The female warrior armor is GREAT! That will be the set I'm going after now.

The new necro armour is cool, but I don't really like the rest. The first picture of the assassin makes her look really anorexic and the ranger armour just doesn't do it for me. I was looking forward to kitting out my ele and ranger with some cool new clothes so I hope the ones that they didn't show are the nicer designs.

I really like the new necro Face scar!

I'm looking forward to seeing the male Warrior Canthan 15k armor, as the female's is easily my favorite skin of the bunch! I was excited to see the Male Ele's armor wasn't dumb!

Not crazy about Ranger masks.... Nor the Male Mesmer....

The female Canthan warrior armor and the male Kurzick warrior armor look great!

I'm going to make a Ward Bitch just because I really like this particular new face skin, and female E never had a problem with outfits, Prophecies or Factions.

That female monk armor was the 15k version of the PvP +armor while enchanted (Luxon) armor. That's good stuff

Actually, I think it's 15k Kurzick. Looks like a more intricate version of the Blighter as posted on the wiki.

I like the new facial scar (assuming that the pic hasn't been horizontally reversed) because my necro has the hairstyle that covers the side of her face that the Tyrian scars show up on, and you can never see them.

some parts of the female ranger outfit look pretty cool, i really like her mask, i got tired of having almost all the masks in GW:P looked the same(only WS+ one looks different i think) so it'll be nice to have some variety, not as happy about the one that the male ranger has, but at least it is different. also, male ranger armour is just the plain old scout's armor that we saw in the FPE but the female one is new...wish they had shown a new male armor rather than repeating. oh well. some new armors to contemplate working with once i get Factions. let's hope they keep on posting more armor(if there are more that we haven't seen yet)

oh, and i really like the female warrior armor that they had. i just hope it doesn't have a g-string back like the female sentinel armor in FPE, as amusing as it was to see the first time, i don't think i'd actually want something like that on my character. i like this new one though.

Someone should tell him that it's suppose to go on the inside of his pants... if that's what you'd call those spandex things.

The general appearance of the male asssassin is goofy imo. Reminds me of all the trendy kids that appear in japanimation. Bleh.

Yeah... I might go for the arms on that guy, but nothing else. Both of the Assassin armors scared me. I much more liked the 15k Kurzick armor that someone posted... ANYWAY. I was generally pleased, and hope to get myself some canthan ranger and monk armor soon.

Like the Male mesmer mask. Unless an upcoming chapter has us meeting giant penguins with whom I would like blend in, why would I ever wear that mask?!?!?!

That said, there are a few very nice pieces.

Still no pics of 15k Berserker's armor... which seems to be the only useful piece of warrior armor in factions (atleast in PvP) :/

If they simply extended the fabric to be a whole body piece, it'd look much cooler. Hell they could've even spiffed it up with some generic bandages or something around the torso.

Hmm....that male Assassin's armor is terrible,
The male mesmer's mask is just as horrible...
I like the female ritualist, cept that it turns you black...
and I LOVE the male warrior on the 2nd page...makes you look like some kind of neofighter....

Meh... Warriors got the cool-looking armors this round. That male War armor is absolutely threatening. I love it. I don't care much about the fe. The Necro, Ranger, Ele, and Monk armors were ok-ish. Nothing impressive. (But, I must say, big progress on the Ele and Monk armors- they used to be so... not cool)

But what's with that male Mes? It's a complete mockery... The fe is alrite... if you are into golden lizzards crowling on you. (I smell Versace) But the male... is just horrible... That mask is hideous. I hope the FoW alternative makes up for this... THING. I hope that wasn't the domi mask... (in-between that and the current Ssssssmokin-style domi mask, I'd take the Mask, thank you very much).

The Assa armors were L O L big time. If you were going to make Assas wear drag, at least include the pink feathers. The Rt was alrite... I think that's not 15k tho... cannot be sure, they kind of mix and matched 15k with regular armor I think...

Bottom line: I don't play Warrior so I have little to look forward to when it comes to these sets. I hope/know there is more tho and I'm sure I'll find me something to like. I'll probably remake my Monk to a fe btw. I love that 60s hippie look. It's so far out...

Overall im not too impressed, therse a few nice outfits but generally nothing great. Im waiting to see 15k sentinels on a female warrior.

I don't like the mesmer outfit either, it just looks cheesy.

This pic right here is a perfect depiction of reason # 5078 why my new mesmer is not going to be a male char.

.... Im in the complete minority here on that male mesmer mask. Imo, its the coolest male mesmer mask to date. Reminds me of something like a New Orleans trickster or hedonist that would mask themselves to hide thier idenity. ...throw the mesmer a feather hat so he can be a pimp next. ... Im serious.
I was hoping for some nice looking Ranger armor cuz its my only PvE character I give 2 craps about. If not this chapter, I hope as time goes on I can get other verions of Druids armor. Something tells me it will be the one I'll be using near permantly for him.
That warrior armor is slick as hell too.

The female mesmer armor is nice, reminds me of a chinese dress The necromancer facial scars are pretty scary looking, almost as if they're crying blood.

I think the ranger armor looks great. The Luxon turtle shell stuff looks great for both male and female, and the Kurzick armor looks totally pwnage on the female, and somewhat ok for the male. I loved running around in female kurzick stance armor with a PvP R/A prebuild during the FPE. And ya, the warrior 15k sentinel is amazing stuff. Can't wait to snag it.

I suppose it could be. But then again, Tengu have pointy beaks. So that just makes me think Anet is trying to re-enforce the "gay Mesmer" stereotype. First the Riverdance and purple undies/sparkles, now Broke-Beak Mask?

I don't understand what the big deal is with the Male Mesemer mask, here. It's a pretty typical masquerade ball mask. Go to Mardi Gras or check out a few movies that have big masquerades like Phantom of the Opera or Eyes Wide Shut and you'll see what I mean.

Furthermore:



I believe most masks (as well as costumes) were meant to be a kind of 'peacok' (filtering), in a sense, where the male tries to be flamboyant and beautiful. This was fairly obvious as they tend to have a ridiculous amount of feathers that adorn the masks, and some, like this particular one, even looked like a bird.

I find it kinda cool in that Renaissance 15th century Italy sort of way. After all, the Mesmers were always designed to look like they were attending a masquerade.

Wow...that new male mesmer armor just keeps making me laugh each time I look at it...lol

Anyway that male ranger armor looks real awesome IMO. If I get the money I think that'll be the first set of 15k Canthan armor I'll purchase (if its 15k...still confused about this...lol) if not I'm sure I'll buy the armor sooner.
