I don't understand the point to this comment.  Designers change things and update through an IC, that's...what an IC is.  Changing names and manus before an item goes into GB is exactly what should happen.  Or what, are designers just supposed to pick one thing and never change if the world around them does? 

This just seems rude and uncalled for.  Why not offer constructive feedback, or just just not buy the set?  EZ

I for one welcome our new All-Father, and am excited for the GB.

no need to take a joke so serious. I really should add a "JK" at the end of a joke or a " Disclaimer this is a joke and is not supposed to be taken serious"
Made a small joke since the designer changed the manufacturer a lot and I get a white knight protecting his "All-Father".

Oh... and a small info about me. Just because I made a joke about the many manu changes doesnt mean that I dont like the set from the designer and that I wont be getting one.

As for "Why not offer constructive feedback". have you been seen other Geekhacks replies on IC's?
Most of the time its just a combination of "I like it", "GLWIC", "I want this", "please add this" or straight up hostility between 2 fractions, where one defends the designer while the other tries to blame the designer and yet I have to see you bash on those ppl. I rarely see constructive feedback in the replies.

I'm not here the defend the designer but I did not think your comment was a joke at all. As a designer that has had to change manufacturer for a set, this is one of the first things that pop in your mind if you plan on switching "Oh ****, I'm going to get comments about the change... I hope people will understand". Things happen during an IC and discussion with the manufacturer, things you could not have imagined before starting to talk with them, but a lot of manufacturers want ICs before really discussing a product, so this cannot be avoided. If you make a comment like that, yes, add "I'm only joking of course" or something like that or don't be surprised if people understand the opposite of what you wanted to say.

I see "tripleshot" listed as possibly used with the new manu but see no keys with 3 colors? Does the triple shotting process have any other benefits besides 3 colors? Or am I blind?

I really should mark jokes as a joke. Since I cant convey facial expressions and tone on the internet, ppl wont be understanding jokes and will take it serious most of the time.

LMFAOO what if it was KEK 3 year lead time

[Mr Chrome]

Does this mean you’re gonna change the renders to biip/PBTfans legends? Interested to see if the runes would look good with them, since they have a kinda cartoony vibe.

Hi, I really like this set but the lack of a french (ISO-FR) kit is a deal breaker.
Is it too late to add another kit ?

[Ghost of Olympus]

Any updates on this set? I honestly think it looks goregous and should be made. I really love the colors.

[HugoChowsky]

Since most PBTFans sets use MacOS mods, will you be sticking with text only mods?

[salgiza]

Ok, I know I'm late to the party, but someone mentioned to me this thread and... why is there a "Ñ" key in R4?
I would certainly love it if you could include a South or ISO-ES kit but, if not, users that use a Frankenstein layout with an "Ñ", use that key in the R3 row.

Quick disclaimer: this isnt a weeb set to some peoples very BASED opinions lo

Hi I'm pasta and this is my first ever set PBTfans Odin! My bases of this set is on the idea of the dead going back and reuniting with the god himself, Odin, in preparation of Ragnarok. I went with a black, white, and cyan set color way to represent the nothingness of the dead, and the white and cyan showing the light at the end where they will reunite with their fallen brothers and allies to serve their god once more. This set will be made with doubleshot/tripleshot PBT.

Guesss whatttt we got a collab with Asero Foundry for a metal artisan and it is looking beautiful, the interest thing has been added to the form is if you would fill it out it would mean a lot

So right now I have some deskmat protos coming in and I must say they look mighty fine, and this is all thanks to Zionstudios

I've come to the conclusion that there will be two base kits
one with subs being the dark Ragnarok alt base kit
and one light without subs being the base kits

September 4th, 2021
Hey hey hey hey so guess what you guys asked for it so there are now runic sub-legends on the base kit I know in the render it is a little hard to see dw I will be working on making those a little larger.

August 30th, 2021
Another Quick update some improvements have been made to the 40s kit those will get rendered and labeled as soon as possible. I have Some Collabs that I'm working on which will include a metal artisan which I am hopping can be over 1u. I will get deskmat renders out soon so keep an eye out for that!

August 17th,
les go we got that deskmat design


Update August 5th, 2021:
I updated renders so they should be much better now. I have been looking at feedback and I am currently considering putting the sub-legends in the base kit. I also have made some kitting changes as follows:

Ragnarok alt:
Added 7u spacebar
Added uk terminal

Nordeuk:
removed top 3 keys because they are included in base kit

Spacebars:
added two 3u alpha spacebars
added one 1u alpha spacebar
removed 7u spacebar
