Is today the day that ANet finally provides the Tormentor 15K set with their weekly update? Updates usually come on Thursdays (usually), so, could it be happy hour for about 1/6th of the GW population?

Were waiting because the armor is there and theres no 15k version. I have a set ok 15k necrotics and love it, but i really want to see the 15k tormentors, because the 1.5k tormentors is pretty kickass on its own.

But what about some hidden armors for warriors and elementlist or any other classes? Who know if A-Net have hidden something good for all the classes not just for necro.

Althought i do agree, 15 Tormentor would look sick on any necros out there right now!

Obviously there is some confusion here.

Armor types:
Droknors - 1.5k armor
Marhan's Grotto, Citadel - 15k Armor
Fissure - Really expensive armor

All these armors have a more expensive version with same stats - example:
Wyvern Set (1.5k) looks different but has same stats as Dragon (15k)

However, the Tormenter's set, both 1.5k and 15k LOOK EXACTLY THE SAME, despite the difference in price.

This is an inconsistancy that has only affected the necromancer class. All the necromancers are asking for is to be treated with the same respect as the other classes.

It is not a 'hidden armor' it is simply a more expensive version of the armor available at Droknar's Forge. All 15k armor has the same stats as the 1.5k version, but "looks better". There are versions for every class (including Ele and warrior) and the necro community is waiting for this particular set. Obviously, this does not impact the non-necro community, with the exception of players that like to post in forums telling the necro community to stop complaining about the lack of 15k Tormentors.

Could be, but then that means they already have the model. What's the hold up?

Personally, I'm curious, but I'm not upset about it only because my necro isn't even close to getting high level armor yet.

Sorry to go off-topic a bit.
But they also have the model for the 15k Knights armour and theres the un-used fire ele robes that you can find aswell.

Strangely all three can be found around ascalon.
The fact that they have the models but don't use them doesn't really makes sense.

Unless they just don't give a damn about people in the game...or are planning something else.

Also I got tired of waiting for the armour update so I just deleted my necro.

Some of the 15k armors are just new textures over the same models. Some are completely different models.

You're assuming that armor represents the model for the 15k Knights, just because an NPC is wearing a specific armor model don't assume it represents anything. I would be more inclined to believe that the NPC's would be wearing armor that was not obtainable by the general populace, to distinguish them from players.

Second, you do realize that you can purchase the non-updated armor and as soon as A.net puts in the new skin, your armor will automatically be updated to reflect the new artwork.

All I can say is be patient and when you see it I think you'll love it(the 15k Tormentors that is).

Ok, here's what the problem is: If you were a Necromancer who went to the Armor crafter in Marhans Grotto, you would see a set of Tormentors armor that costs 15k per peice to craft, and requires Delidrimor Steel as one of the materials (as opposed to normal "Steel" required in Droknars Forge Tormentors armor). If you were to buy this "15k Tormentors armor," you would see that, unlike all other armor that costs 15k to make (Elementalist, Warriors, etc.), this "15k Tormentors armor" looks EXACTLY the same as the Tormentors armor in Droknars Forge.

Right now there is no "15k Knights" for purchase anywhere, there is, however, the "15k Tormentors," it just looks like "1.5k Tormentors." So I continue to stand my ground in LA Intl D1, protesting for the 15k Tormentors to be re-skinned.

Rushed?! I was unaware that requesting an armor to be re-skined after the last armor to be re-skinned happened over 100 days ago, to the 15k Gladiators. Yeah, your right, give them time; 6 months isn't enough already. /sarcasim

The thing is that Anet (Gaile) said it would be here by now. About 14 days ago she said we would not have to count with both hands and feet. Later she said she did not know what was keeping them (and said something about going over to the other end of the hall to check). We haven't heard from her or from the Tormentor's armour since...

I am not really that bothered. But Anet failed to make good on it's promise thus far, so we have every right to moan.

Oh brother. Are we going to see this kind of thread every day now?
Its like a labour strike: everyone suffers till they get what they want.

Worst part is that it probably repeats itself: "I want 15k pokey's armor for assassin NOW!"

if Anet is smart they'll have the 15k armors for all armorsets and both the assassin and that other new proffesion ready by the time chapter 2 gets released.

your wrong, warriors did have something new... they got that new 15k gladiator armour..

other proffesions have had 15k armour, but it used to look identical... ranger armour I think it was...thats was updated also

ele's have always had their 15k armour since jesus was born.

Its not a case of crying for something NEW.. its crying for something that everyone else has had for along time.... so damn right there should be these kinds of posts!

not only that they were promised it!....

I've never been a necro, nor had any interest.. but I would back them up 100% of the time because you can be DEAD sure if it was YOUR favorite proffesion missing out you would feel just as strongly about it!


one thing is definatly true... you dont get if you dont ask... then ask... ask again.. then shout, and shout louder.. then scream childishly.. this is what Guildwars is about isnt it?.. the community, and what they want.... if all we see are threads asking for tormenter armour then it means this is what the community wants, not just some silly update to the tournement rules o_O

by the way... ITS CHRISTMAS, where are the christmas decorations??? they've put the lights up in my town! lol

Dear ANet,

Monday, December 12 is my birthday. It happens to be exam week at the University that week as well. I already have no exams on my birthday, could you make my birthday even super awesomer by releasing 15k Tormentor update on Monday.

Thank you,

This armor is better be the best looking one of them all....

I'm really wondering why it's taking them sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo long...

Making a rank 12 emote last month was MUCH MORE important....

I would like to know on what they are working now instead of the so much requested necro armor...

Someone at Anet must have some extra fingers and toes

I emailed ANet over this issue of updated armor skins. They said you would have to buy the armor after the update. However, this was before the 15k Glad's and Druid's update. Maybe they'll do things differently this time around?

Let me guess, you e-mailed NCSoft support for Guild Wars, they would be the last people I would ask, and for your info; all those people that had bought the old 15l Glads and Druids did not have to buy the new one when the artwork was updated, it automatically updated all existing armors as the artwork/skin was replaced. All prior 15k armors that had been bought before the new artwork was implemented automatically updated those characters that had already purchased their armor. How can this be you might ask, think about it, you take out an exiting peice of artwork and replace it with a new one, what happens to all those characters that had the old artwork(skin)[keep in mind that all characters are stored on A.nets servers]. That's right, the old artwork/skin on the existing characters is automatically replaced with the new artwork/skin as well, and presto, new armor.

so... 15K Tormentor? Think you can only get it in FoW crafter or is it available in places like Grotto or Cithdal?

I've been out of the game for a few months. You are not saying they STILL have not done the Tormentors set yet ? Thought it was meant to be out around the same time as nudeydruid and gladioli armour ?
