Guild Wars 2

The Radiant Vambraces doesn’t look as good as they should. Why aren’t the whole gauntlet glowing? there’s a part of the gauntlet that’s silver and no glow, doesn’t match the rest of the armour and looks out of place. If they aren’t reworked, i’m pretty screwed for not chosing hellfire.

Bump this dissapointing to hear. But any screenshots for proof? You cant really claim something is wrong with the gauntlets without posting some evidence. Also maybe its only you that sees that these gauntlets effects arent what you expected and other peoe are fine with it. So if you expect Anet to fix this then post screenshots ^^

Because that’s the aesthetic choice? Deal with it until Anet releases a fully-glowing glove piece.

So you think Radiant and Hellfire look equally cool? Radiant look like tier 1.5 ascalon armour and Hellfire 2.0 CoF armour. Radiant need that 0.5 extra to be on par with Hellfire.

They’re fine. I previewed all 3 pieces from both sets in the PvP locker before deciding, and I think the radiant is the better of the two.

Is the non glowing half dyeable? If it is, it could be great and if not, that sucks matching everything to the silver.

Actually no. I found Hellfire to be yet another pathetic mould of ‘fire’ armor. We already have gloves from CoF. We already have gloves from molten (which was given to everyone). I guess we need more fire gloves!

While the radiant gloves have no other alternative in the game. What armor out there shines brightly like Radiant? None.

My personal opinion is that radiant > Hellfire by a large margin.

I would like to see AC set glowing in night as weapons.

I’m just happy with getting something that does not look evil/sinister/fire-themed/etc for once. Thanks for thinking of the Guardians, Anet!

..(for once)

If you want more polygons for your client to render increasing your poorly optimized performance ArenaNet would be happy to make the whole thing glow. The VFX are polygons just like every other model in the game.

You miss the point of this thread. I didn’t make this thread so you could tell me/us how much better Radiant is than Hellfire. I made this thread so you could write how much better they could have been made.

Looks really kittening wierd with silver colour on gauntlets when my armour is gold/black. Can’t even dye them.

Well then the appropriate action is for you to adjust your dyes. Not expect the shine color to adjust to you.

No. I don’t want a full set of armour in silver. Make the whole gauntlet shine instead. No point in leaving a part of the gauntlet silver or whatever colour it is and then don’t let us dye it.

No, I don’t really want a 100% glowing armor set thank you.

I like the silver, but I guess it would be nice if you could dye that part.

See, now you’re starting to talk. I like you a bit more now.

Yes, if we could dye that part it could match our armour sets without looking wierd.

I just wish I could find a male light armor top that didnt go over the forearms covering the only part that glows. The only one I can see working is arah’s but I havent done dungeons in months.

Hellfire pales in comparison, its only marginally better than most CoF parts.

No, I don’t think they look equally cool, to me the radiant is really cool looking, at least for guardians, and the metallig looking part is a big part of it charm, at least for heavy armor classes. I’m using mine on both my guardian and my mesmer that uses the long sleeves heritage armor that covers most of it and looks like just glowing gloves.

On the other hand for me the hellfire looks ugly and feels like just another fire based skin, and personally I think the regular CoF armor looks much better and more detailed (plus is dyeable), the only thing that the hellfire does better (again, for me) is the particle animation, but the molten gloves also have particles and also looks better (for me) and is dyeable.

But that’s me, I know several people that love and picked up hellfire and using it on more than one character. I do agree that I’d rather if it was dyeable, and that goes for both, but so far very happy with the gloves, and I’ll keep an eye on more achievements to try to get to 6000 for the shoulders (don’t care about the helm, already have the zephyrite wind one that looks good with the glow color), and would have been nice to have different gloves for different armor classes, even if it wasn’t dyeable at least the metallic part should have been leather looking for medium classes and cloth looking for light ones.

Personal opinion. Others really like the look. I’m sure Anet will give you the option to have your beloved Choas Gloves some time, but the Radiant Vambraces are the best looking piece of the Radiant set. The only legitimate complaints about the sets is that the shoulders are impossible to fit onto anyone but a heavy armour wearing class… and you know, the Radiant helm removes a Charr’s ears, horns and mane and thus looks god awful.

What about no. That would look stupid. Fortunately the designers seem to have the aesthetic sense you lack…

You knew how the gloves looked beforehand. While the information was readily available if you looked, I can understand your disappointment at the inability to dye them.

That said, if you don’t like them don’t use them. The fact that you don’t personally like them is, ultimately, irrelevant, and your suggestion is not an objective fact, but merely a question of (terrible) taste.

You’ll have the chance to get the Hellfire version later.

But Radiant vambraces have this rainbowy shine going on :c

The thing i dont like.
I use lowest graphics setting, and the glowing/white part is just very bright white that hurts my eyes :-(

Hummm….let me think….because it is in fact Radiant? That’s why it emanates/irradiates Light/strong glow!

But the radiant set looks awesome, besides the helmet imo. Without any metalparts/parts that don’t glow it would lose at lof ot its charm.

Now this is a cool idea alright !

It really doesn’t need more glow… o.O I think they’re fine as is. The helmet looks odd though on me. It’s like… too tight or something, idk.

Sorrow’s Embrace, Honor of the Waves, Shadow Armour, Crafted Acolyte, Masquerade, Vigil, Whispers, Magician.

Aetherblade and (Male) Profane would also work, but those are gemstore.

Looks good on warr or guardian sure, but on light or medium classs it doesn’t look as good. Both radiant and hellfire are pretty much heavy armour, hellfire might be a bit medium armour. Should have made one for each armour type..
I agree, the radiant helmet looks like crap. sorry to the one who made it.

That will most likely be a Legendary Armour Set. They may let you upgrade the AC set in the mystic forge.

I’m going to go ahead and say that everyone wants these pieces to be dye enabled. PWEEZE ANETS! LET UZ HAZ THE GREY BE DIE abLE.

Actually, I dig both looks…radiant more so. Would be cool though to not have to wear white or silver/grey to have them match anything I would pair them with.

we need to be able to dye them. problem solved.

i dnt want to mach my armor to gloves. i want to mach my gloves to armor.
