    @Colddog

     

    The problem is, I know the Norn has the cultural armor that looks a little like it...

     

    But the reason I wanted to choose Norn, was actually because of THAT set... Because all norn artwork shows they look like that:

    So if I want to look like that, I should actually roll Humans... and not Norn?

    No, you should roll female, not male.

    Going to slap the Norn T3 cultural on my Norn male myself. Though not in these colors.

    Also Orrian aromor has nothing to do with Norn Style because it's not made by Norns. Don't like it dont wear it.

  • MikeJezZMikeJezZ Member UncommonPosts: 1,268

    God damnit, I was so sure that I would roll Norn only because of their gear... and also big size...

     

    Now I really dont like any race... :(

     

    I was hoping to get some of that mighty evil armor... But looks like only females will look evil...

    True that set looks nice.

     

    However I really dont like their "barely naked" armor sets they have in medium and light...

     

    The pictures on the Duffy page, is it all the gear in the game or just everything we know now?

    When I look at Norn art, they pretty much look like the Human version of that set:

    So why does the humans have this armor and not the Norn? Generally the art behind Norn does not show the typical armor they wear if you ask me...

    You can transmute and dye all gear in game.

     

    What's the problem again ?

    Those are all the elite armor sets in the game at the moment.

    You really, really need to read a bit more on the game.

    Your armor type will define the kind of gear that you wear, there are some race ornamental gear but that's that.

     

    Other then that you can dye and transmute all gear in game, you'll preety much have the look you want if you work for it.

    I fail to see the drama on this...

  • XzenXzen Member UncommonPosts: 2,607

    Nothing stopping you from mix and matching either using transmute stones. If you like the Orrian Heavy set except for the helm transmute it with the norn T1 cultural and you should get the horn style you like. =)

    http://media.giantbomb.com/uploads/6/67196/2234909-gw117.jpg

    Most likely? Yeah. Norn are against mobilizing armies. As a culture they look down on it, and unless something has changed radically would never form a fully fledged army complete with banner. The latter of which, looks to be about as far from Norn as a charr looks like a dog.

    Just because it popped up on google, doesn't mean crap. You again posted the same picture of a Son of Svanir, another picture just looks like the cultural Dreadnaught armor, and that last one? I'd actually like to see the source of the picture, as far as I'm aware of that isn't a piece of concept art. Which is needed to prove your point, just because someone drew a big fancy picture of what they'd love to see for a norn, doesn't support the idea of it being "dark gear with horns".

     

    Also, learn to transmute. You're allowed to mix and match armor for a reason.

  • WolvardsWolvards Member Posts: 650

    Just going to chime in what i'm thinking about this...

    Transmutation and full armor sets....

    First the armor sets, these are FULL armor previews, that means Head, Shoulders, Chest, Leggings, Boots.

    Mix and match what you want to create your look. Like this helm? BAM Transmute your stats you want on it to it. Like this piece of chest that shows off your norn man tits? BABLAM! Transmutated man-tits.

    That's the thing, these previews are ENTIRE armor sets, like one thing but not another? CHANGE IT, it's that awesomely simplified. Don't like your color scheme? Get some Dyes! Change it up! 

    Just look at all these Dyes so far!!!

    Soooo many dyes. Make him look like a giant horned banana with norn boobs. Or a rainbow norn!! I'm going to make my Asura Necro rainbow... Picture that haha..

    Just wanted to point out that the 2nd link you posted is not actually a norn. That's one of the corrupted Norns (sons of Svanir) and are actually villains in the game, not playable characters.

    That said, there are some armors that look more gothic:

    And you can also dye them darker.

    Furthermore, the starter dye (ebony) isn't actually black. There are pure black & white dyes in the game, and yes, they will be expensive to buy, as they are rare dyes.

    There are probably some other helms that are not a part of the "elite" sets that fit what you are looking for.

    That one looks more like the cultural Armour. It's different than the one from previous concept art. The Svanir one has bare chest, this one has it covered. The horns also, are not straight "demonic" horns but stag horns. Subtle differences.

    Yup. Only by Norn. It's T3 Cultural Heavy Armour (level 80)

    You're missing a fundemental part of the conversation mate. It has nothing to do with the fact that the human has different armor, it has to do with the fact that it looks different on male/female. A female norn's armor will look like the human female's armor. Also, the norn pic you keep linking is a corrupted norn, a Son of Svanir. That armor is likely not available.

    Keep in mind that the colors on those screenshots are 100% customizable... you don't have to keep the pink/blue/purple colors, you can dye everything in black or metal color if you want to.
