings as on knights.Originally Posted by dreadnauta Go to original post
I like Raiders new look as well. Personal favorite is Cent and Conq, even tho cent armor is almost same just skull themed. But I do agree that Berserker looks very awful doesn`t look like a warrior rather like woodcutter. and Yes HL and shaman almost same no change at all...Too bad especially for HL how popular he is, he started as first open face hero they could add him some cool full face helmets now etc. Samurais are all nice tho except shinobi. piece
Raider looks like either a Butcher or a Blacksmith, aka, someone not to go on a Viking (it's also not 'scary' at all).
Berserker only looks reasonably good as a female, otherwise, he does look homeless and nothing like a Viking.
Warlord doesn't look too bad, but they seem to have gone the wrong way with his look, he looks less realistic now than before. Just add some mail and get rid of the skulls and he'll look good (wish he looked a little younger, but that's nitpicky).
Valkyrie looks great, would've liked to have seen her face, but not a huge problem.
Shaman, apart from hair style, hasn't changed, like at all, only very minor stuff.
Highlander, who isn't even a 'Viking,' looks more like a Viking than the Vikings. But like Shaman, he hasn't changed much.
