Change your fow armor stats :: Price: 100k each time you change

Change your fow armor stats :: Price: 100k each time you change

What do you think about? Should be a fair amount. I would do that if I had to change my stats. It's just ridiculous that you can't change the stats on your armor you've bought for 1.3 mill.

Even if you got the gold/ectos/shards to buy all 7 different armor types, you would never have enough room to own all of them.

Its rediculus you cant change stats on armor you bought for 2 platinum

nah, highend armor should be highend armor and not expansive armor only.

they should have the option to change 1.5k armor for like 10k then FoW armor doesnt make you better then anyone else and you shouldnt be allowed to have special privlages because you have alot of money.

why... why why why why would you even say that... now you've petitioned a drive for people to get all 7 types...

Ok mr elitist, there are some of us that would rather NOT farm to get FoW, and can live with 1.5k armor, if FoW armor could do it, then 1.5k should be able to, too, having FoW doesn't make you better than everyone else...it means you can use eBay or can be determined enough to farm that much...either way, still not better than everyone without it.

Although, /notsigned, I purchased many sets of armor for seperate builds, get used to having to buy more armor...that doesn't mean go buy 7 sets of FoW either -_-

its not hard to buy 7 types of 1.5k armor or to buy a new one with new stats and delete your old.

and I worked hard for my one and only fow armor (trading only, NO ebay, NO gold-buying, NO farming, NO scamming, NO lucky find)


- closed due to poor whiners -

no, FoW armor SHOULD be able to have armor you can change the stats on for a high price (I'm talking about like 25k a piece)... Maybe 15k armor can be 4k a piece... 1.5k armor is so cheap it doesn't really matter.
Why? Because if Anet keeps changing and nerfing aspects of this game, armor is, as it already has, going to keep changing, too. FoW is VERY VERY expensive, and it's NOT fair to have spend over a million on [FoW] armor, and then the armor gets nerfed and you're told to just "deal with it". Some people actually work for their money.

Here's how I'm thinking this works. The armor you already own counts as the materials for the armor you are getting, and the armor you are trading HAS to be customized for you. I'm generals won't matter, but you can only use FoW armor to exchange for other FoW armor, only kurzick for kurzick, and only luxon for luxon. The rest should be interchangable. And if you use something that isn't luxon for luxon armor, you still need the jade... same with kurzick and amber. So you go to armor merch, and click on a button that says something like "exchange", put the armor you are exchanging in the window, and taduh! A new list of armor comes up with new prices (1.5k for 1.5k armor, 4k for 15k armor, and 25k for FoW armor), BUT! they don't require materials to make either. So you just select the armor that you want (you can only get armor you exchanged... if you put in just boots, you can only get a pair of boots), pay for it, and all done. Runes should be transfered to their respective armor pieces for 100g a piece I think. Yes, that costs too, but it's a 100% chance of getting that rune in your armor still, so you don't have to salvage and hope it lives to see your new shiny stuff.

My $0.02

Also, I only really want this to be done for FoW armor. Everything else is... cheap. FoW armor not because it's special, but because it can be a huge hassle to come up with that money again.

You say its not hard to buy 1.5k armor. If memory serves not everyone has large amounts of time on their hands. So for many getting 1.5k armor can be a difficult process.

And don't look down on the "poor" users. Not everyone is good at amassing vast sums of gold in mere hours. You call them whiners yet your behaviour could be considered snobish.

thanks EndoftheSyringe for the first good post in here.

You only think its good because he agrees with you. Why make a suggestion when your not open to constructive criticism.

No, like all the armor in the game, pre searing to FOW you should think about it before you buy it.

Some people bought the FOW armor for looks ( i say some people and not all to not start an arguement) , if you wanted armor for the stats you shoudl have bought the one with the stats you need.

If you have the money to buy FOW armor you should think 10 Times more if your sure that particulor armor is good enough for you and what skill etc your using.

Think about all the things you can think of that will make your FOW armor be not as good as 1.5K armor, think of what they might add in a future chapter, think of what they might nerf, think of all you can before spending the money for the armor.

And like NinjaKai said it seems everyone that disagrees with you is wrong and peopel that go your way are right.FOW armor IS highend, because everyone knows how expensive it is and most of the times it looks better.Thats is the only reason they exist "cause they look better" there should be no other advantage on FOW armor other then its looks.

please, tell me, whats the advantage when you can buy a full 15k armor instead of ONE change of the stats?

we talk about changing stats for GOLD

I'm pretty sure 100k is still something to a fow wearer..

