	\| Text =		\| Text = Greetings,
	\| Developer =		<br><br>For a while now many players have posted concerns about multi-slot pieces of armor and clothing and the ways they are unfriendly to the play experience. In particular is the desire to have the visual impact of certain multi-slot pieces without totally sacrificing stats.
	\| Title =		<br><br>We are working on solutions to make this a little more player friendly. Our goal is to make this better without invalidating current suits or trivializing the process of acquiring armor. I wanted to go over several thoughts we had in our early design stages to let the players give some input.
			<br><br>~ First, shirt and pants clothing (we are not talking armor) would be fixed so any pants and shirt combination gives abdomen coverage. Basically all pants will cover, at a minimum, abdomen and upper legs. This means existing pieces will be extended to cover the abdomen. All shirts would also be fixed so they only cover chest so as not to interfere with pants. This should leave existing player suits intact without additional holes in coverage.
			<br><br>~ Second, a new quest would be introduced so once per month players could, at some effort and/or expense, transform one coat/shirt/hauberk into a breast plate while retaining the visual look of the piece. The piece would be set up so it would still visually cover multiple areas, effectively overriding the visual piece that is already there.
			<br><br>~ Third, a new quest would be introduced so once per month players could, at some effort and/or expense, transform one set of pants into a girth while retaining the visual look of the piece. The piece would also be set up so it would still visually cover multiple areas, effectively overriding the visual piece that is already there.
			<br><br>~ Fourth, we are considering changing all long leather gloves into single slot hands and shorts into single slot abdomen pieces. They would still cover the same areas visually, but they would be single slot armor. Our main concern is some exisiting characters that used these items would now have holes in coverage they would have to fill.
			<br><br>We could also in the future add the capability to the once per month quest to change sleeves into pauldrons and leggings into tassets while, again, keeping the same visual look.
			<br><br>~ Finally, with all this look swapping I am going to look at adding armor coverage into the examination panel when you look at another character. No promises on this; I would need to examine the tech involved.
			<br><br>(We looked at a few other suggestions; for example to allow single slot pieces to be crafted onto multi-slot pieces but they were not feasible with our current tech.)
			<br><br>Sev~

	Being the head of operations planning was the most challenging job that Jiro had ever attempted. When things went smoothly he shared the praise with his men. But when plans failed, the blame was his alone. Perhaps he had been too ambitious in his latest plans. After commandeering Freebooter Keep and establishing a beachhead on ~~Nyr’leha~~ it seemed these troops could not be defeated. Maybe his over-confidence had cost the lives of those two brave warriors.		Being the head of operations planning was the most challenging job that Jiro had ever attempted.

	As he looked at his second in command, his most trusted of friends, Jiro realized that not only was Shoici sure the mission could be completed but he had also already found another candidate.

Jiro ~~wouldn’t~~ even be here to make this decision if it ~~hadn’t~~ been for the dedicated actions of Shoici during that catastrophe early in their careers.

	Jiro waited for the candidate to be brought before him. The question was whether to be direct and let the soldier know how much of the future depended on the outcome or to hide the importance of the endeavor. If this one was as strong as Shoici was convinced of, performing under the weight of the truth would not become an issue. The door opened and the candidate entered with confidence, Shoici followed in behind, shutting the door as he entered and watched for ~~Jiro’s~~ reaction. Jiro Sasaki looked up to see the face of the one who would either be called the failure, or the hero. Unlike the previous candidates it was not excitement that Jiro saw, but determination and intelligence. The future looked brighter already.		Jiro waited for the candidate to be brought before him.
