Guild Wars 2

…looks like crap. Honestly the only thing it’s worth is the stats, if I ever bother buying it. Even if I do, I’m just gonna transmute my tier 2 medium armor into it. Doesn’t even look like Norn armor.

Now that tier 2, thats how a Norn should look. Even as an engineer that armor looks bloody epic.

Why would you buy the t3 so you could transmute t2 into it? might as well transmute t2 into a level 80 exotics imo

I like the t3 medium shoulders, and planning on getting those to go with the rest as t2 on my Engineer.

T3 medium norn armor is Eirs armor you know the hero from our land…if you think thats not how a norn should look you probably don’t know what a norn should look like. IE did you watch all trailers and go wow they really dressed Eir wrong thats not how a norn looks…

I WISH I didn’t like the tier 3 armor, I want it, and that is a ton of gold.

I love the T3…. except for that big weird rumpled bustle on the butt for females. Yes, it’s on Eir too. Yes, it looks ridiculous. WHAT was the designer THINKING on that?

All medium armors bar maybe two are crap, i think Arena net has a obsession with trench coats….

God mix it up a bit guys…trench coats get old fast

I’m still wearing my T2 armor because it’s just amazing and shows my lady’s tattoos the best of all armor options! I DO want the T3, but I’ve grown so attached my current wear and all that transmuting work…plus I don’t care for the design decision that added a half bustle on the pants of T3. Really doesn’t seem to fit the whole Norn type IMO.

I’m in the predicament of Lindelle… I want T2 and T3 for my Norn…. And I want Nightmare for my Sylvari and likely T2 and T3 for that too…. sigh…. And I definitely want to transmutate the T2 Norn armor to level80…. Going without Eir’s set and the T2 just seems inconceivable to me… so I will have to find a way to get the funds for the armor sets and transmutate the T2 armor…

Why did ArenaNet’s designs for Medium armor have to be so amazing and their Scholar armor to be so limiting? It practically necessitates my Sylvari getting cultural armor (because she’s a scholar) and the awesomeness of the Medium armor… well I just cannot refuse.

Dante: I like trenchies, they never get old for me

that’s the female armor. I’m talking about the male armor, except for the fact that Romke wears it, thats the only thing. The Tier 2 is, imo, superior in the look.

80k for a single piece? I think i’ll keep saving up for my commander title.

Tier 3 female heavy armor pretty amazing

Tier 3 Medium is just absolutely outstanding! First because it’s Eir Stegalkin’s set and it looks amazing on both women and men(specially in women of course).
I just wish I could have my warrior using that on alternate apperance, really xP

maybe the opener have a male norn, and on male char the armor is not that amazing as it is on female norn, is a nice one but is possible that someone don’t like it, on a female is simply amazing, and i’ve buyed it all but the Headpiece, i found it really ugly and unfitting.. i will buy even the tier 2 and i will use it for my magic find set

But again, T3 on female… is simply outstanding!

I agree 100%. No doubt I would invest in the whole T3 set if it wasn’t for that weird “pillow” on her butt. The rear must look good, because that’s what you will see all the time. Well, maybe except when you are kiting. Imagine looking at that funny looking rumpled bustle all day and night.

btw, does anyone know if the weird rumpled bustle is attached to the chest or leggings?

What are you talking about? I love norn T3 medium.

it would just be MUCH better without the “butt pillow” :-)

Anyone actually bought the set yet?

I have bought it, nearly the whole… but i’ve not buyed the Headpiece, and probably i will not buy it, is so ugly…

@ Sahel
Which part of the set has the rumpled bustle, aka “Butt pillow”?
Is it the vest or the leggings?

il part of the vest, the leggings are “A legging and some leather stripe on the other” XD

cool thx man!

When I win the lottery, I’m gonna buy all pieces but the vest!

cheers

I just previewed the T3 medium set, it’s really horrible!! The shoulderpad/hair clipping is aweful. The vest, who had the absurd idea of putting ribbons there?? Aweful as well. And the whole thing costs 109 gold? lol. The T2 medium set looks much better. That’s what my female Norn ranger is wearing. Plus the 63k karma shortbow and the 63k karma bow.

Dunno, I love the Norn Tier 3 medium set I think it looks great

i think is personal taste…

i simply love it.
But even i am displeased from the shoulder clipping… hope the will fix that..

The helmet is perffect style for Norns. Will definitely get it somewhere in the future.

I personally LOVE the Female Norn Cultural T3 Armor its the sexiest in the game that my toon can wear. I used a few different purples to make this combo. I love the armor with and without the shoulder. Kudos on the awesome design.
My Ranger Aislin Akkadian a gorgeous female norn.

I wish my norn elementalist had any armour as cool as the medium t3

I prefer the elementalist gameplay over my thief gameplay for the most part, but my thief just looks so gorgeous, I can’t bring myself to play my elementalist anymore.

I got a bit annoyed – level 1 to 70 I kept finding all these awesome greatcoats for my female medium armour. Then I get to 80 and suddenly it’s all fur bikinis and dresses (or otherwise bog-standard studded leather like the AC medium set).

Is it too much to ask for something like the level 1-70 coats, except epic?

You can transmute the stats of Lv80 exotics onto any piece of gear. /facepalm

The female version (Eir’s Armor) is nice but I cant say that i’m a fan of the male version.

The male version gives me Elvish vibes which it shouldn’t, It should be giving me nordic vibes.

Yes, I know that. What I’m saying is that considering that level 80 exotic stats are more or less irrelevant – one 80 exotic is as good as another – it would be nice if the 80 exotic skins didn’t look quite so much like a pile of dead kittens. If you’re not paying for the stats (and you’re not, because why would you when a full crafted set is less than 6 gold) then it would be good if it were worth paying for the skin.
