Wyvern Armor: What's the problem? - Guild Wars Forums

NinjaKai · Mar 21, 2006, 11:40 PM // 23:40

For some reason people don't seem to like the wyvern armor. My main question is. Why do people not like it?

mathijn · Mar 21, 2006, 11:42 PM // 23:42

i think because it dont look very nice(my opinion)

Goats17 · Mar 21, 2006, 11:44 PM // 23:44

I love it, it looks cool, and is cheaper than the other stuff, the thing rmains though.....I like the dmg reduction of Knights better. and yes, I know it doesn't stack.

I suppose this is where the saying "To each his own." Comes in.

well be for i fot my FoW set for my W/mo i thought about that set but looks killed it for me i used a dragon set dyed black with a 15k ascalon helm dyed black and the look was there for me ^_^ so i would say the problem is the look and the fact that the helm makes you look like a 1980's wwf star

Goats17 · Mar 22, 2006, 01:17 AM // 01:17

Im thinking of dumping my Knights and going 8k Wyvern. I'm not saving for the 'status' of having a 15k set.

gordohand · Mar 22, 2006, 01:24 AM // 01:24

whats the 8k set (i thought it was 1.5k at droks and 15k at grotto)

Savio · Mar 22, 2006, 01:30 AM // 01:30

1.5k * 5 pieces = 7.5k is what he means, I guess.

Goats17 · Mar 22, 2006, 01:37 AM // 01:37

actually, i thinks its about 8k a piece at droks, I could be wrong. (actually, I think I am) but I do mean droks armor.

R A C · Mar 22, 2006, 04:53 AM // 04:53

I'm pretty sure armor at droks is 1.5k a piece. I'm also pretty sure that "8k armor" stands for either the necro's scars or the monk's tats crafted at 15k armor crafters since they cost less.

Savio · Mar 22, 2006, 04:58 AM // 04:58

Regular Drok's armor is 1.5k a piece. Drok's tattoos for Monks and scars for Necros are 800g a piece.

Regular Granite Citadel/Marhan's Grotto armor is 15k a piece. Tats and scars are 8k.

Haggard · Mar 22, 2006, 07:55 AM // 07:55

and wyvern could hardly be called 8k a piece because of the materials (iron and scales ftw)

Cherno · Mar 22, 2006, 01:25 PM // 13:25

I think most of the wyvern looks cool...except for the helm. It looks like someone skinned your face and it is showing through all the muscle and blood underneath. Some people don't like the big pig face on the chest plate either.

quickmonty · Mar 22, 2006, 01:27 PM // 13:27

In my opinion ..... first concern is performance, second is appearance.

The helmet never dyes the same as the rest of the armor, either. I think it's because the base colors are different. It's subtle, but noticible anyway.

Of course, my video card sucks, so that might also be the reason.

Regardless, I've never regretted my decision to get Wyvern Armor. I'm not a hardcore player and I liked the bonus and the way it looked. End of story.

(Yes, I do switch helmets depending on my build.

Mournblade · Mar 22, 2006, 02:45 PM // 14:45

I think it looks like someone chased you down and stripped all of your skin off. Bleh! =)

pappayaponta · Mar 22, 2006, 02:54 PM // 14:54

In my oppinion PERFORMANCE comes before how good it is.
