Dear ArenaNet,
Yesterday when i played Vizunah Square with some other nice guys, i realized how unfair the advantages are by using Factions or Nightfall armor. The other warrior (full set of Luxon 15k) and me (Gladiator 15k with Ascalon 15k boots) both had an around equal percentage of health, when an Afflicted exploded. I died, the other warrior didn't - and laughed at me. After that he said "health armor ftw".
I've played my warrior now over fourthousand hours and completed all three campaigns several times with her. I can't wait to start with hard mode soon!
However, one thing really kills my motivation: I'm completely convinced that the Gladiator's 15k armor with Ascalon Boots 15k is by far the best looking warrior armor in this game - especially when dyed silver and used with my Fellblade and Gloom Shield. However, that i can't buy them with health stats is just unfair. Why do i have to buy not so good looking armor in order to survive?
It got even worse: When i tried to play hardmode, i got kicked from a group with the following explanation: "sry, no way without health armor"
As i've heard that hard mode is really hard, i can actually understand that. But i just don't want to wear not-so-good-looking armor.
Please ArenaNet make Prophecies armor inscribable or give sets with different stats soon! Your artists have done such a fantastic job back then, please remove the downside!
Thanks in advance!
void
Please make Prophecies armor equal!

Regardless, it's your fault if you want armor with specific stats. Even Racthoh and Savio use +Health Krytan Armor...

They really should make all armor universally the same, or give us the option to make our armor from previous chapters inscribable in Kamadan or something like that. Pick an armor system and stick to it, A.net!

The +health armor didn't save your character, and in any case +armor would be far more helpful than +health in most situations. There's nothing wrong with +energy either; I should think every warrior should have a set, because running energy-intensive builds is nigh impossible without it.
As to the actual question...as I have stated before, and has been stated in many, many threads...wait until GW:EN is released, and inscriptions are not a selling point, and we might get them in Prophecies.

Ok, this is just a guess and I have zero evidence to back it up except for a single past experience. That said, it's my belief that when EotN comes out, you'll see Tyrian and Canthan armor changed to accept insignia. This belief comes from two things;
1.) the fact that materials storage was originally Cantha only and was then made available to everyone when Nightfall came out
2.) EotN takes place atleast partially in Northern Tyria and contains 40 new sets of armor (4 per class). It would be kinda silly of ANet to put the new armors into the game and NOT have them accept insignia and given the location and the fact that Dwarves are atleast partially involved in the storyline means that the technology should now be available to the rest of Tyria (or atleast Droknars, a dwarven stronghold)
Remember, this is just what I think will happen, I have no actual evidence to back it up, nor do I work for, or personally know anyone working for ANet or NCSoft.

Its been discussed often, and the solution is:
Make a signle armor system for all 3 games!

What's greatly ironic is that +10 armor from my blessed armor is significantly better then +35 health as long as I don't have an area with a lot of armor ignoring damage or degen. For those areas, I have a second +health set.
Honestly, most armor mods are pretty even atm and in PvE, none of them are going to make or break you. People who critize and discriminate against other players for their armor/skill choices just because they want cookie cutter builds and can't think outside the box are the real noobs.

but then where is the incentive to spend more money and buy nightfall

I kind of find +armor better than +health because armor can make an illusion that you have more health because you take way less damage.
Anyway, +35 health won't really save you in the end. +250 health from things like Defy/Endure Pain, and Signet of Stamina will.

You can make Hydromancer Armor with Pyromancer insignia in the PvP item creation panel.
Why not in Tyria?
This is a must. The sooner they change them, the better.

And i think 35 hp indeed make a difference! In my GW career i had a lot of moments i survived with only few hitpoints left.

Signed so many times.
Especially with the addition of the new Glad helmet and 15k Knights. I would buy them if it weren't for the crappy stats. I'd really like to know why they actually haven't done this yet.

I don't see why not if they can do it for PvP char why not PvE char a little unbalance there on their part.I have a set of survivor Knights on my PvP Warrior and the insignias are in Tyria .To the OP it is not possible now to wear mixed armour as a Warrior as possibly your boots weren't covered by the absorbtion rune.You could do what Ensign does and not use one instead use rune of vitae.

/signed a universal armor system for all 3 (4) games is much needed. There are certain styles of armor that were just more apealing than others but the bonuses suck. I might make another necro for the droks armor if insignias were allowed.

Making old armors inscribable would do more good than harm. Keeping it to Nightfall because it is a "unique feature" is silly.
If they really want to keep it to Nightfall, give the armor NPC's in Elona the ability to create inscription slots in existing armor.

Why oh Why are inscriptions available everywhere, but the armour to use them only in Nightfall areas....
Besides, they added an inscription free FoW set

I would settle for a NPC which upgrades whatever armour you are wearing to inscribable.
Maybe make it it a one off fee of 5K or 10K per completed armour set. It would work like infusion, only the NPC just makes the amour inscribable.

Yeah... please point me to the proph set that gives bonus to health...
Frozy
I really don't understand Anet, the whole point of the Insignia System was to allow us to mix any armor art with any armor bonus, yet only Nightfall Armor Sets get it...
As mentioned many times before, they could at least add a special NPC to Nightfall who'll upgrade your armor to allow Insignia, keeping the feature Nightfall-Exclusive but also making all the players happy, and it's really easy to add, it's a Win-Win situation, so why not?
... We should direct Gaile to this thread.

Prophecies specialty is 'Skill quests'.
Cantha specialty are 'Experience' and 'Faction'.
Elona specialty are 'Heroes'.
Insignia is a system that amors have. PvP armor have it. Obsidian armor have it.
All armors should have it.

Nice to hear others would love a unified armor system as well.
Sounds excellent!

I really like this idea as well.

Star Gazer
i REALLY REALLY REALLY want this idea to be put in place...but it will not happen. Gaile Gray said one time in one of her many visits to Kamadan that armor insignia's are related to the story line of Nightfall. I am not sure how, or if that she was just dodging the idea (like she usually does), but I still have hope...even after she said no :b
themeteor
it seems strange keeping it nightfall only and then letting inscribed armour walk out of Elona surely it puts people without Nightfall at a disadvantage in the content that they have paid for. plus it meant I sent that 70-80k which I don't have just lying around.
Strange Guy
Nah, 1 way or another. You can survive better with high health but you wont be able to kill with low Energy eaither >_^ I would not say this is the advantage.

Should be enough if they finally anounced if they are going to do i or not.
If they annouenthat they are going to do it, we wait.
If they annouce that they don't we... eh... whine?

Operations
As suggested elsewhere, just have an NPC in Kamdan only that can upgrade foreign armor to the Nightfall system. Then people still have to buy Nightfall, but vanity and flexibility can be satisfied.

/signed for this and for weapons to be able to use inscriptions. Right now, only Nightfall stuff is really worth using.
