I’ve been through a majority of areas in GW2. And I gotta say, GW2 environment graphics use too much brown.
Dirt is brown. Wood is brown. Stones are tinted brown. Metals are rusted and brown. Structures are brown. Vehicles are brown. Almost the same everywhere we go.
One fine example of this is Lion’s Arch. The color used there are very bland and depressing.
Can’t the GW2 environment artists design areas with more inspired use of color?
I hope in the future, we can expect more vibrant environments to look at. Maybe GW2 artists can gain some inspiration from checking out the environments in the fantasy game Trine 2.
