Guild Wars 2: All Obsidian Armors Tier 1 Showcase (All Races)

[@ItsNaberius]

You mad lad, I love it. Can't wait to farm these out

[@RecklessFables]

I downloaded the patch a little late. Flew around the new zone on my griffon. By the time I did that Lord Hizen had 3 full sets of armor, LOL. I think I'll try the new story tonight or maybe tomorrow.

[@qcop4921]

Light set " yeh let's turn everyone into GW1 mesmers"

[@lizan4990]

ANet: He can't possibly win this, right? Lord Hizen: Nah, I'd win. Narrator: He did, in fact, win.

[@GlacierRain]

He's for real real.

[@michaelpoulin5073]

You are the man of the impossible! I never thought this was possible! AMAZING!

[@embreis2257]

by this point ANet should admit defeat. there is simply no point in trying...

[@connorconcarne]

Haha amazing, you're an absolute machine! Loved the intro and thanks for all your hard work mate!

[@connorconcarne]

Also, the nostalgia from the Skyrim music laid me out for a solid hour.

[@wyldlibrarian3549]

Congratulations for all the hard work and thanks for showing us. Loved the colour schemes you chose too . Well done !

[@tonimi137]

Thank you, Lord Hizen. I was planning on making the light armor, but was hesitant since I wasn't sure what it'd look like. Pants on the female races, however, cinches it. I'll definitely be making the light armor now.

[@domgren8027]

Good work mate👍🏻

[@ADStrike1]

great taste in music

[@isbammoi3358]

You're amazing, ty for this. It's a bit motivating cause I really want that light armor set

[@BonkiHart]

Yeeees been waiting for a video since the moment you told us you got all the materials! 😂

[@lunerlilly]

Ok for those who are new or have never made a legendary, they have always been in steps. We already were aware this is not the complete look. Even if it were, you can transmog legendary gear as much as you want freely. Just think of these as a precursor.

[@Gabinwtf]

You say they are going to add improvements to the skin of these armors?

[@geoffreyfey3375]

@@Gabinwtf Final Update for this expansion is estimated for May 14th release date based on Wizard's Vault. At time time, they'll release Tier 2 versions of this armour. If you look at PvP or WvW Armour, there are two versions. Tier 1 is the "base" armour. After unlocking Tier 1, you can then unlock Tier 2, with Tier 2 having glowing effects throughout the armour, updated visuals, and the WvW version's chestpiece having glowing tendrils similar to the Mursaat

[@Xeniltur]

@@geoffreyfey3375 be aware that this armor will not function like pvp/wvw armor : pvp/wvw share their skins with the ascended version that is used as a precursor during the craft (ie. both shiny and non shiny versions are available as ascended). Rubi said on the forums that this armor will work similarly to Aurene's legy weapons and their variant for the T2.

[@Kringerel]

The fully completed version look dookir

[@lunerlilly]

@@Kringerel everything except the heavy armor. Cloth looks decent but not worth the grind in appearance.

[@Insig385]

I love how for the charr heavy set theres an extended piece covering the root if the tail, its so cute!

[@meh_so_what8943]

in the raid leggy heavy armor for charr it transforms to cover the tail in armor when your weapon/s are unsheathed. Maybe they were also going for that in this armor set.

[@KuroNekoji]

Our Lord (and saviour) at it again Thanks for the showcase!

[@rheono5839]

This is why I follow you dude!

[@bulletdancestorm554]

And so Lord Hizen never did another rift hunting event ever after…

[@jmoore9157]

really nice video and beautiful music Thank you

[@joro148]

At first i wasn`t sure about the light one but after watching a few videos i changed my mind.All 3 are very cool. GZ.

[@FreeDoM_nl]

Cool new leggo Armor. This is a nice project to work on for the upcoming months! Lord Hizen: "How about hours?"