People are making too much of a big deal about FoW armour, it almost seems like a RL investment. Sooner or later you will get used to the looks and get over the excitement.

I'm just talking about spending lotsa moneh on something that gets nerfed. That's all. An update like this wouldn't bother me at all. Just giving an example of how it might work.

I agree x100 with this statement:
"If you have the money to buy FOW armor you should think 10 Times more if your sure that particulor armor is good enough for you and what skill etc your using."

holy shit, so many people talking crap here.

HAHAHAHAHA SURE. AND YOU USE ONLY >> ONE << BUILD EVERYTIME YOU ARE PLAYING RIGHT? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

SORRY THAT'S JUST =)/"%)=%%"=?=/%" NO FUN TO DISCUSS WITH THOSE.... AHAHAHAHA SORRY NO WAY. I LEAVE THIS THREAD ALONE.

BWAHAHAHAHAHA!

Please do everyone a favor and grow up and remove your caps lock key.

i agree completely with EndoftheSyringe. All armor should be exchanagble. 15k for 15k, 1.5k for 1.5k and FoW for FoW. No materials should be neccessary, except when changing one 15k for a kurzick or luzon 15k, then they should need the amber/jade. This would be to prove that your are their ally and you killed the other side , but also to prevent someone from buying a cheaper 15k and exchanging it for 15k kurz/lux to avoid having to get the jade/amber. i think the exchange should cost 5k for 15k, 500g for 1.5k, and 5k for FoW (because they already spent all the time getting the ectos and shards and the actualy cost is only 15k so the exchange will cost the same as 15k,and they would only be able to exchange FoW for FoW so no one will be able to avoid the ectos and shards)

IMO it is unfair that people buy their armor and choose their stats and then next chapter they release newer possibly better stats and change the stats of older armor.

i do agree that we should carefully consider the stats of our armor before buying, but how can a player be asked to consider armor that doesnt even exist yet? Are they just supposed to get collector armor and wait to see if better armor comes out in chapter 3 and if better armor doesnt come out then but comes out in chapter 4, well they dont want to waste money so they sit and wait to see if better armor comes out then....

and as far as ascalon boots go, many people, including myslef, considered all the other armors and dmg reduction seemed to be the best choice, but then it was changed, are we supposed to expect all of our armors to become nothing like they were when we bought them?

it's like if they gave you a question What is 2+2? A) 4 B)19 of course you choose A, but after you turn it in they change and now A is 1989 and B is 4

just my thoughts

About the not being able to think of what they might add on armors in new chapter, that part i know ,you cant really do,but my point in that is convince yourself 100% that THAT is the armor you want and then consider if your willing to pay 15K a piece +materials.


No, unlike you i have 4 sets of full armor to play around with for whatever build i go.

And yes leaving this thread alone is good,there is no point in argueing with a wall.

well what i was trying to say is that maybe among the available armors i might be 100% sure that i want armor "A", but next chapter they come out with an armor that i like even more that armor "A" and to get it i now have to get the materials and cash all over again. If this other armor had been available at the start i would have chosen that one, but it wasnt so i got the best one available. and you might say wait until the one you really want becomes available, but what if it never becomes available? am i just supposed to wait for it forever? so i have to miss out on the fun of wearing 15k armor on the off chance that they might have a better one next chapter. that just seems rather unfair to me

[QUOTE]that is only because so many people disagree with you and think you are full of it.

anybody with FOW armor can drop 100k and never miss it.

/no way

[QUOTE=Loviatar]no, just because they were once rich enough to afford FoW, does not mean they remain rich.

and even if they still have alot of money they certainly didnt get it by dropping 100k in the trash

Loviator... that is completely untrue.

Some people go completely broke getting FoW for one character.

Some people get FoW in pieces because they can't pay for it all at once.

/Not Signed
too many people having heated discussion in this thread
i personally hate the look of most of the FoW Armors so i have never bought 1 and never will buy 1, if you want to change the stats of your FoW Armors then why don't you start a petition or something to have sets of the same looking armors with different stats or something like they have on factions.

@Cybah
I have a felling you got your Fow armor and you bought a wrong set or the set you wanted doesnt benefist to you any more coz of some armor nefr and you are anrgy and you want others to confirm your ideas just you will feel better about yourself.
