I have never spent much time on this particular forum, so I apologize if this has ever been suggested before, I did do a search and found nothing.

Since anet has allocated pretty much all of its resources toward the development of GW2 and we are not getting any truly new content for GW1, people are looking for new challenges within the framework of the existing game. This is evident when u see people doing fast clears of UW, FoW and eotn dungeons. Another trend I have noticed is that people are pimping out their heroes with elite weapons (my guild leader put a tormented shield and a voltaic spear on his Tahlkora for example). Since the concept of different hero armor already exists in this game, I suggest taking this one step further by making FoW armor remnants periodically pop from the end chests of UW and FoW. This seems very simple to implement since the armor design already exists, just put the armor NPC's in ToA, Zin Ku and Chantry. The "elite" status of fow armor could be maintained by making the drop rate a low percentage or making it so that a number of remnants would be needed for a set of armor instead of just one remnant.

I think this is quite doable, what do you all think?

Seems a good idea to me actually. Although, maybe one peice per person every time they open the end chest? Seems more reasonable, so people don't just 600/smite farm the peices for uber cash.

I think its a good idea and also not so great. Good for people that have core (meaning they have all games, I think

) But for the people that just own the first guild wars and/or just factions, its only pointless. I mean they could sell but most people probebly dont care about what their heros look like. Also it would bring down the chance of getting OB sword and other rare weapons/materials. I am kinda making it sound like I do not want this to happen, just saying what others may be thinking. Actually:

oops, maybe this would take more effort than I thought

I doubt I'll bother getting them, but for those who will, I'll /sign it, since it is a good idea, in my opinion.

Don't like them. Let them do without. One's racist, another's a giant walking cat with bad voice acting, and the last one is also racist.

uzumaki · Aug 21, 2008, 11:40 PM // 23:40

i really really like this idea i think it would be great if heroes could have fow armor, they should make it a drop from the fow end chest! There are so few groups for fow now this would definelty spark an interest. I love the fissure of woe <3, always have and would like to see more fow farming groups there

Could take inspiration from this, for pyre... I would like to see him actually look cool.

Nanna · Aug 22, 2008, 12:03 AM // 00:03

My heroes have different armors because of the HoM sttuf but and I i like the idea!

However, I don't really think the devs will add any new content on game at this point of GW2 development...

anyway, it's

Could be a lot of fun pimping out selected heroes with FoW armor.

Just have it like all other elite places where the chest drops the remnant: Add the remnant as a drop from the chest, and keep the rates for the other stuff the same. Then again, SC's could screw this up. So it could just be an extremely rare end chest drop. Or maybe a rare quest reward chest drop (since they mostly drop junky purples...cept for crys) :/ For people that get it that don't have NF/EoTN, they can just sell it. I've seen people spamming "WTB armor for meh heroz." And for the other species, Anet can get a little creative, it wont hurt them.

Edit: In fact, maybe there would be a way to limit it so that people without heros wouldn't even have a chance of it dropping. Then, something like this could be added to The Deep/Urgoz.

Eragon Selene · Aug 22, 2008, 12:20 AM // 00:20

I like it, make it a drop from end chest.

Great idea to start with the look. I think it's fair to let each player receive one Obsidian armor remnant every time they complete the Fissure of Woe. I think this drop should be just like Slavers' where you always get one upon completion. Challenge missions should be the only place you aren't guaranteed an armor remnant.
