WTB UW Armor
Kelfer
An idea, cos FoW armor is so horribad.
Please create this immediately, if not sooner.
I know there's lots of leet armor around, but I refuse to get FoW armor for my
HoM, so that's gonna stay 49/50
Note: Couldn't find a similar thread anywhere

Be more specific would it be different mats or just different looking either way I don't really see the need of another additional set of armor. I dislike most obby armors as well but I got it even though I barely use that toon anyways.

I like all the fow armors. Especially male warrior. I have the full set myself. I like the theme.
I hate the looks of all those destroyer weapons though and I'm not going to get any of those, ew.
Like dried poop with red stuff on it
an UW option would be nice, but theme would probably be ghostly, don't like that much :/

sounds like you are broke and desperately want to finish your HoM but can't afford it so you are looking for a cheaper solution

A'net have been coming up w. some neat costumes lately and my original thought was that this could also be added to HoM as an alternative to FoW.
Flowing robes, mean looking headpiece, that sort of thing. I'm not a designer, so perhaps someone can conjure up some ideas here. We have Grenth and Wedding stuff already, so another route pls
Re: Mats, Silk perhaps and blasted Fur which I have in store, but no use for apart from Norn stuff.
There's such an enormous range of them! Just make the thing cost ca. 200K + a few bits and bobs

No, far from it, I just despise FoW stuff and I'm frustrated that there is no alternative, cost could be the same as FoW stuff !!
Thanks for moving this admin

yes as long as it will have same costs as fow armour and it will be an alternative in hom calculator to fow armour
but this will never happen

anyway this is my last post on this forum, i retire from here as i did from official gw wiki and gwpvx, the reasons are the same in all 3 cases.

if the mats will stay the same then I can sell my ectos for triple the price since everyone will rush to get it

Don't see any reason why not. A'net has said last major update is Derv.
No word on things like this, which would be a boost to the lagging economy,
specially ectos, muwaahahahaah

/signed - Another armor option isn't a bad thing.
BUT:
The cost would have to be on a par with the cost of FoW armor,
There would be no guarantee that they'd be any "better looking" than FoW armor.
The title "Legend of the Mists" sounds much cooler than "Champion of the Gods." So getting 50/50 is kind of a waste of time. (It's why I don't have 50 mini-pets)

Obsidian armor is both UW's and FoW's.
You get the ectoplasm mostly in UW, and the obsidian mostly in FoW.
If they ever have resources left for a new armor set, I'd rather have them complete existing sets for the professions that can't get them all, starting with the Elite Kurzick and Luxon armors for Dervish and Paragon.

Would be nice but I don't see it happening
imo obsidian armor should have been shards saphs and rubies since it almost has no relation to ecto besides the banshees. Just doesn't seem right

I think you could maybe do a spin off of the the current model or armor. I think either the ghostly or possible something with the greenish effect the Dhumm Scythe has would seem most logical but not into either of them. I would greatly prefer more playable content than bling but that is just me. I could see something happening in the future especially with some of the amounts of ectos being stored.
Bright Star Shine
I'd like new armor, and the ghostly theme sounds cool-ish. Only problem, they can do it very, very good, or make it fugly like some of their sets. If they pull it off: sure.
jazilla
@OP: You will have to suck it up because we could all say that about minis, weapons, any armors used in the HoM. Buy some FoW armor and be done with it

Kelfer
spend all that time / money on armor I'm going to reduce back to ectos?
No way bro

i always had the thought of chaos armor... essentially like chaos gloves but it covers your whole body.... wouldnt be too hard i think to implement...and it would use ectos that are from the UW(i never got why they didnt add the chaos guy to the UW, what does a dwarf need with 75e in the closest place to the fight with the great destroyer?).
Kelfer
There's no contradiction. I detest FoW armor and therefore will not buy.
Probably wouldn't be a major update to add 1 set of elite armor as an alternative to FoW for HoM. Ask devs on that tho
Chaos Armor also sounds like a plan. Also possible is Dhuum style or Frozenwind, as these are present there.

