I appreciate ANet’s attempt to include more new, in-game armor content with the release of HoT, but – unfortunately – I’ve been a little less than blown away
I don’t know about the rest of you, but I think it might be fun to post some ideas of armors we’d love to see released in game!
I, for one, would love to see some of the following:
Medium Human Male armor that doesn’t include a trenchcoat – so far the only one I’m aware of is the Glorious skin, I’d like to see more
Heavy Female armor that makes use of shorter skirts, and not the ankle-length stuff or the far too-prevalent bulky pants we currently have – something more along the lines of Aion (also under the ncsoft umbrella) for a more feminine touch… see the picture below
Anything TIGHT without clipping issues, please and thanks. I am so tired of trenchcoats and puffy skirts that clip with every single weapon in the game…
Edit: Most GW1 Necro armor were awesome. Profane armor in GW2 is nice but not enough, need more tight stuff for every armor weight!!!
I would love to see some GW1 armor returning to GW2, some had really great design. I was very in love with the Elite Necrotic armor and I still am
However, I doubt, that anet will bring out any full armor set soon. It seems, that they need a (imo ridiculously) long time to get an armor set ready for release and in the moment, they are probably still working on precursor and legendary armor.
A full set includes heavy, medium, light, times five races, times two sexes, so it’s like developing 30 sets. It takes nine months to develop. (That’s for a normal armor set — legendary is much longer.)
Maybe they should think about releasing each armor class seperatly, so they would not have to work on everything at once. It would not actually be more armor, that is released, but it would probably feel, like more armor coming in the game.
@Nana, I agree with everything you said, but with a slight change to the use of GW1 armor “returning to GW2”.
I want it as armor, not a flipping outfit. Outfits ruin the whole concept of individualization in game. I’m not looking to rehash the outfit vs. armor skin fight – people love them, people hate them – but I don’t want ANet to mistake this thread as a request for more outfits
At the end of the day, I think including more old gw1 armor skins (as armor skins!!) in gw2 would help bring some cohesion between the old games, and for old players, make Tyria feel more familiar.
Also, releasing armor classes separately is a great idea. +1 to it.

Since my new favourite character is a charr necro, I would love a charr light armour that looks slick and sleek. I got the exclusive hair from the hair stylist that gives my charr the slicked down hair with bangs.
What I am thinking of is similar to how charr light heritage armour looks, which is what I am using now. https://wiki.guildwars2.com/images/e/ed/Heritage_armor_%28light%29_charr_male_front.jpg
I really love that mantle!
Here is what my charr looks like right now, so you can get an idea of new armours that would suit him.
lol…
are you insane ??
This is GW2 we can’t have cool stuff.
This would defeat the purpose of dull button #1 mashing without any purpose
or enjoyment of environment or adventuring.
I’m pretty sure they are developing a just white flat plane where black squares punch white squares and everyone focuses on loot and nothing else
Sometimes I have a certain character in mind, but find myself unable to create it because of the lack of armor. Therefore I would love to see this:
1) A heavy armor (male/female) that is similar to the medium armors, that does not include steel or chainmail, but includes pants (without skirts!, and not skimpy). With such it would be possible to create warrior type characters similar to Cloud Strife or Geralt of Rivia. I know that a none-steel heavy armor may be not very realistic, but there are so many unrealistic armors in the game, one more would not be so bad ;-). Or at least include a leg armor pant that does not have a skirt included or strange bulky things at the side.
2) A human female light armor with actual, propper pants. An armor that is not a shirt or a dress or a skimpy leggins thingy or both combined together. Once again something along the line of medium armors. I had the crazy idea to make a human female ele with a trench coat military style look or something along the line of the jungle explorer outfit. Not possible. I will have wait for the actual jungle explorer outfit to hit the gem store once again to make this character :-(.
3) Another medium armor without a trench coat, something similar to the gemstore viper’s armor would be nice. The viper’s armor is actually a medium armor without a trench coat. Took me ages to realise that.

Elite Sunspear armor.
Vabbi armor.
Could possibly redux Fissure of Woe armor.
Mmm I loved and worked hard for all of these skins in gw1. Elite Kurzick on my mesmer was hands down my favorite armor of all time (that vabbian was a suuuper close second though haha). I’d love to see them again in gw2, but I’d like to see them as skins. I’m afraid ANet is only ever going to release these as outfits in the gemstore, as they’ve been doing with Gwen’s attire and the elite monk woven armor.
