15k Druids
Network
That sucks. Ive only reached Granite Citadel. What city do you start from to get to Marhans Grotto?

I think the female is really nice (no, it's not because of the nakedness). The male one is pretty strange though.. You look like an eskimo

I could just afford the chest peice and leggings. They still look sweet with the 1.5 k boots and gloves. I dyd mine red, but it turned out pink lol, too bad I dont have a pctire hosting site right now to show you all what it looks like pink

ahh finally the day has come... and im quite happy, if only the back of the armor didnt clip the cape.

I think I'm actually starting to warm up to the new look, as I was disappointed at first. Clearly its just the original color that makes it meh. The black dye actually improved it quite a bit, and whoosa's tan color is also fairly nice.
I'm actually considering it now, in light of the fact that Ectoplasms now sell for 12K a piece, heh. Bye bye FoW armor, we never really had the chance to get to know each other.

Male is nice.

I much prefer the 15k druids over the male fissure armor.
As a whole though I am kinda pissed at how Anet feels the need to make every female in the game look like a skanky little shagbot who wouldn't last a second in ANY sort of battle unless you consider skin "armor". Honestly a sword could tear almost any female in the game right in half. And it's not so much that it's just...why the need for so much sex appeal?
PieXags is attracted to a girls modesty more so than how close you can get her to being naked without actually going all the way...PieXags likes CLOTHES not just undergarments. I wouldn't mind seeing the female elementalists in some robes of some sort, as opposed to the skin-tight halloween costumes they currently dress in. I seriously hope they change both the female 15k druid and the female 15k gladiator armor! This is supposed to be an armor and not a bathing suit!

I think that color is just basic "yellow", not a mix of anything could be wrong though.

Heh...with my ele I got a PM that was along the lines of "hey ur hot, can u dance for me?". I had 15k hydro armor at the time.
Now with this 15k druid set, I'm sure we're going to be seeing a lot more female rangers dancing in town..

How very dissapointing the Male druid's 15k set is.
The female's is a huge change, and a welcome 'sexy' addition to a set of armors that were pretty chaste on the whole. Ranger girls get the choice to be 'sl*tty' now, good for them.
I just think the new male Druid's is hefty and overly padded looking. The twin bandolier is nice, but overall I think the original Druid's vest looks far superior in design and texture. A real shame, as I was looking forward to buying a 15k armor set and now after seeing this and the mindnumbingly dull Fissure set (wow, they all look like 15k Studded. Thanks, but do you mind if I don't?), I think I'll have to be happy with my Droknar's Druid set.
*wonders what to spend money on now*

I can't wait to get the female armor. I think it's badass. I love the whole sticks/leaves one with nature type thing it has going on. I'm really glad they didn't make it with pants again.
I was on TS with a couple guy friends talking about it, then this girl came that had it on.. so we all ran over to her like a swarm of bees LOL! I'm sure she liked the attention though.

But a druid is more like a priest and not a nymph! The armor looks nice, it just doesn´t fit the profession! And I don´t think ANet should cater to the needs of people that didn´t hit puberty by now!
And it most certainly doesn´t belong in a RPG!

Hmm... seeing as how proper druid armor from the lands we now call Britain would be kinda like the monks tatoos without the diaper/loin cloth... uhm... it's more Druid like then the non-15k set.
Driuds are NOT preists in the sense of a church, but in a sense of nature. Wearing bulky clothing is not in the doctrine, but more 'natural' wears are.
Personally my characters are now broke after just buying 15k for my Ele... but the ranger is next.

I actually dont mind the 15k druids. It gives the rangers more a savage look... And, if your thinking realistically, it must be much easier to move in that armor.
As well, i've already had people ask for my picture :S
Anyways, here they are:

When I look at a female ranger with that armor, my first thought isnt ranger. And I dont know why. I think its because its more of the amazon look, but if you thought of an amazon super woman or something, you would think warrior. So I find it unfitting.
The males however, once you get used to it (And use black dye) its kind of cool. Looks like your one of the Minute Men or something. And when you got the mask on, you look like an assasin. Well atleast my character looks that way, the face and hair mean everything with this armor. And I no longer look like a bean pod from the back.
If it were up to me I would change everything but the males druids. Cause the males gladiator is eww.

Can some1 post a picture of the 1.5k male druids armor right next to the 15k male druisd armor? I gota female but just wanna see the difference between the male's armor.

After messing around with all different colour mix, I finally got something that I like.
Black everywhere except the boots(I'm broke
) and Yellow+Silver for vest(it looks lighter tan than the dye remover's colour and also blends with my hair 
)

Any proof for the looks of druid armor in Britain?

Dude, I'm a practising Petti Wittan, of which a Druid would be a priest. Yes... the Celts were NOT at the same level as the Romans in using metal for armor or anything like that. And typical wear for them coverd just the esencials. They didn't wear long flowing robes or anything like that.
The Picts, Guals, Breetons and that, before the Roman invasions wore completely differnt clothes and were noted by Roman historians for dressing like "Savages". Sometimes they only covered themselves with skin dye, made from clay and such. They'd draw designs on the bodies and wear a loincloth for ceremonies.
Sages and Preist they may be, but at the height of druidic europe, they were only a few hundred years ahead of the Native American's on our side of the water. They didn't get 'civilized' (harsh word meaning broken in their ways) until the Romans came to their land and took it over for the most part.
The one good thing form the last King Arthur movie... Look at the Picts that Guenivier and Merlin are denoted as being members of... those were the Celtic people... and yes, that Gwen wore less then the GW druid armor, that's for sure.
But as much as that movie is camp... the costuming was highly acurate for that time period.

Could it be that some Picts and so on, were dressed different to show their social status?

Actually, when an NwN druid polymorphs, they tend to be completely naked. Besides which, if you had a head for customisation in NwN it was relatively simple to design outfits of dental floss with full Armor value.|

My ranger in
Vest - new 15k Druids, Grn+Blk Leg - Desert collector, Grn+Blk Boots & Gloves - Druids 1.5k, Grn (maybe in a moment of fiscal weaknes I'll get the new boots & gloves...but those pants have a superior rune in them!) dansamy
If we are going to operate on the Merlin/Guinevere model (which admittedly the female 15k seems to at least resemble), then the male should be *much* less bulky than the female set.

This is a fantasy game, not interactive RL semantics. Fantasy, you know, that stuff that's seperated from reality by dint of it being fictitious? Bloody hell, if you argue about the likelyhood of some amazonian girl in a leather bikini described as 'druidic' I really do have to wonder where you stand on people raising the dead and casting meteors from the heavens...

Yes, this is a fighting fantasy game! I want people to look like they are trying to fight and protect their body!
Raising dead and casting meteor is fantasy, but fantasy, imo, doesn´t include running around half naked fighting monsters!
