Guild Wars 2

Why do you actually release so many weapons and yet so few armor skins? It has been said multiple times, that medium armor for males ONLY has trenchcoats and nothing attractive at all. Will thi sstay like that? Will ascended armor be a potato bag for male rangers, thieves and engineers?

Medium armor for males & females is practically the same, if for guys it’s a coat- then 99% of the time for ladies it is too – There certainly needs to be medium armor that doesn’t have a coat that extends below the waist – More armors in general that can look great on not only human sets but the Charr & Asura as well & not oversized on Norn.

There needs to be a dang check box on the chest piece like the ones on helmet/shoulders/gloves that lets you TURN OFF every scrap of the chest item that falls below the waist.

Advantage of trenchcoats : You can be pant-less and no one will suspect a thing

Quite the opposite: people suspect it even when you are wearing pants.

That would be amazing.

Nike is on to something… every armor piece needs to be possible to show/hide visibility; not just head/shoulder/hands/feet. Charr usually run around in harnesses or bare-chested even, now you have to sacrifice not wearing chest armor to achieve that while really it should just be a case of toggle visibility.

So what if you get a bunch of weirdos running around semi-naked – after all you still have your “bikini” parts – that novelty effect of being naked though armored wears off after a week or two.

I wasn’t suggesting off-checking the chest piece renders you topless – I meant a toggle that turns most medium chest pieces into a simple coat rather than a down-to-your-fricken-ankles long-coat.

because a single weapon model is fast to develop.
While an armorsets is ot only longer but needs to be adapted to different models and races….its more than 10X more time consuming.

They said something similar in an interview.
