Gloves Vs. Staff Poll

[svayvti]

Since there was no poll or inquiry to see if anyone wanted the gloves before hand, I'm curious to see how many like the change.

I'm also curious to see how many would prefer to have a choice in the game.

I think the gloves look really cool.
But I like having choice in a game, so bring back the staves as well and add maybe spellbooks/globes/amulet type weapons & 2handed staves.

I like the gloves better.
The look of the staff is bad (well, I only know the small 1 handed staff).
A two-handed big staff would have been better.
I do not like the gloves much but it's better.
I'd rather prefer some less "childish-toy" looking glives though ...

I would like a choice, and I would also like to see the staff remain in the 2h tree, with the gloves added in to the new 'close combat' tree.

Crafters who worked for hours grinding the 2h skill in order to make high quality amps, and all the people who supported that grind, should not have all their hard work rendered useless by this change to crafting and magery.

Hmm, spellbooks, globes, and amulets all seem rather neat as well.

While magic is fun, the look is just wrong for me now.

IMO they need to add more sci-fi looking stuff. Right now I definitely think things look more fantasy than anything else.

I liked someone's description of boxing gloves, lol. At least they aren't wicker for crying out loud.

Was very disappointed that the stash of staves I banked in anticipation of the patch (generally MMORPG items seem to stay the same in this sort of circumstances and new ones will have the new look) turned into a packer mule full of chicken gloves. Poor Xalgarr looks like he's wearing a pair of dead chickens on his hands now. :/

I think it was a pathetic misuse of time they clearly desperately needed to use on real game issues vs. revamping a graphic issue.

For that reason I hate the gloves. Those gloves cost desperately needed game improvements.

I guess, my unrealistic hope was that the magic gloves would replace the largely useless light/med/heavy gloves (ever got hit in the hand?), so that we could use a melee weapon at the same time. Maybe that would have unbalanced the play too much, but it might be needed against the newly upgraded mobs.
