also this really should be in Sardelac Sanitarium

Edit: Wow now that I think of it, it would be insane if obsidian was 1000000k armor, 15k armors that much gold per piece, can you imagine paying 5million gold in pure gold (one piece at a time, and only with a full storage) AND adding all the ectos and shards :O that would be crazy. I sure am glad that the FoW armors not 1million k lol

By a million k, I mean if you include how much it would be to buy the ectos and shards.....

First I have factions and I play it a LOT more tahn prophecies (and from some of lawnmowers other posts, it seems like he does too), so that doesn't really count.

Second, it isn't really a lack of armor designs, but more like a lack of armors that are priced in between the 15k and obsidian armor.

All the rich would look like clones, and all the poor would be scrounging just to get a set of Gladiator's from Droknar's. No thanks.

If you haven't noticed, that already happens. There are the people that only have 1.5k(like me) and the people that have the 15k and the obsidian (the people I wish I was as rich as...)

There is no need for a bazillion armor types, especially since, when you consider all currently-existing armors, as well as every single dye combination, we already have a bazillion.

Plus, I'm one of those people who can't afford FoW armor (richest I've ever been is 80k), and I need not go even crazier over armor (15k is good enough for me).

No, just about every single post here tells you the downside of your idea.

Dont take it personally, you didnt make any armor skins yourself or anything- we arent dissing you, we are dissing your idea.

It WILL affect him, it will affect THE ENTIRE ECONOMY. 100k is the number that bot-farmers and ebayers use. You arent a bot farmer or an Ebayer, ARE you?

Amok Affinity · Sep 10, 2006, 07:56 PM // 19:56

not a game breaker, but if effort's to be put forth i'd prefer it be in any area other than aesthetics...

also, if some twelve year-olds are getting all ADHD because they've had the same uber ascended 50k blah blah whatever armor for too long, tell 'em to screw off and play WoW some... plenty of crap to grind for there, i hear.

ectospasm · Sep 10, 2006, 08:04 PM // 20:04

i would never spend 30, 60, or 100k per peice on a paragon or dervish armor. and i would never buy fow armor cause its rediculously expensive looks like crap and the amount of materials and prices for them is just absurd plus i dont have such an ego that i would feel the need to show how much e-wealth i have

Lawnmower · Sep 10, 2006, 08:43 PM // 20:43

but seriously, the term "optional gold sink" is they key.

I think ebayers and etlism is out of our concern, and I think its so wrong to hinder gameplay mechanics because of stuff like that.

Also, I will never be able to get 100k armor, but I still want it, even though I will never get it. because then I have a goal.

titles are just lame.. no one cares... its just a title. so boring. a really cool looking armor that only 1 or 2 guys in the entire game has, which when they enter a district, they turn everyones worlds upside down out of sheer awesomeness...

they could even make combo specific armor sets.

for example, a uniqe armor set for Warrior/Monks only. its designed could be paladin-holy knight like. shiny armor, with devine aura surrounding it...

think of the possibilities. the diversity. the new colour. the freshness. it only takes so long for the game to feel really old, grey and down right depressive.

leeky baby · Sep 10, 2006, 09:13 PM // 21:13

all armour is the same no matter what it looks like if u want to show of or look cool buy fow not the rubbish below it

as i dont care about the armour but oviously alot of people do and have alot of armour instead of perfect weapons which actually matter

The introduction of new armours for Factions caused a *slight* influx in the price of the common materials, but they were still under 300 gold for a stack of 10 which wasn't ground breaking. The rare materials for said 1.5k armour didn't change that much either, so I don't see the problem of introducing another option into the game. The "economy" is completely optional to this game, if you want to look good (which will have NO bearing on your gameplay whatsoever or the players around you) you should be willing to pay whatever price the market has determined. It's not like you're going to be judged for wearing cheap armour or kicked from groups (and if you are kicked from a group for not having an expsenive armour you're probably better off, seriously).

So yes to more choices, if I don't like them I just won't buy them. That simple.

LifeInfusion · Sep 10, 2006, 09:29 PM // 21:29

I'm with the others here.
If you want to blow money so bad go grab FoW or multiplle 15Ks and perfect gold weapons...

Why do you want 30k/60k/100k armors is beyond me. Player skill > armor cost.

Scourage of Death · Sep 10, 2006, 09:35 PM // 21:35

/notsigned...its called FoW....the ectos and shards are somewhat hard to get and the armor with the price of those factored in is a lot... plus you have to get a group good enough to go to FoW and beat the quests

fleshvirus · Sep 10, 2006, 09:41 PM // 21:41

wouldnt be unfair to have Higher base armor and resistance for The even more destructive skills

i guerentee you any truly rich player would have it rather quickly.
even assuming a cost of 800k per piece several people have that kind of money on-hand.

Then make it 10,000K. I don't care. Just make something truly rare and uniqe, that will make my eyes bleed of awesomeness.

dude...it took me a week of troll/mino farm with my warrior to get 15k armor and im already disgusted of farming...plus even if a person wears fow armor,how many people do you think they go wow at it??...i bet not even half of the gw comunty knows how fow armor looks like......no it is not time for 30,60,100k armors...it will never be...do you think every1 here likes to farm or what ?

swimnserve88 · Sep 10, 2006, 10:19 PM // 22:19

As a player who bought his first set of 15k armor when the price of amber was still at 2k a pop, I think that there should be more 1.5k options than anything. Allow the elite/rich/eBayers/whatever to have their fancy FoW armor, but 30k+ a piece is insane. It promotes grinding, demoralizes the average joe player (who I think the game still is unbalanced to, I mean, all of the market prices are insane for the guy who only plays so much....what about the little man?), and is a huge gold sink, which there are already plenty of in this game.

I think ANet should include 4+ armor options at the 1.5k level, and a set of 15k to match it, much like they did with factions. They should also make the older Prophecies armors into the Faction equivalents, having the skin and armor option was cool in factions and is poorly missed in Prophecies.

So as a closing note, I own several 15k armors now, all of which I bought with my hard earned money, but I think that there should be more options around the lower levels than the higher ones.

Sieg Sol · Sep 10, 2006, 10:40 PM // 22:40

I dont like the idea..it will just cause more big heads and ego's. I earn everything of mine......people may think i ebay but i dont. I remember back in FFXI people bought gil. I would train mobs to those chinese gil farmers cuz they would sell gil. Yeah i got temp ban but it was so worth it. Then SE started to see why me and others did it..and they didnt complain anymore rofl.

But back to the point. I agree it would just promote ebay. I think 15k is a fine limit with if anything..harder to get materials (thats the limit imo)

Although i still dream of a 15k prophecies knights set....

Nanood · Sep 11, 2006, 12:14 AM // 00:14

The idea is fine with me. Ive been playing since may 2005 and i still occasionally pull up next to someone with fow armour and have a 2 second look. The thought of where the money came from never crosses my mind and i couldn't care less if they farmed the money or they bought it. The armour looks the same either way.

Who cares how people got it.

The people i get annoyed with are the people who don't know how to play in a group not the people who buy money for stuff or take shortcuts.

I'm not sure why people have to focus so much on someone elses view of how the game should be played or items should be obtained. People don't "disgrace" themselves for taking shortcuts. Every facet of life is always looking for a shortcut.

So i say bring it all on. It will give me something to look at for another 2 seconds.

100k Armour? Oh So FoW isn't expensive enough? Or hard enough to get if you farm for it?
