How on EARTH is that overrated??? You're only giving your own opinions on wether you like the way it LOOKS or not, but that, imo, is NOT an argument to say it's overrated. Overrated and personal taste are two entirely different things here! I LOVE my warrior's FoW armor. There are many more armors I like, from 1k to 15k to Obsidian. As all armors have the SAME stats, NONE can be overrated. You only pay for the looks, and THAT is a matter of personal taste. So stop the nonsense in this topic allready! Overrated would be some skill that is hard to acquire, but really doesn't give you any significant advantage in the game. I can't think of any, as the Kurzick/Luxon PvE skills require some Faction farming to get, but DO give you a nice advantage imo. Some might think those overrated, but I like them. Saying PvE skills are overrated would be a good argument here, but I'd disagree as I see the advantage of most of them. Overrated is NOT armor that is more expensive to get, becasue they are ALL the same except looks. Got it now? /rant. |
Also, how is Black dye overrated? Is it a crime that black is a good looking color for many people?
Most of you guys would probably argue that you would be paying too much for the same item with different skin. Sorry, blame Anet for its crap variety and "balanced mentality". Mods for items are so bland and boring that there is absolutely no variety. Seriously, they need to hire people with some inspiration. Its too easy to get a "maxed out item" or "perfect" item that there is no other way to judge the value of the item. All "perfect" items would cost the same. The result? item pricing is based on skin.
Why not make PvE entirely separate from PvP? PvE can be all out while PvP can still be balanced.

The same goes for Chaos Gloves and Destroyer Gauntlets (minus the dye). Dragon gauntlets hardly ever look good though, which is a shame, as they could have been nice, if they were smaller. |
never thought it can go well with necro

Why not get the same stat armor for only 1k? Most people on here try to act like they are the police... differentiating between what looks good and what does not.

If you like FoW, get it, just don't think having it makes you good. It's the same with Chaos Gloves, Dragon Gautlets, most people in PvE get the idea that grinding makes you the best.

You just don't need those HSR and HCT mods or the extra energy when you're not casting.
(weapon sets in this screen are 40% HCT prot staff of enchanting for aegis and/or guardian, shield and sword set for +60 health and +8 armor, 40/40 Healing set, and a 72 energy high-set).
edit: it also doesn't hurt that I sometimes get to run 14prot/10df/9 tactics, so i meet the reqs on my shield for a full 16 armor, or that some people have q7 tactics shields.

In my opinion:
Most overrated Title: Slayer of All / Holy Lightbringer. These seem to be two of the most common titles I've seen. It's like people think it's good cause it's max but really if they were the only two titles I had on my character I wouldn't show them.
Most overrated character look: Kind of a Big Deal/Chaos Gloves/Funny headpeice of some sort/EotN armour (Even though I have a Blindfold ^^; ). There seems to be a rise in character that look like this. Orr! Male Warriors with Black Obsidian and a Tormented Sheild and Sword
Most overrated armor: Well ofc Obsidian. At a certian point any Obsidian wearer that is wary of how their character looks notices that maybe Obsidian isnt the best to wear. I keep my Rit's in storage all the time, haven't really changed from Norn since I got it.
Most overrated Weapon: Tormented Sheild. It seems like everyone has one or a Tormented Sword. What ever happend to the Axes or Spears! (I have a Spear since no one has them and people are suprised to see them) Infact what about a Tormented Maul! Hammers may not be that good sometimes but I've only ever seen 1 and that was in PvP.

The Ninja Mask is overrated. People don't even care if monks don't dress like ninjas - it's just more way to show off their purchased gold.
Konig Des Todes
Braggars, plain and simple, you show something off that anyone can eventually get, your near the lowest of the low, especially for Bambi, and FoW+Chaos gloves+bandana *why do people even ike the bandana? it makes you look like a pathetic gangster wannabe*. I don't care if you have something, but don't show it off like your better then others because you have it.

It is conceivable that you don't like FoW armor or chaos gloves. It is a matter of opinion. Some people like them,however; and like to show them off.
Just like in real life, u can pay 15k for a Chevy and be invisible to others; or pay 300k for a Ferrari and turn heads where ever you go noone will force you to do either.
Which armor you buy is really your choice.

wammo FoW+ Chaos Gloves. It jujst looks odd having armor end above the elbow, then 10cm down have glowy hands. The combo doesnt flow very well IMO.

The male top - interesting - and not necessarily in a bad way.
The male shoes - ... there is no god ...

