Not a serious subject... just thinking aloud really.. Just wondering whether FoW will become old fashioned and outdated with the arrival of CH2.
Anet has already said that there will be new armours for Chapter 2 and that this chapter (along with all the other chapters), will be standalone so it stands to reason that each chapter will have it's own high end armours.
However, that is largely supposition on my part. Obviously, CH2 account holders that do not have CH1 will not have access to ToA so it would appear that they can't enter FoW or UW UNLESS a new gateway is included in CH2 (like the one in the Shiverpeaks). This is possible because I seem to remember reading that the Canthans are somewhat more religious than the CH1 crowd and they have the same gods (can't find where I read that now though). As CH2 account holders will also have the core professions, it would also make sense that they could visit the FoW to access these armours.
I don't follow all of Gailes threads so I don't know whether this has been covered or not. Will the Assassin and Ritualist have their own FoW armour or will it have it's own version?

Chapter 2 Armour... No FoW?

anytime that a new high end item comes into a game it will take center stage for a short while and depending on the stats/demand for the item, then it will either remain on top, or will be just like the other items in the game.
FoW armor is the armor to strive for at the current time because it was intended to be the rarest/hardest/most expensive armor in the game and to be kind of an end game/wishlist type armor.

Anythin is pure speculation at this point; as for the Cantha thing,, there is an NPC on the ship in LA who says that the Canthans worship the same gods

I'm hoping that this is the case, so that I can go get a set on the cheap.

and still 3 more god statues yet to have their own fow/uw to be associated with :/

Well imo if you have the "orginal" characters from chapter 1 enter chapter 2 they will have double the armor available to them (chapter 1 + chapter 2). I believe that there will be armor in chapter 1 for the new chapter 2 profs inoder to balance it out. It would also entice chapter 2 only players into buying chapter 1.

i want armor from a special melandru place in cantha

Would be nice to have another big expensive set of armour about, but if anet keeps fissure as the big armour then the people that buy chap2 without having chap1 will eventually start to want fissure armour, forcing them to buy chap1.

People who buy chapter 2 would need a reason to buy chapter 1 and if there is no different armor available then they may be detered. Through having fow armor for assassins and ritualists it would give them a new goal to work to. Well this is what i am hpoing would happen anyway.

It's my Mesmer's dream to have armor from Lyssa's realm.

I "suspect" chapter 2 will have it's own version if 2 million plat FoW armor, Gaile has said that rubbies and emeralds will have a use.
Didin't the Frog or Gaile say that FoW will be advantages in chapter 2?

The new armor i would imagine will be a in between 15k and fow, probably costing around400-600k if it is midrange which i hope otherwise what was the point in me getting fow?
The Herbalizer
Alex that anet representative person said on here something along the lines of, "people with fow armor will have the option to keep the original appearance". Now that sounds very much like they will be giving each type of fow armor new skins and the ability to have the old version aswell.
Anet said that rubies and saphires will be given a use which reflects the price people paid for them. Now most people paid between 3.5-5k each for them. So for 2 million plat armor you would require around 500 of them. IMO they will have a new high level pve area similar to uw or fow where new materials drop which are required for the new armor. Rubies and sapphires may be just used for jewellery like they are in todays world.

Perhaps add too the selection of FoW armor, but get something completely different in chapter two for an endgame goal.

"It looks different"
Well MacOS looks different, I don't see people switching in doves. Sometimes lame rationale like this just doesn't fly after a while.

Fissure armor is just 15k armor with a couple more materials tacked on. The 'price' of the stuff is driven entirely by the secondary market. The prices on the WaW materials have been dropping as of late and will almost certainly drop further once the expansion is out and people start to sell their stockpiles to purchase the newest equipment.
But the point is that the only difference between a 15k piece of armor and a FoW piece is some ectos and shards, not a whole lot of platinum. The prices of those ectos and shards, however, demonstrates pretty clearly how much people are willing to pay for vanity in this game.
Peace,

Eh FoW is a statement over everything else.
Chapter 2 isn't gonna change anything.
Just hope the chap 2 version of Glads isn't so cack!

dilema
im saving hard and fast for FoW necro armour [finally decided to get it] but all of you have driven doubt into my mind
my original plan was to save n save hording all the ecto i can [only need ecto for scar pattern =D] n see whas available in Chap 2. but now i don't know wat to do.
i can see the marketing strategy if ANet make it so to get the uber armour you have to buy the previous version [just like pokemon]. but will FoW armour have new skins? will you be able to choose? ARGH!!!! the mind hurts
my necro deserves the armour, but eesh shuold i risk it.

I'm thinking the same, I could get FoW armor for my monk but I think I'll wait until Ch2 comes out. I'd feel like a total ass if I spent all that money only to find better looking armor in the next chapter. Plus ectos may well be cheaper when Ch2 arrives.
edit: fixed my wording

Ectos wont be much cheaper than Chap 1 they can't be
if they are you can jump to chap 2, buy a character load of ectos
jump into Chap 1, sell the lot to the rare material collector for profit
jump to chap 2, repeat till your cash pile is full, and your character can't move for ectos.

I think its would be FRIKN AWSOME if the was a dyanas world, meldranus world, and alstheas (i think i spelled it right) world.
i guess if it doesnt come this time around ill just have to force Anet to put it in the update in 6 months
Raxxman
you know you may be able to access FoW and UW from chap 2, as well as the other gods. They do worship the same gods.

In any case, would they technically HAVE realms of their own that were subject to invasion (like FoW and UW)? Grenth logically has his own giant realm, but what rationale is there for Lyssa to have a physical plane? Balthazar and Grenth are also the two most warlike gods, I don't see much point why anyone would try to invade Dwayna's domain, if it even has a physical existance (might be a world of clouds, she does have wings..).
If they do add those realms, I'd like to see an extension of the mini-storylines from FoW and UW... the terrorweb / Menzies invasions.
Ah well, I don't really mind... I like my FoW armor
