Guild Wars 2

Who among you would like to see FoW armors back ? Either as a craftable armor or in commemoration of GW1 anniversary coming up ! I myself LOVED my FoW armors back in the day, and would LOVE to see my warrior with an Abyss dyed Obsidian armor, my necro with the spikey armor, and so on. Even at a premium 1000 gems I would buy it.

PS : bring back FoW/UW, Cantha !!! My only wish from GW2 devs so far is to atleast commemorate the amazing game they created GW1, it’s great to see new things, but it’s even better when you get back all the greater things you had, back..

Gods have left Tyria so there is little hope of avatar of Grenth granting you portal to Underworld. As far as Cantha goes, ANet said its not going to happend in near future, and it shouldnt since there are so many awesome areas of Tyria (like ring of fire, crystal desert etc. ) that should be introduced first.
FoW armor wassnt really that good looking, besides on few classes, warrior version was awful imo. Only thing it had going for it was prestige. But i do however agree that there should be some prestige armors in gw2 too (other than cultural ones).

The absence of UW/FoW is the thing I miss most from GW1 and I really hope ANet does include these two areas somewhere down the line.

FOW armor to me really only looked good on eles, mesmers, necros, dervs perhaps and monks if dyed black and white. Purely subjective I guess. War FOW looked like some obscene condom, to me anyways (was a running joke though), the chest/arms/legs were alright, but the boots and helm just ruined the look for me.

That being said, I liked the ancient/elite kurz/elite lux without helm/elite sunspear and elonian and the eagle themed armor from EotN for war. A select few for every other classes, really liked the 15k Kurz Rit, 15k Lux Necro, Vabbian Sin…actually most Factions Sin armors along with ancient. DID NOT LIKE EXOTIC SIN AT ALL though.

Yeah, bringing back a few of these armors much like Primeval or the classic ranger skin in the Gem store via the Gem store would be nice.

What I ultimately want though is just more armors in general which I am sure are on the way. Doesn’t matter to me if it’s prestigous or not.

That being said, I would have thought that the named armors would have gotten their own skin to reflect the Names class, IE: “Mhenlos” would have had a monk like look, or “Nikas” would have an assassin like look. Just not the generic skins of the rest of craftable exotics. Also suprised that “CYN” didn’t get a armor. Thought she played a bigger role in the overall story than say Norgu or Zhed. Maybe down the road, I dunno.

I would like to see tormented weapons from DoA.

I feel like all the nostalgic stuff should just be on the gem shop. if you want it, convert gold to gems or buy it with money.

I want all the armor back from GW1, all of them is better than any armor currently in GW2

The different realm of the gods would have looked amazing in GW2, shame they had to throw out all the GW1 lore to fit more charr in.

Any link to those mentioned skins? (never played GW1)

Check out the Guild Wars wiki for all armor and weapon skins. I think you can click through all the armor ones here though.

Oh wow, I forgot paragon obby looked pretty good.

Agreed, I miss UW/FOW/Tombs/DoA too.
The problem is that those places were rewarding in GW1, if they were introduced now they wouldn’t unless they rewarded unique items (rare skins) and new materials (i.e. Pristine Glob of Ectoplasm).
And by rare I mean really really rare. You don’t drop an Ethereal/Shadow Bow on your first run.

What would be nice is for them to add the Obsidian skins to the hall of monuments for those who obtained them in Guild Wars. Each with a heavy, medium and light version. Same with the other prestige armor from Guild Wars.

And add UW /FoE to fractals. Since ToA has been destroyed. Or as a guild challenge….maybe?

Obsidian armor was a nice long-term goal to aim for and the armor looked good on most of the classes. Though I think they should make a new kind of “obsidian” armor instead of rehashing old designs from the first game, like maybe Legendary or something with multiple designs for each armor level so we don’t have everyone running around in the same three designs at some point.

at this point i will take any new armors just give me something!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
