It's my belief that epic items should have matching epic artwork. Seeing that the new epics (as well as some old ones) aren't at least animated gives an impression similar to an avi created with a text-slapped random image. It's as if there was little effort poured into creating them. The artwork for Chumanas Set looks better compared to these.

 

 

Nutcrackers Walnut Ring

 

Choker of Time

 

Sylvestris' Pine Loop

 

Granny Jezes Jumper

 

Rhizomes Biscuity Necklace

 

(Boots from Mirka the Abominable)

 

 

 

They are called 'Epics' for a reason, so they should be distinguishable from non-epic items.

i hate christmas but i love art..

 

if the artist is happy and content with these images then that is all that matters.. they shouldn't change it because we think it should be more or different or shinier.. but if they want to come back to them and work more on them, then i'm all for their artistic path.. whichever one they choose..

 

with that said.. these items aren't epic looking at all.. they remind me of some simple seasonal quest rewards..

Since we are talking about graphics, I would love to see a color light behind all items, a different color for each kind of item.

Common: No light
Rare: Blue light
Unique: Pink light
Legendary: Yellow light
SE: Red light
Epic: Green light

Any news on the type of stats the epics are going to have as far as hourly gains go?

Honestly wouldnt pay for any of the New Epics because i personally dont like the looks of any them.. Like the monsters, but not the epics..

unique and go with the theme ...  and yes everything looks better with a little gleam ..  but I somehow feel sorry for these lil epics and want to hug them =) please stop bullying the geek in the sweater.

The current iteration of Choker of Time is actually a huge improvement over the original that was released so perhaps the others will get a revisit as well.

 

Personally, I kinda like the look of choker of time and not sure it belongs on this list.

 

As for the granny sweater jumper, looks like its following the theme of awful X'mas sweaters which are all the rage in the US  right now, so it seems to fit from that perspective!

But yeah, the artwork for the new epics is definitely underwhelming.
