Before the April Feature Update, there were a couple armor sets that were available for unlock exclusively in PvP. However, after the introduction of the new wardrobe, the ability to obtain those armor sets were completely removed from the game.

In regards to this, I have unlocked 4 of the 6 pieces of the Apostle (formerly Rubric) light armor set from when I played a little bit of PvP, however I never finished unlocking it entirely. At the moment, I am interested in using the full set for one of my characters, but since I am missing the leggings… I cannot. There has to be a way to unlock this armor set, because it doesn’t make sense that you can have it in the wardrobe, but there is 0% chance to ever obtaining it.

Why has this armor set not been re-introduced? I am sure there is an easy way to put it back somewhere in the game. There are many possibilities. Perhaps you can put it back as a story mode chapter completion reward (only the chest skin is available in this way, why the inconsistency?), or as a purchasable set from a karma vendor, or even put it back into the game as some sort of PvP reward?

I wanted the legging too and thought it was from some obscure karma vendor or crafted set and spend almost 2 hours trying to find it until I finally check the wiki to learn it isn’t even available. It’s the only normal looking outfit that isn’t open in the front and I was very disappointed it’s not in the game.
They remove sets like this and and at the same time reward for personal story lv 78 to 80 are embroidered skins renamed as “commando’s”

The dev team has proven they can’t balance a 2×4 on a cinder block.

I agree, not only should they be available do to the wardrobe system and being able to unlock skins, but also because my new character is in desperate need of Stalwart (the medium PvP armor) shoulders

There are a bunch of weapons skins like that as well.

They should make the Region tracks more similar to the Dungeon tracks.

One weapon skin every 2 tiers, and “loot armor”: and exclusive PvP skin on the final tier.
Tribal could go with the Maguuma track and Shierpeak tracks, Apostle with Kryta and Ascalon, Seer with Orr, etc.

Or maybe give a 2-5 token trophies at the end of each track.

And have a vendor with spare skins that costs tokens and coin for skins:
- 1 token + a few coin: offhand.
- 1 token + some coin : 1-hand.
- 2 tokens + some coin, 1-hand.
- 3-5 tokens: Armor skin piece.

ANet will be reluctant to implement another currency, given they’ve already made the statement that they don’t want to add more currencies to the currency menu, so I doubt we’ll see a “PvP token” thing.

I’d rather see them just add a new reward track, except replace every dungeon weapon chest with a PvP armor chest and the veteran/elite/champion boxes with WvW bags. Simplest, most straightforward solution which should be easy and fast to implement.

I’m glad to hear that I am not the only one missing the Apostol set. I too like the closed front aesthetic, since most of the other light leggings have an open front, so this one stands out for me. After searching around on the forum apparently the Tribal armor set has met the same fate. And as mentioned earlier several weapons sets have apparently been locked out as well.

I hope that these missing skins will be re-implemented into the the game somehow, because I think that they’d look really nice on some characters. I’m sure that somewhere down the road ANet will bring them back, since they have done that before with some of the event-exclusive items (albeit temporarily). Mayhaps in the September update? I’m crossing my fingers.

I would like to see the Tribal Armour set come back also!

You know, more than anything else in this game, the Wardrobe feature has made me play far more than I expected. The reason is Alt characters – the first thing I do is go into the Wardrobe, create a ‘look’ that I want my Alt to be, then strive to obtain that look.

I really want the heavy guild shoulders back. Yes, the banded pauldrons look similar, but they suffer from Huge Floating Shoulderpad syndrome, and are about twice the size of the guild pauldrons. When I was looking to finish a certain look, I came across the shoulders in the wardrobe only to learn that they were no longer attainable.
