Guild Wars 2

Since almost most MMORPG on the market have some sexy outfits and armors for female characters, why this very nice game dont have ?

I would be more enjoyable to have some sexy outfits and armors for female character.

Some piercings (belly, tongue, …) also maybe a tatoo npc to put some lower back tatoo… anything to make the game more enjoyable…

A place where people can meet and just chill together would be kinda nice too when your tired of xping and questing… no ?

There are plenty of “sexy” outfits and places to gather already. I’m not against ANet adding more of the former, that’s their prerogative, but your suggestion implies that we don’t have any, and that isn’t true.

Sure, but as a female player I also expect to have the sexy male counterparts.

Well im only lvl 25, maybe I didn’t find thoses places yet, but… yes they have a bit of sexyness…. but nothing compared to most MMORPG on the market … even free-to-play have better armor design.

As for the comment for sexyer male… I agree too. If female player want some sexy male outfit… why dont bring it ?

You’ll probably be better off playing those games for that purpose, then. I very much doubt ANet has any intention of adding chainmail bikinis.

With that said, though, armour boils down to personal taste. You may not care much for ANet’s armour design, but I love it and think it’s some of the best I’ve seen, so to each their own.

I think Anet did a good job on this front really, the armor ranges from fully covering to skimpy for both genders. Though more is always nice of course.

light armor have many revealing outfits.
Heavy have like 2 or 3
and medium have trench coats

I am playing some of thoses games. Sexy outfits is not the first thing I look when I search for a game. I rather love nice content, and good pvp. But this section of forum is for suggestion, so I am in my right to say that I find whats is a big lack in this game right ?

If you like the actual armor design and town cloth, I am happy for you. Then adding some more armor/town cloth content, might just be better for everyone. If you dont like chainmail bikini, just dont use, but personally, I love it and would like to see it ingame. Thats a matter of opinion.

NCSoft developped Aion, and in this game, female character have so many nice outfits, so why not in this game ?

ANet developed GW2. NCSoft simply published it. This is the source of the difference between Aion and GW2.

Armor serves a purpose and as far as im concerned ANet did very well on the Armor front . Even the revealing heavy stuff looks like something a Gladiator would wear . I wouldn’t mind some more as long it was kept on the realistic side

i really hope this doesnt go to the realm of asuran mankini’s and bikini’s its an unsettling thought.

From what I’ve seen, those kind of armor are more often disliked than liked. Well, at least the former group is more vocal.

Personally, I prefer that the armor maintain some form of realism. Having played only a warrior, I can say that I’ve liked most of the heavy armors. They started out as mostly ringmail, then adding a bit of plate. The Barbaric set (level 80 masterwork) is also pretty cool since it’s a torn apart set of armor. And it’s well done, as the “torn” bit is ringmail, which would be much easier to break than plate.

One of the things that to someone who hasn’t played GW1 that makes GW2 stand out is in the art. Most of the armor and weaponry feels authentic, not something that they decided to throw in just because it looks cool. Of course, there are exceptions to that as well.

And really, this game doesn’t need to advertise itself with fanservice.

I will say this.. I love all the armors the game already has, and there are some scantily clad ones. My Guardian looks hot in his Pit Fighter gear with hidden shoulders and head piece But, there is one thing missing… the scar and tatoo armor from GW1. Admittedly, they were only for Necromancers and Monks, respectively, but they did exist.

I havent seen the pitfighter on guys but on women it looks like the female version of what a Mermillo would wear which is pretty cool i might add.

There are already plenty of revealing outfits. I don’t think we need g-string thongs or any further oversexualization on a game rated T/Pegi 12.

If you want porno, watch a porno.

It’s a game and young people are playing. We don’t need women dressed up as prostitutes in-game. It’s not good for the kids to take in, and it’s kind of demented that it’s normal to have women dressed nearly naked in video games. Just because most players are male, doesn’t mean the game has to pander to their horniness.

Also, it is ridiculously unimmersive for all that skin showing to have the same defense as a fully covered plate. If they did make these half-naked designs, they should get hefty penalties on stats.

