Guild Wars 2

Medium armor as it stands is horrible. Its got by far the most boring sets in the game. The vast majority of leather armor is a leather trench coat like design, or a chest piece with some sort of tail skirt thing that has no real point to it. The human t1 is a great example of crap armor nobody is going to wear.

It doesn’t even look like armor.

Medium armor appears to be mostly leather but that’s fine and i am not asking for it to be realistic either. What i would like is more variation and nicer styles, some very basic designs aren’t even in the game like a plain leather cuirass (like a roman would wear).

All of the leveling sets look like civilian clothes pretty much and nothing like armor at all. They would be better fitted to light armor than medium. You call that armor…looks like a commoner.

Whats the deal with the half dresses sticking out the back? need something to trip on or something? It makes no sense and it just makes the some armors look odd..

How about a non mask helmet? Shock horror! Perhaps a full helm? and lets not do one that cuts characters hair off eh? Really variation should be stupidly easy for you at this point as its not like you can’t take idea’s from real life old armours.

It doesn’t have to be realistic but more variation is needed badly.

I have over 10 unique armor sets for my ranger. GW2 needs more armor, sure, but in this game you have to play to look good. I think you need dungeon armor.

I think you would like Caudecus manor exotics. Check out the dungeon vendors to see what you like.
