I haven't heard anything like this...
90% sure its crafting material for Factions armor.

Duh. That makes more sense.... although customizing Armor with jewels suddenly sounds like a cool idea!

It would be interesting to see other variations of armor. Like Monk armor thats +def vs Piercing or something.
Not really missing lyra, think about it. Rangers have scaled armor to protect against fire, fur armor against cold, what kind of animal hide protects against a giant rock? It's the same kind of elemental difference (physical force compared to energy) that means earth has no Mind elite, or conjure enchant.

Jewel customization... very d2 I'd quite like sapphires on my FoW gear.

Give me a break... you people waste your gold on crap armor that is the same calss as free collectors OR Droks armor, and say its Anets fault for providing new stuff to buy. Whatever... I would expect an expansion to have new options for such things. if you didn't and wasted your resources on something you don't like now. well that's called buyers remorse. Face it. Nothing you ever buy in life will be perfect forever. Why would it be in a game?

Actually building up crafting materials for new armor that isn't 15k.
For my monk I have tattos, wanders, and censor's all infused and minor runed.

My Ele does have some 15k sets and want to complete pyro but thats down the road after I buy the non-cap war skills I still need.

I suspect to see new "base" armor and have 15k versions of the "new" armor types.

The armour is better than collector armour, however, it is the same as Droknars armour.

The only good FOW armour is Necromancer armour I really don't like the Monk FoW.I prefer the 15K armour to FOW for any other class except Necro.

I would be dissapointed in Anet if there was a new " FoW armour" they really shouldn't keep running the same gimmicks into the ground like that. They should have enough creativity to come up with something different. They could however add FoW armour for the new classses to keep it fair. No one is going to chase armour chapter after chapter. It was a one trick pony never to be repeated, fun while it lasted ,but that grind needs to be left in chapter one.

Nah, Ranger and Mesmer FoW armour look great and is the nicest looking armour they can get for their classes imho.

The game requires a gold sink, something that costs a lot of money to take gold out of the economy. This is required to counter balance all the gold that is entered into the economy due to farming. If there isn't a "fow" armor in chapter, there will be something that costs a lot of money that people "want" but dont "need."

IMO, the only great-looking FOW armors are the Monk and Mesmer armors. The necro is good.

The ranger armor looks pretty snazzy because I really don't like how either of the druid armors look.

I am mainly a ranger player, and I agree with you.

But based on the images/trailer I have seen reguarding to the two possibile rangr armours from factions, I think the current FoW is better looking.

Of course, what looks better is a subjective view.

That male warr armor looks great! imagine that dyed black carrying a mursaat hammer! you'll look like sauron from LOTR! heh, I love that armor, hopefully it'll have gladiator like stats w/ energy mods or something useful. I'm definitely getting it though.

how can the demand be too high when the crafter can make infinite sets of armor, thus an infinite supply.

^maybe but the mats required for it wouldn't be available in infinite supply per say due to only a select number of individuals who are able to afford it. Thus only few people will be running around w/ it INITIALLY then as price subsides then other people will have a more realistic range of acquiring it. However, the first months of the game or when the armor is exposed, demand will be so high than prices(like when FOW armor was getting mainstream) for the mats will be sky high. It'll be like when trader was selling ecto for almost 20k.

My monk has FOW ascetics armor so I don't think i'll even worry about the new monk armors in the next chapter(cept if theres a really good looking armor then I'll craft that one to replace my tatts for 55monk farming )

Looking forward to new warr and ranger armors. I'll be creating a Male assassin and female ritualist so hopefully they get solid aesthetics as well.

I think hoping that no new armor will precide is rediculous...If there was this whole new land, with no new armors....that would be a major let down considering many of the players goals is to get 15k, to FoW armor, even if it has the same stats as Droks. I hope there is new places like UW and Fow for the otehr gods, that could provide a source of armor. That would be nice.
