I wasn’t going to buy it either way (never been a Steampunk fan) but I was surprised to find that the new armor sets could only be bought as complete sets.

I would have thought they’d sell more overall if the pieces could be bought separately, or together at a slight discount.

^ this. Im not crying over a pair of gloves, it’s just that it would be nice to have them and ANET didn’t really think this through.

Please ANET, give us an option to but pieces aside from whole set. Whole set is 800 gems, so lets make it more expensive to buy single pieces and make it 200 gems/piece, but at least give us that.

all of the armor sets has alway been “complete sets”.
That said, I did buy a complete krytan set just for top, but would have probably brought 2-3 “tops” if they were sold cheaper seperately.

Please stop complaining, there is no RNG with the armor set.
If you really want it then either shell out gold or bring out the credit cards, you dont have to absolutlely have it, it is just a skin with no stats.

I didn’t really expect them to be individual items, but I was hoping that they would have switched to making them available that way with these new armors.

Before the release of the armors today, I previewed all of them across my many characters to see how to integrate the new skins into their looks as well as looking at how they’d look on characters I have yet to make and outfit.

I decided that if they were individual skins then I would definitely get this many right away:
2 x Helms
5 x Shoulders
4 x Chests
7 x Gloves
1 x Legs
4 x Boots

That’s 23 individual skin purchases at about 200-250 gems each for a total of about 4600-5750 gems. And there were still several others I was considering getting for other looks for my existing characters, as well as for the unmade characters I would also buy more character slots for; asura ranger, charr warrior.

But since they are in complete sets at 800 gems per weight class, I will only be getting a single set that I would use most of the skins from. I have one empty character slot I picked up, so not really interested in grabbing a couple more to make some new characters and outfit them any longer.

One of the biggest motivations for me to continue playing is the prospect of new armors to incorporate into my character’s styles as I romp around the world fighting things and doing events. Barely any new styles being offered at all since release, coupled with the mandatory ‘Full Set’ purchase requirement of these new armor skins…well…it makes me sad, and it’s a real shame too :\

Seriously? First you guys cry about RNG boxes and how you want armor sets/weapons on the gemstore. Then when they finally deliver them you complain that you only want a piece?

What’s next, you’re going to complain that you can’t buy gems in quantities of 50?

^ yes, why not? they delivered sets via gemstore, why wouldn’t they deliver single pieces? what’s wrong with asking for more ( or less in this case )? they would still make a profit, so what’s you problem now? As you can see I actually want them to make profit since now I won’t buy it and if they sell them also piece by piece I would. So, all in all, you should ask " why do you guys want them to make money!?" cos that’s what it is. Learn to read. I’m not saying “ugly armor wtf is that”, I’m saying “i want that, it looks cool, just let me have a piece of it instead”.

2-3 hours of COF for 3 days will easily net you 30g. It takes way more dungeon runs to get you a full set of dungeon armor.
So the time it takes u to get the gems for this is actually better than a dungeon armor you grind if it was permanent.

So stop whinining and complaining and get the armor by doing cof runs if you really want it.

Sooo grind the only dungeon that provides a decent reward for an ingame item or break out the visa?
I am not whining(spell check is awesome!) but rather frustrated at the outrageous prices for gem store items. Nickel and dime everyone till they so frustrated they break out the VISA!! Awesome business plan.

I can understand the frustration, but this is the trade-off for not having a subscription fee, even if the microtransaction system isn’t so ‘micro’.

While it’s unfortunate that there’s no a la carte option for the current sets, we can hope that’s something that will be implemented in future.

1. I always think its funny when people post “you guys complain about everything” when it’s not even the same people complaining about all the various things that people complain about.

2. It does seem sort of dumb to force people to buy a whole set when i’m sure there are plenty of people who would have shelled out money for a piece or 2 but decided on buying nothing instead. I probably would have picked up a set of gloves or shoulders if i could have bought them separately but at 800 gems, i’ll just have to pass.

I don’t mind if Anet sells the armor in pieces. Hell I don’t care if they sell it in sets. What is ridiculous about this topic is that the OP is complaining about an armor set and that he can’t buy certain pieces. Even so, the minimum quantity of gems you can buy is 800, so assuming you just wanted gloves and they were sold for say, 200 gems, you would still be paying 10 dollars except you would be getting only gloves. I understand what he wants and what he means, but to complain about it is just stupid.

It’s like a 5 year old complaining at his mom that he wants the buzz-light year wings from one toy in a toy store, but he doesn’t like the rest of the toy so he wants to only buy the wings but because they sell the toy as a whole, he is upset and doesn’t want to get it.

weren’t armor sets always bought as a set??

although, the ability to be able to buy specific pieces would eb nice. and perhaps have the entire set at a slight discount to incentivize people in that sense too.

@OP, i think it was more the “perceived” tone / attitude the OP was in that caused some of the not as friendly remakers / comments. : )) a good idea nonetheless!

Giving the option to buy a whole set OR a la carte just makes the most sense. Anet gets more money since more people buy and more players are happy.

Aaaaand, if no one raises the issue (i.e. complains) then Anet may never know this is something people want.

I have to admit that I’d prefer several armor sets to be sold piece-by-piece. Even if it’s a bit more expensive overall compared to buying the full set.

I bought two sets of the medium Krytan, and now have a bunch of pieces I don’t want to throw out — hey, I paid real money for those — but they’re also cluttering up the bank. I wish I could have just bought the pieces I wanted rather than the full set.

Yeah, I’m really not sure why people are so opposed to them offering the sets piece-by-piece. I’d have purchased several pieces of all the current armor sets in the gem store if they offered them separately simply because I don’t like every piece. What’s wrong with that? I want to spend money. Seriously, what reason is there to complain that people are asking for that? Seems like it’s a net benefit to everyone to allow more freedom in what can be purchased on the gem store. That includes the devs and us players. I just don’t get why every time someone asks for something they get dogpiled on for no reason for “whining”.

Here are some mock-up images I threw together showing what would be really nice to have for armor skins in the gem store.

Notice the cost (buy button) changes with each additional item, but when the 4th item is selected then the total becomes 800 gems, which is how much a full set costs, so it then notifies you that you can have the full set for that price.

x2 selected
x3 selected