1 set of amror. And all the costumes ??? They never had time for that either ....
Content such as GW:B you mean?
But, the idea stands.
Marty Silverblade
1 set of armor is nothing like a costume. You design and create a costume twice (male and female versions). A new set of armor has 20 versions, and needs to be tied in appropriately to UW. Also, costumes are a rare source of income for Anet. Remember you're not paying monthly to play and Anet needs to spend their time on things that are the most important and most financially viable. UW armor is neither of these. Complaining about this is pointless anyway. I seriously doubt you really wanted all 50 of those minipets. The money you spent on them is wasted, even more so than with FoW armor, because FoW armor can actually be used. It's just more money. I'm all for new armor sets, but it's not going to happen.
Kelfer
Rethink: Then make it like a costume, not 20 version. 1 for male and 1 for female, all the same for all profs. Difficult to grasp? Everything is already in place, go for it.
6th birthday celebration perhaps .........
And yes; costumes are an obvious earner, but I purposely left that out

Marty Silverblade
I think you misinterpreted. It's not a costume that you'd buy in the store. It's a set of armor that looks the same for all professions so that the Anet devs don't need to design and create a set for each profession. My response to this is /notsigned. If I'm going to spend over 1000k on something; I don't want something generic that makes me look like a bunch of other people. I want my Warrior armor to make me look like a Warrior and my Ritualist to look like a Ritualist.
Bad Company Sin
What the hell would it be called? O.o Phantasmal Armor, Ghastly, Ghostly, Meh would be nice to get a new set, then again.... would just drive up the market.. I'd prefer something different, like a collectors set, one you get from trading with collectors for various items. idk. :/

new armor is cool and all but with the limited resources that the gw1 team has i would them rather work on something like new playable content then an armor set all just becuase you don't like fow armor boo hoo suck it up if you want 50/50 then you need to buy it

Or similar to chaos gloves. Obviously if they did a full body chaos suit that would be just stupid and lazy, but maybe it could have a similar glow. I can't think of a good way to make that look good though.

You want to stand out from the crowd, then dye each piece of armor a different color m8!

Ok, content is in the pipeline (GW:B, GW2) Don't really think you need to worry or pew pew about that.
Lazy, no. I was fishing for, and I repeat, for an alternative
But lots of negative opinions here, so close if nothing creative is done or said pls Admin.

I got the Female Necro FoW armor, looked at it once. Dedicated it to the HoM and salvaged it immediately. Some armors are to ugly to even be called Fugly... and most Obby Armors fall under that category.
/Signed for an extremely expensive Elite armor that actually looks good fro a change. (even though Id probably not get it any more because I personally dont need it for my HoM)

Would have to stand out a bit tho, so black / red lines or a crazed effect.

Signed, the obsidian armor is clearly made by blind people.

People dont like the obby armor bc its old. 5 years ago it was teh shit. I would rather anet put a weapon crafter in UW to compliment there being an armor crafter in FoW. Chaos Sword anyone?
Daeheru
Well UW chest already offers some of the most expensive equipment in the game already. It offers dhuum's scythe and eternal blade, although FoW offers obsidian edge and I don't think it offers anything else worthwhile that the UW chest doesn't. Admittedly though the prices on these things have dropped and it's not uncommon to find someone that has one of those expensive items (especially if you observe/play HA or GvG). Still, a weapon crafter would be pretty cool.

The fact is... you have absolutely no idea what you want this armor to look like. You have no suggestion other then "I want a super uber elite expensive armor set so I can show off." If you detest FoW armor, buy some other armor that you like. But no, you don't want armor you like. You want armor that is "leet."

Maybe if UW was a reskinned FoW armor, with FoW using shards only and UW using ectos only it might be interesting.
Still, it's going going to happen. The only outfits they are making now are vanity items and unless they do an armor pack, you'll probably have to pay 8 bucks or whatever just to craft it.

lol, who is to say that you would like UW armor any better than FoW armor. You could end up detesting it even more. If you don't want FoW armor, that is your decision. If having 50/50 HoM was more important to you than buying an armor that you actually plan on wearing and like the look of, then you would get FoW armor regardless. Guess you will just have to deal with the fact that you are stuck at 49/50 because A.net isn't going to make an entire new set of armor to be a substitute for FoW armor because you don't like the way FoW looks. Sorry.
