"War in Kryta" Costume Set
Apok
While we are on the topic of things to come to April, is there a chance we can get a peak of what to expect from the skill updates this month?
Xsiriss
They made me chunder,everyyyyywhere.
Shoulda been in-game content and the very least. Some real armour woulda been swell,seeing as y'know they've not bothered with skill updates.AGAIN.
Do they honestly think we'd rather have this,than a skill update? Especially when they're clearly not gonna make that much from these...they could at least re-design them so they don't suck.

Not quite what I meant, I was more referring to "Paid Content", such as what happened at wintersday, the costumes were new and exciting, as well as designed well, but this time around they are rather bland...and its the same ol "pay 9.99 for costumes...just like last time" type of thing

Anyway, I have no beef either way on the micro stuff, I just dont like these two costumes is all

I bought the pair to support ANet, and I must say, they look WAY better in-game than in the pictures. I keep my graphics on max with AA, but the pictures definitely made me reconsider buying...
In any case, take a peek at some of the people in GToB with KSMod for high-res textures and get a good look before judging if you like them or not.

Yes, I mentioned last week that we would give you a preview of the next skill balance, and that the designers are working on play balance update right now.

I don't have any problem with this update... I won't be buying the costumes, they don't give anyone any advantage, so I don't give a crap.
Really, to me, it's as if there was no update. No big deal. lol

Wow its amazing again we have costumes that could of easily been implemented as part of EOTN but instead we got rehash/beta armor of existing designs.
Amazing how the designs get alot of variation/creative when anet stick a 9.99 price tag on them.

Well as everyone has a choice..buy or not thats up to you.
I bought them and so what, makes no diff to me wether some like them or not.
My choice... entirley nobody forces you to buy or not

I love how quick everyone is to jump on the complaining bandwagon:
"QQ, Anet you give us nothing!"
or
"wahh! This update sucks!"
You know what? I bought the costumes to help out the people at Anet. They do really good work and made an excellent game. I don't care if you think the game is old or out of date or whatever you want to think, I enjoy the game, as I have for the past several years. I have no problems paying for items if it goes to support them in making GW2. I hope they keep coming out with more content like this.
Regina even said that this wasn't the end of it, so we can expect to see more. Plus I want to see how this War in Kryta story pans out.
Keep up the good work.

but you dont have the decency to post the whole thing that i said. I asked if anyone honestly believed that this was the ONLY thing released for the 5th year. It obviously isn't, but people are still QQ'ing as if we already have the minipets for this year and all the decorations have been taken down. Next time you quote me, don't pull a FoxNews and get only the part that makes your argument out to be good, when you don't have an argument to begin with.

You are the one without the argument and "decency" has nothing to do with it. The thread title was about the Costume Sets, not about whether it was the only thing to be released for the 5th year.
Xsiriss
PS The whole money making thing is BS. As said previously,to fund GW2 there will be inestments and such whilst with GW1 it's basically just keeping the staff around and keeping them on their toes for GW2. The same rules that apply to all those one purchase games that make the big $/£'s,it's that simple.
aznkda
Just brought the costumes, looks alright.
other than that, I hope there's new content other than costumes...
anet, hurry up with the new content!
Back to playing SC2 =D

However, what I do have a problem with, is the fact that the White mantle costume has SEVERE clipping issues, worse than many that I have seen in guild wars. I have worn the cloths on my male elementalist and as soon as I started dancing, my clothes started going through my legs, and to be honest, it looked quite painful.
I haven't checked this out on other characters yet, and so I don't know if there are other clipping issues but I respect the work ANET has done and the effort made to make these costumes, but I think it would be great just to get rid of the bugs and clipping issues like this and things to be checked before people pay real money for things. Especially if its something that is available for any character to wear.

As usual, 90% of the posters are the VVW (Very Vocal Whiners). Most of the people who will buy the costumes don't feel the need to come to a forum and mention it. By the way, I bought the costumes. The purchase helps support my favorite game company and adds something fun to the game. A Win-Win in my book.

Man, it really annoys me how much GW1Guru cries. I don't want to know what your lives are like, probably filled with misery.
JDRyder
Meh say what you want I actually liked the shining blade one

To be honest, I don't care what happens so long as I can continue doing vanquishes and cartography without dealing with extra foes like "the new" Nebo Terrace.
Costumes, good for some, not for me. I don't need to look great to be great. Anyone who bases someone's skill and ability based on an outfit is truly depressing.
Remember, ArenaNet, some of us have never vanquished every single location yet, so try not to make it harder just because a lot of people have managed to do so already. You're only making it harder for those who didn't rush into completing everything in under twenty seconds if you decide to do what Nebo Terrace is now.
Nonetheless, from what I've heard so far, there are more minuses than pluses in terms for the new costumes, both those who bought and didn't buy. Of course, nearly everyone complains, but this is general dislike for a few good valid reasons.

white mantle ones dye better than the blade ones, but now my mules have something else to wear

I was really hoping for the same. But at least my ranger gets a hoodie. Overall I still like the looks of the costumes. I think they look better on female characers though.
Im happy to spend $10 on the hurry up and release GW2 fund.
Neo Nugget
That Shining Blade costume you posted looks infinitely better than the ones shown on the website, Cosy. *votes for a replacement*
The White Mantle disguise still looks "OK".

