Armour: Wear & Tear

/signed

As long as you are able to turn it off or on.

kind of pointless.

What's the point? all of the other peoples armors are reduced in quality in towns and outposts so it would just look horrible for scars and things (it'd look like necros have been in the sun waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too long with all the red bits smudged around.)

This adition would add alot of reality to teh game

In regards to that, I also think that they should add a "High Quality Armour Graphics in Town" option.
I don't know about you, but I suspect that my 2GB SLI system could EASILY handle that.

it could be turned off if you make it a title.

besides, all exp is good for is skill pts, might as well put some titles for it eh?

For any non-metal armor set, I'd be surprised if there was as much as a 'scratch' left after being set on fire and walking through lava pits.

love the idea... hard to implement tho...

Sounds cool, though I agree that after a while everybody would start to have the exact same scratches, scars, etc.
Degeneration over time would take a lot of power, it would probably be better to have it based on number of kills(but then it could be farmed easily) exp(could still be farmed, but would be a lot tougher) or maybe even character in game age. The last would be best, imo, but restrictions would have to be put in to stop afk'ers.
In the end though its all cosmetic, and once everybody has it they'll all stop displaying it, unless its insanely tough to do(say the higher levels of wear and tear are on par with the exp needed for legendary survivor or something)

My warrior wears 15k ascalon..... That thing already looks ruggard already

thats why I picked it

well if tha had that feature people may want to keep there armor all nice and shiny, so you would have to be able to clean it up when you wanted and i presonally dread to think what the upkeep cost on maintaining your fow armor all shiny and enw looking would cost ><

So long as it's purely aesthetic and does not actually force you to grind for "repair kit" materials etc. then this doesn't hurt anyone and it's a nice idea for more eye candy. Optional of course.

I see no point...

Go out of some town, get attacked, die, repeat, die, repeat. Noobs can do that easily.

Get armor that looks more scratched if your so into it

ehh, with war gladiator, it means ur gonna bleed, a LOT cause ur armor barely covers anything

Intersting idea, and a good one.
But question if will get implented due the the nature of the game.
Maybe good for a single player RPG game.
Would like to see it, if not too hard to make.

I think the armor changes on wow, if blizzard can do that on wow with graphics like that, then anet can do that on gw.

Nice idea but it means more information transmitted/received thus logically more lag so:

Exactly.

This would be cool, how does the age of your armor make you more or less experianced? Also people with less "dents and scratchs" on there armor aren't newbs. Their probably just people who just got NEW armor.

Some that has not a clue what there doing can what there doing can look more "experianced" than a a player that knows what hes doing who just got new armor...

Brother Gilburt

I wonder what type of damage Griffens would do....

if this was real i would so go out with my brand spankin new what ever 15k i have that day and jus sit there and tank till it looked so xped you couldnt belive im real



o and on the subject that it could cause lag make it so that if there is alot of ppl in that same town with there armor like this automaticly turn it of like in dis 1-3 in droks and otheres
