Guild Wars 2

What do you think guys? It looks awesome to me, but i have questions about it…:

- What are the effects when moving/fighting?
- Will there be no clipping on charrs or other races? Will there not be any removal of the charr horns?

Discuss!

That’s some nice heavy armor there, but I’m sort of curious what the light and medium armors will look like. Or is there just one type of legendary armor that is equippable on all classes.

1) Probably none, aside from its initial deployment. I think it would be too distracting if the armor kept moving the whole time you were in combat. Once it’s deployed, it’s deployed until you leave combat.
2) That is always the question, isn’kitten Hopefully the answer is yes, but only time will give us the answer to that.

The article states that light and medium armor aren’t as far developed yet to merit a showing off. So no, it’s not one type of legendary armor. It’s all 3 weight classes. And it will take a few more months to finish the other 2 types.

Meh they could’ve at least shown a female version. Male human lmao.

Legendary Armor has taken so long to come out and for the first set to look like this is embarrassing. It looks like every other armor set. The only difference are the expanding spikes. But if you stop to consider how many ridiculous, over the top accessories you can acquire already this armor set becomes mute.

The idea is good, and the armor itself is way better than most armors I’ve seen in the game, but sadly, I think this puts the gravestone to the possibility of Legendary Armor being cultural.

This is BAD. Legendary Armor HAS TO BE CULTURAL. beautiful animations pale in comparison whit a well done set, truly designed thinking on each race.

My main concerns are whether it’ll only be an outfit, and you can’t interchange the armor pieces with others, and if you’ll be able to dye it. I doubt they’ll make it undyable, but I just want to make sure, because I would hate to just see people all wearing the same armor in the same colors all the time. No matter how flashy the animations are, if we don’t get enough variation ability it’s pretty much worthless imo.

No, its an ARMOR, not an outfit. And you have to CRAFT all 6 pieces, so there’s no way it would be an outfit. And yeah as you stated there will definitely be dye options for it like every other armor/outfit in the game :p

I don’t think the legendary armor has to be cultural, but some rework per race would be very appreciated, especially considering how much work will be put into making it (from the player), and the amount of resources put into creating it (from the developers). It’d be a huge let down if the armor has clipping issues on one race but looks perfect on another.

That being said I absolutely love the visuals on the heavy, and though I mostly play light/medium classes I think this looks really good! (I also have a grand total of 4 legendary insights so leggy armor for me will be a loooooong time coming, if at all.)

Also, anyone else notice this looks like Guild Wars 1 Obsidian armor (there was only one heavy class back in the day)?
