"War in Kryta" Costume Set
Awex Mafyews
Pretty shocking update in my opinion. If I'm honest I'd rather Anet just went the whole hog and made the game a monthly subscription and get rid of these poor excuses for gaining funding for whatever they're planning on doing with the game and the series.

@Neo Nugget: US$6.99 for each costume by themselves actually, it is US$9.99 for the both till May 31.
Bought them, though I doubt I will wear the Mantle one that much (never really liked them before this, incentive to hate them increased thanks to the current in game story....) but still, helps the boys and girls working on GW2, so why not.
Sidenote: notice how these are released just in time for MantleCon 1080AE?

No need for hate. Just buy them or don't. I, personally, think they look like they were made in MS Paint, but that's my opinion.
If people buy them to feed Anet's staff changes, then awesome. I'm sure they need money to fund Linsey's Dawn of Discovery fetish, but unfortunately, I just don't see the appeal.

I'm really disappointed in the White Mantle costume. It's not the awesome golden white metal armor that Justiciars and Knights wear, but some crappy cloth robe. And the Shining Blade ones just look silly, but maybe it's the angle the promo pic is at.

Shining Blade looks ok. But like last time, not worth shelling out the $$ for. There are reasons I bought a free-to-play game...

My Ranger's Obsidian Armor totally beats those hands down. But then Ranger Obsidian Armor pretty much beats anything hands down.
If you don't like the costumes or don't care,*shrug* that's $10 of your money Anet won't be getting, you sure showed them! Oh wait that's $10 of your money they weren't getting anyways. Seriously at least they are trying, don't want to buy them then good for you not like anyone really expected anything else for this.

I don't like em and won't buy em. I recently bought a grenth costume (that one is rly awesome). And I really don't need more then 1 costume.. There is a reason we can buy armors right? 
I agree with that.

If the white mantle armor was the actually White Mantle PLATE armor, and the Shining blade had detail closer to Salma's new model, then definitely...but as of this point they look like complete shite
....i would like to see a sales record for these costumes, just to re-assure them this was a terrible move

Just noticing some players are just using the Shining Blade hood only. rofl I guess if you always wanted a hood with out playing a dervish now's your chance.

Sigh... I don't want to pay anymore for this game.
EDIT: Hey ANET! Call me back when you get some real content to offer. (Bonus Missions, *hint hint*)

I can hardly see how giving players the OPTION to purchase costumes if THEY FEEL LIKE IT, that do not effect anything but how people look, negatively effects the game.

Dunno just never been a fan of all the "flare" that other armors seem to sport. Obsidian is sleek and shiny, just don't dye it pure black and it looks good.

I hope this warinkryta doesnt become merely an ad campaign for purchasing optional items for looks. A small expansion would be much much better.

Do these have the same little issue that almost every other set of armor and costume has had since EotN? I'm not a huge fan of glitter. (edit: Just checked a friend's and YEP! The edges glitter!)
I bought the wintersday costumes, but I probably won't be buying these. Totally not feeling the white mantle costume. The shining blade one looks a little better, but I like my armor better.

Hmm, maybe I shouldnt mention that in case the GW2 team are looking >.<some of my favourite armors are also some of the cheapest, but with many chars, I have a chance to try several styles ^.^

For all the haters that don't remember ALL of the rad stuff that got mplemented last year, allow me to recap:
Nicholas The Traveler(all of the stuff that came with him) Red Candy alone was enough to make this a great addition!
Zaishen Rewards
Zaishen Quests
Minipets like every year
I am sure I forgot some tings, but do any of you really, honestly think, that is all they will do this year for the 5th year? If you all have had it so much with ANET and GW in general, stop playing please. I have heard less Q.Q from 5 year olds at nappy time.

I was actually hoping for the actual white mantle warrior skins....
But now I don't have to switch between Assassin's Creed and Guild Wars!

Tons better than the grenth/dwayna stuff.

See should have sold the hoods by themselves for 2 bucks a pop. lol

2 things just crossed my mind:
1) it is a pity didnt segment the costumes when dying. you can only dye the helm and the body part, not dye gloves, top, bottom and boots like normal armor. would kinda make them a bit more interesting rather than all the same colour
2) the names. Shining Blade Uniform and White Mantle Disguise... Is there a deeper meaning here?

Must be tough times obliging the payrolls over there at anet. This is just me trying to justify such shenanigans and not wind up hating anet.

I honestly don't see why people are against this. They're selling costumes, not weapons/armor with better stats, titles or PvP maps. If you don't like them, don't buy them, it's not like you're missing out on something amazing.
Chronos the Defiler
Wasn't there a group of people who used to scour the GW.dat for new info? where did they go! there has to be something!
And in the Q&A with Daniel Dociu he said they had something like 70 artists alone (not including staff in engineering and development departments) so they need to pay em somehow...
I just thought they would have something more then this, it was new and exciting at Wintersday, but its same ol' this time around.

Conclusion: players will always side with the Shining Blade in future quests.

Now in case anyone needs some confirmation that the costumes aren't all they're doing, here you go.
