This is my replacement, really? You can’t even compare the two! Feathered has too many sharp edges for my taste. Anyhow, please post your before and after pictures to remember a beautiful armor, and maybe someone can show off a nice color scheme for the new set!

Thanks for posting. It looks like re-skinned feathered armor.

Anything I post is just the opinion of a very vocal minority of 1.

Not as bad as I expected.

But…

Why no flame effect on the center gem of the mask? It was on the old one and I can’t see how leaving it out is an aesthetic improvement or would infringe on the non-flaming-at-all human T3.

The shoulders are going to create a lot of clipping issuers at that size. Would look better IMO if the shoulders themselves were a little smaller with the same flame effect.

I’ve absolutely always hated feathered. I know folks like it, but I was always hateful of it.

Very sad. What a waste of my makeover kit, midnight ice, celestial, and RL money. RIP beautiful norn….

If you are dissatisfied with the change, you can contact Customer Support to request a refund. For more information on the reasons behind the change, please reference this post.

Hey, everyone. We’ve been reading all your feedback about the Flamekissed Armor Skin that was released into the Gem Store yesterday.

Although the Flamekissed Armor uses the same mesh as the Tier 3 Human Cultural Armor, it was not our intention to create an armor skin that so closely matched the existing Tier 3 Human Cultural armor set. The intention was to use the mesh as a basis for creating an armor set that stands apart and is distinct in appearance. However, after reading your feedback, we agree that the Flamekissed armor is not visually distinct enough from Human Cultural Tier 3 armor.

We will do a few things to address this issue.

  • We will temporarily remove Flamekissed Armor Skin from the Gem Store.
  • Players who have purchased Flamekissed Armor Skin will keep the skin.
  • We will make new art for the Flamekissed Armor Skin that achieves our goal of making a visually distinct and attractive armor set and does not closely resemble the Human Tier 3 Cultural armor.
  • Once this new artwork is completed, we will then update the Flamekissed Armor Skin so that all existing sets that players have purchased get the new art. We will also offer the Flamekissed Armor Skin for sale again at that time.
  • When we update the Flamekissed Armor Skins with the new artwork, any player that has already purchased the set and who does not like the new, updated look, can get a full refund by contacting Customer Support.

Note that there is no ETA on when this change will happen. We need to work with the Character Art Team to determine when we can have a new armor skin ready, and this could take some time.

Thank you everyone for providing your feedback. We appreciate that you took the time to let us know how you feel about the new armor set.

This. Still haven’t decided on the new skin. At work so I can’t check how it looks in game. Will decide later if I want a refund. From screenshots I’ve seen, it doesn’t look bad, but not good either. The shot on this page seems a lot better than what others have posted. From other peoples screenshots, it looks like the skirt isn’t on fire like the one Anet posted.

Yep yep they refunded my gems when I filed a ticket.

But what happens to the armor you used it on? I know they can’t/wouldn’t just delete the armor, but did they change its skin back to some other one?

Female scholar sets are usually good, male scholar sets are usually bad.

Does anyone have pics of the male version to see if the trend continues?

They used Tier 3 armor and added some magma on them. Not ok.
Should at least had used Tier 5 or 6 armor sets.

I would assume so, since we know there’s record of what was transmuted from the transmutation splitter.

…And then I saw the huge gold-to-gem price and LOLNOPE, I can totally wait until the last few days.

But seriously holy kitten, I guess many people did like the new set + quaggan finishers.

So instead of having the Flamekissed armor use the same mesh as another armor set, you make a new one that uses the same mesh as another set (Feathered)? With this much time, I don’t see why it couldn’t of been something unique. Do the heavy and medium Flame sets use another skin as their basis?

I’ll be making a request today, sad thing is i’ve also bought a set for my friend as a gift and he doesn’t like the new change either.

T3 reskin was abit much but this…this just beats all.
I was hoping for a real creative skin, not just another copy paste job.

Good work Anet!

Yup, the medium is a reskin of the medium karma armors in Orr and the heavy is a reskin of some mid level karma armor (pit fighter is the name I know it by).
