Talk:Elite armor

is the ascended armor infused? Lancek  10:52, 27 November 2006 (CST)
 * No, it's not automaticly infused. (I know, late answer, but still..) &mdash; Stylva  (talk)(contribs) 18:28, 14 December 2006 (CST)

Armor and Faction
Would someone be so kind as to plainly state whether being allied with the Luxons prevents you from having Kurzick armor crafted and visa-versa? My little guild has just been offered membership in a larger, established Luxon guild, but several of us are working towards Kurzick armor and we don't want to join if it will prevent us from obtaining it. xxovercastxx 23:10, 28 February 2007 (CST)
 * You can have whatever armor you want :) As long as you personally have more Kurzick than Luxon faction, the crafter will craft for you. &mdash; Stylva  (talk)(contribs) 01:09, 1 March 2007 (CST)

Move / split proposal
wait why put a tag to move it BACK? There is no ascended armor in the game... right? &mdash; Rogue  21:25, 11 June 2007 (CDT)


 * The May 24th update notes still use the term Ascended armor, so the term has not been deprecated. Furthermore, the Flowing, Labyrinthine, Cultist, Vabbian, Ancient and Primeval armor sets are not labelled as elite armor, so Ascended armor is a broader term. -- Gordon Ecker 22:01, 11 June 2007 (CDT)
 * See what you've done! Prestige armor (Oh Fyren deleted: (Deletion log); 00:13 . . Fyren (Talk | contribs) (deleted Prestige armor: content was: 'WTF IS THE DIFFERNECE BETWEEN ELITE AND ASCENDED ARMOR!?!' (and the only contributor was '68.111.184.23')): but that was what I was talking about.). I disagree sorta with having it be called ascended armor. I think it was only called that in the notes so that we knew what they were talking about. Its not used in game anymore. And I don't ever hear the term in game. I had only heard 15k armor. Seeing as it doesn't cost 15k anymore, I wouldn't mind putting in some research as to what people are calling it nowadays. Was it always called Ascended prior to that date? 15k Pyromancers was called Ascended Pyromancers by crafters? (I don't remember, I'm too poor to even windowshop for it). But Elite armor is a better name. As to armor that doesn't have elite in the name, its not elite? Its tagged as elite to show the difference between it and standard armor. Does it have to have a non-elite version to be elite? Essentially, I think if people wanna see the expensive armor, elite is the best name for the article. Otherwise we can just call it "The expensive armor". While elite may not describe all the expensive armor, ascended isn't really the best term. I've never heard it used in game even  before the update (but like I said, I'm poor).  And its no longer used anywhere in game (afaik) and the term isn't used around the wiki anymore (because its being changed to elite). So people aren't going to be looking for it. I think I'm rambling now... &mdash; [[Image:JediRogueSig.jpg]]Rogue  01:19, 12 June 2007 (CDT)
 * The term Ascended armor has never been used in-game, however it is frequently used in the update notes. -- Gordon Ecker 01:44, 12 June 2007 (CDT)
 * They got it from us! But the fact that it was never used in game means the average player who doesn't stalk GWiki or the guildwars.com wouldn't even know what it is. Has the term ascended armor been used to describe armor that isn't (currently) labled as elite? Vabbian or obsidian. do they call taht ascended? &mdash; [[Image:JediRogueSig.jpg]]Rogue  02:15, 12 June 2007 (CDT)
 * Yes, it has been used to refer to Monk Flowing armor. -- Gordon Ecker 02:22, 12 June 2007 (CDT)
 * I have another arguement but I am going to bed and refuse to allow myself to be sucked into your sick, sick world of semantics and nomenclature further tonight. But tomorrow is another day...&mdash; [[Image:JediRogueSig.jpg]]Rogue  02:25, 12 June 2007 (CDT)
 * If we keep the article at Elite armor, it should exclude the Vabbian, Ancient and Primeval sets, or list them in the other sets of prestige armor section. Right now, I'd prefer prestige armor as the main article, with Elite armor and Ascended armor as short definition articles. -- Gordon Ecker 02:39, 12 June 2007 (CDT)
