The Momentum Master Armor - Bring it to Y3! (Also Circuit Keeper)

So SRL is returning, I know I am not the only one who is irrationally excited about this. But this new event does feature some updates to how the event works. Now the new Armor set does make bringing back the old armor (the Crash suit, the Bright Laurel suit, and the Jade Rabbit suit) not necessary as the new suit can switch between the models (and likely color schemes) of the old ones via ornaments. But two special suits are excluded from this: The Circuit Keeper and The Momentum Master. Circuit Keeper; as we all can admit, is fairly ugly. It basically turns you in to an abused SRL Crash Test Dummy's design (anyone else remember "Buster" the crash test dummy from Mythbusters? its that color). But that was it, it wasn't effected by shaders so how about we just make it a shader? Its model was very similar to Jade Rabbit and with the color swap it could keep pretty similar. So that is that out of the way. Now for the Momentum Master, this armor is a different beast. It was the ultimate reward from last year's record book (which was 10$ and full of challenges). Getting this armor was very difficult as you had to not only pay for that microtransaction but you also had to do all the challenges during the one SRL event we got. The armor itself is not affected by shaders and has a unique model (with blinking lights when you wore the whole set with a class item) but there are three issues with this armor that we need to address and they are as follows: 1. It was a limited-time item. -Yes, it was completely limited time and not too many players have it but the ones who did deserve to be able to use the armor again. How about anyone who bought the book last year gets new Y3 versions of the armor? Then make the armor possible to get from another source for people who didn't maybe for 50 wins? 200 races? I dunno (See: Khvostov). 2. It had no required Class (other than the helmet) -This is the biggest issue to bringing it up, the obvious answer would be "Replace whatever piece you have with a class locked one" but choosing the class automatically would be a nightmare. At the moment you can reclaim any pieces from Amanda Holiday for free so how about just move it to the vendor and give us class specific options ("Requires Warlock/Titan/Hunter Class") when selecting. 3. It had no light level (other than the helmet) -Oh boy, I admit that if I could have infused it I would never have taken the armor off, but that was the reality, not only could the armor not be infused, it had no light whatsoever (same as the Masks from FoTL) but as I said in problem #2 moving the armor to a vendor and allowing us to take out the 3-light versions (like how Chroma armor and picking up the helmet from Amanda already is) we could easily make the armor return, maybe even allow shaders? I mean, the set comes with a shader (Momentum's Pride) that does nothing as the armor won't take it. So thanks for reading everyone, see you on the track! -Jtoomer 42, Momentum Master
