Guild Wars 2

The only thing putting me off this new armor is its un dye-able. i have a blue and silver themed guard that i love, now if i want to use the new fire armor i will have to go black and red, same goes for my necro. atm it is green and black, but if i want to make the new light armor work right with it ill have to dye all my armor white. but let us dye the armor and the problem is solved

doubt it will happen. The new stuff seems tailor-fit to guards with a silver/blue motif, and the hellfire seems tailor-fit for wars in CoF armor. I’m with you 100% because maybe I could do something with either of them if they were dyeable but don’t hold your breath.

wow.. are you kidding me? wtf…

I thought they were skimping when they did 3, heavy-only, incomplete sets as rewards…

they aren’t even Dyeable? what the hell?

pretty sure they are not dyeble because of the particle effects on them. Currently the same applies for the flames on the cof gloves (they cant change the red color) considering that the new gear has much more particle effects it makes sense they cant be dyed a different color as it would look weird.

I feel exluded by ANet. If i have only a thief how can this armor fit my style i i don’t use flame armor or “white” dye?

Not every armor and weapon the game is meant for every class and every player. I am sure in the future there will be armor more suited to rogues and your liking.

Well, now I know not to spend any achievement points on them.

Ah well, at least the Greatsword skin looks awesome…

Well we can either have slow quality expansions released once a year which have good maps, real armor, real story, and new skills/races/classes

or we can have tons of really crappy content with rushed incomplete rewards

guess which one Anet chose…

Thing is, this is supposed to be a player-wide reward. However, if you don’t use gold weps, silvery/blue or black/red, the rewards are pretty much useless.

The fact that they both look like heavy sets is also irritating, but hey I’m probably sticking to the gold weps.

That isn’t how it works, you just unlock them after a certain amount and you get to use the skins an unlimited time.

As for them just “adding on dyes” it’s not as simple as that, if it was we would have dyeable weapons.

I gotta agree with kNite. Stop whining. Every single update doesn’t have to give you something. I agree the dye would be nice, and I won’t be able to use any of these armors with my characters. But I was able to get stuff out of the Dragon Bash. Maybe I’ll get something out of the next one.

I don’t really like their choice especially after hearing colin say that there will be new content releases every 2 weeks. I mean i’m all for new content and i think this could be good because i think he said they have 4 teams that will be rotating. But I would like large expansions that really add to the whole game permanently. Anyway i guess this is the direction that they have chosen so we will see where it takes us.

Don’t worry guys. In two weeks there will be new stuff that may suit your tastes. I love the speed at which we are getting items. If you like the stuff wear it, if not there will be new stuff all year that may catch your fancy. Patience is awesome if utilized properly.

Radiant armor is bullseye, it fits to every class.
It doesnt look like heavy armor like someone said, but rather demigodlike armor.
You must have seen some movies where are zeus and other stuff like that. Why couldnt casters ala ele and necro wear helmet or shoulders?
Hellfire armor isnt bad either but it indeed doesnt have so many armors to fit, but it can complete some kitten looks.

Thematically, it doesn’t fit necro, engineer, or thief (could probably make a case for this). Making all the new skins obviously heavy armor should not be what ArenaNet does but they apparently don’t care, as long as the heavies get their armor and flaming equipment all is good in the universe.

You can dye CoF armor, the FULL armor can be dyed except for the burning flame animation(orange flames). What we are asking for is not dying the particle effects on Radiant/Hellfire armor, we want the surrounding parts(the metal inner gloves of Radiant Vambraces, not the shiny light outer part) to be dyeable.

Additionally, GW2 uses the same engine as GW1, and Chaos Gloves, Chaos Axe and Envoy Axe had 100% dyeable particle effects, and they were made solely of particle effects and nothing else(when you “sit” in water in GW1, your hands/axe disappears completely).

the armor come in light/med/heavy

I doubt you’d have dyeable weapons at this point simply because they used pallete-swaps of some for other sets.

No, it is reskinned for light and medium, but it is still heavy as far as looks are concerned. Considering that all the recent armor pieces we got (Molten gauntlets, horns of the dragon and zephyrite helmets) are also heavy, it does pose some problems for those that wanted a more diverse look.
