Guild Wars 2

Tribal armor (labeled as masquerade for pve, but was a different armot altogether in pvp) disappeared from being acquired when the wardrobe patch hit. There was no hint it was being removed, or notification at all this armor would disappear. If it was mentioned it was going to be removed, like the fuse weapons etc, I can understand, but there was nothing.

Is there any chance this armor can make a comback, be it rewards path, or mystic forge again? Even for a short time, it was just unfair to remove without notification.

Edit: thanks to asuaka for the link to the full list:

It wasnt without notification. There was plenty of warning (several months) that PvP rewards will be reworked.
Meanwhile I will enjoy my set of tribal armor.

reworked =/= removed

Well they told us to collect as many skins as possible in our pvp locker before the update, because many skins would become much harder to or even impossible to get.

looking through the announcements, i see nothing of that. I see them saying to spend your glory, but no removal of skins.

More than just the Tribal set is missing, I believe there are 2 other armor sets that are no longer obtainable (I don’t remember the names off the top of my head though), and several weapons such as the Dark Moon Shield.

Removing the armor so new pvpers can’t get it is just another one of those limited things, whether or not you’re an elitist pvper & dislike this new pvp system & only find the pvpers before the new lvling system implemented worthy of a few pixels that no longer exist unless you got it while it was still there.
It probably won’t ever be re-added no matter how unfair someone may find it, it’s not that great to begin with- some people just want it only for the fact it’s pretty much exclusive but even most pvpers with that armor don’t have the full set.

Hmm now jsut Tribal Armor, can we put ALL the PvP exclusive armors in a Track? C’moooon. I want the medium one so bad I love it.

I think someone posted a list somewhere

Maybe you should have watched their live streams etc. Anet doesnt put all information they release in their blogs. I dont want to imagine what would have happened anyway to the economy if they made a big blog out of it. It was rather easy to craft and/or find some of the very expensive skins like for example Infinite Light or the two dwayna bows in PvP.

Starting with ready up episode 5, where they talk about the glory change, there is nothing mentioned about the removal of armors during, or episodes after that.

They must have said it somewhere though, I knew it a long time in advance.

Here’s the list!

+1

Been wanting this ever since I heard about it… which was after it was already gone.
We need more skimpy armors for males in any case.

Agreed! I had no idéa back then that this was only a PvP armor and then they removed it!
Best looking ’Necromancer’ armor..

Here’s hoping they kick off the new PvP update by bringing the old PvP armor sets back as reward tracks!

What a kick-off that would be.

I love how Gaile ignores this thread after stating we have to open a new thread for this question. <3

I don’t think (or hope) that’s the case. I’m glad she is checking in on the weekend, and she may not be able to get into contact with people who could provide info on the matter at the moment.

I do believe she’s noticed, I have a good amount of patience to wait, but I hope we aren’t backburnered too long XD

At about the time of the change, one of the PvP-centric Devs said that the Tribal Armor would possibly be added to a reward track.

That was some time ago, though, and he hasn’t mentioned anything about it since.

i vaguely remember, i thought it was people suggesting?

Going through some history, I can’t find the specific red post, but apparently there was one of the idea as a reward track, and apparently Grouch also mentioned it as a reward track possibly during a livestream. I guess I’ll have to look back for a couple hours for awhile…

Well, good luck. Numerous times over the past few months, I have looked for that quote. I am positive I read it, but….maybe it was removed. /shrug

Yeah, because making it difficult for your consumers to access information on your products is a sound company ideal! I shouldn’t have to watch live streams to know about important things. They have their own website, they need to use it.

Well, I started back on page 300 to find this Dev post, read up through page 250, had to keep a dew by my side.

I’m starting to think we imagined the post, or it was a poi bid it was said on, but I’ll continue on at a later time.

I did learn that so far, the last SOTG was actually on a gw2guru vid in may with Colin as a guest when grouch hosted it over there. And here I thought the last was back in last Dec or something…

You are a better man than I. =)

I’ve been trying by reading all the Dev posts for a particular Dev from April 15th on. But, I don’t know all the Devs that work/post over in PvP.

And, of course, Google hasn’t been much help.

Good luck, and great perseverance!

I believe the phrase used was something along the lines of “we may add it back into the game in the future”.

I know I have been one of the posters on these forums suggesting a new PvP reward track with the old PvP skins.

No, it was definitely to a reward track. It was when they were either first announced (the reward tracks), or first implemented.

Maybe that is the problem, I might be starting the search too late in the year. Hmmm….

yeah, i dont visit the spvp forums a lot, even while I was trying to work towards this armor, but when I learned I couldnt get the armor anymore, I threw my support too

Bump.

ANet has mentioned that, if/when they do bring this armor set back, it will almost certainly be through a PvP reward track (which is fair enough, in my opinion).

we have been trying to find this quote or mention

It might have been from an interview. I don’t think it was actually posted on the official forums.

It was on the forums. I distinctly remember. I saw it through the Dev Tracker, and then went to the sub-forum the post took me to.

But, for the life of me, I can not track it down, again. Would not be the first time a Dev post has been removed….
