If you look at the new set you can buy, its +10 v elem. If you look at my old set it has'nt updated. Anyone else noticed this on other armor, is it deliberate for some reason? One thought was maybe its deliberate - factions pvp is harder but that doesnt make sense seeing how you can wear new sets in 'old' places.

it's in the game updates.. been waiting for this too

"ARMOR CHANGES

New armor designs from Cantha have begun to influence armor crafters in Tyria. Existing armor sets will not be updated yet, but a means to upgrade existing level-20 armor for free will be provided in the near future."

So 2 days before factions came out, I was gunna celbrait by buying my warrior new armor. So i decided to buy 15k Platemail armor. So I got it and it has 85 armor. 2 Days later i saw that they changed the armor form 85 to 90...

Please tell me theres gunna be a guy who updates your armor!

1) Already a thread about this, about six or eight lines down. Entitled, oddly enough, "Armor not getting updated?", which is much more direct than your "Ohh God."

2) Yes, it will get updated, for free. Go here and see the Armor Changes section in the first post.

EDIT by Swehurn - Deleted comment that was bordering on a flame.

ANet said that they will provide a way to update old armor to the newer specs. The problem is that it hasn't been provided as of yet.

Taken From Guildwars.com Game Updates Section:

Just wait and don't craft another armor

Yeah Anet needs to get on that chop chop!!! I wants my sexy Ele to not wear teh ssucky armor no more.

dargon · May 12, 2006, 08:19 PM // 20:19

ANet needs to fix other more important things first. You'll get your revised armor, just lets get the bugs dealt with first.

Navaros · May 12, 2006, 08:23 PM // 20:23

Fixing old armor is way more important than fixing bugs. The old armor issue existed first, therefore it is only fair to deal with it first. It can even be argued that the current lack of a fix for old armor is a bug.

I concur that Anet should fix old armor immediately.

EternalTempest · May 12, 2006, 08:27 PM // 20:27

They been working a lot on the mission bugs, which has been causing a bigger problem.

Two of my characters that need multiple sets updates. 4 sets for my ele and 3 sets for my Monk myself.

Zaxan Razor · May 12, 2006, 08:27 PM // 20:27

Nah..bug fixes first.

Measly extra 5 AL per armor piece should be down at the bottom of the list.

Vargs · May 12, 2006, 08:28 PM // 20:28

Whoa, Taiwan has favor in that pic. I've never even seen that before.

Phoenix Avenger · May 12, 2006, 08:29 PM // 20:29

I dont see why this NPC wasnt included day 1 of factions release. It's not like the old armor not having as good as stats as the new ones was a bug. They knew ahead of time that armor of some people would improve. Did they just have poor planning? Or are they just trying to get people to waste money on new armor?

So I suppose the Armor+5 weapon mods are meaningless too, eh?
-_- So sorry, but also keep in mind that not everyone uses a PvP character; but instead has all their slots filled with PvEs. Going in with the current lower armor is a handicap to them, then.

It must be fake! lol.

They are getting to it, I dont see this being as important as say...not being able to finished the 3rd mission 50% of the time. Your armor doesnt matter when you get stuck.

Arkantos · May 12, 2006, 08:36 PM // 20:36

They should fix the armour, but I think that bugged missions are more important in ANets eyes.

There created an new npc to put in to towns, it will work with green weapons and multiple armor's, that's a bit of programming.

Skuld · May 12, 2006, 09:10 PM // 21:10

anet didn't do a v. good job on the game in that sense, they can't change the level at the click of a button and they can't recall weapons etc.. im no game developer but that shouldn't be so hard

dargon · May 12, 2006, 10:45 PM // 22:45

Skuld, you're right, you're not a game developer. I'm not either, but I do write code for a living and I know that the littlest change in position X in my program every so often likes to affect position Y, hundreds or thousands of lines away. The NPC is coming, if you really can't wait, buy a second set of armor, then when the NPC arrives, you'll have two. It's not like the extra little bit of armor really has a great big effect in the grand scheme of things.
