Insignias: they add an "inherent" bonus to armor, such as damage reduciton, +xxarmor while hexed, ect. They are currently Nightfall Campaign only, which is ok for now.
The Bonus: you can now select the skin you want, and buy the bonuses later! Less decision between looks vs. functionality.
The Problem: Many players have 15k armor (this includes Prophecies, Cantha, and Obsidian 15k) that has "bad" stats. Or in other words, stats that seemed good at the time, but are largely useless now (Bonelace armor, anyone?). Currently, we cannot apply insignias on older armor.
The Solution: a massive armor update that changes the "-3 damage reduction" or whatever to an Inscription. You can salvage them off, re-apply them, ect. It would most likely require Anet to update all armor names, such as "Obsidian Ascalon Leggings" to "XXX Obsidian Leggings of XXX". This would require lots of time on Anet's part, but perhaps they could take a break from the Weekend events and update the armor. It would make MANY fans happy who crafted the wrong armor.
EXAMPLE (XXX= inscription slot):
15k Tormentors Leggings of Superior Vigor- before update
Grotto XXX Leggings of Superior Vigor- after update
15k Bonelace Leggings Of Superior Vigor- before update
Citadel XXX Leggings of Superior Vigor- after update
15k Ascalon Obsidian Leggings of Superior Vigor- before update
Obsidian XXX Leggings Of Superior Vigor- after update
15k or 1.5k Gladiators Kurzick Leggings of Superior Vigor- before update
Vasburg XXX Kurzick Leggings Of Superior Vigor- after update
15k or 1.5k Gladiators Luxon Leggings of Superior Vigor- before update
Leviathan XXX Luxon Leggings of Superior Vigor- after update
1.5k Gladiators Leggings Of Superior Vigor- before update
Droknar's XXX Leggings Of Superior Vigor- after udpate
15k or 1.5k Canthan Gladiators Leggings Of Superior Vigor- before update
Kaineng XXX Leggings Of Superior Vigor- after update
ect, ect.
Thoughts?
Armor Insignias: Make them retroactive, please

If ANET modifies pre-Nightfall armors and takes away stats, then these downgraded armors should receive the benefits of insignias so that they can be restored to their pre-Nightfall stats. Otherwise, these pre-Nightfall armors should never have been altered.

The game has changed and the type of attributes I need on my FOW armour needs to change to suit changes in the game.
FOW armour is CORE to all games so why not at least allow FOW armour to take the new insignias?

This is what I was thinkig about today. Tbh the 15k gladiators female armor is prolly the best one ingame and having it insigniable would be tremendous thing.

If they don't do it now, count on them adding it when Ch4 is out. Remember material storage, stated to be GWF exclusive? With the release of GWN, they added it to all chapters.
It is a tricksy marketing ploy, to allow NF to sell better, and when NF is no longer their prime focus, they can release it to the rest of the game, and make up some other exclusive feature for Ch4.
But please, please, add this before that.
And while you're at it, inscriptions on weapons from all chapters would be a tremendous help as well. You don't need to make it retroactive, just count for all weapons found in the future. Pretty please.

/signed - I personally don't care for the armor in Nightfall. Most is pretty, well, ugly IMO. So I would like to be able to update the 15k sets I have.
I would imagine it would be no different than what Anet did with those Crimson Carapace Shields some time back. They altered the stats, and quickly added an NPC to replace it with the correct version. It was a quick fix.
Why not add an NPC to "strip" the mods from your armor set and allow the use of inscriptions? Similar effect as changing the shield. The "newly stripped" armor is really just a replacement armor set exchanged.

If the idea was to make changing armor stats easier, it certainly makes sense to have it work on all armors in all chapters. Plus, it makes every armor set useful in whichever situation you adapt it to, something that will make fashion-minded players very happy

Every game adds new features as it matures but hardly any (read : none) retrofit existing content to be able to use these new features. We understand it's a time issue, especially with teams working on new content but there are those of us, longstanding players of all campaigns who would love to be able to bring our Proph characters in line with the existing content.
If it's explained to us, IE, no this will not happen because the time it would take = and the impact it would have on the game is... that's fine (IMO) but yeah, it would be pretty nice to allow the original content to be Inscribed, inscriptions are the new rock & roll.

They updated the tyrian 15k armor when they released factions, because factions armor had better stats.
They will update the armor so it can use all the insignias, id lay my life on it.

However, they should just change the armors to have insignias already on them. i.e. Gladiator's has the equivalent insignia, knights, etc
There ought to be an NPC of sorts to change it into insignias in Nightfall. Insignias only drop in Nightfall so the stats shouldn't be wiped for prophecies players.

Now Nightfall is released, and the FoW armor - the ultimate end-game-multi-chapter armor - is not updated to take advantage of Insignias. It is here that I will start my petition to update *all* FoW armor in existence to take advantage of the armor mechanics introduced in Nightfall. I feel its only fair for an armor that requires an enormous amount of energy and persistence to obtain. |
