Why does the Wars only get the Silver Eagle Armor!
It's like Professionism, It's Professionist!
Or their will be an Upcoming Set of these Armors^^.
Hey, Anet said 40 Armor Sets but their are missing 9 Armor Sets^^.
So is this the missing Armor Set?
Are they gonna Implement this soon^^?

Firstly, what are these missing sets of armor? Each profession, except the warrior has 4 armor sets; vanguard, asura, norn and dwarven. Even though the dwarven armor is not considered a set, it still has a piece for each body part = a set. If anything we have more than the promised amount of armor (not touching on the reskin topic) because of collector armor like gloves and masks etc.

Silver Eagle armor was made a little while back but was never implemented into the game. So instead of just wasting it, they put it in GW:EN. As far as anyone is aware, no new armor is coming.

Christ... read the wiki, or maybe the 3 other threads about this. Gaile said something to the effect of: "After completing the 40 'sets,' they found they already had a Silver Eagle set completed, and instead of denying the GW community a set of armor, they put it in."
Whether or not the other armors count as "sets" isn't certain (Dwarven isn't, at least), but I'd rather have Silver Eagle in the game rather than having it sit on some computer archives in the monkey hole of Anet HQ. It's not that good anyway, at least for girls.

Edit: Although, since Dwarven is not a set, they should give everyone another set, not necessarily a "Silver Eagle," though.

I understand what you're saying Chunter and you're probaby right, but it still feels a little unfair. And, although it's an armour that already existed, it still feels like its favouring the warriors out there.

I wouldn't be surprised if they were favoring warriors (even though the real reason was not to waste a perfectly good armor design). Heck, warriors are the most popular class, go to any town and watch the warriors argue :P Just look at the special statistics for the GWW. Warrior armor is the 7th most viewed page, no other specific profession armor has a slot in the top ten.

Nice research Jamison.
Warrior is the classic DnD brainless class. (no offense to any wars, but a lot just roll a war so they can hit stuff with sharp things) Its a good, safe class to start with so a lot of people stay with it. So, I guess if a large proportion of players play as a war, then its natural for Anet to favour them.

So, there are 41 armor "sets," and instead of saying that's nice, we were supposed to get 40, there are complaints that it's not good enough, you favor the warriors, blah blah blah. And people wonder why Gaile/Alex don't post as much.

QFT! And then you have SOME guys who don't quite get it and moan "where are the 40 new armor sets? I only see 4 for my wammo, Anet is teh sux!!"

People should appreciate that even though most of us have spent 1000+ hours in game, that the Anet team has spent 1000+ hours each CREATING the game so we can do this!!

No-one ever said that anet have screwed up with this, we all recognised that they've put tonnes of effort in. We never argued that the armour should be removed. Furthermore, seeing as the armour existed already and just hadnt been added, its not as if warriors (overall) have more armour.

All that is being said is that when we bought GWEN, in terms of armour, warriors gained more than other professions. full stop.

Is this why the silver eagle armor is denied from displaying in the hom?

Just for advice, you should get out of that mentality and you shouldn't generalize the class as a whole. Not only that but it sounds like you extremely bitter from all of this, I dont see why you can't just be happy that warrior got an the armour set.

By the way, most of the warrior armours suck in GW:EN as does for the rest of the classes.

Dreamrunner, Im not saying that every warrior is a silly wammo. Just saying that, in my experience, warriors tend to come under the brainless category more than, say, a mesmer.

Not all warriors are idiots, not all idiots are warriors.

No, we got 31 armor sets.

Warrior is the only one that got 4... and actually warriors get 5 armor sets from GW:EN

And if you did count deldrimore as a set, rangers didn't even get a full set. they should have counted "Set" as the game mechanics does in the HoM...

hmm... I actually said: "No offense to any wars, but a lot just roll a war so they can hit stuff with sharp things."

Would you argue that only a few roll a war so they can hit stuff with sharp things?

I never insinuated that ALL warriors are brainless, neither did I insinuate that MOST warriors are brainless. I said that a lot of the brainless players out there are warriors.

Anyway, sorry if there was a misunderstanding, I don't want to argue on an online forum, its pointless.

Actually I could argue that a few warriors go hammer and like to smash things.
But other than that, from what you said it seems to rub off as degrading by saying its a good and safe class to start of with and that from your experience that warriors you've grouped with being 'brainless'.

