  1. The Regal Aya system is an improvement over the old system, however, there are occasions where it falls a little flat and leads to frustration.

    With the recent rotation change bringing us Titania Prime and Gara Prime, I was quite looking forward to picking up Gara's Prime Accessories pack. Most Prime Accessories come with 2 items, one requiring 2 Regal Aya and the other 1. Unfortunately, Gara's accessories require 2 Regal Aya each, totaling 4.

    The previous system had set prices for different tiered packages. Regal Aya, at first glance, appears to follow this same tier system with the added bonus of allowing you to pick and choose items. Great! Where this falls flat is when Prime Accessories item prices differ from frame to frame. The cheapest Regal Aya package gives 3 Regal Aya. Great for most Prime Accessories items, but not for Gara Prime! I'd happily trade the platinum included in the pack for 1 more Regal Aya.

  2. When using a Tennogen skin on Mesa Prime with prime details switched off causes Shoulder armor pieces to be misaligned. It does not happen when using normal Mesa with Tennogen skin.

    An example:

    Mesa Prime using Marlet Tennogen skin and Lodestar shoulder pieces with Prime Details off. Shoulder pieces are misaligned (specifically the right shoulder placement).

    Base Mesa using Marlet Tennogen skin and Lodestar shoulder pieces. Armor pieces here are balanced and desired outcome.

  3. As a graphic designer, this new typeface for the menu is grating to look at.

    I appreciate updating the font rendering method, however, the new typeface is hideous. There kerning is splitting certain words appart, the weight is overly bold, certain characters use slab-serifs (the I's look like steel i-beams), and the style lacks the elegance of the original. This new font looks like a variation of Verdana; While screen/device friendly, it's quite bland.

    I really hope this is temporary as perhaps the original font wasn't available in a scalable format.

  4. The texture of the Repala Syandana appears quite different since the last hotfix (22.0.2) or possibly since Plains of Eidolon launch. 

    The cape no longer has the same reflective sheen as it used to, and if you look closely, it appears slightly transparent (bright light sources can be seen through the cape). The detailed, woven texture is missing now. 

    This could have been an intentional change or perhaps it is a bug. It's not a huge issue, but the lack of detail texture and sheen has reduced the depth this lovely cape once had.
