Frankly, I am liking most of the new armors. The necro armors are very nice with some stellar examples for both sexes. I really like the male ele., armors no more waddling coat tails follwing you. I am kind of disapointed in the male Mezmer armors, I think they look a little too homespun for the dashing Mezmer, and though I really like the Cassanova style mask, it doesn't work with the shown armor imo. The warrior armor, is nice it looks warriory, :P I have no problems with the assasin armors, infact I quite like some of them. I don't think that male assasins look like transvestites, I think they look androgenous, which is fine, not every male has to have huge shoulders, and not every female has to have a chest the needs scaffolding to support it. The ritualist armors, look like they should, very primitive and shamanistic. I am mostly interested in male versions, because I don't play females. Ntm, most female armors look a bit tarty to me.
just my 2 cents.

I love how they play, just not how they look/dance/or emote.
Otherwise:

http://www.guildwars.com/gallery/scr.../gw111-lrg.php <-- my necro is happy
http://www.guildwars.com/gallery/scr.../gw105-lrg.php <-- warrior is happy too
http://www.guildwars.com/gallery/scr.../gw106-lrg.php <-- is there a male equivalent of this?

The female assassins look the same too. |

I'm waiting to see the male 15k legionnaire skin
I don't particularly like how the entire sentinel skin set looks a little boxy w/ the leggings, so I"m going w/ sentinel head/chest/arm/canthan legging/sen boots
Ofcourse if my hopes come true and that 15k skins are the same for all armor types, then I'll get those all in gladiator set w/ the helm = +1 sword and Knight boots

I like the monk and warrior armor. The necro and ranger armor ain't so bad, neither.

Heh, during the Preview Event I bought that gonzo mask for my mesmer and just started riverdancing in the middle of House zu Heltzer. It was hilarious how many people who were running by would stop dead in their tracks to gawk at me.

Yeah, I am very pleased with most of the Warrior armor I've seen in Factions. Looking forward to getting some for Sciros when it's released ^^

Looks great though. |

Sad thing is, White Mantle armor still owns this, even tho it's a great piece of armor (talking bout the War male sent 15k).

The male assassin and mesmer are just creepy. The female mesmer is gorgeous and has convinced me to make a mesmer. The female warrior armor is pretty frickin sweet too.

Do you guys think these armors were designed to appeal to different countries besides the U.S.? We have pretty conservative tastes here.
Not trying to flame, just curious what other nationalities think.

I'm really liking the look of the new armors, almost all of them that I have seen actually.
Kinda off topic, but If you check guildwiki, it looks like they may(now this is just my observation) be redoing all the original Chap1 armors in Factions.
I thought of this when looking at a few of the new sets.
Pyrebound Armor - Ranger - +10AL against Fire (Drakescale)
Stormbound Armor - Ranger - +10AL against Air (Studded Leather)
Cabalst Armor - Necro - +7 more energy than normal (Scar)
Dreadnought's Armor - Warrior - 10 more AL than Normal, +10AL against Phyiscal attacks (Platemail)
Again, this was just a personal thought, nothing can be confirmed.
I'm also liking the Sentinel armor a lot more now that I see the bonus is -20AL if strength is below 13 whereas I originally heard it was AL100 and +20AL if stregth is 13 or higher. This, to me at lest with my limited warrior knowledge, makes the set seem a bet more balanced.

Hmm. I wonder if any of the ritualist male armor has pants. I'm more of a fall person than a summer person so I hope there are pants 
@Vahn
Are you sure it's just +10 AL on the ranger armours? The current armor+ mods are +15 AL vs. each respective element.
Hmm, maybe they're making some armor weaker and some armor stronger for incentive to buy both chapters. Like someone mentioned earlier the factions platemail type is 90 base AL as opposed to the 85 base AL in prophecies. I wonder what other similar armor types are weaker/stronger in comparison to the prophecies armor.

*drools over female mesmer armor*
I just might get that instead of FoW for my mesmer... unless the "lizard dress" has some crappy bonus. Then I'll go with +energy FoW <.<

Uhm, Ranger armours are the same.
However, Dreadnought's armour has 5AL more than Platemail, which pretty much makes Platemail even more useless then it is now.
http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Warrior_armor
Also, Elementalist armour had +10 vs elemental, +10 vs <insert element>, depending on the type.

Hmmm, usual mix of styles here. Now we all know that when it comes to armour/looks male characters get the shaft. However, both the male sauron armour and the monk armour look great, as do the female warrior and monks ones.
As to the rest - oh dear. Not even going to comment on the assassin stuff, although I do think the words 'inspired by Mortal Kombat' should float over the assassins heads.. Although I do remember many people shouting after the FPE shouting 'beta beta beta - they'll change it'. Well as the rest of us commented they will/have changed nothing.

It is, but the drakescale, etc. have an additional +15 against a certain element.

That mesmer armor looks cool. I'll just keep my old mask.

Anyone know if I run my assasin to Citadel and Groto can I buy a set of 15k there? Or is there somewhere in factions I need to get to. Any input would be great before I waste time getting runs up to beacons then through the southern shivers. Thanks a bunch!
Maiyn
yeah ^^^
That's a good question.
