Guild Wars 2

TL;DR VERSION IS IN THE BOLD

We need this more now then ever considering some of the rediculess grind.

Why anet ? Why! In gw1 you were amazing at adding cape variety, and cool capes, we need capes / cloaks / tabards, so far we have ugly looking packpacks that only suit engineer class but even then, doesn’t go with lots of the assasiny style armor, books? Imo books dont go with anything,
i tried giving the book a chance on the ONE class i thought it may look suitable and in character for – guardian (ok perhaps other casters) it just looks out of place and covers the armor skin (ok, capes tabards etc would too but not as intense plus, they dont have to cover all.

Quivers ARE cool for bow wielding classes, ofcourse a quiver is NOT an option now considering i re-rolled my main to a guardian, i know theirs a “hide” option but we have quivers, which suit bow classes, books for ele’s/mes/necro were just missing capes.

- Its hard to do cloth animation is not an excuse gw2’s engine can do it. and it CAN do it without ANY clipping, weve seen it before on SOME armor, and other objects, it WILL take time to make it work with animations but this is a new gen game, its hard to animate isn’t a viable excuse at all (not since 2001).

New variety of back items that WE the community want (Updated)

Banners
Bandoliers
Capes
Tabard
Scarfs
Sword Sheaths (could have sheaths on the back for 2handers and sheaths on the side for 1 hander, not that these might not work with Every weapon and yes these would still use the back slot )

Backpacks
Cloaks
Banners
Bandoliers

Are just a few things that should be available, instead of just quivers and books. It seems sort of out of place that with so much emphasis on cosmetics we’re limited to these two options.

TL;DR VERSION IS IN THE BOLD

agreed, also bring not only regular capes but guild tabards also, and people saying we already have guild armor, SOME PEOPLE DONT LIKE GUILD ARMOR!

It would be way better instead of not fealing supportive to your guild because you have a badd kitten skin that you want to show off but your also getting flack from your guildies for not repping, also guild weapon skins are so small you cant even notice them

These are what we the community want to choose from for the back slot

• EACH OF THRESE WISHLIST EDITIONS SHOULD COME WITH A GUILD VARIENT ALSO***

From what I understand cloaks weren’t put in because of clipping or something?
I’d say then go for mantles. They served mostly the same purpose and are shorter. And then imagine some berzerking Norn running around in a bearskin mantle.

Not a big fan of capes. I replaced every cape with a backpack or cloak in LOTRO because i don’t my character to look like a comic book super hero in this setting it just doesn’t fit.

I would love hooded cloaks both with the hood up and down, I owuld like backpacks of multiple types for multiple purposes (there was a cook backpack and a cartographers backpack with rolled up scrolls quill and ink and books wrapped in leather in LOTRO) those are just two of the kool things that come to mind.

Also one could make an alchemists backpack with some empty and some full potion vials, a bag or two of special ingredients.

And a bag filled with treasure items like the top could be a tiny bit open to see some gold in there with some chaless hanging on the side and a crown and a jeweled dagger hilt sticking out the top. the sack could be Burlap.

Guild variants abound and non guild variants preferred. Could we make these items and guild backpacks in the future all obtainable with karma please?

Before they add any new skins, they should focus on adding all the stats on ascended accessories.
There’s still no healing power ascended item, for example.

Capes fit just fine in fantasy settings – see below. They didn’t look out of place in GW1 (the fact that some were ugly is not the same as out of place) and there’s no reason they’d be out of place here.

As far as I can tell, they were planned to be implemented but removed at some point in beta. I’ve never seen an official ANet post confirming this, but the reason everyone cites for their removal was “clipping issues.”

We’re a long way from beta now, and the choices for guild representation remain very limited. Guild armor makes everyone in your guild look like clones, and guild weapons and shields limit you to a single appearance which, especially in the case of the guild shield, often seriously clash with a character’s armor. Capes can be far more versatile, and while they wouldn’t fit with every armor style – especially female medium and light armor which seems to have been borrowed from the nearest strip club – capes at least offer a lot more versatility than the current options.

Be careful about saying “we the community” — I am happy to speak for myself.

Also, there are several new varieties of back items already in the game and I suspect several more along the way.

That said, I would be happy to see as many varieties of back items in the game as there are types for other items (e.g. 5x cultural, 3x order, …).

No ascended back item with +healing, Not sure about rings as I have no luck with them. I know there is a spread stat one, but I want a heavy +Healing ring base too.
