Guild Wars 2

So I’m just wondering lately with another big MMO announced with rather insane player creation features (EQN and the building tools) where is GW2 in terms of letting us create anything?

Honestly, I’d have to say Guild Wars 2 doesn’t really have any features for that. We might have a lot of dyes to pick from for armor but that’s palette swapping. You’re still stuck inside their coloring book lines. You’re not going to make Wonder Woman look like Batman just because you color her blue or whatever.

I’d be interested in some more creative tools in the game. Even if you had to pay like $10 or even $20 for an armor customizing tool that gave you armors with a massive list of morphs and options. Another thing I don’t understand is why there’s no “overlay” texture or pattern type option to customize yourself. The guild armor options are rather unimpressive, and besides I never even liked the idea from GW1 that some guild leader gets to pick your one creative option. Where’s something for the player is basically what I wonder all the time.

As fascinated as I am by GW2’s updates and the team’s hard work, I wonder if I’d be happy jumping ship to that other game (or playing both) if they do customization and diverse builds and all that better. I just like playing games that let me put some kind of personal thought into it, I guess.

I’m pretty sure this isn’t going to happen. Anet is a company of artists and they want the world to look a feel a certain way. So dying armor, which is in limits they establish is okay, but even in character creation, the range of what you can create is relatively narrow.

While I agree it would be cool to see some content made by people (there’s some hints of an upcoming treasure hunt okittends), I doubt very much it will be something that visually affects the look of the game.

Yeah, as neat as it would be to customize our home districts further, I doubt it will happen. I remember reading way back that the character customization tech is borrowed from Aion, but they limited it more so that the characters wouldn’t disrupt the game’s aesthetic.

buddy, you want to hurt their gem sales? keep it closed, so they sub par creation can still sell.
