Guild Wars 2

I like sexy outfits, I do.

But… I really wish I could wear the male Shadow Assassin armor on my female character.

The open holes on the female version’s pants look odd and make me feel icky. I imagine that they were inspired by hakama pants which have an open space like that on the side, but that space has fabric when worn correctly.

I’m not complaining about any sort of historical accuracy. This is a fantasy game, that would be silly. I just don’t like the holes in the female pants. But there is more to this…

The difference between the male and female Shadow Assassin armor is so different. It feels like you could have made two different costumes available. (That’s more money in your pockets Anet with not much more work to get it done.)

Maybe a toggle and a bit of refitting so that male and female costumes could be worn by both genders? I’d pay real money for a gadget in the Wardrobe that would allow for changing the gender of clothing.

I’m so confused. I don’t understand fully why this particular costume bothers me so much, but it really does.

Attached are some roughly constructed examples of what I’d like to see.

(Other than this, I have been enjoying the game greatly! I think this is a great game. Good work!)

Yeah, the holes are just…weird. It’d be nice if there was an option to cover up skin with like some sort of chainmail or some material. The rest of the female design is good.

Yeah, I’d be happy with just the holes filled in.

Although it would be cool to have the option for the male version. They are just so different.

I’m sure they won’t change the costume at this point. But maybe they might consider this for future costumes?

Thanks for your opinion on it! Glad I’m not alone.

Its a female. Everyone knows that females have to have sex appeal (read : a certain level of body selling) no matter what they are doing. Nurse? sex. Teacher? sex. Hyper deadly assassin that will do anything (and I mean anything) to kill their target? sex. Everything that involves the female has to involve sex appeal in some way, or it doesn’t sell. economics(/biology/psychology) 101!!!

(this post sounds like sarcasm, but its actually not. Its just how the world works)

Not allowed. Ever! Imagine the male outrage!

I, too, would like it better without the “cellulite windows”.

Other than that I can say that I like both the male and the female version, and I agree that they should be two separate outfits, both available to both genders.

(Also, they should be armor skins. … … … … …)

Don’t like the holes either. They don’t fit the assassin look imo. I’m just using the male version. I tried the female version and it was too jarring seeing her fight wearing the equivalent of harem pants mixed with assassin top.

I ..like the holes :x

i dont think the pants have to not have holes, but you have illustrated your point well that they could in fact both be different armors.

I fully agree, that they should probably have both versions.

However, i think anet is more concerned with time at this point. Thats one of the reasons they want to do outfits now, because its less time splitting up the peices and seeing how they interact with other peices.

That’s why I don’t understand that they put in the time to create two separate outfits but then deny each character one of the two based on the gender and sell it as one.

If you’re pressed for time, then why design something completely different for the two genders?

If you have the time to design two, why not sell them separately and make more money?

I like the holes

I like the holes

I like them too, but I would still like an option to cover them up when I don’t want my character to have her hips out in the open. There’s a time for sexy, and then there are times for not so sexy.

because you believe the cost of retailoring it to the other gender doesnt = the projected profits from its sale.
IE they think that if they only have the time to tailor one male, and one female, they are going to pick the male on they think will sell the best, and the female one they think will sell the best.

That’s why you have different armor sets and outfits. The good thing about outfits is that you can just put them on for free wherever you are.

why is the female version so much shinier?! guys like shiny metal things too!

Huh, I didn’t really notice until you pointed it out. I’d like some more shine everywhere. lol.

That makes no sense: with limited resources, it is still much more efficient to create and then retailor a single armor than to create two separate ones.
