Guild Wars 2

I’m not quite sure how it works with Christmas, since I’m Muslim, but see, when Eid (holiday) comes around, each person dresses in their best clothing that they have. We put on henna. We get ready. When Eid day arrives, in the morning, you see Muslims of various cultures sporting beautiful traditional cultural clothes.

The suggestion I wanted to make was having each race have a cultural version of clothing they would wear on Wintersday. Their best clothes. Looking nice on such a wonderful occasion.

Maybe the sylvari have grown poinsettia leaves or white leaves with light golden glow on them?

Blue and robes for Asura. Maybe a floating hologram snowflake on their hats. Glowing lights?

Elegant robes of similar colors for humans. Soft fluff on the ends. Maybe a white rose in the woman’s hair, and a similar white rose on the front pocket for the men. A golden cane?

Frosty dragon helm for the charr? Armor etched with frosty designs. A crystal snowflake to decorate their tails with?

White reindeer fur cloaks for the Norn? Another frosty dragon helm or reindeer horns.

I don’t know. It’d be nice to see though.

Wow, your ideas sound really beautiful.

That all sounds beautiful. I wonder if they have time to implement anything of the sort in the next couple of weeks?

In the world who celebrates it, a lot of people either don’t dress up special (PJ’s ftw), or they find the most tacky sweaters, hats and socks on the face of the earth and wear them around. (Some dress up for a special Mass, church clothes, Christ + Mass = Christmas, and is still practiced)

Beyond history and etymology, I like the idea of cultural town clothes, but suggest at the point of adding that, they need an account-wide town clothes locker (like the pvp ones) cause storing all that stuff would be as dreadful as all the real life ugly wool sweaters (tacky), hats and socks (from last Wintersday, stuff is no joke).

Well I think you’re generalizing it a little bit. In Pakistan for example, during Christmas, I hear, the folks wear their best traditional clothing (perhaps they’re influenced by the majority of Muslims that live there who do that for their own holidays).

I think even the tackiness (those ugly clothes you’re talking about) are partly tradition, you know?

My point is tradition. I bet that each race has certain traditions it has created for the holidays – and this can apply to clothing as well.

I quoted regularly on posts armor. it would be really beautiful!

I hope the developers will hear you. they do not respond to posts dreamers like us = ’)

Well, given how much other things they have to fix or implement, I would expect appearance to not be so high on the list?
