Eye of the North promises new armor sets and whatnot. All I ask is that A-net PLEASE make some Assassin armors that aren't ridiculous.

I don't want 9-foot blades hanging off every limb of my assassin. Please A-net, can we get at least 1 assassin armor that isn't ninja-ed out?

Eh... well... Assassins are Ninja-ish.

What do you want? A Tuxedo?
Even a suit like Snake's in Metal Gear Solid is Ninja-ish.

Though it is true that I don't like very much those blades in some armors... My favourite ones are the Imperial 1.5k and the Vabbian.

Why stop with Assassin? Petition for better-looking armour, all around. I'm lucky if I find more than one armour-type per profession that I like. But I agree... The blades on the Assassin armour are quite ridiculous.

it was just today that i said assasins have the nicest armor except the fishy primeval one. I've never ever used an assasin and im out of slots to make one so ill have to wait and see.
If anything i think paragons have horrible armor. it all looks exactly the same except i do like the female fow but im hardly gunna get that.

What is wrong with the blades on the assassin armor? It looks good except the 15k imperial. If you want to complain, complain about Male paragon having Nipple Showing armor. Now thats really need some work. We expected the paragons to have Wings, or Wing blade armours. But instead anet gave us Nipple showing armors.

Edit: And give paragons a helm. Like the spartan helm from 300. Nobody likes sparkly, glowing balls on their foreheads.

As far as assassin armor being ninja-ed out, nothing could be farther from the truth in gw. Ninja are supposed to be stealthy, as should assassins, and one can't be stealthy with huge honking blades protruding off your shoulders...I think anet wants to show off the assassin as a living weapon of sorts with their ridiculous armor, but c'mon!!! can they even walk through a door without turning sideways?

Two things I would love to see would be for armors to take on more of a look reflective to the region. Factions armor excelled at this, though only a few nf skins did in my opinion(ancient rit and vabbian warr being the best examples). The second would be to see the skins of the some armor skins on another class. An example being a warrior armor set that consists of tatoos that's seen typically on monks...I know this doesn't make much sense considering what i've said above, but the norn do it...

Hmmm... I had a look at the armors on Guild Wiki, and I see what you mean. the 1.5K ones are alright. In fact, they're all OK, except for the Female Exotic Armors, 1.5K AND 15K. They should be re-named to Pincushion.

Yeah, my female assassin followed the Way of the Sea Urchin until she got to Hot Topi- err, that is, House Zu Heltzer.

EDIT: The Persian ninja mask strongly resembles the Ancient and Primeval mesmer masks.

Not sure to post here since it seemed to focus more on sins but.....
for:
Wars- A cool white mantle armor would be nice, along with a new Ascolon/ charr armor, a new platemail, and knights armor styles

Necros- some necromancer robes, a lil more like master of wispers, and eve's

Eles- just some cool spell caster robes, no more of this tight leather pants thing for the guys

Mes- idk i just never felt like they didnt got the right armor for em, i feel like they need more of a dark and mysterious look to them, and their masks a lil demonic (lil more like the primeval)... (just my opinon thou)

Monk- i like what they've done with em, id like some more tats thou

Ranger- a new long coat armor

Sins- i agree no more of the the blades every where, more of the style that uve guys posted

Rits- hmm ive like wut they've done with them so far, nothin realy to change

Dervs- i'd like to c a one arm covered(by clothes or armor) while the other isnt

Paras- Pants.... for the males i mean, id like to c them in pants rather then skirts (if they were more like kilts then they would be fine), keep the skirts just put the long pants under

I was never a fan of Long Robes/Coats in GW... The graphics engine doesn't animate them well at all so they look too stiff and completely unappealing to me. I don't think we need more of this.

I don't think the skirt/kilt aspect is that big of a deal, but I would liked to see more diversity in the designs since every Paragon armour set looks nearly identical; some just have uglier adornments than others.

I agree. A lot of them have the long robes (unappealing to me, as mentioned above) and the few that don't aren't that great either. I also like the primeval/dark aspect and would have liked to see more of this (especially for the males). In fact, I'm very hesitant to roll a male Mesmer or Elementalist because I do not find any of their armours or design skins (face, etc..) to be appealing.

I also do not like the blades everywhere (at all!). But all the suggestions posted so far look generic or like ninjas, which I'm also not at all a fan of. I'd like to see something more original for the Assassins that doesn't require blades at every joint.

Agreed. Ritualist is the only profession that I like ALL the armour options for.

I want to add my pennys worth about Elemental armor.

Ele armor is far worse then any other profession armor. Its about time Anet gave us something decent.

So if the Sin's get decent gear, i sure as hell hope the Ele's do for once.

Urm...actually assassins are NOT bound only to Asian origins. If you read R.A Salvatore's Forgotten Realms books (Great series!!) you would've known that Artemis Entreri IS an assassin and not rogue/thief, and he wears like that. All those tight leathers and stuff

On the topic, yea i've had enough of blades protruding out of assassins. And pls pls pls make paragon armours nicer!! the current ones....i don't like any of them at all

If that's what he's saying then how do you explain the mummified armour (Egyptian) of the supposedly 'asian-based' ritualists?
i think the armours of different continents should reflect the nature/culture of that continent so as GW:EN is in underground Tyria or something i'd really like to see some western style assassin armours

Well, there will be 40 new armors in GW:EN, making it 4 armors per profession...
We also know there'll be 5 races involved in the storyline.

I think each armor will be in the style of a certain 'new' race (so no real 'human' style), meaning that warriors would get sturdy armor like the Charr would have if you crafted it in an outpost near their homelands, rangers would get more Druid-like armor with the Sylvari, etc.

Just a thought...
