Guild Wars 2

Do we know if they are planning on creating anymore of the armors from GW1 in GW2?

I know a simple port is impossible, but it would be great to see some more of these cultural armors (Sunspears, Elonian, Luxon, Kurzik).

There are a LOT of armors available too that we could see in the future.

Yeah I’d like to see some more come over. I had most for my warrior in GW1. I really like collecting armor and weapons to go with them, it was my thing with in the guild/alliance.

Please bring assassin outfits for medium armors. I hate wearing trench coats. Elite Kurzick or Obsidian preferably.

Well I’d be a bit disturbed to see http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Warrior_Charr_Hide_armor (especially if a Charr was wearing it…) but otherwise the more armors the better.

What i want to see MOOORE than anything else is the Ravenheart Witchwear costume http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Ravenheart_Witchwear

i miss my elite canthan armor

It’d be great to get necro armors from GW1 in GW2. I find that sad that my necro has nothing gothic to wear. I really miss her look:

Here is a screenshot of my necro in GW1.

Oh yes, the wonderful GW1 armors. I would like them for my ele, mesmer and necro and of course for my ranger. dream

Bring back Elite Druid but make the male armor the same level of revealing as the female armor.

I think that Legendary armors could and should be Fissure of Woe armors. THAT would be awesome!

I wish Legendary Armor could be Obsidian Armor. That’d make my day.

I really want Luxon armor

I miss some of the one-off armors from EotN

Highlander Woad

and
Chaos Gloves

And
Bandana

I would pay $$ for these.

Make a Female Norn. You can have a bandana for free. =-) you cant take it off tho. =-(

Oh god, not the chaos gloves! Never again…

+1

I’d dig Vabbian for my Thief.

I do hope ANET is taking notes. I mean the art is already there. Not like they have to actually imagine up new armors, they can just surf their own wiki!

+1 to this, so many awesome GW1 armors they could bring back, or at least draw inspiration from.

I’d love some of the more gothic necro armors and I think I speak for everyone in medium armor when I say some more assassin styled armors would do wonders to break up the sea of trench-coats.

Really hope a lot of this gets brought back. I loved some heavy sets ( Elite Platemail and Elite Templar) and would be over the moon if they ever brought them back.

The Kurzick armor sets were my favorite in Factions.

I really miss pretty much all of my Ritualist armors, especially the Imperial set. http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/File:Ritualist_Elite_Imperial_armor_f.jpg

The Kurzick and Luxon armors were both pretty neat, too, for pretty much all classes.

This and the GW1 weapons have been BEGGED FOR since ALMOST THE BEGINNING, we have gotten a couple of things that looked similar but FAR FROM what the armor/weapons art was in GW1, we need those artists back.

elite druids, elite gladiators, and scar please!

I would break my gemstore boycott in a heartbeat if Ritualist Norn armor were to make an appearance.

Armors I’d like to see make a comeback:

Ranger Nord Armor
Mesmer Elite Enchanter
Monk Labyrinthine Armor
Necromancer Elite Cultist
Mesmer Obsidian Armor
Warrior Elite Canthan
Ranger Elite Studded Leather
Ritualist Elite Exotic
Elementalist Elite Sunspear
Paragon Elite Sunspear (would love this for my Revenant!)
Warrior Vabbian Armor
Elementalist Ancient Armor
Assassin Asuran Armor

And of course any of the Kurzick and Luxon armors. Loved all of those. (sorry for the long list)

I’m just going to leave my signature as it has been for the past couple of years.

Game needs more wizards! Anyone who says otherwise is just a filthy muggle trying to lock you in his closet!

Still waiting for my Assassin Luxon armor, if Thief is still alive when it happens~
Will either die to nerfbats and neglect or drown in coats.

Although I wouldn’t be surprised if they did add it but made it Heavy Armor since Revenant stole the Assassin class.

Total Necro of this post for more people to post their Guild Wars 1 Armor wishes

I would love to wear charr hide in pvp…. all of these charr guardians and warriors
Gotta remind them of their history!!! they are the prey!!! not the hunters!

Serious note though… Silver Eagle Armor please?

I’d love to see some of the old assassin armours come back. Even something as simple as Shing Jea…although Kurzick (normal or elite) and/or Vabbian would be nice too.

…Also, not really an armour skin, but the dapper tuxedo clearly needs to show up in GW2.

