The feature set for the Sentinel’s Fate expansion has always included a bullet point indicating that Sentinel’s Fate would contain “more new armor appearances than currently exist in the game“. Yet players have been surprised that a lot of the brand new armor, weapons, shields, etc. dropping in Sentinel’s Fate look exactly like existing items.
Kander has shed some light on this issue:
Yes, many of these items got missed on the appearance pass. I am unsure why or how. We will start changing them for newer appearances ASAP. Please PM me if you have any other specific instances of gear that looks like noobie gear dropping from Sentinel’s Fate raids or even group zones, we will see what can be done.
How do you equip appearance armor in the appearance slots? The appearance armor that you get as a SF bonus doesn’t seem to equip into those slots, making the armor quite useless as “appearance armor.”
in General how do you drag and drop or are there certain peices that don’t want to play?
I’d kinda noticed this, but didn’t think much of it. Today I was checking out groupmates and seeing what “nice gear” from SF they had hidden by older things, and yeah… the good Legendary items from SF were looking like noobie or T1 gear. Definitely something that needs to be fixed.
