Divity.3049 Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 I just post this as feedback. I hope Arenanet gives players who already own a set of armor a discount of some sort for the new one since we would just get them for the skins (which looks great) 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkk.3018 Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 No. If you want the armor for the skin, then you will get it for the skin. It's like saying I have the gen 1 leggy greatsword and want a discount on the gen 2 and gen 3. I have all leggy armors and will be aiming to get all the new ones. So far, the costs seem quite reasonable and you have months to prepare for them since the costs are known now. 5 3 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arianth Moonlight.6453 Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 going for a legendary just for the skin is a total waste but Darkk.3018 is right. although PvP/WvW players should get some kind of "significant progress" towards being able to buy/grind the new legendary armor since we own a legendary armor with no unique skin. 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a bad reason because you gain something from getting another legendary weapon of the same kind since you can only equip it once per template, armor doesnt serve that purpose. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because its a different gamemode, the new armor is PvE too while WvW is PvX and PvP is...well PvP. But even if you ignore that which you are welcome to do, just because it hasn't been done that way in the past, doesn't mean they shouldn't do it now! A Game evolves and there is nothing wrong with giving a discount for something purely asthetic. Open your mind a bit 🙂 3 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Game evolves and there is nothing wrong with giving a discount for something purely asthetic. Open your mind a bit 🙂 All 3 armor sets are fully useable in PvE. In fact, SPvP armor is even pretty much useless in SPvP, because the gearing system there works completely differently. And any player that already has WvW and/or SPvP that is crafting envoy armor is also doing it for purely aestethic reasons. So, there's no difference. Either a discount for all cases of duplicate legendary armors of the same weight but from different sets, or no discount at all. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's just an argument about how some players do not deserve the discount you want for yourself for purely arbitrary reasons that completely coincidentally (of course) do not cover you. Again, either a discount for everyone, equally, or no discount at all. Edited August 25, 2023 by Astralporing.1957 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoni.7015 Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 (edited) I agree, there should be a discount for the new legendary armor for players that already have legendary armors. Especially for the WvW and PvP armor this would make sense and be fair. Or they should give the new skin to WvW and PvP legendary.

I said its fine if we get a discount either way so your whole comment makes no sense at all. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xDumplinx.7983 Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 Well if ANet are going to give legendary rune holders a big discount towards the new relic why should they not give the same big discount to legendary armour holders towards the new set? Sounds fair to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quench.7091 Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 I'm fine with anything, really. A long term goal isn't a bad thing. At the same time, it is just an unlockable appearance to me, so a reduced cost would be appreciated. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds fair to me It's not really the same thing though? Legendary rune holders had functionality (value) taken away from them and moved to the relic system; they're being compensated for that lost value. If you already have a legendary armor set you're not losing anything from a new set being introduced. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