I actually like Chaos Gloves on female dervishes with white Vabian armor

I think armors are for personal taste, I like some FoW styles and some I don't. The EotN special gloves/masks are okay if you like them. Buying any armors/weapons skins not because you like it but just to show off is absolutely lame. Just get what you like, the hell with what internet strangers think of your character.
Most titles don't impress me...PvE ones are grind-based...just shows you had time to burn. Bambis who flash constantly and talk down to "PvE scrubs" (even though they are just "PvP scrubs") are probably the ones who annoy me most.

Title = Slayer of all
Weapon = Tormented Sword (seriously who wants to beat someone with a potato peeler)
Armor = Black Obsidian (all classes) and Ninja Masks (Seriously why give the narutards more reasons to give assassin bad rep)
Accomplishment = "OMG I JUST CLEARED FOW AND GOT A CRAPPY R12 (insert rare skin)!"

Most overrated thing in the game in general: low req weapons. Seriously, it doesn't matter if the sword is r8 or 13. If you have less than 13 you shouldn't be using a sword anyway! Sure, I can understand where it matters: on daggers and (rarely) on bows, but there's no good reason a r8 sword should be worth less than 13.

Tricky one..
I say the "I haz de monays nub!" title gets my vote.
Yah, not everyone has it so simple to farm when they chose their proffesions. As a paragon, I don't see myself going into almost ANY groups, even if I ran SY! 24/7, they would be like one of the people when i asked if i could join, "No.Nub.Paras suck." Yah, this is about 99.99999% of the community.

try to find a q7 drop? haha yeah u cant.
Nothing is overrated really, just get what you like. if you like ninja monks, then go for it. if u dont like it dont hate, perhaps someone may say "eww your armor combo sucks and is fugly!!!" u never know.
VitisVinifera
well, I won't claim to have the definitive answer, just some personal opinions
overrated title: sweet tooth. I'm not ashamed to say I bought my way through this. At least alc title involves a lot of waiting and timing.
overrated armor: ninja mask. 100g/per for charr carvs is hella cheap, I got a stack just by playing through the game with a half dozen toons (as in never farming), and if you really want them, pay a CoF runner and afk it.
overrated skin: definitely the elemental sword. I farmed raptors till I got one, then equipped it and just said 'meh'. It's simply not interesting. Maybe if it were glowing and animated.
overrated accomplishment: obviously, DoA, ala ursanway.
the irony is I've bought the sugar title, sold countless charr carvs (never traded for mask though), farmed 4 elemental swords (well, those were the icing, mostly going for mods and event items) and done probably 20 ursanway DoA full runs.
edit: wanna QFT JONO's post. Wammos in black dyed fissure with chaos gloves is plain ugly, it just looks totally wrong, plus you know the mentality that went behind that choice.

Anything Tormented, since most duped item on the block was an arm brace.
I still say ANet should just reduce the collection requirement to 1 set of gems per item.

Anything to do with PvE is overrated.
PvP titles are overrated.
Mastication is also overrated. soup = ftw
The only things that are worthy of notice are a true sense of style (black warr FoW + Chaos Gloves =/= style kthx) and true player skill.

No armor...No title...No Achivement is overrated...for those of you that think FOW is overrated ur just jealous cuz u dont have it not shut up same for titles
Kook~NBK~
Overrated skin: Gotta agree with the Ele sword. I got one drop for me, took one look at it and thought "Who would want to be seen with this butt-ugly thing?" and merched it.
Title: The one that the wearer is openly bragging about.
Armor: What one person sees as fugly, another may love. (Female Mesmer FoW is ugly??? - what's up with that. LOL) So what gets my "Overrated" vote in this catergory is straight black dye

But on a few professions FoW armor looks great, and some people don't give a rip if you think they're awesome, they're gonna buy the armor they like. Titles are the same way. Are there people that are just going to hammer out as many titles as possible to look cool? Absolutely. Are there people that actually want to display what they personally consider an in-game accomplishment? YES. Criticizing what people like based on what you think is the epitome of thinking that YOU'RE 1337. "My opinion is true, and by extension all FoW armor and titles are teh gay." Get over yourself. I think Guild Wars is a wholly better balanced game than most as far as economy - statistically and skillfully, someone with barely enough cash to buy max armor and max weapons can hang with anyone. Whatever it takes to mark your accomplishments is what makes it role-playing. You are what you make yourself. |
