one thing I like about WoW is the fact that even though you are 70, you can still wear armor that looks different then another 70 of your same class.

but with guild wars, I see tons and tons of people with the 100% exact armor as me.

does anyone wish guildwars had more armor sets/pieces?

or even mob dropped armor pieces?


I know that GW is not WoW but I think wearable dropped armor pieces would be cool.

No, I don't wish there were more armor sets. And tons of tons of people with the exact armor as you? Why don't you get an other armor then?

Seeing you are a W/Mo, you have choice of 35 different armors.

And that are just the complete sets, as soon as you start to mix them you can get 1000+ variants, not to mention you can also dye them differently.

True, but remember you look like an idot if you take 1 piece of every armor (mostly) but i try to make some nice combo's, try it too.

It's not really such an issue because most of the time GW can be played like a single player game. And heroes and hench don't usually wear the same armour as I do.

BUT it's not like I'd say no to more armour. It would be a welcome addition BUT it's far from being needed.

Well, it's always fun with more armors, but like Arduinna said - there's tons of armors around. Plus you can mix pieces from different sets and dye the armor for a unique look.

as stated above, for the pargon and dervish, sure. but overall, no, i don't. mix-matching is fun.


here's an example of what i use for my 'sin.


this armor combo is:
1.5k Shing Jea Mask
15k Imperial Guise
1.5k Imperial Gloves
1.5k Imperial Leggings
1.5k Shing Jea Shoes

you would think that the armor set listed above looks as if it were a complete 1-kind set though, right? ^^ well, this just comes to show that you don't neccessarily need to add in more armor sets to have "more armor". there are countless combinations/posibilites. it's actually fun to see what you can up with, so, enjoy and have fun.

I wish there were the MISSING armor sets.

I mean, COMPLETE sets for all 10 professions.
Prophecies: No sets for A, D, Rt & P
Factions: No sets for D & P
Nightfall: Missing sets for A & Rt
EotN: Missing set for all profession but W. Uncomplete sets for some professions.

I don't want new armor art. I want the missing professions for armor arts that exist only for some professions.

Yeah, how come Prophecies didn't have armor for paragons? I mean wtf, it should've been there at release right?

They're not missing, they don't exist. There's a difference.

Id like to see some "better looking" armor....mostly for the caster classes.
Some of the armor looks pretty cool, then some dont.
Id like to see the necro get more "evil" looking armor.
Id like to see ALL the classes get "class specific" motion.
Example the warrior should run and stand in stance like a warrior, the necro should hunch over and just look menacing, the monk should get better looking monkish gear, robes etc etc etc....

But my main concern is char creation, always has been.
Males look awful, yea the female models are great, but males.....
Char creation needs some work.

On a more serious note from me:

I'd like to see more robes for casters, especially females, because girls in robes are cuter than the slutty armor most elementalists wear these days.

Hell yes. More variety & less repetition is good. Robes are definitely needed. The whole casters with shiny flaired shoulder armor is so bad..

I'm always in for more armor... what else do I do with my money? >_>.

Like the possibility of Dervishes having Luxon/Kurz/Canthan/Prophecies armor. I know it doesn't fit with the lore but I'm not really the one who cares for the lore so... suggestion that's been suggested over and over again, but will never be implemented.

Don't necessarily need more armor if it's going to be crap.
But I would appreciate sexier male armor and sexier male characters and sexier male NPCs.

They always look like old farts while females look like....

Yeah

I'd be happy with male armor showing guy's sexy V line at their hips. Yeah TY.

Yes /signed would like to see more armor sets and more weapon types like mace, morningstar, flail and rapier added to the game. And lots more skins, yes, 100's more skins for stuff already in the game.

I don't wish there was MORE armor.. just.. better armor. Who in the hell thought half this stuff looked good? IMO, anet needs to work a fashion consultant into their budget. Maybe a plastic surgeon, too.... some of those faces are hideous.

Id like the missing armor, that some have mentioned, like the kurzick and luxon D and P armor, or prophecies armor for all of the non core proffesions, or nightfall armor for Rt and A, and so forth.

I also wish they were just a bit more creative when designing armors, i mean EotN heroes have prettier armor than players, IMO. I would kill for the armor Anton wears.

I'm not sure what you are talking about but i've been playing for 2 years there and once you hit 70's most of the armor there is limited. At the top end of the armors which everyone strives for is there's only 2 sets and they are just dyed differently. If you get anything else they are just lower end armors. And having lower end armor really does affect your pve and pvp abilities ALOT, guilds won't even let you raid certain dungeons unless you meet a set of criteria. I'm glad gw has a armor/stats ceiling and the rest is cosmetic.

here's a quick example:

http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/items/armorsets/

if you choose "tier 5 raid" and "arena season 2" (that's what i had before i left) they are pretty much the highest end stuff you can get besides the tier 6 raid. Looking at it they are basically the same skin but different colour variations. To get any other armor below that would be gimping yourself if you had the choice. Most people are striving for the top and once they reach the top you are the clones or the other big guys.

So I find for "max" armor in gw there's actually ALOT more variations than wow which has only 1, since different colours is all you are getting if depending if you are pvp or pve oriented.

That's the point, IMHO. I doubt everyone plays for pure good looks - some want to be able to make bad-looking characters on purpose.

It would be nice to have atleast 2-5x more the variety of armors... I mean there are alot of armors in the game, but most are either regular armors that are just plain ugly, or the few elite armors that are ugly and not many want. Then there are the few armors that everyone wants because they are the best looking, and alot look that same. But yeah, everyone looks the same because everyone wants the coolest looking armor in the game for their profession, and there isn't many exceptional armors in my opinion.

My, since they exist, of course!

If something is in a game and it can be done or acquired, then it MUST be done or acquired!

It's completion! The driving force that pushes us towards the it!

I just mean that you are not restricted to one type of armor, I could wear plate, cloth, leather, etc. if my class could use it.

also, caster robes would be awesome.

and maybe some cooler looking weapons

I'd find Kurzick/Luxon armour for Dervish and Paragons nice. Otherwise, I'm not too fussy.

Anyhow, wasn't the Labyrinthine set a new addition of armour? It's not like they haven't done such a thing before.

More armor? Don't care.
More space for armor? HELL YES!

It is SAD Anet is working on GW2 and never solved the armours storage issues that we have. I know, people with one char and 9 mules will say that storage is fine but if you got 10 chars that actually need weapons, armours, etc storage is a huge issue.

Considering how much time and effort I'm spending on Prestige armor unlocks in the hall of monuments with just one character... no.

That aside, I'm happy with the fact I get 16 (for ele at least) different prestige sets, more if you consider the non-prestige armor. We were going to get more before Anet canceled the 6 month new campaign system to focus on gw2.
