Petition: Insignias available for Tyrian/Canthan armor

NOT SIGNED/ .....and i own all three chapters of GW from day one on each chapter.

My reasoning is when is this gonna end, I want my old weapons to be inscriptable, I want all the same double the drop rate weekends..I want the same skill set that you can get in all the chapters....etc etc....i want i want i want i want....see my point. Just buy new armor.

The only set of armor I would agree on is the FoW stuff..cuz it is connnected to all chapters.

The day I get to inscribe my ranger's Kurzick armor (never anything else, it goes with the ponytail) with a Brawler's Insignia, and my mesmer's 15K rogue with Sentry's will be a glorious one!

Please arenanet, please!

/signed for being able to add insignia to my FoW armour as noway can I afford to buy it again - it was a struggle the first time.

Just buy new armour???

I buy armour based on the looks, and I have 15k canthan on my elly, 1.5k kurzick on my monk, and am going to save for 15k kurzick on my rit.

If I want insignias, why dont I buy NF armour? BECAUSE I PREFER THE LOOK OF THE ONES FROM FACTIONS.

If I buy the armour I prefer, why should that stop me from using insignias to change the stats? It just means I dont need to carry around 4 or 5 sets of armour to be able to change between the attributes.

/signed so I can customise my armour without having to buy ugly NF ones.

/notsigned

I have 4 sets of fissure armor and admittadly was pritty "miffed" when they changed the stats of Platemail and didnt update for so long i actually bought a new set to replace it, i was also unhappy when they added insignias. Personally i think all that they should of never added insignias to armor nor weapons apart from PvP characters, i would hate it if they made all weps inscribable and this would push them to do so.

/signed for fow only because its connected to all 3 chapters.. looks the same.. expensive etc.

Armor stats are the same for all the armors in the chapters (best armors I mean).
But to make "better" amors in NF (which mostly look awful - alike Dervish) is completly out-of-border idea. Braking the first.

/signed

I find some Tyrian armors are looking awesome, but as they don't have the bonuses I would like to have, I don't buy them (15k Plate Armor for Warrior, for instance). What a shame ...

You are suggesting that just because we are asking for something is reason enough not to give it to us? Because we will just demand more? Why won't we just all shut up so that things will improve.

In Cantha the solution is really easy: make the ones without attributes allow insignias.

In Propecies they'll just had to add to the already existing Blacksmiths the set without attributes. And another NPC where the list could be too long.

At the very least: All existing FOW and 15K armors should be upgraded to support insignias. They would KEEP their current attributes, but gain the ability to change them.

I don't mind having to re-purchase the 1.5k armors, but I REFUSE to re-purchase my FOW because If I had the option, I would have bought the insignia version originally!

The 15k armors are in the middle. I CAN afford to re-buy them, but I am sentimental about my 15k Necrotic (my first nice set) and don't want to lose it.

/sign and kinda /not sign

Well i /sign beacuse i work my way throuhgt hell getting money for 3 set of 15k armor( all grotto for water fire earth(sry air not rich enough))

not sign beacuse well i think Anet doesnt want it beacuse it might be a invetion of elona and has nothing to do with tyria and cantha(like rice is to china)

I think it's fair for there to be an NPC in Elona that can make any armor insignable for a fee. I think it's fair for that NPC to be either early in the game or late in the game, but the NPC should be in an outpost. Don't make people repeat the same quest over and over on the same character to reach an upgrade NPC ... that's already done for infusion.

I don't think it's fair that this option be given only to people with old FoW armor, since there really is no way to say for sure who worked "harder" for which armor art. That's too subjective.

The eventual addition of material storage NPC's to all chapters makes me think ANet will eventually add an option to upgrade old armor. Neither the new armor bonuses nor the art-independent armor system from Cantha were ever introduced into Tyria, so those make me think ANet won't add this option.

Still, /signed /agree

I'd really appreciate this feature, and I think it would be a nice reward from ANet to people with multiple chapters.

They should only add Insignia to previous chapters' armors if they fix the broken prices first. I'm not going to pay 8.5k for Bloodstained Insignia when I can get the equivalent in Factions for 500g, and I'm not going to accept being forced to pay that 8.5k by switching to the Insignia system for all armors.

/notsigned, trash the whole inscription/insignia idea.

/Signed

More money sink.

Its not a question about not doing it but it not being possible. What im thinking is the entries for each armors are different and would require real life change of gulidwars software and databases and would cost them alot of time and money.

Thats just me but i know gaile said its currently impossible for them to do.

It's very far from impossible; there ARE precedents.
For example, take the stats of the old Rockmolder.
The first Rockmolder had a 20% chance to half skill recharge.
They then changed this so that for a long time, 2 versions of the Rockmolder co-existed, one with 20%, one with 10%.
Then in the 13/7/2006 update, they changed the old Rockmolders to have the same stats as the new ones.
They also changed the stats on the Crimson Carapace shield retroactively.

So it would be trivial for them to upgrade all armours so that their current stats change to inscribable ones instead.

At some point they'll probably make it so insignias are current through all three chapters. Right now, it's just a selling point for Nightfall.

/signed

It is completely pointless not to allow them.
