How about another use for obby shards besides fow armor?
If you make them jet-black with high shine (something with a mimic to a wingcrest maul dyed black) would look pretty nice in my opinion, and should match the general player-base of black dyed armor.
discuss
Obsidian Gauntlets

Or anet can hold a weapon contest like last time except this time introduce a new weapons crafter and use the weapons that won for the crafter and we can use shards for that

cool, I like it...
ehm, yah

i love the idea, but if they weren't gonna make us armor for the War In Kryta stuff, I doubt we will see anything like this.
/signed for your thought though.

As I have stated in previous threads, I am all for Anet making more armor/weapons but if they do so, I really think that it should be a more common or easier to get armor/weapon. We dont need more high end "stuff" for people to show off epeen with. If it costed like 10ish obby shards + 20ish of another rare material and 50ish of a common material, then i would be for it but we dont need it to cost 75 or 80. Chaos gloves already exist for the epeen purpose, so if they were to implement another shard-costing armor, it should be within reach of casual PvEers.

But any new armor/weapon would be good for the game, so /sign. It'd be nice to have more FoW/UW ones too.

i think they should make "storm gloves"
kinda like choas gloves, kinda like a stormbow... electric fields basically interacts with things you hold (ie weapons ect)

/signed. I was delighted to see a suggestion that was actually good!
If they implemented this, there would be no way to please everyone regarding whatever price they command. IMHO, if the cost was on a par (or close) to the price of Destroyer Gauntlets, it wouldn't be unreasonable. If they were priced up there with Chaos Gloves, they probably wouldn't be worth it.

A rather good suggestion, although i really like the obsidian weapons idea too.
Also, you guys seem to be missing the point of prestige armour/weapons, you're supposed to have to spend that little bit extra time playing to be able to afford it...thats why they're classed as they are. 'Prestige'. I
f the designs were well done (contests as suggested ism to me a great idea) then id be all for paying that bit extra.

@Tobi: casual players do not have the time to waste that they'd want to farm 30 hours (and that's a very conservative estimate) for JUST a pair of shiny gloves.

make it look kinda like a NO SKIN showing black glacial gauntlets...if i dye it red i want it like the muursat jade statues that have the animated shine on it... the red ones...when u kill marcus they bust open into real jade!

Also, I'd rather weapons that are priced appropriately so that they would be worthy of being put in the HoM. I don't particularly care about special gauntlets.

i would see your point, if shards were over 2.5k - but they are fairly cheap.

There are allready so many affordable armour/weapons in the game. I like special ones, not those that everyone is wearing/using.
Really hope they change this in gw2, unique weaps and armour is a must.

People who read forums are not "casual" and its a poor way to extrapolate anything from the player base
Lithril Ashwalker
imho guild wars 2 should have it where u can make your own armor depending on what materials u have in your inventory, much like a concoction that u drink and take a risk on...if that makes any sense...or a design your own armor for a so and so price...cant explain it.

I'm all for new content but don't think this would be the best use of dev's time. More BLA type events would get/keep more people playing than a new set of gloves.

If you want to show off how rich you are make it a expensive. If you want diversity make it cheap so people buy it on looks rather than epeen.

Could also do something with this that works the materials that are rarely ever used such as Spiritwood Planks.
I've been on both sides of the spectrum from a casual player at start to an elite pve-er.
Money is very easy to get when u collect everything you pick up. eventually after a few hundred (or thousand) of those 150g items or 75g items, you can add up to quite the sum of money.
Having obi glove idea would provide more than one use for obi shards in the game, giving them a value to the people that don't want to have to get all the ecto for obi armor.

most of these reward gloves end up looking like shit and not matching anything... just please let the fugliness die.

yeah...why not storm gauntlets that look like storm daggers/Amber Gauntlets/Jade Gauntlets? how about Onyx Gauntlets? jeebus