Not to burst anyone’s bubble, but just to bring across a 3-D object is not that simple and it really depends on if there is already an import program. Modeling is very time intensive. Even if it is brought in, that doesn’t mean it will fit the base models in GW2. Some shaping/scaling will have to occur even if a transparency is applied over the base model. Then it has to be parented. Every single piece. which is usually head, neck, upper chest, lower chest (front and back), upper, lower arm, hand ect ect. its a lot of work. Then it has to be rigged to follow the specific walk/run cycles/ animations/emotes. Now multiply that times gender and races. That’s “if” the programs used are compatible and the bones match (bones/ skeleton= jointing bending). Textures would probably have to be re-done completely which is also time consuming. Truth is its usually faster to start with the games base avatar package than fiddling with something that was made to go with a different set of coded objectives.

I’m not saying it can’t be done, but in the end it needs to cover their cost for them.
Weapons objects however are much easier….unless they have a particle effect.

Now a community workshop for modeling with a modeling dev poking their head in to give tips here and there? I’d bite, just for the expanded learning experience for tips from a pro… That and to give my lite armor classed female avatar something without fishnets and a skirt (sorry but it needed to be said).

I don’t think anyone here thinks it’d be that easy, to be honest. It doesn’t change the fact that these are skins some people would like to see updated for GW2 though.

Truth is most have no idea what all goes into modeling. Including some Dev’s. I’m not trying to be argumentative at all. I’m very much a layman and before I got into it I was blown back by what all it entailed, and that not all game Developers know how to do it.
Coding alone is a mammoth job. I’m just saying it would probably be easier picking out maybe one or two “very popular” items like the belted tunic outfit that everyone could use for the amount of time and return it would bring.

Yeah Kamara that’s fine and right. But they have and do make outfits and new armor all the time. It wouldn’t be impossible for them to make some of the more popular items. Or heck some of the more elite armors from FoW.

I really did expect them to make FoW armor for the HoM’s that would have been nicer than what is in the HoM skin wise.

Would also love to see some (most) gw1 armors around here…

Armors, NOT outfits.

Yes they do kick out an outfit/ armor here and there. I’m just not sure if its already been in the content/ object files for awhile. They may be new to us but they could have been around since early development also.

Personally I’d love to get a look at it all.
Many things can be done even with old content and textures giving them an entirely different look. Its also very cost effective.

I’m kind of glad they didn’t, since I’m not really a fan of any obsidian except maybe warrior and I like the general look of light/heavy heritage gear, but I can see why that would have made a great prestige item. Maybe at one of the higher, itemless tiers?

Also, with people having mentioned intimidating charr with charr hide armour, at least you’ve got the skull on the medium Krytan armour? At least, I think that’s a charr skull. Not really the same as wearing an entire flayed charr, but it’s something at least.

I would like to be able to dye weapons again like in GW1 (even if only a part of the weapon is dyeable )

also i want necro vabbian armor! (i would even take that as a outfit!)

Wouldn’t mind seeing those tattoo armors make a comeback, would be very fitting for a berserker to run around shirtless… though it would conflict pretty badly with a norn’s default tattoos (unless there’s a way to replace that texture layer).

Lol that was my favourite.

I want Livias outfit \o/
Or some of those warm, cozy norn armors.

There’s really only one armor I’d love to see in Guild Wars 2, and that’s the Elite Noble for mesmers. I know there’s something similar, but it’s just not the same.

My memser still wears this armor even though she’s had it for 10 years.

At least in GW1 the male Eles had PANTS.

The only acceptable option we have in this game are the Ascalonian Catacombs pants…Embroidered looks like pajamas, and the Human T1 pants are just weird.

Gods yes, please bring back some of the GW1 armors. I miss having at least one set of pants for my ele. Hell…pants in general…

Maybe some more options without butt skirts….

Or just some nice, relatively simple short skirts….

Or some nice tats….

Or just some of the old school elegance….

Ah nostalgia….

But seriously… PANTS! please?

Beautiful! Those Necro armors and the Necro and Ele Obsidian armors…. So beautiful.

The Kurzick elite and standard Ritualist armour comes to mind. Love those sets.
The Flowing Monk set also.

The Kurzick Elite Heavy Armor always made me think of a modified Darth Vader =-)

I miss a bunch of armor, but most especially my Ritualist’s Asuran armor. The skirt was made up of feathers and the shoes had so much detail. Not the heavy clodhoppers so many shoes are in this game.
