just killed shiro.. and sadly this was a bad rumor.. no armor sets for dervs/paras in factions..

Noel Hope · Apr 04, 2008, 06:43 PM // 18:43

Would I like more? Sure, why not? More variety would be nice. I would especially like to see more sets for newer classes (Derv, for instance).

Do we need more? Not really, no

Will we get more? No, I truly doubt we will get more armor anytime soon.

XBC · Apr 04, 2008, 06:44 PM // 18:44

All I really do is farm, buy armour(as, to me, most weapons and shields look horrible), and do some low-end PvP. Thus, I would like new armour sets, but would also love armour storage.

Seeing you are a W/Mo, you have choice of 35 different armors.

And that are just the complete sets, as soon as you start to mix them you can get 1000+ variants, not to mention you can also dye them differently.

uhh oh wow, 35 armor sets, spread over millions of people? ~~

I'd like to see more armor sets, but to me, the problem with variation of character appearance in GW lies more in the character creation system not having enough depth.

Well not all those millions have a warrior... but if you want to do that math...

35 armor sets + the ability to mix and match 5 armor pieces from different sets = 52.52 million combinations
+ dye combinations = 1.26 x 10^11 possible combos

Of course, the number of people wearing black primeval armor is like 1 out of every 5 warriors (like when Factions was new and EVERYBODY had 15k Kurzicks). Don't blame the masses for being unoriginal.

Part of the problem with mixing sets is the way armor pieces are designed as well as the way dyes can be applied. Now if armor parts could be applied without the numerous visual glitches that accompany them when used as mixed parts, we might see more mixed sets. That and inherent non-dyable areas as well as differences in dye application between sets make the practical number of combinations considerably less. Then there's simply some parts that just dont work well together visually to begin with. Still, your point is taken.

I'd love to see a fully developed character creation system for GW2. There are numerous examples in other MMOs so I wont cite any, but things that might be treated would be character proportion, not just height, full range color picker for hair and eyes and sliders for skin tones, more hair styles, face proportioning, etc.

If you then add to that armor parts being added to a character in possibly two parts where now one exists, you might be able to get around problems like the knee joints, bonelace stopping at an awkward spot when used with another armor part etc. May not be possible, but the numerous glitches in armor always suprised me.

Finally, a new dye system, so you could achieve the same color between various armor sets. Possibly armor has two dyable areas, not one. It comes pre-dyed, but you can change both color areas on a part, for more variety and no residual conflicting neon green that you cant change. Also, dye application should render on a base medium-light grey, so we can get the same color across multiple sets.

Would go a long way towards allowing a lot more variety and removing the cloning phenomenon, though you'd still see some from time to time.

since you are a warrior/monk ardunnia said try one of these combos =) anyways dropped armor from mobs pretty much gay (like runescape)

And it's not like you are going to encounter every one of them...

does anyone wish guildwars had more armor sets/pieces?

or even mob dropped armor pieces?

I know that GW is not WoW but I think wearable dropped armor pieces would be cool.

Ya in WoW you go into a town and not look exactly like everyone else. They need to add more armor so that when you walk into town you don't see your twin.

Chrono Re delle Ere · Apr 16, 2008, 09:11 PM // 21:11

More same looking sets? Naaah....

just go and try to mix something....but be aware that there is a "Ugly Armor Mix"

the focus of the game is not about bling

MsMassacre · Apr 16, 2008, 11:47 PM // 23:47

I only wish that every second I'm playing. Lack of new armor options for me is the biggest problem about GW no longer getting expansions.

Paragons and dervs only having 8 or 9 distinct armor options (not counting reskins) is in my book, the biggest problem with those two classes.

If I could have any kind of expansion at all, it would be an armor pack, with 4 totally new suits for each class. You know, kinda like what we were promised with EOTN before we found out they were mostly reskins.

um what? links plz....

i would love to see new armors for the kurzicks and luxons for the para and derv. even if they were hero armor reskins.

Powerful White Man · Apr 16, 2008, 11:55 PM // 23:55

No. I don't even like the majority of the armor we have now, what makes you think the same designers, making new sets, would be anything more than a let down?

sterbenx2 · Apr 17, 2008, 12:13 AM // 00:13

some proph armor for Rits, Sins, Dervs, Paras, and Factions armor for Dervs and Paras would be nice. I don't understand why they've made GW for forward compatible when everything nowadays is backwards compatible.. hmmm. Maybe some effing PANTS for those two! Maybe then I'd actually use my Derv, I love the class but the armor is horrible... and Paras are even worse.

Courage! · Apr 17, 2008, 06:19 AM // 06:19

i would love more armor sets not enough like there should be some armor scatterd around all games like a scavenger hunt for armor but there leet and still cost like 1mil a piece if that happnd i would be happy

kobey · Apr 17, 2008, 06:29 AM // 06:29

If we do get more armor sets, can we also get more storage/inventory space or an armor bag/wardrobe to go along with it?

I merch my armors usually to save space when I get better armors. Its such a waste
