After i saw these new ascended armors, i’m disappointed on anet. One of the best armors in game makes you look like a kitten clown . Now you have to waste 30+ gold on transmutation stone to make it looks normally…
ugh… shame on you arena net there is soo many ideas for good looking armor and you choose clown…
So we’ve all seen the release of ascended weapons into the game. It will take a considerable amount of time and effort to get these weapons.
My question is this – do you think we should expect the same amount of work to go into ONE armor piece – or will an ascended armor set be comparable in terms of resources/ game time to say 2 ascended weapons?
Personally – a char usually runs 2-3 maybe 4 weapons. So I’m guessing it’ll take less resources and time to craft ONE ascended armor piece than ONE ascended weapon but i’m not sure.
So – any ideas, thoughts?
Would love to get some input from the devs here.
If here they fall they shall live on when ever you cry “For Ascalon!”
I run 6 weapons (8 including underwater, but i doubt i will ever make ascended ones considering i only go underwater for 1 fractal) on my thief alone.
My best guess for ascended armor is we will be crafting it like we are now for weps BUT instead of just 1 piece we will craft a box of armor. Which we will then open to get our full set.

Unfortunately I have to make 2 ascended weapons for my Thief, because I run a dagger/dagger build.
As for your question, I highly doubt that ascended armor will be as difficult to craft as ascended weapons, but it’s possible it could be just as difficult.

You only use d/d? what about sb and/or a sword for trash mobs or pistols for blinding?

“Hey guys, we have record numbers of players dropping like flies. The ones remaining seem to be pretty dedicated, so I’ve got a plan on how to keep the cash flowing”
1. Make item with less than desirable looks
2. Give item great stats
3. put trans crystals on sale prior to release (that way if those idiots…I mean players question it we can say we just had a sale on them)
4. PROFIT
How about instead of those skins just let us craft those skins separately if we want. Would rather have draconic than those. They do not fit the charr body well. I get that very few people play charr, so you don’t have time to take care of that. Still for the charr players left this kind of armor job is just horrible.
Just like you said, they don’t care about Charr. It’s all probably made on a human base skeleton and shmucked on a Charr after because they’re forced to do it.

Now here is my question that i would like to pose to all those who enjoy ascended armor and for the kind kind anet devs.
what is the point of ascended armor?
now ascended weapons were created (based off of anet’s logic) to bridge the gap between exotics and legendary.
however, there was no gap between exotics and legendarys in terms of stats only in looks. Ascended weapons on the other hand have better stats but worse looks than both legendarys and exotics. It was really just a reason to put in weapons that took people longer to get so that those grinding hamsters would have something to do.
Now for ascended armor. There is no legendary to make the excuse of bridging the gap and the armor looks terrible anyways. This armor is almost a game breaker for me. I thought anet would have looked at all the complaints and the arguing about ascended weapons and realize people didnt want ascended armor…especially not so soon. This will of course not be taken out of the game once it is released so i plead anet and other players like me who dont want grind but want fun to try and change this direction they have taken.
Everyone has different eyes, it’s kinda hard to make armor skins that everyone likes. But I agree on the Charr issue, I don’t know what’s driving Anet, either money or the fun of making people happy. At the moment I think it’s money, which is bad for a developer.
I like the light armor, except for the shoulders. closest thing to a normal top I’ve seen and the tiny skirt part actually isn’t poofy on my fashion cursed Sylvari. http://imgur.com/b0BBd8H
The Medium body is cool, but unfortunately it’s skirt is gigantic on male Sylvari. /sigh.
The boots are a bit weird also, looks like you’re wearing 2 pairs. http://i.imgur.com/IKxHFdK.jpg
The Heavy just looks deformed and fulla rolls. ;/ The pants are also huge. http://imgur.com/WP9xdQh
Meow. I’d totally love to skin the light armor to my medium. .-.
Looking at the light armor I am very much disappointed and im hoping there will be further modifications for it (a lot…).
What am I speaking of? If you choose a specific body type during character creation this can happen (it’s not just this armor but many others as well!)

Disregarding the hair clipping – look at the groin area. The underpants basicly penetrate the armor.
“Oh but you’ll be looking at your characters behind all the time”.
Well let’s have a look of the buttocks area http://prntscr.com/1upzrs
What the hell…
How to fix these issues:
a) fix the armor (also change the whole look since it’s gross)
b) adjust the body type a bit
c) give ppl with these issues a free total makeover kit to change their body type…
I understand this as a ploy to sell more transmutation crystals but seriously – now you’re forcing people to buy total makeover kits unless you want total clip everything look.

good news if this is ascended armor…because it will save me the hassle of having to worry about it and I can just make money off all the crazy people who just have to have it.

Yeah they look “okay” (and I use that term lightly), some pieces at least…but definitely not really feeling the designs. Granted every screenshot I’ve seen has had hideous dye combinations so I’m sure that doesn’t help bring out the armor design.
This coming up is why I am kinda disappointed at my lack of luck to get level 80 trans crystals from dailies. But oh well, would just spend some gold on them when the time comes I guess. :/
I Just saw how they look and they are just horrible …
The new hairstyles are only limited to the makeover-kits and now we get ugly “ascended” armors that makes me feel at least as player i should transmute it to something else?
Anet, your just disappointing your core players.

To really develop an ascended feeling they – for example – could let us choose between a few versions.. three for light, three for medium, three for heavy. And let us mix and match..
Ah well…
Wow.. just looked at them in, game.. I normally would have said the OP was over stating it, but these are the worst armor sets in the game hands-down. (at least the heavy 7 light… good lord..) Either this is an awful cash-grab or dev trolling.. because these are only epic in their awfulness… woooow
There some nice piece of armor, but have to mix it whit t3 and other armor to look great. And yes, where going to need transmutation stone, it’s really easy to get gold and for the people who always complaining about Anet cash flow whit stone for ugly gear and weapon, it’s a monthly free game, if you can’t spend a few bucks, just farm it.

I have a Feeling that ligh armors are only designed for femals and they just use some Standard tight model for male light armor…. so I hope light legendary armor will not be sooo UNIMPRESSIVE as the other light armors… most light armors doesn’t make you feel like your strong…. more like your an aristocrat that never was in battle and have a tight polished armor to wear…
Im a Thief and I actually like the chest & legs so I will be going for those first. I don’t like the boots, shoulders, & helm though. Like the gloves but I like my Hellfire ones better.
I like some of light pieces but only like the heavy gloves. I think it is a matter of opinion.
now ascended weapons were created (based off of anet’s logic) to bridge the gap between exotics and legendary.
Bridge what gap? Legendary weapons were exotics and no better than other exotic weapons. They only got made ascended when ascended weapons were introduced.
The point of ascended gear, of any type, is to add a new gear/power goal for people. Just like in every other MMO every made.
. Now you have to waste 30+ gold on transmutation stone to make it looks normally…
