40 armor sets

Since we know that "dwarven" is not an armor set, we're at 31 armor sets.

That's Norn, Monument, and Asura for every class, and Silver Eagle for warriors.

I've looked everywhere, and I don't think I remember seeing where the other 9 armor sets are. Could anyone point me in the right direction? I don't think wiki is helping much.

False advertising is my guess.

they probably counted in dwarven as well, and had sets within apostrophes when they refered to 40 sets. you know, 40 'sets', nevermind that designers later say dwarven is not a 'set'.

41 sets BTW, 82 counting male/female.

10 Asuran
10 Deldrimor
10 Monument
10 Norn
1 Silver Eagle

Why is not Deldrimor (or Dwarven) a full armor for you? For me it is.

Straight from your wiki page on Deldrimor armor:
I ask again, where are those 9 armor sets?

To quote the wiki:

It consists of several stand alone pieces specific to the profession and is not considered an armor set.

As it is not considered a set, it cannot be added to the Hall of Monuments.


So there's not 41 sets.

From Gaile (when asked about Dwarven armor not being a set):

On the official wiki user talk page here.

It's officially not a set. May not be false advertising as I mentioned, since it is often worded as "40 new armor sets, including rare, stand-alone pieces" or something to that affect - but it is highly misleading. We all thought we were getting 40 new "sets," only to find out we got 31, with some mish-mash pieces and other common armor.

So, dwarven armor wasn't designed? it fell of the sky? I mean, if developers design 4 sets per profession, that is 40 sets, no? doesn't matter if you can't buy all pieces in one NPC.

But it's not an armor SET, as the pieces don't make up a set. They are random armor PIECES, which is clearly different. Even so, they advertised 40 new armor sets, not 31 sets, almost all of which are reskins.

Still, wheter Dwarven is counted as a "set" or not, the same amount of time was put into creating them as the other GW:EN armor (which is to say, not much). Whether you define it as a set or not, Dwarven is still ~80 new armor pieces (4 pieces per profession, 10 professions, male and female versions = 80 + however many classes have unique headgear x 2).

Its not really false advertising per say. Dwarven armor may not be a "set" but when seen next to all the other GW:EN armor, neither is Asuran, Norn, or Vanguard

The difference is that most dwarven armours when worn as a set look like it was thrown together, meaning that you look like you were very tired when you got dressed and that you cannot put it in your HoM because it is not an armour set.

Well they did say 40 new sets including stand alone pieces...I always did wonder what they meant with that and here we have it.

most of us define 'set' by it being displayable in HOM (elite sets anyway). Dwarven armor cannot be displayed and each piece is named differently. Plus some professions have missing pieces (ranger arms etc) while some just look wrong placed together (assassin, according to many). it has even been confirmed to be not a set from gaile. all these make them standalone pieces, not part of the 40 sets.

We have a winner.

I have the EOTN box in my hand RIGHT NOW, and it clearly says "40 new armor sets". False advertising kthx.

Guess they got it wrong with the numbers, A.net and plenty of large companies say one thing and delivery another.

Lets keep this chilled now, don't want to have to delete or close yet another flame fest ^^ But yes there doesn't seem to be 40 armour sets.

This reminds me of when Faction's was released and AB servers weren't working even though one of the main advertisements on the box was the new 12 vs. 12 alliance battles. Don't be surprised if HM isn't introduced in EotN for another month or 2.

Oh well, nothing we can do after they have our money. Bye Anet hope you get enough of your player base to go to GW2. GG?

Oh! I get the point now!! so ArenaNet just needs rename the "dwarven" parts with the same name for make it an armor set (10 seconds job) and add the armor code to HoM armor list (5 seconds job).

And then every complainer will be happy, and the false advertising will disappear instantly?

Nah, dont worry, they'll find another point to whine about

Since an 'armor set' is not defined it can be anything that Anet says is an armor set.