They could add the missing gloves for many professions. They cannot be added to HoM nor do most armors work with the odd gloves. But I forgot, they are working on GW2 and already got our money. My fault. Sorry.

I can't really see how they're gonna maintain the servers, fix all the bugs that got introduced with GWEN (it always happens. There's almost no way to release a software product that is completely bug free), work on an entirely new game, and pay all their staff with almost no more revinue coming in for the next two years. Sure, people will still buy the original campaigns and GWEN, and buy additional character slots, but I can't see that as being enough. Why else would they be experimenting with the bonus missions? They're trying to increase their funding (in this case, they wanted to create an incentive to use the online store, so that all money goes to them, and they don't have to spend as much on packaging and shipping and all the rest).

So, as I see it, I think we can expect some mini expansions and other stuff added to the game. Hard mode for GWEN will be coming in one or two months, along with the bonus missions in November. I don't think those will keep people playing for two years while GW2 is released. I doubt Anet wants everybody to move on to other games and forget about the GW franchise. Maybe we can look forward to some sort of armour expansion pack?

Or maybe I'm just a nutter. I could be completely wrong about everything I just said. But I can still hope...



Yep, definitely a nutter :P

I can't believe that people are arguing that they want that crappy looking armor to be conformed to their professions.

Wow.. I guess I'll back warriors in this thread.. Thanks Ghost Omel, but I don't think your post is going to help. Eek.

And for whomever says that Mesmer players are "smarter" than warrior players. Please, do elaborate. The classes are different and require a different style of playing. I don't see how you can compare warrior players and mesmer players. My main is a warrior, but I also play a mesmer.

As for the Silver Eagle armor, I understand why those of other classes want their own set of Silver Eagle for their respective classes, but to be honest, how do you think the set will look compared to the rest of the GW:EN armors? I mean, there are quite a few people who have complained about the reskinned armor and the fact that only warriors have Silver Eagle. Hey, what happens if they do implement a Silver Eagle for the other classes and it turns out to be another reskin? Chaos erupts.

Translation For Ghost Omel's Post:


I'm a Warrior Speaking here, I have never been any other profession.

Hammer warrior/ Axe= a weapon that it pretty strong the last time I checked.

Hitting things with pointy sticks (Swords??) I can counter that pretty easily.

Bows = Using a big stick with a string shooting arrows.

Assasins = They use 2 daggers to poke their opponents.

Mesmer and Elementalists = Whatever. They use glowing puffs to puff (damage) their opponent.

Monks= You dudes are awesome I can't say anything but THANK YOU.

Dervish = They use a "hue stick" with a pointy curved end.

Paragons= Sorry dudes I respect you and all, but, throwing a spear is cool, but sorry I like being tough. But, not that but you're cool, you're cool. (Tried my best here)

Ritualist= I dont know what your weapon is, a bucket or what? (I think he's referring to the ritualist offhand, a ceremonial cauldron)

Necromancer = Dudes no one is as good at using curses than yourselves, and no one is better than you guys at being a minion master. Then you get no complaints, only respect.

Warrior/monk I agree is the easy way to go that is why I didn't become a W/Mo. If you want a real challenge forget about a W/Mo and choose a different secondary, because there is no skill needed to be a paladin.

I believe I made the same point as some of you did about warriors and defended us in some way. Not all warriors are smart but heck, no matter how dumb you are if you are a warrior you can do serious damage and take lots of punishment (damage).

In conclusion, no warriors, no frontline, no frontline, no "push", no victory and your dead. Enjoy

Omel you win an award for the worst spelling in a post ever.

I don't really care that they didn't add all the armor they were suppose to, and counted armor they didn't even count as a set..as a set. Nor do I mind the fact that all of the armors are reskins in someway. I do hope though, that they can add more armor sets in sometime before now and Christmas. That'd be great, because in 1 year they'll be worthless seeing as GW 2 is coming. With Anets timing though we can expect HM and new armors (if that even happens) in 12-15 months.

Gaile said they are adding it with HM but it will have a special animal for each profession.

Ranger = teddy bear
Monk = dairy cow
Necro = angry goose
Dervish = horse complete with a butt part that another person can walk in
Mesmer = mackerel

I don't know the rest but I'm sure they are equally cool. Also if you get 4 or more players in Special Animal Armor it's said you can do the carebear stare out of your chests.
