Can we take a minute to talk about how incredibly good the weapon and armor designs are?

The biggest complaint I had of World was that so many of the weapons looked kind of generic, but some of the designs of these armor and weapons sets have me absolutely drooling. I have been pushed towards weapons that I don't normally use just because of how damn cool they look.

There are a lot of posts I see that are more negative, and I get that there are some genuine criticisms, but good lord I am absolutely fawning over the weapon and armor designs in this game. These devs cooked with this one.
