A R S M A E L.3750 Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Well, i dont like it, too much hype and nosthalgia for a average skin. I talked with my guildies, no one want it bcs the pvp and wvw are easier and looks better . ANET pls. This was my favorite expansion , the concept of a full plate heavy armor is really nice...just give it an animation or aura that feels and looks leggyyy * die * 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes perfect sense! 👍😂 3 hours ago, A R S M A E L.3750 said: Well, i dont like it Me, neither. I wasted time, thousands of gold (for essences) and quite some materials on the heavy skin and now I really don't want it. 😱 This will teach me to never start working on something again that we have not seen an in-game image of.

Lord Trejgon.2809 Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 I like the visuals of new legendary armors provided so far. Really like the medium, heavy is ok, light I would not use whole set visually, but has pieces I may want to use. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padrion.7382 Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Among all the many, many armor skins present in this game there are surprisingly few that can compete with the good old cultural armor in terms of looks. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zera.9435 Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Just something to think about: since there is a variant, who's to say they won't add more and different variants in the future? If nothing else, the armor is worth making both for QoL and that potential for more variants. Even if they don't add more variants, at least I will finally have 3 legendary armor sets and I didn't have to deal with game modes that I don't like to get it, because kitten raids, kitten WvW, and especially kitten PvP. It's a win for me. 3 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is zero chance you will get more variants for this armor since the expansion will end after content drop 4 ( this is were the variant launch) and next expansion will ship afew months after. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're probably right, but there is a chance they can make a variant that requires the next expansion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumpin Lumpix.6108 Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 (edited) I think they look terrible, light armor reminds me of beauty and the beast outfit lmao. No particle effects either...... Also dervish obsidian armor was the coolest in gw1, but none of them look like that so..... yah.... also people arguing convenience is the draw? Oh yah its definitely easy to get elated over something as exciting as convenience......... in an mmo which is built around end game fashion...... lol. Oh and its convenience we've had since 2015 when HoT launched with legendary raid armor lol. https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Obsidian_armor#/media/File:Obsidian_armor_1.jpg https://beauty-and-the-beast-disney.fandom.com/wiki/Prince_Adam/Beast https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Obsidian_armor#/media/File:Dervish_Obsidian_armor_f.jpg Edited February 22 by Jumpin Lumpix.6108 2 1 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, if people only wanted nice armor skin, it didn't needed to be legendary at all. 8 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashen.2907 Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 I didnt pursue legendaries until the armory was added. The utility of having access to free stat switching on every character was the draw. Ive skinned over every single piece. And Dervish Obby was one of the ugliest skins in GW1. Its almost as if different people can have different preferences without being a hive mind. 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think there is any chance of that, the features on the next expansion will have to be standalone too. They don't add anything based on the assumption that people own a previous expansion. In the future they may add another way to get a different set of legendary armour but not variants of this one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its almost as if different people can have different preferences without being a hive mind. Before the armory, I made legendaries for the skins. After I made all skins I liked but still had no armory, I decided to make one of each weapon type. Armory came about after I had already made several weapons, so it ways an immediate bigger pay off when the armory did come. Besides, it's all about Ranger Obby armor. 6 hours ago, Pifil.5193 said: I don't think there is any chance of that, the features on the next expansion will have to be standalone too.

I suppose I'm just being optimistic, or maybe I'm just trying to put the idea into the heads of the devs. The only reason I bought SotO was the legendary armor, so for me, a variant to that armor would be a selling point for the new expansion to me. Idiotic, I know, but I can't seem to help it. Maybe I'm just excited about getting my 3 armor sets next week to outfit all 26 of my characters with. 26 armor set reskins for a total cost of 0 transmutation charges. That's a win for me.

Bollocks.4078 Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 I'll be shooting for all 3 OW sets, starting with light. Light is the worst looking one to me. I'm doing strictly for the functionality. I'm not concerned about how it looks. I can always re-skin anyway. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grouwdi.6279 Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 So the new Legendary Armor for Light classes looks like the outfit that Joffery wore in Game of Thrones. Glad I'm Medium armor, but then again thank you for changing appearances. (incoming fanboy rage below) 5 3 15 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
