I think the point of chapter two is being missed. This whole expansion, (even though it's really stand alone), is asian in theme. So we really shouldn't expect much of what we see to fit the core classes all too much... as we know them now. I'm sure if this was our first game, we'd think it fit fine.
I'm kinda half-half on the whole thing... I want an asian continent... But what I want for my exsisting characters is more midieval in tone. I have four toons, just like most of you, and I don't think most of what I see fits my current conception of my character. The mesmer armor I love... except I want it for my elementalist... all in black. And all the rest of it? Meh. Either I'm not thrilled, or it doesn't look different enough. If they are going to do asian... really do asian.
For future expansions I would really love to see a ranger in leathers with a cloak covered in leaves, and a hood that obscured his head. That's what I want to see, a stalker. And I want my elementalist in black robes... you all know what I mean, like the black mages from dragonlance. Maybe some nice gold runes on the hem. (Dye the robes any color.)
I hope the next few chapters cover a greco-roman empire, an arabic desert with quick street rogues and big, fat, two-handed sword wielding eunuchs, more barbaric areas with more barbarian armors, and a more traditional fantasy realm with some mushroom rings in the forests and some vampires bothering the mountain villages. Yeah, that'll work.
But, yeah, remember that this next chapter is all asian, then you won't start hoping too hard. I for one would love some samuraii armor... better than the one in Tombs.

Let's see now... we currently have
shiverpeaks (siberia)
kryta (mid-south america)
ascalon (europe)
crystal desert (north africa)
faction (east asia)
Hmm... maybe south asia next chapter, thailand, india, philipine etc... that would still be pretty cool.

meh - not that impressed so far. Might consider getting a new hat for my warrior if I can get one of those huuuge samurai ones with lots of pointy bits on it. Thats about it really.
And the Shiverpeaks remind me more of the Alps than Siberia.

Robes, wizard-ish style. Hopefully they improve on the initial look. Agreed.

I still prefer the the Monk armor we have now although those pics are ok and I hope there is going to be a 15k Knights.
I am still waiting to get my Saintly and Wanderers 15k and maybe druids for my Ranger.

IIRC, those are their starter armors, except for the female assassin, who looks to be wearing the Saboteur armor.

The new nec, ele, and ranger armors are terrible IMO, with the exception of female ranger armor which is ok. The ele armor is the worst. It looks virtually unchanged from the way it is now. Same goes for nec armor - crap.
Seriously. This is pathetic, cant they come up with better looking armors? Pay a couple of bucks to any girl who's a beginning fashion designer and she'll draw you what will look like a masterpiece compared to this crap.
The new monk armor is nice, it actually shows some design, thaught and creativity. The warrior armor is ok too, but the female warrior armor looks more like the old dragon armor, and helm looks stupid.
The mesmer finally looks better. especially the male. I likes.
The female ritualist is allright, (male looks like a cyborg/robot) but the assasin armor looks idiotic. Why not make him look more like a ninja, and less like a moran? The whole assasin look resembles some of those cheesy japanese anime out there. (and I do like anime, just as long as it's good)
Why cant a face mask look like a face mask, and not look like it's made of plastic? And what's up with the armor that opens up his stomach? Jeez, this is not a friggin gay bar. This is GW!!!
For the sake of GW, I hope these are "beta" armors, and the final versions will be at least a little more creative.

I think the ranger outfit is suppose to represent a mongol sytle...
really like how the monk is heading.
The male warrior looks awesome, its actually his hat i don't like. They should change it to more chinese general like (fitting the style of the rest of his armor). female warrior just looks...odd..

anyone got any idea on whether these will be collector, standard, 15k or even akin to fissure (heard a lot of rumours about those rubies and sapphires)

Also can someone please clear something up for me? are these like Droknars armor? new 15K armor? or these are considered as new FoW armor?

/me thinks that these armors are the next to starter, since they are showing them. (exception for the assass and the rit cuz in pvp event they already showed us the 1st 3 sets.)
but no one really knows. from the feedback their getting they could eventually decide to shuffle these around into starters/2ndaries/droks/15k. etc.
/speculates.

I want to see the assassin armor that on the cover of Computer Gaming World.
I hope it's not a NPC only armor like Eve's
Yes I know it's basically Cultist but Eve's version is more sexy. Too bad they didn't make the NPC Hench as sexy as she is in the high quality renders.

The armor you saw for the Assassin and Ritualist are the Droknor's types as that is what is used in PvP armor.The rest of the professions will probably be avaible in Cantha only as you start to head there and arrive in a new city.The armor that is currently avaible is Tryian armor.

