I would like to see Kurzick/ Luxon armors for Paragons and Dervishes.
These classes have the least armor choices, even when EotN comes out they'll still be behind.
There were magical Kurzick/Luxon skills that appeared for Paragons and Dervishes, heres hoping these armors can magically appear the same. Think about 15k Tormentors/ Knights etc, it can happen.

If you would like to see this happen please keep this post going so Anet can see it.

I'd like to see them be made, but it simply doesn't make sense. Why would Canthans make something that is basically unfamiliar to them? However, I know Rits get Ancient/Vabbian armor, but no sorta main sets, if you know what I mean. I'd /sign is it was 5k, not at the level of prestige/zomg looks that normal 15k armor, but higher than normal 1k armor.

I don't see why not. Just a quick reskin would be better than nothing.

Though I guess it's one of those "damned if I do/damned if I don't" kinda things. If you give them simple reskins they will complain that they're cheap, while other classes will complain that P's and D's got new armors while they didn't.

Hi Marty, why would Canthans make PVE skills for paragons/dervishes? If they want you to fight their battles, why wouldnt they cover you in their armor? It makes perfect sense.

And as you pointed out, why would Elonians make Rit/Sin armor? Infact, why would Rits/Sins even be in Elona? Because Factions came out first.
Like i mentioned above, 15k armor did eventually come out for Knights and Tormentors, it's proof that this sort of thing can happen after a game has been released.
As to what the cost of the new armors should be? 1.5k and 15k of course.

Vote yes!

This would still make people complain that X profession doesn't have X armour from X game. So unless with each new profession (although we know they said that there will not be any more campaigns and expansions) gets every single set of 1.5k and 15k armour there will be complaints.

Assassins don't get elite sunspear! They get the PvE skills, but do they not want to armour them?

I see your point, but Rits/Sins get 2 armors outside their native lands, Paragons/Dervishes get 0.

Voldo the Exotic could make already existing 'Elonian' Armors, he is the exotic armorer. Afterall.

I would make the Luxon and Kurcick elite at least.

Like others have said, if you were to do that for these classes you'd need to fill in the gap for Rits and Assassins too.

But hey, who knows what they'll do while we wait for GW2.

I'd like this, if only because Paragon males need new armor designs about as desperately as male Elementalists.

I would like to see the additions across the board. They added obsidian armors for them. I do not see a reason why they cannot add a gothic Dervish and Paragon line in the Kurzicks, and turtle shell sunbathing line for both in the Luxons. But what I would be most amuzed by is a Canthan elite Dragon design for both in the Palace. Perhaps the weights on the Dervish belts could be a Kuunavang head. Dragon wings on the shoulders and celestial dragon design on the chest of the Paragon would be cool.

(I also wouldnt mind seeing weapon drops with the skins from Cantha. Celestial, Gothic, Dragon, etc. spears and scythes.)

Here is my idea to get the armors in the game i think that anet should just hold an event where us the people are able to make armor sets for the luxons and kurzick for the paragon and the dervish it would be like the weapon contest but for armor. because i would personally love to see my dervish decked out in 15k kurzick.

Kurz/Lux armor for Para and Derv would be great.

I'm pretty sure it won't happen, and I'm also pretty sure Gaile said no armor design comps.

just as there are no assassin / rit armors in prophecies, there won't be any dervish / paragon in factions.

That would be considered wasting time. They want people to continue to buy the game, I'm sure, but they don't want to bring new material to new classes in the older campaigns.

If we get that event I'd want Ritualist Primeval, which for some reason never was added in. Lore reasons perhaps? But then why the Ritualist/Assassin Ancient Armour and the Assassin Primeval?

it only makes sence for them to go back and fix up the old campaigns like how else do you suppose they would get people to buy them and in some ways gwen gave proph armor for both the sins derv paragons and rits also what isnt a waste of time??? adding hair stylist which they will never do because its anet.

Edit also they added obsidian armor for paragons and dervishes.

I would really like the 4 non core classes to be given an equal amount of armor options and skills, it kinda sucks that Rits/Sins get more choice because they were there first, but I dont think these 4 should have as much choice as core classes.

agreed i was hopeing before gwen came out that most of the new skills would be for para derv and rit sin. and that they would just go back and fix up the old skills.

Tyrian armour is of unique design and fashion to people who live in Tyria.

Canthan armour is of unique design and fashion to people who live in Cantha.

Elonian armour is of unique design and fashion to people who live in Elona.

Assassins/Ritualists are unique career paths in Cantha, you don't get them in Tyria so why would armourers in Tyria make armour for them? Most armourers in Tyria probably have no idea what a Ritualist or an Assassin is. same goes for Dervishes/Paragons. You have to remember that things like this have to have a basis in reality, we can't just be able to do anything and everything because you think it'd be fun, you have to remember the background story. Otherwise we could have Koss armed with gatling gun...

WHAT?

i don't know what plant your from but because of peoples demand they when back and added fow armor for the sin and rit. it has nothing to do with them being from different lands also if that where the case then they wouldn't have any in eotn.

no armour for para/derv factions? Well why not... Anet were dumb enough to create it for Tyria.

Para/Derv Tyrian Armour. No one here say it's EoTN, dont give me that crap. It's still Tyria None-the-less. They did what they said they weren't goin to do. Go back and make amours for professions from past titles.

Stop lying to yourselves. So let's see. I can take my para and derv to Tyria to get armour(s) yet Factions' doesnt even have the armour I can use to fight for my Side?! Isnt factions supposed to have armour(s) for Luxon & Kurzicks no matter what profession?

Nuff said

You can't create a Rit or a Sin in Nightfall, but they have armors.
You can't create anything in EotN, but everyone have armors. It may be logical for core classes, but do you think Norns often go down in Elona ?

And Anton is an Ascalonian Assassin. We know his background, but it's never stated that he goes to Cantha and learns his profession.

IMO it's WAY more logical to see humans starting to make armors for new adventurers which are going to fight for you and are also new customers, than the opposite, especially when they have been running around for 6 years.

Anton the Ascalonian assassin goes against AreaNet's own background... Ritualist/Assassin shouldn't get armour in Elona either, and EotN should only sell Tyrian classes' armour. At least, this is what it should be if AreaNet bothered with the background that they've already written, but they have to put up with whiny players who obsess over armour and because they'd quite like to keep their customers, they've given into demands. By doing so, the original background they wrote in the "Manuscripts" that came with the games is now worthless.

Why, because they aren't born in those lands ?

Armorers would be stupid as hell to refuse more customers and thus more money, don't you think ? I'm not quite sure that Rit/Sin/Para/Derv's armors are that hard to make...

To be honest, the lack of Primeval for sins and rits doesn't make any damn sense, since they get Vabbian and Ancient. Especially since the Forgotten offer weapons for them...

Ok. Enough already.
Open the game. Login with a character. Open her inventory. Move the mouse over a piece of armor.
Read.
What does the last line say?
CUSTOMIZED to...

Yeah. they are Custom-made, so a character can give instructions to the crafter about what does she wants, then the crafter measure the character. Then craft the pieces.
Since when do Asura make armor for humans? Since they can measure one.

As I said, the minimum should be 2 normal, 2 elite and 1 endgame for all professions in all campaigns.

So the only ones missing are some in Tyria and some in Cantha.

Oh yeah, because it's SO HARD for Anet to ask their designers to create a few decent-looking armor sets for players, when they can make awesome armors for heroes that the big majority of players don't even farm for.

And the argument I was anwsering at was background. There isn't any logical lore reason not to have those sets.

They could just open another contest so those TexModders send their textures already ready for use in the game.

Reskins for already existing armors would do.