@clark
i think OP mean there should be more feminine armor with tiny skirts and bikini appearance. there was armor sets like this in gw1. just because you see a bit of boobs doesn’t mean the game need to have a 18+ age limit.

I see many in the game who I think look attractive
That’s a sure sign a game has good graphics/design

Fortunately, balance and mechanics will always trump immersion.

Oh well…. it can be town clothe then ?

Dont you think that if the exact same game is laungh in 2 week (for exemple) but have more sexy design, people will go there ? I think yes, just because there is one more feature.

As for the kids argument…. I dont mean naked player like in AoC. Just a bit more. Kids already see alot more thing on TV and other games, so what can it change for them ?

Sure, put in sexy outfits for both men and women, but give them low stats and make them untransposeable – maybe just town outfits.

I’m fine with that.

But if players who perve over girls in bikinis start complaining about seeing men in leather codpieces, they can go super-cute-kitten themselves, the kittens. Kitten kitten. Kitten.

Exactlly. People who dont like just have to walk over…

I agree we need sexy clothing for town and combat.

I like Linage 2 style clothing.

I don’t know who “We” is, but it’s not me. I want oversexualization in my games!

.. or male. I want my alt as revealing and sexy as possible, to MESMERize the enemies ^^ The armor I could find so far is rather boring, and no male dungeon or cultural armor is revealing enough. Why can’t we have Age of Conan barbarian style sets? ;/

Dear god yes, +1 to OP. Medium armor is all the same thing and its annoying as hell that I can’t play a medium armor class and look good. A lot of the light armors don’t cut it either. They either look ridiculously cumbersome for ‘light’ armor, or they’re too… (Masquerade and Feathered chest, I’m looking at you).

Also, its amusing that people are in this thread blatantly saying “No, I’m happy with the armors so I don’t want ANet to add any to make you happy as well.” Wow… lol.

Well on the hand of bad looking armor sets: yes medium armour really sucks, only the masker/head thing is kinda diffirent.

But what is the purpose of revealing armor? You play games for it’s gameplay. Also the suggestion of being tired of exploring and chill out in the game? Taking an in-game brake?!
I think your a bit too much into this game…

Well, I think it’s more a desire to socialize with in-game friends in downtime. However, the game already has a plethora of these, be it in Home Instances, any city with its nooks and crannies, or the world at large. More aren’t necessary, people just need to explore and find the ones that already exist.

While I will agree that there should be more flattering armor in the game, I will admit that there should be some limitations. I play an Asura, and there is nothing feminine about any of the armor that I have seen on female Asurans, but I have passed it off as game design. I will say, however, that I do not want to see half-naked, or nearly naked, characters running all over hell and creation; you can look ‘sexy’ without needing to look like a stripper.

Personally I would like more “cool” armour sets which are deliberately not “sexy”.

So far there are a few, but where are the trousers for caster females? One pair of harem-style trousers with cut-outs?

I’m all for more armour, of a mixture of styles, but at the moment I still would like to see greater parity between male and female armour sets.

Maybe it is because you dont know

But this game got tons , TONS of same naked armors , heavy/medium/light , take you pick.

’’Maybe it is because you dont know

And at what level we get them ? Im 25 Mesmer atm

The game has tons of ‘sexy’ armor skins, both for male and female characters.

ncsoft didnt simply publish this,they added their rng crap to the game as well

the only “sexy” armor i like was the female human town clothes.too bad i cant skin that onto my armor and make that my default look when fighting

More revealing armor would not make sense at all. Light armor already doesn’t make sense, having it be more revealing is just stupid. Town Clothing are there for a reason. They’re for you to switch to a more “relaxed” outfit. If you really feel the need that you need to be more revealing, take off a piece of armor. The Female characters in the game, if anything, need less skin-showing and more viable armor-ware.

But seriously, if you want a sexy outfit to chill with your friends, just take your armor off or better yet, play a different game aimed for adult players.

why does armor need to make sense when battle mechanics itself dont make sense.why the hell would you run slower when you are getting attacked

Are you serious??

