Scrat Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Simple. HoS no longer has an armored TRENCHcoat (they have a regular coat but not trenchcoat) and dermal armor patch. They had the exact same stats as the HoS hat and regular coat, so there is no reason they should of been removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeysfist101 Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 I fully agree that the armor patch should be brought back, but the coats were merged and can be toggled in the items tab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fox McCloud Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 There's a couple of reasons why these were removed -Inconsistent Theme -Poor/no visual communication -You're not as cool as Adam Jensen The trenchcoat and dermal armor patch have always kinda been out there pieces of materials; they don't really match anything else the entire security force has; it stood apart from the usual wear uniforms sharply without any really specific reason for it to do so other than "I want to cosplay as Adam Jensen". The whole reason these pieces even existed was...well, exactly for that purpose, as noted in the code. Expanding on this a bit further, there was a bit of security cleanup a while back that attempted to reduce the amount of sec-clothing spam we had; basically security had a whole bunch of different uniforms and armors, but none of them were really unified or consistent with each other---and some jobs (HoSin particular) had nearly half a dozen uniforms/armors to pick from. Once things were cut down, a second full set of security clothing was added--you now can choose from one of two complete sets; classic (red jumpsuits with sec caps and the traditional hats you see on the warden/HoS) and tactical/formal (more formalized jumpsuits with red accents and berets, with Warden and HoS receiving distinctive armors to match). The secondary problem it has, particularly for the dermal armor patch, is that it had no visual communication to the player that "hey, he has armor on". Yes, I realize that the current hats the HoS hats don't scream "super armor", but they do visually demonstrate whether or not the HoS is equipped or not. This wasn't just for the HoS either; if the HoS decided to wear his regular hat, but pass along the dermal piece to someone else (or Captain wanted it), this obscured the line even more so. You're not as cool as Adam Jensen. Sorry, get over yourself, you'll never be as cool as he is, so stop giving that million-mile stare, 'cause you're still not as cool as Adam Jensen.

Scrat Posted January 13, 2015 Author Share Posted January 13, 2015 Well the assumption I'm trying to be Jensen and not just appreciate the neater look is much appreciated... I guess I can understand, even though Examine works wonders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