Can't say I'm surprised that they turned out to be costumes.
I've always liked the White Mantle armours in-game, and I was considering buying their costume here, but something about it I don't like. I agree with the sentiment that they look too "clean". And I really hate the way the cape wraps around the shoulders/front like that. It just makes everything look ginormously bulky and the heads look...overwhelmed.

If you can't afford to buy the costumes then don't whine and moan about it. Be thankful that there are people who can buy them and will (and that you don't have to pay a subscription fee to play this game). How long have you guys been playing this game and how long ago was the last time you paid Arenanet for anything to do with Guild Wars?
If you can't afford such things that's ok. However, a lot of you seem to act like you don't think that Guild Wars is even worth paying for at all so to you all I have to say is get out. Maybe some time in the brain grinder that is the typical MMO will knock you down a few notches and bring things into context.
The 5th anniversary hasn't even come yet. This is obviously a pre-emptive update to allow people to have the costumes for the faction they want to "support" when the major update for this war in kryta comes out(or at least I would figure). How can you guys not realize there will be more added before the month is up?

I'd love if they redid more zones like this. Much more exciting than "kill three tengu, walk, kill three tengu, walk, kill two ettins, etc."
So there you go.

Nice costumes. But as said before, not 9.99 nice. Maybe they're 5.00 nice.
Id rather spend that coin on some crazy steam promotion instead.
BTW in eager to see how this GW Beyond thingie will roll. New pvp mods? new elite armors ?more mini missions? One can only hope. More lore is always welcome, I want to support more the game, cash-wise, but Im not paying 9.99 for costumes again.
C'mon ANet, you can pack more punch than that. Give us more useful things to buy.

I don't like the costumes, but Guild Wars can have $20 if they want it. I, for one, am still happy they keep this game and GW2 free-to-play.
Don't like it? Don't buy it.
Like it and/or want to support ANet/GW2? Buy it.
Though I wish they took a different approach on the costume designs. But they were successful in making the Mantle Costume look gawd-awful... Just like every other Mantle costume in-game. :P
Still. Mantle rulez.

I really like the Blade costume, especially dyed. The Mantle one though...is horrible, mainly for females. The shoulders are way too bulky imo.
FengShuiDove
Unexpected update, fairly expected content. I'm sure there's more brewing.
My only hope: the costumes aren't required for further "optional" quests that everyone will want to do. THAT, gentlemen, would be a scam.

Bought it, partially with the purpose of supporting ANet. Using the Shining Blade Hood and White Mantle body in blue on my main:

The good thing is that the costumes seem like a few steps up and more from the Grenth/Dwayna regalias.
The bad thing is that they still don't impress me enough that I'm going to shell out money for them. A big part of that is the difference between how they appear in-game and how they looked as concept art on the War in Kryta page. If the costumes we got were armor sets, the concept art versions would be elite in comparison. I'm even moreso disappointed in how the Shining Blade version came out in comparison to the concept. The costume just doesn't seem to give off that dark kind of feel that I got from the concept, and doesn't look like it would dye the same way. Also, having been looking at the concept and now looking at the costume, it appears that they are somewhat mirror images, which makes the costume look even less so appealing to my eye. But hey, it's concept art. This stuff happens.
Oh well. I'm sure my spirits will pick back up as more of the other content is released, and as the Birthday Celebration draws closer. I'm ready for another round of RBR.

Dont buy this shit, GW is broken and there is countless forums about it, Only buy this shit when Anet decide to treat existing GW members with some level of respect and fix this old dog.
WTB skill update not Shitty Costumes !!!!

In all honestly, I like the designs. However their promo illustration sux lol, they should consider an example similar to the one posted earlier in this thread. That's more white mantle like. Unless they wanted to sell a white mantle costume without it looking like white mantle.
Also clipping issues is a 'no go' when you offer limited content like this for that price.
We're not charity workers, we're customers.
Good content (price/quality) doesn't need the line 'Get yours now!'

I like the costumes, and am happy to fork over the cash for them, although I prefer SB to the WM, mainly because the cape clasp on the female WM disguise is way out of proportion.
We're getting the same whines about micro-transactions we had at wintersday. As others have said, if you don't want the costumes, or don't want to fork out cash, don't buy them.
Staff have indicated there's more to come from the War in Kryta and beyond, such as Martin's teaser comment earlier in this thread, or Linsey's recent Gamespot interview (http://uk.gamespot.com/pc/rpg/guildw...ml?sid=6258414)

Bought em, but grumbling about it. I feel like I'm being sucked dry 9.99 at a time. On one hand, I'm happy to continue supporting the game. On the other, minor content updates used to be free...
