Guild Wars 2

What I mean is, what new armour sets have been added since the game was released? Or even any new chest armour.

Anet seems to be against new armour, other than shoulder pads.

None.

The only thing is the shoulder armor you mentioned already, and then the new gloves that came with the Living Story. They have added some back skins, but those are restricted to Fractals and the gem store. And they keep adding “odd” town clothing, but that’s about it.

So absolutely nothing, nadda, zip, zilch, etc.

I was about to start playing GW2 again, but now…

If that’s the deciding factor, I think you’ll be better off playing a game which you like for its gameplay.

halloween armor? or it doesn’t count as post release?

The witch set is town clothes only, and the Mad King set looks exactly like the exotic non-set pieces. Anyway, I have both.

Different people enjoy different things…shocking, I know…

Maybe when they, supposedly sometime in 2013, come out with ascended armor we will see new skins, and hopefully they are flashy. I mean, come on, they are ascended and probably not very cheap to get, give me something fancy!

I also saw a reddit post where someone had found 3 new unreleased gem store armor skins somewhere in the game files.

Edit: I also enjoy customization. Alot. Being able to customize my character to my liking is extremely important to me. Maybe that’s why I have 3.5 characters in cultural T3 armor, and I’ve spent maybe 200 fine transmutation stones, and countless regular ones. :P

I hope it is not with gems. I hate that store. They should at least give new players a better way to buy space.

A better way? You can buy it with real cash or in-game cash. What else do you want?

New stuff is going to be in the gem store. Otherwise, why would they bother making new stuff? The people working on the game have to make a profit somehow.

You buy space with GEMS, not gold. Gold would be the better way, because the price would be fixed. Instead new players have to pay everything they have ever earned for MAYBE one bag slot.

There are a few non fractals/gem store back skins added. Off the top of my head there’s the mad king book from the halloween event, the bag of toys from christmas, the pixelated backpack from the SAB, the jet pack from the living story and the backpack and now back banner you can get with guild commendations.

In their defense, in order to make an entire new set of armor they have to make 60 armors (6 * 5 * 2). But I would like to see more sometime.