I was very disappointed after viewing the new armor shots. I do hope that these are concepts, and not the final thing. They do have more of an Asian feel to them, and it does not fit my taste. That's just my opinion, I don't like how the game is shifting into a Japanese style. However I was impressed with the Assassin's and Rt's armor, they did look good imo. I'll probably buy a set of this new armor, especially for my Mezy, just to wear something new. But in my opinion the current armor options are so much better than what I have seen so far.

mesmers look like they came out of the shower, me no likee

Yay for new female monk hair... no more buns XD.
The new male monk is bald... T_T

I think this all goes to show that we all have different tastes. I think they did a fine job of capturing an asian feel... from more than just japan. It looks like it has it's roots in a lot of places. But I think that asian armor isn't what we all really want. We might want to explore there, but I think we want to do it in new TYRIAN armor. Anyone agree? I want them to create at least one new armor for each class in the existing game. Haven't we been loyal enough? Throw us a bone. Flex some creative muscle in the name of fun.

monk and ranger looks nice 
i hope there's some good looking warrior armor too

I think the game will have a more European style taste in chapter 3 or North American.Looking agian I really don't like the Monk armor.

Check the GW page, and you can see these new armors. I think just he Warrior and the Mesmer are ones we haven't seen before. But wow...that Warrior armor is hot!
Starsky-sama
actually from this older screenshot (in their factions screenshot section)
http://guildwars.com/gallery/screens.../gw091-lrg.php
-You can see that the female warrior is wearing part of that armor set and
the female mesmer is wearing the same one.
-they are definitely nicer looking than the ones posted b4.
/agrees.
added: fem mesm totally reminds me of "Selene" from Underworld series. she needs black dyes and dual pistols, and she's all set.hehe.

I really dont like any of the new armors, i dont intend on buyin any. Although i will admit it will be nice to have more variety.
Lord Dobo
I like my warrior barbarian themed, so I don't think I'll buy that armor, but they all look really nice. I have to agree, the female mesmer in all black would be incredible.
XtrmEend
That warrior from the frontpage of guildwars.com is the best looking armor ive ever seen, in any rpg.

They better giver us more storage space... SOON. ><
Better pray that Guild Storage will be HUGE. Private person Guild storage would be nice... Just so people that got a lousy guild mate wouldnt just go in and take everything then run (sell your armor to merchant, take all the ecto, steal the weapons, forum filled with people that cry about it, etc).

Deffinately some interesting choices in the armor styles I'm seeing that they have picked. Though this is just mostly one set of armor for each of the classes, I'm in a way, surprised in the level of detail at some of them, for example, I notice that's the Warrior's armors, have an EXTREME amount of detail to them, but, then when I go back and look at the ninja class *currently*, the armor looks so flat =(. ,Mind you, I do like that they are putting the effort into designing us some new armors =).
By far, I'd say my favorites would be the Male warrior and females, as well as the new look of the monks, only I may have the helm hidden from view on the warriors, as I seem to like doing that alot with warrior helms lol. Makes you wonder though, what some of the armors will look like when they are dyed.
Also to be fair, I'm liking the silk-ish look/feel of the new ele armor, the male mesmer's outfit looks more like it would be suited to a ranger's style, but hey, I like it better than the current mesmer outfits lol, so I'm totally diggin on his look. The female mesmer's outfit there, O_x please take the puffball shoulder extensions off XD. That's just me though hehe. That male ranger outfit looks snazy, and the female beside him, kinda sorta reminds me of a monk's garb, looks as well like a huntress hehe, unlike my 15k druid's look it gives currently o.o. Ah the necro, I DO hope they have more body outfitted armors than the tattoo setup lol, tattoos look right on a monk, but the necros, lord LOL can't help but laugh at them XD. So the new ones now look fine to me =). Lastly, the ritualist and assassin armors, I think the ritualist looks fine as well, but I feel the level of detail in the assassin's armor could be buffed up just a bit, I mean, if you look at the Male and female warrior's armors, compared to the ninja's armor, the ninja is just so plain looking >< though..I know an assassin wouldn't WANT to standout, but it's just funny comparing the detail level XD.
Well, kudos though to them for making these, I thoroughly await to see the WHOLE line of armors,as well as the fun time I'm gonna have finding the right DYE mix for them, JOY lol.
EDIT: In case my post didn't get the point out, of my preference in armor's etc. I LOVE detail in things lol, sorry if I'm making it out that less detail makes things look drag =(