“why the hell would you run slower when you are getting attacked”

would you not run slower if I clubbed you in the head?

that would only matter if every single enemy clubs you on the head

What really matters is the fact that ANet thought the mechanic was necessary for balance reasons, obviously. It doesn’t matter how much sense it does or does not make given that.

i really hope this doesnt go to the realm of asuran mankini’s and bikini’s its an unsettling thought.

Hey if my male Asura wants to fight dragons in a speedo that’s my choice!

urtv.8791:

That really isn’t my point. If anything hits you, you’ll be moving slowly. If you get hit with a flame blast, you’ll start running slower. If you get hit with an arrow, even more so.

In most cases.

Personally, I’d start running even faster, and possibly crying.

Do you have any logic at all?

logic?what logic makes you run slower even if you dont get hit then?what logic allows enemies to run at the same speed in and out of battle.just because you get hit doesnt mean you will run slower.if someone hits your pinky does that mean you will crawl away to safety

Absolutely! And that what I pointed out.

I dont understand why some people complaining about my request really. If they dont want more sexy outfits/armors/piercing/…. they just have to not use them.

Adding those tho can only have positive points:

1) Bring more players to the game = more money to the company
2) More contents
3) More personalisation, to compensate some lack in character costumization

And one good argument is that its very easy to implement, just make new skins for town clothes… maybe add a clothe merchant in some city where you can buy it with ingame money. Thoses clothes can reflect the city mentality of it.

If you go to bronx, New-York and in california people dont wear the exact same thing. This can easilly be reflected in this game by adding such vendors npc.

Ex.: If the town is near a beach, vendor may sell men and female bikini, but if the town is in desert, vendor can sell Maroc like clothe style…

No, just no. Exploitin’ women to bring in more players isn’ the way I wanna see Anet go an’ I don’ think that’s the kinda company they wanna be. There are already enough skimpy outfits in game, what we need are more attractive, non skimpy outfits … there are some, but we could always use more.

Most of the time you’re getting hit with ranged attacks. Those are mostly of magical nature, so you can’t exactly argue either side on those.

With physical attacks though, yes, you will run slower. Ever play soccer and get accidentally kicked in the shin? Ever play baseball and have the ball hit your bicep? Ever play floorball and have the ball his you on the back of your hand? Ever prick yourself with a splinter of wood? Cut yourself with a piece of paper? Cut yourself with a knife? It does slow you down. That’s how pain works.

And beyond that, there’s the balance argument: if enemies ran slower when you attacked them, that would make cripple moves less effective and thus less desirable. And if the player did not get slowed, you could just breeze through all zones with or without Swiftness buffs without risk of dying. And that’s just silly.

The game doesn’t need to turn into a second Tera to sell more copies to teenage boys. Instead they can sell more copies to women, since the women can play an mmo where they don’t have to dress like a prostitute. Also a lot of families play mmo’s together nowadays.

As for those asking for more stripper armour, I really don’t understand how you people find graphics so attractive. It’s kinda weird tbh.

More attractive and bad-kitten looking sets would be good though, especially for medium armour. It’s perfectly possible to have an awesome looking character without promoting an attitude that’s degrading and disrespectful to women.

There are lot’s of sexy armours You can see pictures of almost all of them here

Not to mention the masquerade armour that my Lv 38 mesmer is wearing:

The problem with skimpy female armor, is that it usually degrades female characters to sex objects. People are so touchy about the problem because in other MMO’s, the female characters have ONLY skimpy armor, and the male characters have ONLY realistic, covering armor.

Guild Wars 2 doesn’t have this problem, it gives players the choice to have females wear realistic, covering armor—or skimpy armor. It has taken some huge steps in ending sexism in games. Many people are happy with this, and are worried about going back to how things were.

Even though your want for more skimpy choices isn’t a bad thing, it worries people who are afraid of losing GW2’s gender-equality. That’s why this thread has gotten some of the negative response that it has.

Personally, I like armor the way it is now. But I think they should add lots of variety to town clothes—including skimpy options.
