Does armor look like the Icons?

After seeing the new season update coming out, and being kind of bored with PoE 2, I kind of want to try this game out.

Though, I'd rather not look like a peasant whenever I get new, and better gear, that won't change the appearance of my character(s).

I'm all for the Cosmetic Packs in this game, but PoE 1, and PoE 2 without forking out hundreds of dollars, you basically look just as bad as when you first created your character.

So does armor actually make your character look neat, without having to drop $70?

Gear does change appearance but not every piece has a unique model currently. Transmog is a thing that is coming but not with this season.

Is it better than PoE's gear appearance change, where it's not just scrap metal your character wears for literally every piece of armor you pickup?

Yes, ingame armor is actually better then most MTX pre S2 (S2 packs armor sets looks nice tbh). And yes, appearance is gradually getting better with levels. The only kinda weak point is rogue, her armor is kinda meh at any level, but it's quite subjective.

Hard to say broadly as we are still missing all of the item models.

PoE2 bad and everything but... you definitely look pretty awesome in all the different kinds of gears available. You do not, objectively, "basically look just as bad as when you first created your character".

GTFO with that exaggerated BS. But PoE2 bad.

Ah thanks. Good enough for me. I'm sold I guess.
