Flight based apparel not being confined to festivals alone.
I know festivals are supposed to be special and all that but it’s extremely limiting to both the flight itself and the festival. Based on the reaction to plagues apparel this year I think it would be nice to not only get flight region/lore based apparel during festivals but also outside of festivals.
It seems very clear that with such a large amount of players not everyone will be happy with what we may get for festivals. So by having sets released outside of festivals that are obviously from a certain region we can have both [b]Lore based apparel[/b] and we can all’s have [b]Region based apparel[/b] so while festivals may follow the lore of each flight in apparel we can still get regional aesthetic apparel.
Since I am in ice I’ll share my experiences.
Our lore is prisons and such.

But not every likes these themes and I know I absolutely hate them myself as I’m here for the regional aesthetics of snow and ice and snow capped mountains instead.

So instead of simply having to choose between a flights lore or regional appeals for festivals only I propose we get apparel sets from each flights region so that festivals won’t be the only source of flight based apparel which as we saw from plague this year won’t please everyone.
While instead of up and upsetting a portion of each flight each festival why not keep everyone happy with some more freely available flight based apparel rather than waiting all year for a single piece. Instead of choosing between angering people who say don’t like their flights lore but only the aesthetics or angering those who like the lore but not the aesthetics why not just make it all more accessible.
But if I had to choose I would ask staff to keep the lore based apparel to festivals but freely give us regional aesthetic apparel for each flight outside of festivals so everyone can enjoy thei flight they way they want to. This can also be said for scenes.

I thought, at first, this was going to be for apparel that was only available to certain flights :P
Anyway, I support this, because, yeah, I am not in water for salt water and beaches, but the pretty colors and because I do like freshwater and lakes and quarries.
I do wish we had more flight friendly apparel outside festivals, and more regional based apparel would be good as well.
I also think it would be good to expand past just regional at times and go for apparel that is based simply upon the aesthetic of the flight (for example, as I said, I am in water because I like blue and freshwater areas, but water flight seems mostly salt water focused. So, go with 'water' aesthetic and give players more fresh water themed apparel.
Basically, just expand the apparel we get, and honestly, please expand the lore and aesthetics of the flights themselves to encompass more variety. I do think it would be better to release the 'expanded aesthetic' version as regular apparel, because if it is released as flight apparel, we run the risk of RoR 2.0 for people who *want* the flight aesthetic to be a certain way.

Definitely this. More variety and more aesthetics that can be expanded on. Idk but I’d love lakes and rivers water stuff we aren’t required to have coral reefs and oceans are we? Water is well not just oceans but lakes, rivers, rain even. And fire heck not everything has to be volcanos and lava and welders what about camp fires? Warm cooking, baking, glass blowing, bonfires on a beach or something Volcanic soil for winemaking even, and bathhouses from hot springs. Nature isn’t just forests its jungles and flowers and animals with berry picking and growing fruits or crops.
We need more variety that festivals alone can’t give us.

I love you staff and thank you so much for the eye update 2.0! I cannot thank you enough for this!
Support, I'm not a huge fan of the slow drip of flight apparel, especially when sometimes I just want normal bits of stuff related to specific flights and nothing super crazy like we usually get. I'd love for general apparel sets themed around the elements/colors/aesthetics/lore. As someone in shadow, dark purples and blacks are pretty common color schemes in the random apparel that's put out, but for like... Arcane, most of the pink is saved for cutesy things or has a secondary color that doesnt fit with other apparel specifically for Arcane.
This would be nice even just for recolors or apparel that is mostly the same lines with small differences. I know the latter is typically what they do for the yearly apparel theme like the banners, halos, etc. But idk... it just feels like there's so much potential and we're only getting one theme a year.

yes!! also consider: apparel recolors being centered on "flight colors"

Yeah I agree with this. Even though I've never actually followed any flight's aesthetic while there (if you visit my clan you'll see what I mean XD) and I don't do flight reps, I still would like some flight-themed apparel outside of fests and don't understand why that's not already a thing. I would love, for example, cozy blankets and soft bathrobes for Ice, more bone apparel for Plague that isn't also out of Robin Hood, more gemstone apparel for Earth (like the Cascades but different). I'd also like more general apparel based on flight colors.
(While I'm here, I'm also really tired of Fire being blackened/charred/smoked everything, like that's fine in moderation but it would be nice to see some apparel for Fire that ISN'T that - the kilt was more of a one-off. IDK what happened to things like torches.)

I agree that the current pace of Flight -themed apparel release is really slow. We get only one piece of apparel per Flight per year, and maybe a recolor of it too. I can't be the only one who has been waiting for specific kind of apparel (mertails) for years and get disappointed every time a festival comes and goes by.
I'd love simple flight -themed apparel sets and recolors. You could still reserve the more festive apparel designs for the Flight holidays.

I’d love to see more bone themed apparel, like bone jewellry, lague dragons like to dress up too no doubt
