(I have searched, and found nothing but ideas for God Realms. This is linked in, but I put it forward as a separate point).

I find it a little irritating that there is only 1 truly elite armor in the game, FoW armor. And, for my favorite class, the humble Ranger, I think that armor is vastly superior to most of the other ascended armor sets. I was just thinking there could be an extra, call it Godly, armor set, added to UW, and, if and when a new God realm is added, a new armor set added to that as well. I just think that there could be a bit of choice in the godly armor sets, whereas at the moment it it like it or leave it.

As ideas for each God's armor:
Balthazar: Already Implemented,
Grenth: A fairly Gothic, intricate theme. Perhaps implement cliche skulls, or a swirling mist aura for elementalists.
Dwayna: An angelic themed armor set. It could glow slighly in places like the Zodiac weapons, or the Chaos Gauntlets.
Melandru: An organic theme. As if branches of oak have woven themselves together to make a cuirass, as if leaves have knitted together to make a cape.
Lyssa: Optical illusions in the armor? Though, that may be difficult to code

Possibly incorporating simple fractals? Again, it would require a graphics team of the Gods themselves (though Guild War's current team isn't far off, looking at some of the GWEN armors).

If nothing else, Anet could hold an armor drawing contest for ideas. This is just an armor fanatic's pipe dream, ignore it if you wish.

The Grenth and Melandru armor you described is basically what Kurzick and Luxon are already. I do like the idea, but I can't see it happening or me being thrilled about it after seeing GWEN armor.

Yeah, I thought whilst posting the Grenth armor that it sounded exactly like Kurzick gear. Its hard to relate a picture in the mind's eye to someone in words, and I wouldn't expend time and effort on it for a single post. But any problems with the armor descriptions I gave catering exclusively to me could be solved with the aforementioned armor drawing contest.

I'd definetely Like that..

Indeed. I think it's safe to say this isn't going to happen.

If you have an idea, try and make it something that can be worked in during the next game/expansion. ANet rarely goes back and updates past campaigns unless there is a major - and I mean MAJOR - glitch.

However, seeing as there isn't going to be any new games/expansions for GW1, you're better off waiting to post your ideas for GW2.

This is true, but I would willingly purchase content such as this through the online store. After all, Anet will need to look at ways to keep revinue coming in over the next couple of years while GW2 is in development. The Grenth armour should have come with Underworld, really, but if they offered other elite areas for the other gods, with armours that can be obtained through there, I would happily pay for it.

So yeah, I like this idea.

You are right, but, when announcing GW:EN as the last chapter/expansion, ANet also stated that part of the team will stay to continue to work on GW1, and that they will have lots of time to implement new ideas, without the preassure of releasing a new campaign on a limited timer. So lets keep our fingers crossed.

First they should add the realms...

So, for now, we only have Grenth, Balthazar and Kormir realms.
