I have never spent much time on this particular forum, so I apologize if this has ever been suggested before, I did do a search and found nothing.
Since anet has allocated pretty much all of its resources toward the development of GW2 and we are not getting any truly new content for GW1, people are looking for new challenges within the framework of the existing game. This is evident when u see people doing fast clears of UW, FoW and eotn dungeons. Another trend I have noticed is that people are pimping out their heroes with elite weapons (my guild leader put a tormented shield and a voltaic spear on his Tahlkora for example). Since the concept of different hero armor already exists in this game, I suggest taking this one step further by making FoW armor remnants periodically pop from the end chests of UW and FoW. This seems very simple to implement since the armor design already exists, just put the armor NPC's in ToA, Zin Ku and Chantry. The "elite" status of fow armor could be maintained by making the drop rate a low percentage or making it so that a number of remnants would be needed for a set of armor instead of just one remnant.
I think this is quite doable, what do you all think?
FoW armor remnants for heroes

Seems a good idea to me actually. Although, maybe one peice per person every time they open the end chest? Seems more reasonable, so people don't just 600/smite farm the peices for uber cash.

I think its a good idea and also not so great. Good for people that have core (meaning they have all games, I think 
) But for the people that just own the first guild wars and/or just factions, its only pointless. I mean they could sell but most people probebly dont care about what their heros look like. Also it would bring down the chance of getting OB sword and other rare weapons/materials. I am kinda making it sound like I do not want this to happen, just saying what others may be thinking. Actually:

I doubt I'll bother getting them, but for those who will, I'll /sign it, since it is a good idea, in my opinion.
Don't like them. Let them do without. One's racist, another's a giant walking cat with bad voice acting, and the last one is also racist.

i really really like this idea i think it would be great if heroes could have fow armor, they should make it a drop from the fow end chest! There are so few groups for fow now this would definelty spark an interest. I love the fissure of woe <3, always have and would like to see more fow farming groups there

My heroes have different armors because of the HoM sttuf but and I i like the idea! 
However, I don't really think the devs will add any new content on game at this point of GW2 development...
anyway, it's

Just have it like all other elite places where the chest drops the remnant: Add the remnant as a drop from the chest, and keep the rates for the other stuff the same. Then again, SC's could screw this up. So it could just be an extremely rare end chest drop. Or maybe a rare quest reward chest drop (since they mostly drop junky purples...cept for crys) :/ For people that get it that don't have NF/EoTN, they can just sell it. I've seen people spamming "WTB armor for meh heroz." And for the other species, Anet can get a little creative, it wont hurt them.
Edit: In fact, maybe there would be a way to limit it so that people without heros wouldn't even have a chance of it dropping. Then, something like this could be added to The Deep/Urgoz.

It will never happen.
I will sign anyway , but only if it doesnt drop everytime you clear fow like some of the other people said here, make it like a rare drop that drops from the Woe chest and it will be nice.

Well, it would have to be done VERY carefully, otherwise you'd degrade FoW armor even more. I mean, if it only cost 5k to get FoW armor for a hero, it kinda defeats the point of you getting it for a few hundred.
I just don't trust a.net to make the drop rate low enough/don't trust the community to not flood the market with these
So /notsigned

Make the FoW dyed black and let heroes have mo zing masks and chaos gloves too. Better make the henchmen that way too! Gogo clones!

For all the people who don't like the idea, you are free to have your opinion. But flaming the opinion is just immature.
Not only could this give PvE'rs something else to look forward to, but since many people here have asked about the GW:EN Heroes and how it would look for them, ANet could make this into another Contest.
They've already had 'Design-A-Weapon' Contests, why not a 'Design Hero FoW Armor' Contest?
My 2 cents.

Something to standardise the hero armour for all campaigns would be good and everyone can gain from this - how have heroe's of course.
Hope Linsey read things here and sees this idea... tis cool

I like this idea, but the armors should be modified a little bit to fit each character and their personality. Having similar copies between heroes or even other players would look kinda boring and wouldn't be much of a worthwhile reward.

I would only go for this if the material requirements were lowered more like the other sets of 15K armour 105 ecto and shards is little to much if you want hero armour it should be the same.I don't have set on any of my charactors.
Charactor armour
35 ecto/shards for chest
25 ecto/shards for legging
10 ecto/shards for arms
10 ecto/shards for feet
That is more realistic.

Ummmm, I wasn't talking about using any materials for this. The idea was to have armor remnants pop from the end chests of FoW and UW, which would be given to an NPC in return for some shiny new FoW armor for your selected hero. In other words, the same deal as is done with primeval and deldrimor armor remnants.

Would be fun to have this for heros, and your post made sense, I would never pay anywhere near 35e for hero armor, much less 80e.. ;P
And honestly even little add ons like the ninja masks and chaos gloves would be no big deal to me. It's not like everyone has to see your heros, if someone wanted to do all that whatever ;P

Good idea, but i doubt they will make any changes for gw1 anyway. Most of them work for Gw2.
