No Visuals for the Romulan Imperial Navy Combat Armor ? Not Cool!

So as the title says there is So far No visuals what so ever for the Romulan Imperial Navy Combat Armor set. Is this Really intentional Cryptic ?
I mean seriouslly I think just about Everyone was expecting some kind of awesome visual for the Romulan ground set. But no you dropped the ball and instead went the lazy route.
You've essentially wasted our time with a bait an switch tactic, thinking that were getting a new visual when in fact there never was one ? Sure the sets Awesome stat wise but no new visual ?
That's just very Disappointing at the least.
And don't get me started on the Iconian Rep armor OMG WTF.....
Anyone else feel the same way ? I was actually anticipating a nice visual, but nope nothing >.>.

I also was looking forward to a costume for this set, but I'm not aware of Cryptic ever suggesting a costume was coming.
Seeing as others will demand it, or deride you for not already providing it, I might as well be the one to ask. Can you link something which says there was going to be a costume?
That's just faction specific.
This set is faction neutral.
Yeah the Iconian Reputation is messed up. The suit is just plain ugly while the gauntlets, helm, boots, and shoulder pads could see some use if we are able to mix and match reputation costumes.
They never did. The fans just wanted some Romulan themed armor and people started band waggoning. Seeing how many people are wanting a unique Romulan visual, I wonder if they will add one for the set at a later date?
A faction neutral set of armor made by a very specific faction. Just because everyone can use it, doesn't mean that it couldn't have had a unique visual. Hell, they still haven't really even done that for the klingons out side of an ev suit and the borg armor.
I assume you mean a unique visual per faction. That's exactly what they more-or-less explicitly won't do.
Yeah, it should have had a unique visual. One which is available to all three factions. That's the most likely way you'll be able to have a request for a new costume filled.
Space sets: Solanae and Kobali.
Basically all but one of the "Free" sets we can get just by playing missions. The Breen set used to only have engine visuals, but they later added shield visuals.

To the discotec! we're late to meet up with buck rogers and colonel wilma deering!
The least Cryptic could do is either give it a unique look free or via Lobi trade-in like the Solanae. At least a nice armored Imperial Romulan theme.
Solanae is an EV Suit and not proper combat armor. So, Bye!
Jem'Hadar Ground Set has it's costume option but it's tied behind the Lobi Store.
Its an Assumption that Literally everyone had when they 1st announced the set as a reward, they knew that the player base has been for a long time, wanted a Romulan Themed ground set that would go with the Romulan rep.
Well we got the ground set, mostly, armor and shield, kits a nice touch, which leaves your choice of weapons open. But we didn't get a Visual! I was Really looking forward to an awesome, Romulan themed armor set, but nope, didn't even get a basic visual >.>. So ya very disappointed >.<.
Not a very good comparison.
Sounds like the only other ground set without a unique visual is the JH set. While I'd like a unique armor for it, I can only assume that will come when they revisit either the Cardassian arc or, more likely, when they turn to the GQ for more content.
So am I. I'd love to get my fed main into a TNG style Romulan costume. It's possibly the only thing I would replace whatever it is I'm wearing now (I think it's a diplomat costume, maybe some sort of admiral, idk).
