Uh... Isn't this almost exactly like that essence armour concept you posted way back when?

Not that I disagree about it being a good idea...

/agree

It's not often I sign petitions, but this is a beautifully simple concept that would solve the current trend of ever-increasing armour costs. If it were expanded to include hero armour, It would make those a lot cheaper to maintain too.

nightfall update made pve chars cumbersome to equip and fully effectively in pvp...
it should not have been like this because some of us have invested a lot of time and effort in they pve chars prior to NF

OT, also, pls make fow armor = NF armor... ><

Again, I must express my appreciation to those who replied to this topic of discussion, your feedback will help make Guild Wars a better game.

In reply to Cjlr's question:
Yes, you are correct, this is almost exactly like the essence armor concept that I posted 5 months ago, except that back then ANET did not reveal its plan for Armor Insignias in Nightfall.

Now that the concept of Armor Insignias is unleashed upon the public by ANET, I believe people would better understand the flexibility and usefulness offered by the proposed "Smart Armor System" that is being discussed in this topic of discussion.

I have updated the original post in this topic of discussion to include the feedback of the community.

Kindly check and see if you still agree with what is being proposed in this topic of discussion.

Cheers.

/signed if able to change while in pve explorable areas -- since yer able to armor swap in pve anyway, I don't see why you shouldn't be able to under this system.

i'd prefer not to spend 1k every time to buy a +10 health rune for a pvp game just so i'd have that additional edge.

I'd rarther have the Canthan system, but this is a step in the right direction. I haven't bothered to buy any more armours in NF, because it costs more just to get the set to the standard of the previous releases.

We're paying the same amount for 'less' basicly at the moment. Either go back to making armour Tyr/Can style with premade stats, or allow this.

A system like this needs to take place...

Sidra · Nov 07, 2006, 06:32 PM // 18:32

/signed. Sounds really cool. Don't have any objections at all. Sure beats carrying around 5 sets of armor 0.0

Added a new link to the "Topics of Discussion of similiar nature".
Added new note "4. PvP character's armor have this function as well."

Keep the feedback comin' in!

I will be very, very happy if ANET decided to finally implement the "Smart Armor System", or at least something similiar, the new Armor Insignia system introduced with the release of Nightfall is a step towards that direction.

Cheers.

(Personally, I think they should just make PvE armor like PvP armor, and remove Rune Traders and Runes from ever dropping. When you press V, it shows a list of all the armor you own, and you can change insigmas/runes at your will without charge)

Mathias Deathwater · Nov 10, 2006, 05:39 AM // 05:39

This is exactly what I had hoped would happen with nightfall armors in the first place: the ability to further expand your character's flexibility without it being a huge time/money sink. At this point, having different armor for anything more than different skins has become almost as cumbersome as the attribute refund points used to be.
