I just think fire+black stuff = a 12 year old’s idea of cool.

Very much agreed, lol… I like that it’s in there for people who like it, but dear god, there is so much of it.
The armor the sylvari is wearing looks like mostly existing pieces, it’s difficult to see much. The medium armor in the other pic looks alright, but it’s… a little on the plain side, imo… We’ll see.

There isn’t a single frost/ice armorset in the game. Or nature.

Err… All sylvari cultural armor, Twilight Arbor sets?
Something with chunks of ice or crystal really would be seriously awesome though.

Let us reskin the fire to blue at least.

The giant spiky shoulders always remind me of a 12 year old getting excited over a bad 90s image comic. I groan whenever is see the orr karma set.

I’ll crack up if Radiant armor is glowy blue kitten because the game has even MORE glowy blue kitten than fire kitten.

Ultimately, i wouldn’t mind fire stuff at all if it was genuinely kitten as opposed to some of what we have. How about:

For real. It makes at least as much sense has wearing flaming armor in the first place. I had someone talking trash about how ridiculous my weapon was when he was wearing the CoF chest… i was like “c’mon, man, you’re talking kitten when you’re wearing a hamburger grill chest plate?”

I want a blood and bone armour set + weapon. It would look really cool and different.

So like the Afflicted weapons from GW1: Factions? I think some of those weapon skins already exist in GW2 as rare products from the MF, but yes, I would like a weapon set that uses blood/bone that would fit very well with a Necromancer.

It’s true that they misogynists, but IMO, I don’t think it’s reason enough to cut them entirely. There could be off-shoot, secretive cliques that include women or see them as equal. After all, Pyre Fierceshot’s granddaughter trained female charr in the arts of war in secret. And historically speaking, men have shared once forbidden knowledge with daughters and wives, leading to real events in our everyday lives.

I think it looks cool but really they should start making some ice themed armor too.
Something like the armor of the Son of Svanir woman they later scrapped: http://www.theroundtablet.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/guild-wars-2-norn-svanir.jpg

This looks pretty cool, but it was probably scrapped because the Sons of Svanir are misogynists. It wouldn’t make sense to have women that were Sons of Svanir.
Still, awesome armor. I really wanted to see something like that.

Perhaps the armor sets of Lady Kasmeer and Marjory Delaqua will also become available, since players demanded so much for them.
Kasmeer’s armor looks like light type while Marjory seems like a medium type. Both are pretty cool for sure anyways.
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/images/d/d6/Kasmeer_Meade.jpg
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/images/f/f9/Marjory_Delaqua.jpg

Marjory is known to be a necromancer, though, suggesting that her gear is probably light (although they could always claim she’s just an unusual necromancer). Kasmeer is still an unknown, though.

To those who think Scarlet hate means she’s succeeded as a villain:
People don’t hate Scarlet like Game of Thrones fans hate Joffrey.
They hate her the way Star Wars fans hate Jar Jar Binks.

I absolutely agree with you. And now we’ll even see more black tee-candles. Brrr … would’ve liked to see more lovely skins that focus on the armor itself and it’s texture and details and not some more ridiculus glowing and shining effects for the dull-mass which mostly doesn’t care about the small details at all.

Btw. Majory wears the shoulders from the tribal armor set which got removed from the beta and is only aviable in PvP (Masquarade) right now. I doubt it will come back this time. It ‘s a really great set for necros unlikely most of the other armors aviable right now. Maybe it’s designer quit and there are some legal issues. Or maybe Blizzard forced them to remove it because it looks to much like their shaman doctor from D3. We can only guess, they ’ll never answer that one … has been asked repeatly since release and got ignored by AreaNet into oblivion.

All the official sources that talk about it say full sets. Besides that, maybe they didn’t want to show off everything all at once, which seems likely or that they didn’t even have the complete sets finished when the screen shots were take for the promo?

And what the hell guys. First new armor sets we’ve had in the game since launch, and you’re actually complaining? Really? And it’s not even out yet.

True, but we’re talking about corrupted followers of Jormag, not just people who are being jerk misogynists. There are no “secretly okay” sects of the Sons of Svanir.

Even so, it’s not reason why we can’t kill some Sons of Svanir and jack their armor. I think icy armor would be pretty awesome : P I mean, we have destroyer weapons and corrupted-looking Orrian armor… Makes about as much sense as that.

I’d be willing to bet if Anet came out with a new end-game “black fire underwear” set of gear with stats better than anything else in the game, everyone would be wearing it. Heck, people would wear or equip a pine tree if it was powerful and the “in” thing.

kitten . That deserves a facepalm on my account.

But to be fair, I was actually thinking of rock rather than plant. The two just tend to meld together in my mind, I guess. And there is only 1 plant theme for non-sylvari still, which is an “evil purple thorns of death” (well, purple for the weapons).

I think it looks cool but really they should start making some ice themed armor too.

You could easily have given them “ripped” bodies during character creation. That would likely alter the armor designs enough to make it look like they got muscle beneath that cloth and leather armor.

That’s a whole other issue. If your character is muscled then light armor just ends up making them look fat. And for whatever reason all male sylvari with fairly normal body types get birthing hips when equipping any piece of armor. Anet seems to have issues with morphing armors to look appropriately sized for the characters.

Not that it looks hideous or anything, but… I think that approach there has been more or less ‘create fancy clothes, call it “plate,” “chain,” and so on, then apply a very very faint texture vaguely indicative of that last part’. I don’t think it’s so much that they can’t do this, as they’ve decided not to. That said, I’m far from impressed by the way they’ve handled armour given that they only seem to consider when making it that it looks decent on humans and to hell with the rest.

Hum pretty sure I’m quite mature (aged if you prefer) still i like having a fire themed toon (in fact my warrior is full cof expect legs with firebringer) and enjoy the fact that i can improve this effect. Now you can complain about the fact that there are not enough diverse skins ATM but the fact is that the reward system is just launching and well plenty more skins to come (especially since leg/hand/head skins are pretty easy to make).

As a side note, I think one reason they’re not creating full sets of these armors is because of WvW. One way to try to guess which profession an enemy is is because of their armor, and these new armors will share the look on all three kinds of armors.

I’m disappointed in the new armor because they’re pretty ugly. I too, also think they should stop with the fire themed molten-COF-looking armor.

The effects on the Radiant armor skins look great though, but they’re 3 piece skins (helm, shoulder, gloves) so it’d be hard to match your other armor, it’d just feel incomplete.

Makes me kinda frustrated because I feel that GW2 is lacking in armor aesthetics and I was excited to hear that new armor was coming, only to be disappointed.

Wind, Lightning, or Light themes are what we need.

Agreed! How about a nature theme or a UV light theme? Why does it always have to be fire?? It’s unoriginal, boring and repetitive.

There are so many other themes/colours that could be used in this game with the beautiful graphics that we have.

I would also say that I think the skins and shape of armours have been really repetitive as well. Too many trench coats for medium armour and not enough dresslike designs for light armour. The Twilight Arbour set is beautiful! We need more things like that. Lady Kasmeer’s armour would be very welcome

And while I am complaining about variety…. The town clothes are generally boring and ugly. There need to be more options to go on the bottom half and dresses would be nice (think the GW1 Dwanya costume).

Thanks for reading!
