Petition/Plea for 15k Knight's Armor and Gladiator's Helm!

[:1]Well its a question that's beginning to become timeless... where's the 15k Knight's armor? We see Warmaster Grast decked out in some fancy digs, obviously a reskin of the 1.5k Knight's armor, but as of yet have never seen it on a player. It just simply isn't there for us.

But why? Are its stats too similar to Ascalon Armor? That can't be the case, no. Other classes have armor with similar stats (rather, identical stats) so it can't be that.

And what about the Gladiator's Helm? There's a 1.5k version that is rather plain. It shares the same graphics with a slew of other cheap warrior helmets, which should be offensive to any true gladiator. Though the 1.5k version uses hand-me-down graphics, the 15k version is non-existant! The shock, and horror that is the truth! Something that could have been (and hopefully will be) fantastic has been overlooked.

That's why I'm making this topic. When it boils down to why people want it, it isn't because of the uber stats, its because of the uber style. I for one do not feel complete without a 15k Gladiator's Helm... and neither do the other four pieces of 15k Gladiator's armor. They feel empty inside - incomplete without their long lost brother.

Please, let our voices be heard warriors. We need 15k Knight's Armor, and a 15k Gladiator's Helm. It is nonsensical to not have them available. So I ask those who feel the same to show your support here in this thread, yay or nay to this petition, this plea - but ultimately and not so secretively - demand... for 15k Knights and a 15k Gladiator's Helm.

To make things more interesting and perhaps easier for Anet's art department, post your suggestions as well - historical images/references for what you think the armor in question should look like. Maybe you think the Knight's armor should be merely a reskin, or perhaps you think they should overhaul the graphics - voice your opinion, and keep this thread active and interesting.|||/signed - been looking for 15k Knights Armor since I created my first warrior in may 2005 :)|||Quote:

Dragon and Platemail for Warriors.

Nuh-uh, not really. You don't need it, but it would be nice to have it, it would make a lot of people happy, and since the model and textures are already there... why not?

Wait a minute. Now you're not sticking with one of your opening statements:

See, if it's there, then sure, I don't see why it shouldn't be made available. It probably wouldn't take too long to actually implement. But if you're asking for a skin that is not in the game already, I can't agree anymore, it's almost like asking for a 15k version of Soldier's Armour (the collector skin). Or are you basing your request on the simple fact that Knight's is one of the armours at the Forge, the one without a deluxe version?

As for the Gladiator's Helm, we're already the only class with 15 k headgear. The lack of a helm wouldn't be too hard to integrate and explain in the theme of this particular armour... Though an expensive helm wouldn't be too bad either... meh, can't really offer too solid an opinion on this. But as a general rule, I'm always in favour of a greater variety of skins.

I would like to see 15k Knight's armour, I prefer my Knight's armour over the existing Tyrian 15k armours, so that would be really cool.|||/signed

;)|||Lol

/Signed.

We didn't need 15k Tormentor's either. Which proves whining can get you anything :D

Try it kids : D|||Quote:

Ah, yes, since Pre-Searing, I have found Warmaster Grast's armor particularly cool. |||I want to extend this:



Add the features of Canthan crafters to Tyrian Crafters:

Seperate looks and function in Prophecies, too!|||Glad to see some folks rallying together for the cause, how about your opinions on the visuals? Any photos or descriptions in mind, heck even a drawing would suffice.

I was thinking about this last night, particularly for the Knight's 15k. Though Ascalon, Plate and Dragon's are just reskins of the 1.5k, would you rather see new models (since Gladiator's 15k was given a complete graphical overhaul) for the Knight's 15k or just a reskin? I think the original models can be improved upon just a smidgen, maybe adding some horns or feathers (feathers?) to the helmet, reducing the skirt size a bit, etc.

As for the 15k Gladiator's helm I think its obvious to look at the film Gladiator for inspiration, there were some great prop artists working on that film. I'd also like to see a reskin of the 1.5k Gladiator's helm, giving it metallic textures and such. I'll have to dig around my computer for some photo references.|||/signed
