Guild Wars 2

Hey guys, this thread is aimed at giving Anet some feedback on what people think the ascended armor should look like, before it’s released. I’m sure we’ve all seen them, but incase you haven’t, this is what their previews look like, in a video by SignsOfKelani:

Now, I don’t know about you guys, but I pretty much dislike all of the ascended armor. Each to their own though.

My idea of ascended armor, (and this will be different for everyone – so there is no right or wrong) is for them to be REALLY different and amazing. I’m talking animated effects, glowy bits, and just the detail and design of it that makes you do a double take when said person in ascended gear walks by. What kind of armor would do that for me? Well…

For the Mesmer, margonite-like armor from GW1. The purple bits would be transparent and slightly glowy as shown in this picture:

For the Necromancer, this dude. Not sure if he’s that ‘Dhuum’ character from GW1, he looks kind of different here, but nevertheless, his armor makes me do a double take:

And for the guardian in particular, I’d love to see some sort of transparent ghostly armor – armor that would match something like the foefire’s essence greatsword.

So, I ask you guys, what would YOUR idea of ascended armor be? Let’s give Anet some feedback as to what the final design could, or should, be

I don’t think that necromancer outfit would work with my cute little asura necro. ;D

Thought I’d bump this

The ascended armor skins have already been data mined and leaked. I’ve seen them, and I am not impressed by them. ArenaNet really needs to port more GW1 armor skins to GW2. Like seriously. That game has SO MANY different armor skins (like over 200 divided among 10 different professions, each profession getting their own unique skin). People would mix and match and come up with so many armor variations. Even the new skins they recently released were not very aesthetically pleasing to me. I mean they are okay, but not great.

ARENANET, BRING MORE GW1 SKINS! YOU HAVE HUNDREDS AT YOUR FINGERTIPS!

Those light ascended pants.. if that’s the actual set that will make it into the game then I’ll be ecstatic. That’s exactly the kind of leg armour I’ve been after.
Though that mask, disappointed, expected something fancier for ascended quality headpiece.

I suggest they go ahead and release the ascended armor. Let the market’s stabilizing begin so that we can make it sometime before the major holidays ahead. Money gets tight for the holidays, and they might make more if they launch earlier rather than later. A lot of retailers are doing this very thing this year to get a jump on profits.

You seem to be looking for legendary armour. The fancy stuff goes for legendaries typically, ascended is ‘unique’ but not over the top.

And that is exactly the problem. Why do we have to settle for decent looking skins when there are already far better looking armors in the original game that they should just hurry up and port over?

DO IT NOW! BRING US MORE GUILD WARS 1 SKINS!
