sadwarrior, your travels will teach you new lessons and you will persevere without that extra energy. I have great faith in you.

Everyone else is talking about the original poster like it is a unique set of circumstances.

... Both my sets of 55 armour, for my monk and necro... have both been nixed. They will cost considerably more than the original armour investment alone to fix back up again.... and it is NOT even remotely appreciated.... Not least because I barely have enough money left to even do such a thing.... considering where the price of the radiant insignias is going.

THIS is just the hair that broke the camel's back for me.
Why the sweet mother of fvck did A-Net have to go and change all the armour? The old system was just fine! FINE! It was the weapons that needed fixing.... but OOOoohh no.... They had to go and fvck over everyone by r4ping all the lower-level armour and forcing people to pay through the nose for radiant insignias for any and all energy armour.

I don't understand why everyone else was so positive about it. This is absolutely ridiculous...

Radiant Insignias and all other Insignias should have a one single price, they shouldn't vary depending on the market, because they will never go down, since people have Heroes to feed (which is why providing +energy to my heroes cost me a fortune)

And good post sadwarrior, I shun all whom that have negative remarks on your misery, my friend.

Someone give him 10k so he can calm down please. Thats the only way he will stop complaining about stupid things like "stole energy mods from my warrior"
Seriously, move on man. Consider this a test to your skills

Was I the only one who saw that he was a MS/bonetti's defense warrior?

Your problem has absolutely nothing to do with the armor and everything to do with your build.

Orphan Anthem · May 26, 2007, 05:38 PM // 17:38

it sucks that you'll need to spend 1.3 more gold per armor piece inorder to get the armor you want, but them is the break, one day you'll look back on that 1.5k armor piece that you worked so hard on and go GOD i was such a noob back then

QFT. This can't be stated enough - it's bad enough that they removed the inherent bonus on EXISTING items, forcing us to upgrade them with an insignia...

But even worse, THEY CAN'T EVEN BE UPGRADED.

Consider that monks often switch between 4 different headgear types. That's 4 infusion quests, 4 dyes, 4 runes that need to be replaced. ABSOLUTELY NOT HAPPENING.

The solution is so simple - revert EXISTING collector headgear to their previous inherent stats.

Because God forbid it to farmers to spend money...

I liked this update, I can finally get my 15k Ascalon helm for axe, I'm even considering getting some 15k proph armor now.

Besides, radiant insignias drop ingame, just fight some mobs and you'll get them eventually

Radiuju · May 26, 2007, 06:01 PM // 18:01

Very fun post to read but I am wondering why your bonuses are gone and my 15k Druids became Radiant Elite ~.~ instead of dissapearing.

Nevermind, a post informed me of the max armor deal.

Consider getting into lore ;p

Of course, I forgive them because they are right.

Still, there is no denying that my performance, given my preferred techniques, has suffered following the recent changes in the stars. However there is naught to do but to forge on ahead, fighting back manly tears, and face death with the brave acceptance of a condemned man (who knows he will shortly be resurrected).

I shall wear my death penalty with pride! As should you, my brave brave friends!

I'm sorry to hear that you are having performance problems.

And it wasn't Anet that stole your armor bonuses. Dingo's stole your armor!

Seriously, if your performance problems continue, I'd be willing to help you out, so to speak. Contact me via private message and I'll see what I've got laying around that you could use. My heroes keep taking all of the good items, but I can get one or two back from them whilst they're sleeping.

I feel sorry for everyone so lacking in imagination and whimsy that they cannot enjoy the original post for its imaginative flavor and simply go about business as usual, bashing people for not following "the rules".

GreatLich · May 26, 2007, 07:26 PM // 19:26

I must concur, the op was original in writing , although I think he layed it on a tad thick ( but everybody's a critic, right).

But, seriously... You don't need those sparkly armour bonuses anyway. I finished Factions with my Warrior in basic Canthan Armour, my mesmer never bothered to get anything but desert-collector's and she finished both Prophecies and Nightfall wearing it.
It's no fun that something got taken from you, but the reasons why this had to be have been repeated over and over by now.
With all due respect: Deal.

Skawtt · May 26, 2007, 08:24 PM // 20:24

Since Dingo's stole your armor hit me up ingame I can float a few plat your way for a new set of armor and insignias. ( Just PM me your IGN so I know its you and not some leech looking for a free handout)

Because maybe they thought the post was stupid and melodramatic to the point of being just annoying?

That is how I feel robed with my Monks aesthetics's armour being 57AL.I feel for the OP but I wouldn't use 25 energy spells.What were you using Meteor Showers vs Hydra?That might be one way of farming them using a staff.

Perfectly alright for those who have tons of Ecto stashed away in storage.
I only just started the farming stuff recently.... and it was to fund my normal gaming, which alone just couldn't fund itself. I was only just recently starting to drag myself out of poverty.... and now I've had to go and spend 8k (I was lucky it wasn't more) re-fixing insignias on what was originally about 1k's worth of al15 energy armour. I'm going to have to do the same to my Necro too... but not until I've refarmed the cash I lost fixing my monk's armour (and since I don't farm the underworld and don't sell to players as a rule of thumb, this whole deal is going to take me a LONG while).

You forget... not everyone is rich. It is one thing to not have the armour and realise you'd need to spend more if you wanted it. But it is another entirely when it has already been bought and then is taken away without any sort of compensation.

It is basically as though A-Net stepped into my account and ripped away 20k ... and as stated, I'm not a rich guy.
Plus some of my guildies have commented that it has done something to heroes too... which I'm very curious about. I'm about to check now.

Fixed. Really, a warrior shouldn't be so heavily reliant on energy that you need radiant insignia. The fact that he said he is trying to play his warrior has a heavily armoured elementalist proves the above.