[@El_Carlangas]

Congrats! I mean, I was expecting Lord Hizen would be one of the first to get the armour, but what it really spark my curiosity is how you can put the 3 diferent types of armor in the same character. Of course there is a chance that you indeed created 3 characters with the same face, for each gender and race.

[@h3rpad3rpacifilis]

Some people have maxed out character slots. Two genders of each weight for every race isn't a lot to those people.

[@ChoJun69]

im warrior lover since start, i have all races chars except asura rats as zerker class just for different looks depending on my mood, literally one ranger that i made on the game launch and quit mid base-game storyline and then 6-7 warriors.. Some people have each race with multiple duplicates for male/female.

[@Halak014]

Hizen is a Batman against Anet, enough prep time and he can do anything :D

[@Quibbillykins]

Wow, that's quality armour!

[@cyprianpukszta9136]

I look forward to your new op builds ^^

[@GodOfBow1]

Hizen: Crafting 18 pieces in somewhat an hour Me: Crafting 1 piece in somewhat 18 hours xD

[@Caitmonster]

What an absolute mad lad.

[@Nitidus]

Dude, you're insane. While I was watching Lara's stream on patch day she said that you had just linked her all three sets that you had just completed. That's brutal. Meanwhile here I am, unsure of whether I will finish even one single piece before the end of the season to be able to claim the Astral Acclaim reward, lol.

[@kelmor11]

You sir are a machine!

[@bazookaward3859]

Wow just farming the Rift Essence seems rough. the fact that you got all is amazing. Looking forward to see the ungrudged versions on day 1 as well. 😀😀

[@ekkophantom]

Skyrim enjoyer👀 absolute chad

[@DaCalZone]

Just thinking about getting the essence for one is driving me mad... This is nuts to have already... How many rifts/convergences is this?

[@rilli8831]

Amazing sir .Thank you for this

[@naramsin5271]

Lord Hyzen new Anet CEO :D

[@Czasoniks]

Look, you could do it in one day. With all buffs and with mounts it didn't take so much time to get all of them. And let's be honest - lanterns were just boring, repeating them again and again 18 times (-1 if you done story achievements). And for farming essences - convergences boosted gathering them greatly + weekly rift hunting. Only problem that was was ectoplasm

[@boonsterboom3470]

Yeah, I had 2 full sets within 5 hours of playing ( maybe 8 hours after release), at that point the third set would have taken me about an hour more (6xlanterns). I did not save up stuff for set no 3, as I already have one set of raid armor and did this mainly to avoid having to kill 600 raid bosses. Although that would have been more time efficient probably.

[@WinterHE]

I guess I have to keep waiting for a good looking light legendary armor for female mesmer. The medium one looks okay, on Norn...

[@embreis2257]

it will get better. this is just tier 1

[@MyN0N4M3]

@@embreis225799% sure that T1 =T2, just some added VfX/aura

[@Ficohaker]

Not going to lie, My fav concept art was medium, my fav preview was heavy from what they showed, but in game the best looking on everything is light armour somehow for me. So yeah, even though I said I wont bother getting soto armor, light might actually make me do it

[@ChoJun69]

@@Ficohaker i liked heavy concept, but ingame im w8 for tier 2 showcase, it looks like a basic ass outfit. Light looks like that one crystalized outfit too, even though it's the best looking.

[@elocfreidon]

I love how all of these look. I might have to also get heavy armor set even though I got one from WvW.

[@gregariousgaming9787]

New build videos for vindicator solo and meme is what im here for lol

GUYS! Check out the guild wars 1 obsidian armors sets. Still one of my favorite armor designs in gaming history! Female Mesmer best one.

[@Lobocyfer]

i just want foldable/armored tail on my charr just like the Raid one without raiding :P I need to make pants right, for awesome tail ?

ANet can't even fathom our Lords power and dedication.

[@GuntherCloneC]

I'm a little sad there's no shiny draw weapon effects like with the other Leggy armors. 😞

[@LordHizen]

[@GuntherCloneC]

@@LordHizen I'm going to assume you're not being sarcastic and have hope. 😁

[@biyaostorm]

Happy for everyone that wants to chase that gear. I stay in team ascended gear.

