Guild Wars 2

Is there a way ANet might redo them? I mean T2 is only worth mentioning, others look like a piece of an eyebrow or something. Can’t we get better looking ones?

EDIT: Was referring to Light Armor.

T3 heavy is the best Don’t touch my T3 head! >(

t3 light is just terrible… I get an eyebrow as a headgear

I was mainly thinking about Light armor

You should define if you mean light, medium or heavy. They are very much not the same. Although I like my branches/hair better I find the medium ones nice. Also this might be heavily influenced by taste, and some might actually like what you don’t and vice versa.

Yes, it’s definitly influenced by taste. I have the th3 light male headgear (the eyebrow thing) and I love it! It’s so stylish

But the best headgear is still t3 heavy, it’s just awesome!

T3 male light helms are pretty frustrating.

I dunno I just think that eyebrow is not worth 20G, I’d be fine with it as a cheap variant, but for 20G it should be something better.

Honestly, I don’t much like any of the light male cultural armors. The female versions are all sleek and elegant looking, like they’re made of flower petals or some kind of succulent, but the male stuff is all jagged and harsh looking for no reason. That’s why I decided to get the TA set instead. Speaking of the TA set, is anyone else annoyed that other races can dye the whole thing however they like?

I must admit TA armor is a punch down for true Sylvari because everyone can be leafy now, and even look better then Sylvari specific armor :‘(
I found T3 to be ok, not great looking like some Asura T3 or Human T3 but ok… Even though it’s sad that T3=TA in same graphic quality. Only T3 armor I love is Medium. I wish I could use it on my Elementalist.

I really have a hard time dyeing my T3 Light Sylvari male armor because I can never get it right. I dunno what’s wrong there. I do good while dyeing every other character (and I have 8 characters) but my main somehow has to settle with Black/White combo with T3.
Even my female Sylvari with TA armor can be mixed with so many dye combos and she looks good in all of them, but not with T3

agreed, i hate all the cultural LA headpieces, and the TA one is… ‘meh’, would love to see a leafy hood for t3 cultural

Imo, sylvari armor in general is very hard to dye, but once you get it to look just right, it looks awesome! My sylvari guardian is wearing T2 heavy and I might get the T3 helmet at some point. Dyes are Grass, Tang, and Swamp Grass. Grass for the green parts, tang for details as to match his skintone, and swamp grass for the darker brown parts.

Yeah I just checked TA Light again, it’s as terrible as other Syvlari Light armor…
I was also thinking about some leafy hoods something like the Syvlari Cook’s town-clothing headgear. Even taken from other Sylvari professions

I don’t like the Medium T3 hood. It just has an odd shape. .-.

I’ll be using my starter headband forever probably. Too bad I can’t have a leafy headband.

Funny… I love the light sylvari armor options. I actually love all the sylvari armor.
They should not change something that is purely about taste.

Main reason I want TA armor on my sylvari ranger is infact that the headpiece is just that small thing on the face. I love that. Don’t want to cover my branches afterall so never get to show headgear otherwise, which is kind of a shame.

I’ve tried all of the cultural light armor, and I end up just leaving my headgear turned off.

t1- Floats around when my head moves; it makes it look like I slapped on something that’s a size too big.

t2- I like it, but I use the ‘long’ hair style, (the really popular one with the three lighter colored leaves :P) and the clipping bothers me. I’m sure it’s fine for shorter styles.

t3- Reminds me of Seven of Nine, and I don’t feel like a Borg-inspired look fits my mesmer. Honestly, though, I’m not a fan of a lot of the t3 set. I spent a lot of time getting the shading on my Sylvari’s ‘skin’ just right, and I don’t feel like covering up all that awesome.

I tried the helm from the Feathered set, but that set seems to cast this brass-colored shadow under the raised parts that just does not go with my skintone (barktone?) otherwise that would be perfect.

I think one of the problems is that we, as Sylvari players, like seeing the glowy bits in our hair. They’re a major feature of the character design, and as ArenaNet seem to have a problem displaying a character’s hair and a helmet at the same time, we resent the headpieces because they take away that sense of personalisation we got when creating the character.

This might be true but I hardly ever see a skin glow with full armor. We can’t just run naked and kill animals… they’ll just pee on us.
And the hair glow just doesn’t add it enough to keeping the headgear ON. I must admit that Heavy T3 and Medium T3 are done way better then the Light one which saddens me because I just love my fire-breathing plant and can’t find the right Cultural armor for it.
