Guild Wars 2

I’d very much like the tops and bottoms of armor to be broken into segments. Segments with a check box to turn on/off visibility of each zone.

For example on a coat, the ability to turn on/off the sleeve segment would be awesome. Especially for the tops that are asymmetrical or have odd materials for sleeves.

It would take the customization of our characters to a new level. Please consider this….

It would also take a lot of work. It’s not a simple case of hiding textures, but having to create a huge amount of new, interlocking meshes that have to work with every conceivable customisation option imaginable.

For instance, if you take the torso armour and divide it up into three segments – torso and both arms, you need separate meshes for bare arms, that not only fit with that particular armour piece, but for sake of economy, fit other armour pieces as well. On top of that, you have to do this for all five races and both sexes and retroactively apply it to all PvE and PvP armour skins.

People never seem to realize how much work stuff like this would require…
