Please add high-heeled designs for footwear / boots / shoes / armor. We know they’re unrealistic in combat but this is a fantasy game and they look great for female characters.

Some of the light Armors already have high heels- the winged set and the feathered set comes to mind.

true, but we need more…MUCH more!

and while they are at it, please add more armor designs. For a game that is basically an outfit simulator….there really arent many outfits.

There weren’t really that many outfits in GW1 until some of the xpacs came in. I expect we’ll get outfit specific xpacs in this game to keep us going.

I’d support this if it was optional and if they let the female characters wear the male versions of their armors (obviously with slight modifications for body shape changes), then and only then would it be acceptable.

However, the sexism in a lot of the female versions of armor is too much already. Adding in something as terrible as high heels would make it worse, unless there was a credible option to have sensible shoes/boots alternative skins.

Currently, most of the less-bad sexist armors are only low level, and fairly bland (in terms of textures and detailing). Lack of “sexy” armor for females is not a problem – see most any high level set. For example, the tier 3 human medium – basically Vegas hooker uniform.

I’d support this, provided they were just ‘optional extras’ for skins, I mean some people like them, some don’t. What’s the harm of including them for those that DO like them?

Really. Try this.

Not just charr. What about the asura? There would be absolutely no way they could balance themselves in high heels.

Make them cosmetic only. Or, if you make them for combat, throw in a stability modifier. Let the silly kitten fall on her kitten a few times in combat.

IMHO, they need to unlock armor appearances completely. Stat’s they can keep associated to professions but skins, they should be applicable to everyone. Then as you asked, more…. much more!

Really, that’s wrong. Check out light dungeon armor for example: http://www.gw2armor.com/norn/female/light_list.php

High heels! But give minus -50% move speed in Sparkfly Fen and other swampy areas such as recently resurfaced seafloor places.

I for one agree with the suggestion of high heels, for the mere fact that I loved them on my gw1 ele.

gods no. I’m glad that this ISN’T one of the slew of games with high heeled streetwalker armor like Tera.

As someone who actually HAS worn high heals, you would be kitten hard pressed not to destroy your ankle in LA, let alone Caladon or Orr.

Are people really worried with how hard would be to walk? And give speed debufs? The Winged set has high heels already.
As for realism there are MUCH bigger fish to fry, every time you get killed you WP to life, 100’s of times, an Ettin smashes a club on your head an all you get is knocked down, there’s a health bar…

Having said all that the real problem is creating the assets.
We’ve been getting gloves helmets and shoulders because…? They’re easy to adapt between races.

Excluding Human & Sylvari, the playable races have very different body shapes.
So for a chest piece you have 4 races (joining the 2 alike) x 2 genders x 3 armor classes, and that’s not even counting the slight different body types on the character creator, I remember I had a female human engi that had a lot of clipping problems.
Do all the math and for 1 chest piece you provably have hundreds of variations that have to be molded.

If we do get the Tengu I’m guessing legs and shoes are gonna be automatically hidden, possibly even gloves.
