Zahark.7610 Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 What about a new way of acquiring the new Woad armor, @ArenaNet? Completing a reward track that can take up to 6 hours (with boosts) 6-18 times (36-108 hours) is not cool for pve players, seriously. Isn't being forced to do wvw/pvp for gift of battle enough? Tsc tsc... 17 1 4 12 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashantara.8731 Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 Oh, I was wondering how that one can be obtained. After looking up all three armor sets, though, I need to say that the one in the Homestead is the only one worth acquiring. 😄 The Titanplate is the worst, the Woad looks weird, but the Polychromatic one - correctly dyed - looks like a medieval knight's armor, which I find very cool! 4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really liked the wild look of the woad, it matches the expansion's theme. Sadly I don't know if I'll get it because 36 hours of wvw is too much for me.

In my previous post, I merely tried to communicate that I had been trying to figure out where the set was being sold, and now I know it's a Reward Track reward. Okie dokie. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Witch of Doom.5739 Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 Where can we see the Woad and Titanplate Armor? I've seen the Polychromatic and love it; that's definitely what I'm going to collect first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You alrady have the GoB XD But seriosuly, locking things behind WvW/PVP or PVE is dumb. it needs to be equally available in all modes.  9 1 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you got to a bank npc, you can check your account wardrobe. It also includes most locked skins. Can use the gear name in the search there to preview it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zahark.7610 Posted August 22 Author Share Posted August 22 Will ArenaNet even see this topic or I'm wasting my time? I'm really sad that the best looking armor from the expansion and the only one that changes based on armor weight , is locked in wvw. 😪 3 3 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pifil.5193 Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 (edited) I thought the Titanplate looked promising at first then I previewed The Great Wall of Shoulders? The Shoulder Shower Curtains? I dunno. Then I saw the helmet and realised that my Asura looked like a side table. Fitting for the Homestead armour. I do like the Polychromatic armour a lot. I'm surprised to see the Woad armour is WvW but I guess they want to add something for that mode too. 1 hour ago, Zahark.7610 said: Will ArenaNet even see this topic or I'm wasting my time?

Do you have links to that data? WvW has consistent queues and a lot of players I know who play pve also play WvW regularly. 4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeanBB.4268 Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 There's nothing on the wiki for this yet. I assume the armor is accountbound once obtained, so won't be showing up on the TP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One piece of woad armor is the final reward. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batel.9206 Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 Is there truly no other way to get the Woad armor? 😕 That kinda sucks. Well, guess I need to get back into WvW somehow, whether for Gifts of Battle or for this...oh well. For the medium armor alone, it'll be worth it. (If anybody sees a sylvari Harbinger running around like a headless chicken - wave and say hi, that's probably me.) 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phyrosite.2504 Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 @Rubi Bayer.8493Â May we please have clarification on if Woad is supposed to be exclusive to WvW/PvP reward tracks? Both the heart vendors and the unusual coin vendors sell Titanplate armor recipes, which seems like it may be redundant. It feels like the unusual coin vendor is supposed to have Woad armor recipes instead since all the heart vendors sell specific recipes for Titanplate armor pieces. 2 6 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scar.1793 Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 (edited) woad armor looks pretty cool but... it flattens my norn alt breasts. Also, it is weird that the only armor the kodan use is locked behind a WvW only reward. Seems their WvW "rework" is so bad they actually need ways to incite participation.

ArgentDaMeme.5968 Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 (edited) Unless it's changed to, say, competing the track once and you get the whole set of one weight? I'm not enthusiastic about doing a WvW track so many times either for all the armor pieces. I wanna get every set, I just don't have that kind of time on my hands.

Previewing the medium armor, I was happy that my norn ranger didn't suddenly get a flat chest. That's been a truly annoying trend recently.

Sadly you get one piece per full reward track. Its bunch of choice chests. So this means we need to do the reward track 18 times to get all pieces Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alastor.4691 Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 Considering its not "clusvie " to mcm or pvp it seems to me that its more of the usual "alternate way to get the armor" we still do not know if we get extra rewards if getting new ranks with the prestige hearts...my hope its that it comes from that as it makes sense that helping the kodans, give sthe armor the kodans are using...0 sense that the most expansion themed armor is not gathered through the expansion... the polychromatic makes more sense for a pvp/mcm reward than the woad 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
