When will there be an armour upgrade for the pre-crafted armours?

I for one have the pre-Judges chestpiece, which gives +4 energy.

The new Judges gives +5 energy.

When will there be an armour change

The only upgrades now are runes, they may in the future change that. I personaly think armor an shield upgades woul dbe fun.

Im also pissed they didnt update existing armors, now my platemail, dragons, and ascalon armors are all inferior to faction versions.

No one really knows when.

For the other posters - Anet changed the stats on old armors in an update. They said there will be a free way to upgrade your existing armor to the new stats - so yes there will be an upgrade path outside of runes (but only for old armors with incorrect stats), nor will you old 15k armors always be useless. I want my armor update also, but it's not *that* big a deal.

Thier ETA was "soon" - soon has meant "promised from the beginning and still not here" to "in a few days". Been a few days already, so longer than that. I would guess as soon as who ever is coding that particular section is done and it gets tested - which is hopefully in the next few weeks.

There's going to be a free upgrade NPC who'll transfer all your platemails and sunderings etc to the new stats.

And Hired Blade, we're talking about improving old armour stats to the new ones, not sticking fortitude on shields.

From the source of all knowledge in the this thread, the game updates page on guildwars.com (good idea to maybe check the thing out):

Warrior:

* Knight's armor: now provides +20 armor vs. physical damage (instead of +10).
* Knight's Helm: fixed so that it now provides +1 to Strength.
* Dragon armor: now provides 90 base armor +10 armor vs. physical damage.
* Platemail armor: same as Dragon.
