I need more than stats to keep me excited about getting new gear! I play a tiefling wizard which is about as horrible an aesthetic combo as you can get:
Tail just completely clips through things, no regard for it at all.
Grey sweatpants forever. Hope you like them!
1 model for wizard with the pants cut off = 1-20, pants put back on 20-40, whole model 40-60?
I hope there are more in the works because this is the saddest selection of armor. I almost even bought the courtesan outfit just to have SOMETHING but then realized the burlap underwear which is not in the preview picture but part of the skin of every model shows right through it! So that's not even an option.
Help us out here!

Dying clothes seems to be pretty good though - three different colors on each piece of gear, and nice rich colors. Too bad you replace gear quickly enough that you wouldn't want to dye your lv20 armor. (Now, if you could use a piece of armor in a costume slot.....
You can recycle the look of old pieces onto new pieces of armour by using the change appearance option after right clicking on the armour piece. I have no idea if it transfers the dyes over or not however. That being said, a lot more different skins would be better and enable us to stand out a bit more instead of wearing the same stuff as everyone else that is the same class.
Want to know why Neverwinter is so laggy? Check out the "Latency" section in this thread.
when i opened a character and saw all the things that i can do with it, i was sure that im not going to see anything that looks like me...but then i entered the game just to see that everyone looks like everyone.
so disappointing.
you can throw all the character customizations to the garbage once you get your halmet...from lvl 20 everyone looks exectly the same.
Yeah after the epic toon makers of Champs and Star Trek using the Perfect World fashion Model is a somewhat backwards step.
Nepht and Dr Deflecto on primus
As others have already mentioned, from Champions and STO to this, it's a big step backwards in terms of variety and visual character design. Clones R Us.
That's what I'm personally worried about, but I think I read somewhere they would not add armor to the cash shop. Could be mistaken though.
The clipping on the rogue collars makes more than half the hairstyles in the game look terrible. Would be nice to get some stuff that didnt do that.
No armor with crazy stats. Aesthetic armor and clothing will most likely be in the cash shop. Actually clothes are already there.
Ahh. Thanks for the clarification.
I have seen the clothes already, and those I feel are fine. Armor of any design though should be left as earnable content, craftable or purchasable IN game. IMO of course.

You can hide helmets yes, simply right click the helmet and click on "hide visual effect".
This.
It is pretty obvious that they are going to make everything you can get in game to be washed out and bland. This will entice you to spend money in the cash shop to make your toon look "nice"
Three awful costumes.
You can for the rogue masks, so maybe for the others too.
Anyway, Cryptic, great job on the environments, now can you spare some cash for the character and costume guys? Cuz this is lameness.
As for that quote floating around about being able to sell customizeable appearances and wrestling with the costume option and whether they should be all CO/STO style, well that's bull****.
That's good. Would have been a shame to spend all that time making my character look good only to be hidden behind a helmet.
Some suggestions:
1. I think making craftable gear have unique models would be a great idea. Always nice to feel rewarded for all those hours crafting
2. Shirts...I understand that for practical reasons all chainmail undershirts will looks the same, but I would love to be able to disable visual for them (we can for helms, why not shirts - unless we can and I am just clueless); or make some unique models (higher quality maybe, for RP reasons they can be made from some advanced and rare material giving them a different look).
3. Pants - they are just ugly; adding some spikes, buckles, designs to pants would be wonderful.
4. Further customization - possibly add dyes, that allow you to add a design to your armor.
However, I do mind looking like everyone else when leveling. When I replaced my +1 chest for one labeled +2, I expected a different look. Didn't happen, had to swap between the two again to see the very slight differences. Even the colour scheme was the same. Seeing very similar characters all the time breaks immersion somewhat. MMOs have to balance the multiplayer aspect with the "everyone is the hero" story questlines, seeing visually indistinguishable toons all over town takes away some of the latter. And it's boring, makes town look less good.
Cryptic has, in the past, shown great care and attention to detail to the player characters. So when I found they were doing a fantasy D&D game I instantly thought "Finally? We will have a fantasy game with great character design." doh!
Anyway, I'll move on now. Here's hoping we see more IN game earnable stuff.
Currently you can do this with the helmet and the necklace, it baffles me they didn't include it on the rest of the pieces.
