Getting the set was a bit of work, most people obviously wanted to either keep it or want a lot of cash since its still fairly rare and thats totally understandable.  I had TWO asks for 150b, shooting for the moon fellas but i appreciate the hustle.

 

 

Stuff youre interested in:

I paid 

 

5 for gloves(this year)

11 for pants(first drop)

10 for boots(first drop)

12 for chest(was my last piece, i spent more than i wanted but im impatient)

 

The visage was hilarious.  I wanted to spend 5-6, seller wanted 10-12.  In true degenerate fashion he offered me a $1 RR game.  If i won, i got it for 5.  If i lost, i paid 10.  I paid 10.  Which is ok, good for him that was hilarious.

 

I expect prices to come down to more reasonable prices later, but i paid the epeen fee.

 

The set looks awesome.  They did a great job with the artwork.

 

 

 

The set itself is....not great.  For those that dont know here is what it does.  The bonus is exactly what i figured, but i was hoping for something else.

 

 

At first this looks pretty decent, however it treats all body parts as different.  So if you get hit in the left leg, it doesnt protect groin or right leg, for example.  I'm going to submit a bug report to make sure its supposed to work like this and its not just a byproduct of torns combat, but i'm guessing its working as intended.  As it stands right now its a pure epeen flex set, but maybe have some use on a top 10 player in a pillow scenario.   Maybe.  I'll be following up with damaster to see if he wants to test anything with this.  I'm not the best test target with my dex.

 

I think the coverages are on the wiki, but i can add them if you guys want. The visage is pretty unique here though.  I'd really, really like to see any part thats covered trigger the piece bonus.  So if you got hit in the arms it would trigger all 3 pieces with arm coverage.  Might be OP though?

 

 

.33 groin coverage, the 2nd part of the set bonus is the tentacles tickle your balls.

What I'm curious about is does the bonus work against group attackers? Will one person hitting your leg protect your leg from all of your attackers for the next 15 seconds?

Ya.  It has to be the same body part, so if you get pillowed in the left leg, and someone shoots you in the left leg itll be -75%.

NGL, the set itself is beautiful! 
I mean, I'd pay 5b extra just for the looks :D 
The rest seems meh indeed, but it's a novelty. 

GJ making it whole mate! This was indeed the amazing part!

It's definitely a pretty cool cosmetic. There's worth things to waste your money on. At a certain point you'll never get to spend all your money anyways when you have like 500 billion. So why not buy something cool that's unique and rare enough.
