Eye of the North Armors: PLEASE A-net

/signs in mass

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.

the 300 pwnd. I would dress my sin in this.

~the rat~

*watches while another thread deteoriates into 300 fanboyism*

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.

an amazing illustration by Mark Zug (This is also along the lines of what Tyrian Assassin armor should look like, imho)

At least it's different.

you forget the canthan/asian roots

/sign x 10000000 I want Cynn's armor!

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.

I hate those blades, too!

Rangers with a hooded cloak AND mask would be F@#%ing AWESOME!!!!!! kinda like Lord of the Ringsish (Aragorn was a ranger)

YES YES YES... the only goo armor that i use now is a mix of 15k kurzick robes and 1.5k of shing jea pants and boots, and ascalon gloves, all dyed white..... and that was a bitch to figure out....

Make it so!

Sorry mate, but you're missing the point. Those are rogues and thieves, not assassins/ninjas - they are asian themed while rogues are medieval europe.

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

he is saying GW sins are asian based lol.......

=P
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...
