haha nice love those all

Nachos………

Nothing of this all. GW2 needs no 4th armor type. Thats nonsense.
The game runs perfectly well with just its current system.

The only thing that could get improved about the armor type system is, making it accessible for all classes and adding to the system pros and con’s, if a Character, who isn’t normally wearign its intended type of armor.

For example:

A Class, that normally wears Medirum Armor and equips now some Light Armor, would receive for every Armor Part that isn’t Medium more Maximum Health
If that Class equips now Heavy Armor instead of Medium Armor, it will decrease the Maximum Health. Each Class would differently increase and decrease in Health, based on a percentage that Anet has to set up in regard of each classes different Base Health.

Example

Lets say we have a Thief, that has like 20000 HP with Medium Armor.

Lets say the same Thief with the same Build would have with Light Armor instead 25000 Health
With veavy armor the same Thief would have 17500 Health.
Why gives Light Armor here more Healthy? Simply because the Thief Class favors agility. Light Armor is lighter, doesn’t weight so much, so it favors the agility of a Thief, at the risk of suffering more damage from all damage sources, but the increase of Maximum health should compesate a bit for that.

With Heavy Armor, a Thief isn’t basically so mobile as normal, but for the gain of having more defense, suffering alot lesser damage of all sources the maximum health decreases..

Don’t take the numbers too serious, they are just examples. How much the HP exactly would increase or decrease, would be up to Anet to decide in the end.
But thats a way how I think it could work that armor types could become more accessible for everyone, what is imo important to me, because of GW2 beign a game, that is alot about character fashion and looks.

There are alot of light armor parts for example that I’d love to combine with some medium armor parts for a better more individual unique look of my theif character for example. I’d have no problems with this, if my character would receive more maximum health for the change of havign basically lesser armor defense.
Just imo would make sense in regard of class balance.

Fat Armour. Run 50% slower but gain 100% more armor than Heavy Armour.

OnT: On a more serious note i would like to see more naked armour, like the armour in GW1 where you only saw tattoos and stuff. I really dislike that you can’t “hide” the chest piece. No point in playing Norn, Sylvari and Charr if you can’t show your chest.

Light, medium, heavy and Plus Sizes!

Another terrible idea from Orpheal in the suggestions again… Your proposal has two MAJOR flaws IMO. The first, which is more obvious, is medium classes would have pros and cons to work with in both directions while light/heavy classes would have more extreme effects. Please note that while it seems balanced in theory, defense is not equal to HP (ie condition damage for starters) and certain classes have a lot of traits that interact with HP/defense that would cause some serious balance issues with this idea. The second, less obvious point, is that in the heat of battle, profession specific armor types are important to planning, positioning, casting, etc. I don’t want to see heavy armor and think I’m somewhat safe (w/o seeing a huge animation) only to get teleganked by a thief from 1500 away.

Now I can sort of, kinda, see where you are coming from.
Being different is great and Anet wanted GW2 to be different alright.
BUT. Being different just for the sake of different in every aspect is not as great, there has to be some reasoning to the difference.

All the things in which GW2/Anet is trying to be a little different makes more or less sense, it is to cater to more people, make it more accessable, make it less dull, more free etc. etc. (If they succeed or not is a matter of individual opinion and not to argue here)

Making 1 more armor class just… doesn’t make sense. What professions would use a new armor class that could not just use one of the 3 we have? Why not have more professions for each armor class (thinking one more heavy, though our professions already fill the spectre pretty well)

Tattoo armour would be great, needs underwear to be dyeable also.

I would like to propose another idea to the Armor Rating. Instead of Armor Classes, why not weight class. All profession can wield any armor, but the armor will have weight to them, the heavier the weight the slower you run and/or move. Armor with more weight will typical have more Defense, and Visa-versa. This would be the same for other equipment too. The Heavier the weight (density wise) the offense or defense strength of the equipment.

To Balance this, I would like to see a Benefit of wearing/ wielding lighter armor/equipment. Such as increase in Speed, faster attackes or something, idk what yet. All I know It as to be something that makes players think “Do I wonna make my Character a race car or a Bulldozer?”

well that’s my 2 cents on it.

If I’d be you, I’d just be quite. Terrible idea pfff.
Learn first to be constructive …

You are talking about “terrible” ideas? Don’t make me laugh hard!
One shouldn’t throw with stones, when sittign self in a glass house >.>
Or should I remind you on your childish nonsense suggestion you’ve came up lately, where one has simply to ask, how old you must be ….

THIS!!! In addition to megalazers I would also like to add tanks, stealth bombers, and battle dinosaurs as I think these would all fit nicely into the theme of WvW

Yeah sure, Stealth Bombers and Battle Dinosaurs in WvW…
You really want to ruin the game, WvW to be specific, with childish junk like this.

Really, if your intention was just to troll, I suggest you, do it elsewhere.
If your post was meant for real, just grab yourself first onto your own nose and don’t stick it too deep into someone’s other ideas, that are none of your business, when your own ideas are not the slightest bit any better, but in fact are like 10000 times worser.

Learn also to read first, before you comment, I said extra in my suggestion not to take the written numbers too serious, because I know fully well, that numbers are a decision, that are up to ANet and their Balancing Teams.
They were used only up for the example to make the idea more visible and graspable for everyone.

Who the dam hell are you also to declare someone others ideas as terrible, when you clearly can’t know nor have any clues about it, how Anet would implement ones suggestion in the end at all?
Health and Defense are also not the only options to balance out the opportunity of classes becoming able to use also other armor types.

All I wanted to make sure with my suggestion is only, that I think, that if something like this feature should ever find its way into the game, that I believe, that it would be very important, that classes, that use armor types that the class normally wasn’t designed for, should then receive certain positive and negative effects for choosing an other armor type of equipment beign used over the normally intended ones.

Sheesh, really, you should start to learn finally to become more openminded and stop bashing other people for their ideas, only because you don’t like it or seem to have some kind of personal problems with me.
Its not the only postign where I see you declarign someone other#s ideas as “terrible”.

Its rude and insultive. Don’t be surprised, when in future other people will react on your postings, like I did here now with yours, basicaly shreddign you into 1000 pieces, because you basically asked for this – if you keep this bad attitude of calling every single idea that you don’t like as terrible …

If you would have any slightest clues about it, what it means to make constructive criticism, then you’d just write, that you don’t like the idea and maybe why together perhaps with some suggestions what you’d change on the idea, so that you’d like it.
Thats constructive…
But just coming into an thread, only to tell others that their ideas are terrible, thats just destructive criticism, that helps nobody and makes yourself look like being only a rude *******, especially when being so respectless with having clearly overreading this from me

Don’t take the numbers too serious, they are just examples. How much the HP exactly would increase or decrease, would be up to Anet to decide in the end.

Now we are quit pro quo.
You call mine ideas terrible, then I do call yours officially childish.
I’d prefer playing GW2 rather with mature terrible ideas, than with childish nonsense that would turn GW2 into a mashup of Digimon and Resistance or other real life war simulation games :P

I think Tman hit the nail on the head if i’m honest, i also think you are very rude.

actually mes is not really a light armor class…we are sorta medium armor duelist with squishyness and ai….. dueslists should not be light armor imo

It’s funny how Orpheal is telling Tman to be constructive, yet he does nothing but ridicule him.
