I didn't see it, but did it say there that you can't use multiple of the same? (like resist)
However, much as I want to be excited, it's kind of frustrating to realize that I'll now have to pay 400 credits just to have customized armour, while getting no mechanical benefit other then having more room to put other enhancements in. Which would be great if I had the credits for that, but really I just want the option to have custom armour again, and 350 credits feels pretty hefty for something just aesthetic.
Which is all to say, I'm glad this is here, and frankly it looks like a pretty cool system (though every class having SoA effects is something that scares me a bit, I admit), but I really wish that the aesthetics were a little more separately purchasable then having to come with the extra slot.

It really does feel like pairing a functionality that a lot of people will want (custom armour) with one that you can't use without a large investment (a second slot) is pretty unnecessary. I can't think of a reason for it to be like that except to encourage more people to buy a more expensive item.
Next we need to revamp artefact weapons to use the same system, with the level 1-3 stat bonuses just being one (or three) of the addon options. It's not fair that armoursmiths get a new feature to play with and profit from but weaponsmiths don't have anything.

I'll keep my SoA then and not trade it in for the armour.
And you won't understand the cause of your grief...
