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! Are there pics up somewhere, or do I have to wait for the Wiki to be updated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was really nice getting Rift Stalker (Medium) and Astral Ward (Light) armour that could be used on all weight classes to broaden out appearance customization. If I remember correctly, the big coding hang-up is because of Medium coding trenchcoats; so it'd be nice if ANet revisited that coding, brought it up to be consistent across all weight classes, but I know that's delving deep into the spaghetti. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graystream.3271 Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 I don't understand why this would be locked behind wvw. As a way to get people to play wvw maybe? I doubt more than a handful of players will replay a reward track 6 times to get a single set of this new armor. And I can imagine even regular wvw players are not a big fan of activating the same reward track that many times. Why put so much time and effort into such beautiful armor sets just to waste it like this? Sometimes I really don't understand arenanets decisions. Such a waste. Why not lock it behind some map currency specific currency so people can grind it out on the new maps and enjoy the expansion instead 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookimyun.4316 Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 Please please please give us another way to get the Woad Armor set! I so badly want to play this expansion story with it on, but the thought of grinding a WvW track 18 times completely turns me away from even wanting to obtain it. 6 7 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cernoch.8524 Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 I wish it will stay as it is, let WvW players have something extra. But if they decide to make some new way of getting it, it will probably take months, just so you know. Better play the story in some other armor :). If not then good news, you only need to do track 6 times since you can use all 18 pieces on one character. 11 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cookimyun.4316 Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 And before someone says it...I understand that WvWers need to go into PVE to obtain things, but why must it be this way at all? Why not make things accessible depending on what you enjoy? 10 3 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookimyun.4316 Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 You say have something extra, but why? I don't see why it needs to be a "catered to" thing at all. Why not just make everyone happy and allow it through WvW, PVP and PVE? 3 1 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly for the reason you said, because majority of items we can get ONLY in PvE. Sure, if we could get everything from all 3 game modes, then none would complain but it is way too late for that now after 12 years. Anet probably wants players to play all modes, which really makes sense from dev perspective. And people simply like "exclusive" items/skins.

You're playing the story and seeing all the Kodan wearing it, just to discover that you only get it through WvW? It's just so disappointing. 2 1 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it was because in previous expansion WvW players did not really get much besides reward track. Btw, even if they made everything accessible from all modes, there is no way it would require same work or same money, so people would complain anyway. Why WvW players have it harder to get this and that, why it cost more to get it from PvE and so on. So at the end it is probably the best to just have one way of getting it. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luthan.5236 Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 Seems odd to have a set WvW only - with something not focused on WvW (the PvE expansion). Does it have a specific reward track? Named "Woad Armor reward track"?) If not (if it is named "Janthir Wilds" or "Lowlands" or something like that) it would be more indicating a different way to obtain certain armor. The WvW unique stuff has own reward track names. Then maybe they forgot to put it in. Maybe you were supposed to get it by doing the story? (I saw in the wiki other sets that come with recipes but the story did not award anythign yet. Pre-Soto we usually had stuff where you got a skin box at story steps.) Also it would be super weird to add yet more exclusive stuff to WvW when PvP actually could need a bit more. (WvW already has more there.) 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could understand one of the other two armors being WvW exclusive, but the Woad armor is sooooo strange to me. You would think that it would be a recipe through the heart vendors that you unlock or something like that, but no, it's something completely unrelated to the story and PVE maps?? :,((( 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just called Janthir Wilds and doesn't give you any information on if it's in the last chest or not, so we only found out from players completing it. It's so mysterious and hidden for no reason!!! Like why!!!?? 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But weird is that WvW and PvP always had same track for each expansion (usually only 1 track lately) which means track in PvP should have the armor too no? But then it would not be exclusive from WvW....strange. I did not check PvP tracks so I am not sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
