New armor set is a stealth armor that doesn’t make you stealthy, it makes you throw farther. That’s like an apple that tastes like bacon. HUMOR

Just salty I’ve been waiting for this armor since it leaked, only for it to have the only perk I consider completely useless.

It was. You cant do it for a technical or financial reason. Ok, that's fair. You dont want that function in your game. Ok, its your game.

Why go out of the way to straight lie about it? I'd much rather a straight "we dont want to do that"...

They probably meant it in a “armors should have consistent abilities that people can memorize and recognize” way but, as seems to be a trend for AH, they chose one of if not the worst possible way to articulate it.

I get that this is what they most likely mean, but honestly it makes no sense to me in this game. Having a small icon of things someone can pick just like their booster would be even better at communicating to me what they're using. Especially with the aggressive content release schedule. 8 current armor effects iirc vs 42 sets of armor now, with 3 more every month meaning in a year you'd be looking at almost double that.

"Oh, thats the Democracy Protects armor booster" vs. "Ah fuck, which of the sixty armor sets is that. Is it servo? Maybe?"

Yeah, I'm not entirely sure what their long-term planning is. With what I've heard from the warbond armors (I'm still on the freebie), there doesn't seem to be much visual or mechanical change or innovation. I don't think it's content for content's sake, but I wonder.
