Guild Wars 2

It is a common occurrence when leveling 1-79 to be wearing armor that looks the same while leveling to 80. This didn’t effect me that badly because I rushed to 80 shortly after headstart, but as I level my alt at a slower pace, I notice it more and more.

This is also a major issue with people who are more casual as I have seen numerous threads and posts on other forums bringing this up. I think an expanded dropped loot table would go a long way into solving this grievance for people.

Honestly, it was something I noticed that lacked in Guild Wars 1 when I was trying to get my Hall of Monuments, and it is kind of disappointing to see this design flaw to creep its way into Guild Wars 2.

I agree. I dont get why 99% of the leveling process has such a tiny bit variety in your character look. Either its on purpose so that 80 seems so awesome, or just lazy dev design.

I remember playing EQ2….not counting stats, but just looks, you always looked forward to the next new look which was usually every 10 levels and sometimes even between. But it made it exciting, something to look forward too.

Here….its very bland, very boring honestly. For how much GW2 pushes “looks” instead of “stats”, they have really failed hard on the 1-79 armor look progress.

Hopefully they realize this and do something to make the leveling experience richer.

I honestly have no idea what you’re talking about, my character changed her looks every 10-15 levels. Maybe you’re not doing your story missions, dungeons or crafting? Or heck, just look on the TP, quite a few different item looks there (which you sadly can’t preview atm).
