All 10 creators of these fashions will receive one Wardrobe Stone as well as one entire fashion set (headwear, top, bottom, and shoes) of their choice from the Boutique!


We are now in the final stage of this contest - the forum poll!

Remember, whichever design (one per gender) gets the most votes in one week will be considered the winner of the event, and will win the

Grand Prize of 10,000 ZEN!

The polls will close Friday April 16th at 6pm Pacific!

    "A" is acceptable.

    "B" is ok but similiar to what we already have

    "C" is laughably bad.

    "D" and "E" are pretty lousy, but kids would buy them so I'm sure they will do well. Actually "E' looks like someone just cut out a random google search picture of a ninja and turned it in.

    I had to agree with all of this.

    Well maybe not for C as such. C looked okay and yet... it seems so lacking I'm not sure how you can tell the pieces of fash apart.

    D I kinda liked actually, but I don't know if a monster arm counts as fashion. Cool design but I don't really think it worked for the contest. However, that same monster arm is really going to appeal to the guys who wanted "badass" fash for guys on the game.

    E I just snorted at. Honestly, that was one of the best designs? Methinks not. It's also a fashion set that wouldn't work for barbs. Headgear.

    Has PWE ever even pretended to care about things like that?

    Point taken.

    But I still can't help but to let my heart bleed for the barbarians in this. They're getting such the bad end of the stick. [And like they need a monster arm anyway when they're giant anthropomorphic beasts. >.> ]

    I won't hide the fact that (and I'm gonna get hounded for this) I DON'T support the true form movement. Not for a second. . .

    But the fact that the devs are really THAT lazy that the can't program in some simple **** so the barbs can wear headgear? That just goes into my every growing "PWE Genuinely Doesn't Care Aboubt PWI" file.

    I don't support the true form movement either. Know why?
    TRUE FORM. How obvious does it need to be that the barb's TRUE form is a tiger? They even called it that. If anything, I'd support a venomancer "True Form" drive, because at least they don't have their animal form named True Form.

    Not that I'm saying it wouldn't be cool to have giant wolves around, but there is a reason it's called True Form and not Tiger Form in game.

    And yeah, agree on the second. I admit there's some headgear that wouldn't make sense on a barb [ninja headgear, anybody? Final design here, anybody? -acough-] but there's some fashion I'd love to see on barbs. Like... a barb in a beret. I would love to see a barb in a beret.

    If they were gonna use a generic ninja design for this, I wish they would've used my generic ninja design. In fact, the only reason I sent an entry in at all was because I figured they were due for a ninja design.

    If that was directed at me: No, that's not mine. Mine was less generic ninja, and more Strider Hiryu. Though that's still pretty generic, I suppose.

    If that wasn't directed at me, disregard this post.

    I like how all the fashioned are ripped off from certain characters and that D is ripped from the character I'm named after (although it's a shame I didn't submit it).

    Damn, third page.

    Well, voicing my displeasure anyway, and NOT because my design isn't up there.
    To clarify:
    -Not upset that I lost - rather, upset that I look at these designs (C and E, in particular) and think "I lost to THAT?"
    -Props to PWE, Frankie & the other GMs for having an event where we can pick winners, instead of some faceless jury.
    -Because as seen above, and with the previous screenshot contest, the "faceless jury" of PWE HQ has demonstrated a remarkable lack of taste and judgment in these things.

    ...I was going to go through and pick apart each design, but frankly - I'm wasting my time. Just like the screenshots picks from last month, the winners are the winners, yay for them. But Frankie? You guys really need to find better judges on this stuff.

    EDIT: Not voting. No matter what we pick, we get the shaft again.
    EDIT2: Oh, by the way? We've already got a Ninja set coming out.
    Ninja TB. How about that.
    EDIT3: Yes, made a third one.

    I'm sorry, but out of 2000 entries we only had 5 entries for male outfits I guess?

    I havent submitted anything, cause I can't draw/photoshop for ****, but man how bad are these designs....

    There have GOT to have been better entries then this, I was actually looking forward to this, on the chance of gettting some not-so-asian fashion for us guys, but I will never buy any of thisb:sad

    Balthier:
    I am a bit disappointed my Valiant set wasn't one of the 5, but I'm not terribly surprised either. Barbs aren't allowed to have hairstyles, and I suppose pointing out a feasible way it could be done was just shooting myself in the foot.

    like Keph of course i am disappointed that my submission didnt even make it to a vote but that those that did are pretty meh... I also so many better in the fashion contest thread.

    first one is so similar to existing "business" suit type as to perhaps be an option for pick and mix fashion.. 2nd choice reminds me of the superstar fashion with extra coverage. C is okay, D is interesting at least in its design.. as for D.. ok ninjas are meant for stealth etc.. but could it be any plainer. its not like anywhere in pwi gets dark enough that you would blend in the shadows wearing that..


    me.. i had high hopes for some new interesting fashions.. guess i should never have hope where pwi is involved these days.

    A: The overall design is quite nice, but lacking in imagination. More plain trousers for the guys? Another shirt and tie option? Just kinda screams meh!
    B: Bit too similar to the Helmsley fashion already available. T-bar shoes are a bit girly for my tastes too. There are a few nice details giving it more of a biker look though.
    C: Reminds me of the male vampire set, recently released. Only a less "rubbery" version (trying to keep it clean). I'm sure most guys would love to have fashion that was mostly black, and so this would probably prove quite popular were it to be released. However, it lacks finer detail and is a bit plain looking.
    D: Saw this and thought "Devil may cry" - I assume that's where the demonised hand thing came from. I don't see this fashion working in game - the hand wouldn't work with weapons and would look plain wrong on barb classes. I also couldn't even begin to imagine lime green, or fuschia pink version of this set!
    E: Bit of a cop-out really. I agree with the comments about barbs and head-gear - how would this work? Actually, any class other than humans - would elf ninjas have little feathers sticking out of their hats? Fish people have gills showing? Etc etc. Lacks imagination.

    The set I'd least oppose to seeing in game would be C. Though a more refined (and less vampire set copy) version of this.

    Sorry if my comments offend, but they are my thoughts on the designs.

    I'm guessing the "judges" chose the sets based on their resemblance with already planned fashion sets.wmgjhz%20(11).gif

    Either way, I won't be wearing any of these.wmgjhz%20(3).gif
