Guild Wars 2

So I’ve noticed this a while back and I’m sure many others have too, but I figured I’d at least vocalize my thoughts about it. The Nobleman’s heavy armor set from Caudecus Manor is cool as hell, I’m not arguing that. But my question?

Why is it so dirty in comparison to the same armor set that the NPCs are wearing? Check it:

It’s quite a distinct visual difference, and you can’t mix it with other armor sets seamlessly due to how dirty it is. Is this intended? An oversight?

My suggestion is that the current skin on the CM vendor gets replaced with the more polished, cleaner looking version. I’d love to use the armor as part of my visual style, but not if it stands out all tarnished and beaten in comparison to the rest of my armor, and I’m sure many other players might agree.

its the reason Ive not chased after this armour at all. Looks awesome but totally ruined by the monkeys that flung mud at it

My thoughts exactly, Lutharr. When leveling up, I was so excited to use that cool plate armor that I saw so many guards using…then I saw what we get and was very disappointed.

Thats why I use a mixture of normal skins and some t2 human racial set (best ingame imo). But even that dont have the kind of silver shine like the NPC displays.

We think the same. look at this thread

I hope they will fix it soon

Cool idea would be to make it look dirty when its broken

I was about to say that it could be a color issue. Like when you preview it comes with that metal grey color, and shes a shiny one, but i just saw jubelas link and yeah, its defenitly not just color. If all sets were dirty i would say ‘’ hey they want it like this’’ bvut the npcs got one, and you another, thats weird makes no sense.

i would love a fix