[@VacuumTube88]

Your willpower made out of pure spite against ANet is why we love you

[@redcardinalist]

You're a legend for getting these so quickly. But yet more bland generic armour skins from Anet. By all means guy get these but they just blend in with all the other bloand armour skins out there.

[@Caporai]

Papa Hizen at 4:20 Are you winning, son?

[@be0wulf401]

did you apply your own color scheme or where these the default colors?

[@kajhall3581]

Charr horns and ears on medium armour: We is scared, hide us senpai. Asura ears on medium armour: My ears stop for neither creature nor cloth. All shall bask in my glory.

[@RaptorJesus.]

Bravo on getting them on day 1, and thanks for releasing the vid so early! The armours though, so ugly, so boring D: BUT I guess they can always be transmogged, so it'll be nice having some openworld obtainable statswap gear!

[@its_amarysso]

This got in the game YESTERDAY

[@randomradar6926]

Wow that hard work

[@KingrpgNet]

Any effect on armors?

[@s_mario3281]

gz Lord Hizen

[@EyesOfGehenna]

This is the thing... people are putting a lot of effort and materials into these armor sets WITHOUT even knowing what the end result will be. So I haven't done this at all. I first want to see what it is and then I'll decide whether or not I want to do it. And considering this is a 3-part process, I'm unlikely to do it at all. Besides, when T2 of these armor sets comes out, we'll have the next expansion on the horizon. I just don't see how that's smart of Anet but then again, I might be the exception. I'm very close to finishing my last legendary armor set and so getting this would be purely for the skins, which is exactly why I haven't started on them yet 🤷‍♂

[@Caporai]

No matter how many times i hear it, the unthinkable expression of "what?" always gets me. As for you my Lord. Wow! That's s quality armor.

[@misterfrost5649]

The medium one looks sick.

It will at tier 2 and tier 3 its comes later out

[@MasterCarlock]

On Anet's favor: they cant balance the game around Lord Hizen

[@AngelWings-r4v]

So does the armor have some cool animations or is that it? Either way thank you Hizen for doing this. Gives me a better to whether I want to farm this or not

[@mikedsps]

No, there's no animations on this set. The skins have no effects either. There's a second tier coming in 3 months (another set of skins) but we don't know what that'll look like or how you get it.

[@편하게벌고싶다]

[@MD-ee2fq]

The medium one is the best one. At least if you play a Thief

[@TheStruckLemon]

So it's a legendary or a precussor ? Why it's called Tier 1 ?

[@Picstyle29]

It's actually legendary. Tier one has no effect or animations, tier 2 will come with the next major update, with animations or effect.

[@whyisthisathingnow...]

Disappointing they went with a mesmer look again for the light set. Not many elementalist or necromancer inspired sets around as it is.

[@kubapuchalski8633]

Man, do you have a bot that plays the game for you all the time or are you some kind of millionaire that has all the time in the world to farm this stuff? Next question, if I have, let's say, medium legendary armour from raids, when I craft this will it just unlock a skin or will it replace the one I already have? I'm looking forward to your next video about new weapons :))

[@embreis2257]

since the introduction of the _legendary armory_ all legendary items can be worn by any character on the account who qualifies by level and class. what you unlock is more than a skin, it is the mechanic behind it like changing attributes outside of combat as much as you want etc. if you equip a legendary item the [non-legendary] item which was in that slot gets moved to your inventory.

[@kubapuchalski8633]

@@embreis2257 Mate, I know that :) Maybe I worded my question wrong. I have medium armour from raids, and I was wondering if I craft medium obsidian armour will I basically only unlock skin from it? I'm not sure if I want to waste resources on it :)

@chalski8633 sorry, but then you should know the answer to your question yourself. did you expect something other than a different skin? 🤔
