Talk:Assassin Obsidian armor

This is Shit

Biggest waste of money ever. You would really have to be quite stupid to spend weeks on end farming just to get this shitty armor. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 74.32.118.61 (talk • contribs) at 00:21, 21 June 2008 (UTC).

Good thing is its a matter of opinion. Just because you hate it doesn't mean others do. So saying its a waste of money and that the armor is shit is plain ignorant. Reaper 17:56, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

Well, not strictly opinion. There's also general aesthetics applied. The obsidian armor, for its price, simply doesn't look interesting enough or stick out enough on an assassin. Maybe a good dye combination could cure this somewhat. Pretensciousboy 02:25, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

White and Pink look good on it, imo. RitualDoll 15:15, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

I agree, i would have though it was starter armour without looking at wiki, because its just so bland and unimaginative. I think the vast majority of GW agrees that most other assasin armours look better than this, especially kurzick. --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:91.110.79.232 (talk).

Best assassin armor ever. Not flashy, no strange blades in a tangle sticking out of my arms like Kurzick 1k and 15k, both nightfall sets, Exotic 1k and 15k, and Imperial 1k and 15k, all of which look the same to me. Dye it black and it blends in with dark area's really well. It's not unimaginative, its slightly realistic, and as for the vast majority of Guild Wars players... they can wear what they want, I really don't care what they think about how my pixels look.

My god, awesomeness armor ever :D--Blahishness 15:42, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

imo this armor doesnt look so bad if you have it dyed white with white chaos gloves and maybe white mo zing --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:66.232.249.204 (talk).

This is how generic sins (and monks, and warriors, and rangers, and eles etc.) look like. SO HORRIBLE! You have no taste. --TheyCallMeIgi 00:56, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

Lol, how dare someone have different tastes than you have? Someone likes that look, oh, the horror. /sarcasm Elysea 01:03, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

Unimaginative. dull. and ugly. this armor looks like the short bus kids decided to glue knives to their 1peice sets of PJ's. i realize some people look for "realism" in an armor set but good lord. you CANT mean this?! its ghastly! and why is it that 9/10 assassins i see wearing this are absolute jerk-offs? does getting an expensive armor set alter your mental state so that your a dick? or is it a pre-requisite to deal with other dicks who mercilessly slaughter ecto prices by farming? good greif! how much UGLIER can an armor set be? and why would you dye it black!?!?! what the hell are you?! mister game and @#%$ing watch!? its the 20th century. stop being a stick figure and put some imagination in your char. jeez. and btw yes i do run an assassin. CRIT HARDER!!!

Can you guess which is more expensive? Armor 1 Armor 2. Yeah... that's how much this sucks. Imperial looks like elite obsidian... and look at elite imperial. Assassin_Elite_Imperial_armor --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:96.245.211.38 (talk).

Reset) Revisiting this page. Just wanna say one more time how crappy this set of armor is. ESPECIALLY dyed black. Ill sum it up for ya. This armor is the single most ugly peice of shit terribly skinned armor in the entire game. I would rather wear shing jea armor than this crap. Such a horrible failure as i have never seen in the entire history of guildwars. It is the most awful, Terrible, lame, unexciting, Waste of time/Effort/Money that you can possibly have anything to do with. Just FYI. And yes i did have to spend money on this shitty set of armor so i could put in my HoM. >.<!!! Briar 02:46, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

Aww someone doesn't like this armor because it doesnt make females look like whores and males look like they came from some bad cartoon villan's wardrobe? Sure seems like hyprocracy to argue that people who like this are tasteless. Zero4549 13:01, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

The funny thing about people saying its too basic is that the best Assassin armor is the starter set (Shing Jea dyed black with black bandanna is what my sin uses), which is the most basic of all. That said it isn't the only let down Obby set (monk, ele, female mes, male war and derv).

Snake?

Doesn't this armor remind you of the stuff Solid Snake wears? --Zal 08:53, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

YES, OH MY GOD. Someone finally agrees!Shinomori 23:20, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

ya it does remind me of Mgs4,cuz it looks just as shiny as the suits that the "beasts" wear. got it a few weeks ago, looks rather awesome. shinier than i thought it would be Xd--24.154.188.10 04:50, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

1st thing I though of when i saw this...untill I saw the price and if I could hint this Null can be easly made as an Assassin User:Firoas is attempting it Zachariah Zuan 22:01, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

MGS4? That looks more like the one from 2. Though... now that it's said, I have to get it for my Assassin... great. All that farming is going to be wasted... Argh >.< Aldarik 14:36, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

Id have to say MGS2. But definately looks like Snake's outfit just dye it blue and don't wear or hide the mask and tada! Also dont forget the hair but eh. :D -Kage No Yugata 02:27, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

Clipping Issue?

Ugliest Elite Armor for Assassins

In my opinion, this has to be the ugliest elite armor you could get an assassin. Looks cheap and too basic. --65.0.126.177 23:31, 27 December 2009 (UTC)

It seems that its true value simply relies on two factors.

1. It identifies you of having obtained Obsidian armor and
2. shoutout to MGS fans (see above).

Ever seen it dyed? The blue color really doesn't serve it justice.

It's not ugly, it's just, as you said, too basic looking.-- anguard 05:44, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

This is the only armour set I want for my sin (female). I've been sitting here for an hour in disappointment because the only decent looking sets are Vabbian and Obsidian, which both cost a fortune. BO6B 02:38, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

I hope you realize this one costs more. Freaper 17:50, 22 November 2010 (UTC)

HORRIBLE texture glitch on the mask with male assassin Emo Hair

I would get a picture but I dun have any. It is a relatively common sight though. It's still really bad. Emo hair is the assassin's trademark...and their most expensive armor doesn't work with their trademark? Anet did a HERP DERP. 71.194.87.164 05:57, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
