If you really can add insignias then this is complete BS. I just crafted armor for my warrior a week ago. Bad move by Anet. If you are gonna allow it on obsidian armor then at least make the change retroactive.

If it is that then allow all Tyrian and Cantha armors to change, only if they own nightfall.

IMHO all FoW and 15k sets everywhere should be updated to support Insignias

Agree. I would love to change out some of the stats on my existing fow for other characters but guess I can't (yet...anet likes to change things on whim, see material storage for canthans only as a recent example)

I love my 15k pyro, have still never found another male ele armor that I liked in comparison, but would like to be able to use some different stats for it now.

Speaking of the material storage, that's actually exactly what I expect to happen with the armor; Only NF armor accepts insignias UNTIL the next chapter is released, then they change all of the armor over to the insignia system.

In other words, use insignia armor as a selling point until it doesn't matter anymore, then give it to everyone, making everyone happy... just like the expanded storage.

agreed... update all fow to be coherent.. fyi, there are currently 3 generations of fow

1st generation: armor name being without the word 'obsidian' ie. just 'gladiators hauberk'

2nd generation: armor name with the word 'obsidian' in it.

3rd generation: armor name with the word 'obsidian' and the armor being able to be insignia'ed

not ranting about incoherence, but fow owners need a word of assurance watsoever that fows will be made universal with updates... if not, its just too much a risk to spend 2 mill on a set of armor that might be obsolete or incoherent with the current sets in future updates...

rant: on a personal note, I'm pretty peezed off coz I've updated my fow set and parts of it due to updates to globalized armor effects and additions of fow pieces previously unavailable and now... new fow armors insciptable.. (spent almost.. hmm 3-4 mill on replacing/renewing fow for 1 char) i think i'm done keeping my fow up to date... its just too much of a hassle.

anet needs to say something.. c'mon

Have to wait till next Frog talk, then someone can ask.

In the meantime, as has already been said, more then likely they will allow older armors to be insignia'ed at a later date. Afterall A.net does need to keep selling copies of Nightfall to be profitable.

I don't blame them, in the meantime those of us who have FoW will have to make do.

From that, I'd presume its possible to change the existing armours to allow insignias. Probably a colossal task but possible.

Yes, and it took like 9 weeks for them to do that.

Being able to insigna my armor would make my day... unfortunatly, Radiant Insignias would likely jump to 30k or MORE, because everyone wants their mana... Is it so much to ask to be able to swap my FoW boots out with a bloodstained insignia without buying a new set

Here's proof:

Wat!!?? I don't have enough money to afford another set...can't they just make my enchanter set accept insignias??

Cybah · Nov 13, 2006, 10:15 PM // 22:15

i'm pissed off too xD

lets all hope they'll change this until next chapter or sooner.
