Guild Wars 2

I created a post in the Asuran section, but perhaps I should have created a suggestion here.
I LOVE the “light armor” cultural armor for Asurans. All three tiers are great. I HATE the heavy armor versions. They do not appeal to me at all, and I tried really hard to find a look I could “deal with”. Can we get restrictions lifted on cultural armor, so a person can mix and match without having to pick only heavy/medium/light?

People buying these sets are doing it so they can use transmutation stones the appearance with other gear/stats anyway, so I’m not sure why there are restrictions.

It seems a little unfair that light armor wearers get the OP Savant (Tier 3) clothing. It looks the best, and is worn by a main Asuran character (Zojja). No fair!

Agree so much! I’m in love with some of the light Norn armour =(

But…it’s light, medium and heavy. A guardian warrior would wear a chest plate, where as a mesmer would wear a great coat.

It’s not rocket science. I understand your personal taste but for a dozen established fantasy reasons it just doesn’t work.

It’s not rocket science that strong warrior would preffer light or medium armour that doesn’t cripple his moves to be more swift and agile in combat. I could understand that Thief wouldn’t run arround with plate armour but I don’t see any issue with Warrior runing naked if this is how it suits his combat style better. Same goes with battlemage in heavy armour.

I understand there is needed something to quickly distinguish whether enemy is warrior/guardian, engineer/thief/ranger or elementalist/necromancer/mesmer but subtle icons above characters work way better. I don’t understand what would be diffrence because in the end everyone have same chances anyway. It doesn’t impact gameplay at all. It’s cosmetics that would greatly improve wariety of look between players because of more mixing possibilities (let’s face it there are only few armours in this game that appeal to playerbase and half of armours are just ugly)

Well, the tier 3 asuran light armor is that of Zojja because, well, she’s a mage
Same as the Tier 3 Sylvari armor being that of Caithe, who is a thief, and I’m pretty sure Logan wears the tier 3 human heavy armor, etc. …

By the way: Can you do something about our hair disappearing when wearing headpieces? I wouldn’t want to wear tier 3 asuran light armor because it would literally turn me into a little Zojja clone :/

Also – yes, there are some medium armor pieces that I absolutely adore but can’t wear on my necromancer. Maybe allow some fiddling with the transmutation stones?

I have the same problem, Ever since I saw the concept art for Zojja, I said, “THAT IS MY ENGINEER’S ARMOR!!!!” and then the game comes out and I find that not only is it not available for mediums, it also costs 119g! I feel double gypped because, of all the armors, Savant looks the most “Asura” of any of the armors in the game.

Should just let the transmutation stones work over light/medium/and heavy. That way you get the look without the actual advantages or disadvantages. WOuld prolly be quite an easy thing to change as well.

I personally would love to wear the Koda dungeon armor on my ranger. Sorry for double post.
