/signed for Anet firing those lame 'artists' that did those horrible reskins.

They definately weren't the ones who worked on armors in previous GW campagins, and haven't done the models they tried to reskin - that's why about ~80% armors in GW:EN look like home-made amateur texmods...

this perfectly sums it up:

FOR ALL THOSE PEOPLE DEFENDING ANET READ
why do you defend them it seems like you think their normal people with other jobs and are working on GW in their spare time(the argument that its hard or takes time or whatever to defend them is just plain dumb)
IT DOES NOT MATTER IF IT IS HARD THEIR GETTING PAID FOR THIS ITS THEIR JOBS PAYCHECK HOWEVER YOU WANT TO PUT IT THEIR (GETTIN PAID TO MAKE NEW CONTENT WHICH MEANS NO HALF ASSING ALLOWD)
I would understand if they were doing this on side time as a hobby but their not.

Their is a difference from hobby gameing like modding and what not but when your getting paid to release new content than it better be new if it is not than i will not pay you thats how the world works.

You dont pay a someone to remoddle your kitchen if all they do is move your table do you???????????????
dont think i put enough ????? DONT TRY TO DEFEND THEM ANY MORE ANET PAYS PEOPLE FOR THAT AS WELL

I want this thread to stay alive please. A-net needs to keep hearing how much they screwed up. Also an interview i read a while back said new "sexy dances" and this at ign

"New lighting and AA effects have been built into the game, and it still looks quite pretty, in large part thanks to always impressive art direction. The game will have 40 new armor sets, including an Elementalist set with flaming gloves and a fearsome Assassin set adorned with spikes."

http://pc.ign.com/articles/804/804845p1.html

Did they scrap the new armor and decide to reskin everything? There is no stand alone piece for flaming gloves, nor a ele armor with flaming gloves.

Male Warrior Dwarven armour has got to be the UGLIEST thing in the world.

Hahaha I actually smirked to that.

You dont need it unless you want it? Better than nothing? What kind of fanboi service is this? 40 NEW armor sets were advertised...I think we got 3. The rest...blah reskins and blah EXACTLY THE SAME AS THE ORIGINAL.

Since some of the GWEN reskins look better than the originals, I'd ask to remodel the originals, or make these GWEN armors available as the originals, and remodel the EOTN armors.

The flaming gloves are probably the magma ones that you can get in exchange of 250 destroyer cores (if I remember correctly)

I really doubt there gonna be any change in the armor design.
It's obvious the whole creative team is working on GW² now (after all they've armors to do for 5 different races instead of 1 ).

Unless * evil grin * it's a master plan like this one :

1/ Release GW:EN with cheap reskinned armors

2/ Make statement that those armors are fine and final as you're busy with GW².

3/ 8-9 months after add "Guild Wars : Armor Pack" to Online Store
"Get exclusive new armors for you characters at [insert name of a mysterious grotto added to game 2 weeks before GW:AP press release] for just $14.95 !
[insert a tiny bit of lore here]
[insert Pack description here]

If that happens I'm deleting all characters including all gold and inventory, uninstalling and selling the game(s) to someone. I'll move on to something else.

I have been playing GW since the beta a couple years ago, and was VERY impressed by GW back then. I still remember how happy and exciting everyone was when creating PUG's for the rotscale mission, and how good it felt when we defeated him. Everything about that game back then was awesome!

I don't know what happened, maybe people left or lost talent, but GW:EN is a SERIOUS let-down and disappointment. It's obvious that the only people that like it are the extreme fanboys.

I TOTALLY hate how UGLY and plain the weapons look, specially the end game (green item) weapons... If those are the end-game weapons, they should have put some nice skins on them to make them worth carrying and to show off etc. I would much rather carry other nice looking weapons than those end game pos's.....I hate almost everything about GW:EN, the grind required to talk to NPC's, having to talk to NPC's to begin the grind (I noticed how many people forgot to talk to the NPC's after trying to grind during quests etc, having to switch titles back and forth, LONG ANNOYING CONFUSING quests that are EASILY distracted and sidetracked...just to name a few disasters......I seriously hope GW2 is not like this or else I'll look for another game to spend my free time with...an actual enjoyable game, GW:EN seems more like hard boring work than fun....

Yawgmoth · Sep 05, 2007, 06:40 AM // 06:40

For some reason they went Cheap-Way on a couple things in GW:EN and the armors are by far the most visible example. There's NOTHING else in any GW release that stands out that much from the quality standards as those miserable reskinned armors...

GW:EN has top quality level design, lots of new great models and skins of mobs, npcs, items, heroes with their new armors... the artists did a great job and exceeded what previous campagins offered. But who did the armors? Certainly not the real artists that did all of the other awesome stuff.

Remember this site? :: http://s183.photobucket.com/albums/x...ens/?start=all
The infamous armors screens from a private server, which look so bad that nobody believed they're real. And now we know they're 100% real, looking like an amateur texmod, crappier than anything else in GW but we just bought them as "new"!

Anet! We are not blind! Do not ever do such lame and cheap tricks on us.

Talonz · Sep 05, 2007, 07:02 AM // 07:02

I detest almost all the Dervish armor. Was hoping for something at LEAST as nice as Elite Sunspear of Vabbian Dervish armor. Nothing in GWEN even came close.

Are you only playing for armour? Is that all you people wanted from this game? Sure, the end game weapons are reskins too but there are loads and loads of new skins to be foud elsewhere, enough to keep me happy on that front certainly. I think the stand-alone pieces are awesome though, if that counts for anything and the scenery's the best it's ever been.

As for the monsters looking the same... you were expecting something else? It's not like that's different from what we've had already and again, I'm fine with that because in GWEN, the monsters are more of a challenge, their AI has improved and no matter what they look like, the gameplay is better.

Dungeons are awesome. In previous campaigns, people have flocked (and still do in most cases) to the elite dungeon-like areas (FoW/UW/Sorrow's/Urgoz/The Deep/DoA) and so Anet gives us 18 dungeons, all with different difficulty levels and I'm having great fun exploring them. I hope these carry over some way into GW2.

For me, the scenery and gameplay pros outweigh the con of not having new armour.

Or perhaps play the game while looking good?

Gattocheese · Sep 05, 2007, 07:58 AM // 07:58

You forget scenary and gameplay are nice, but content is what makes a game. You can have the most beautiful, nice looking game in the world that handles good, but if it lacks content, its gonna start sucking really fast. Armor has always been a way to add content or improve upon yourself, as well as weapons and other things. Now that they have stripped away a main aspect in many peoples eyes (as well as mine), what do we do in gwen? We beat the game, the dungeons, then what? Grind a title for a crappy reskin, hell no. How do they justify people playing this for the next year and a half?
