The Ashes of Creation team has posted a new blog that reveals a new armor set called the Regalia of the Iron Lion, symbolic of a new order that wants to "control the unknowable". It comes with its own story and a number of pieces including the Cuirass of the Pride, Aegis of Fangs, and the Dawnclaw Wand.

In 2019 they have reverted if you will to what other indies often do, publishing lots of Dev journals, trailers, concept art etc. but showing little in the way of progress in the actual game itself.

Not much of a story,doesn't tell us how you attain it,crafted,how do you get the mats,will you need a special trained crafting ability,are there various stats on it or the same stat every time,will you be able to imbue the armor with magic or gems ,will the mats determine the result,is there various TIERS of the armor,umm yeah a slack reveal.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.
So this tells me the lack of shared information is because this is simply a piece of armor,a look and not much thought put into it.yes i can read between the lines,it sounds like some sort of anti magic armor but that is all we get ,just assumption.
Why send this out for us to see and not give us anything,what is the point,we have all seen armor before in rpg's.

When you start off, there is all this buzz of activity. You lay the foundation a people around can see this massive foundation being set into the ground, you take pictures and are proud of this mess as it were. Then the exterior walls go up, more pictures, more cheers of progress. The homeowner is all impressed with the work and feels like this is going great. Roof goes the same way, then of course all the exterior finishes get done, and the Homeowner is beyond happy about all that is unfolding, and damn near feels ready to move in.
Yah.. up till then, the progress was these massive steps.. but they were just visible steps, they were the things that were very easy to see, but there was and is a lot going on in the background, that we need to get finished off before we move too far along.
So, then we get down to the electrical, plumbing, sewer, gas, all the amenities that we have come to know and love, that make a house more than just a pretty wooden box, which takes a lot of time, but there is not a lot to take pictures of, seeing wires in a wall is not something people write home about, so there is no longer this feeling "Holy Crap Progress!" at least not anything they can see, nothing like the mainframe of the house.
So, the homeowner is all like "Why is this taking so long" and this happens every house, every time, unless the homeowner works in the field professionally.
Then we get into the interior finishes, and the like.. and we have gotten to this 'Barren House" phase.. where you have most of the interior stuff done, but not all the fixtures, no one's staged it.. it's just this open rooms primed white. We get the final touches in, painters, flooring, built in fixtures like showers, sinks, cabinets, etc, and.. it still looks kinda barren, but as far as us builders go, the house is done. The door works, the keys work for the door, You turn on a switch and the lights turn on, the outlets work, the water works, everything is up and running as it should, at this point, the house is done. We have a beer and happy with out work, and the Homeowner inspects it and goes "Eh.. it's Ok"
Yah, I get it, it's an empty house, similar, even if not the same, to many of the other houses you have been in, we get that. We understand.
Then someone comes in and stages the place by putting in like a sofa and a plant in a room or some shit like that, and the Homeowners are like "OMG it feels like a home now".... and after all the work you had to do, all the details, all the shit that went on behind the scenes to get this done right, and they are gushing over a fucking sofa!
Yah.. just the way it goes.
Anyway, I get the vibe that making a MMO kinda feels the same, at some point you are doing the work that gets everything working, where after the big box is made, you need to make all the internal stuff work, a lot is being done, but nothing is really anything that is worth talking about to someone that does not work in the industry, so you end up show them a picture of what their new sofa might look like, and hope they shut up for a while, because, you just know, that after you get all the hard stuff done, that is what they are going to pay the most attention to anyway.
