+1.
It’s not such a big issue for the other races because cloth, leather and metal look fine on them and lore-wise make a lot of sense. We’ve seen Norn, Charr and Asura in GW1 wearing similar clothes to humans.

Sylvari on the other hand are (usually green) plant people. Typical armour and clothing can look a bit silly on them and it would be great to have more options than the 3 Cultural armours and the Twilight Arbour armour. Also the Twilight Arbour armour just looks a bit ridiculous on Male Sylvari, especially the headpiece. So more please!

I’d love some heavy wood / bark type armour as heavy armour for sylvari. It could be really rough looking in parts and polished wood on others, with thick vines or moss sort of filling in the gaps between parts. The helm could have some cool antler looking branches.
Nothing light or weightless looking about it, it should look thick and heavy, and old. IMO!

I would love to see them resolve the clipping/stretching issues on the current armor before they make new ones.

TA Heavy (male): Wielding a staff clips through the skirt.

T2 Heavy (male): Wielding a greatsword stretches the pants horribly.

T1 Heavy (male): The skirt clips through the left leg when wielding a staff.

Come to think of it, seemingly all the clipping issues revolve around the staff pose. Hmmmm…

I can’t seem to roll anything other than a sylvari and it’s really disappointing that there are so few armor options- especially since they’re supposed to be able to grow their own clothing/armor. It’s also very hard to mix pieces from existing sylvari sets. At least for light armor.
A better town clothes option for male sylvari would also be a welcome change. Dem veiny legs are kinda creepy.

I don’t really like the idea of adding more cultural armors for Sylvari unless its an across-the-board addition for all races getting more. Would be favoring one race over the others too much. Of course, more cultural armors for all races would be welcome (as long as they don’t increase the price beyond T3 >.>) so I’m not really opposed to the idea in general, just opposed to it as far as Sylvari only.

I also don’t really agree with the idea that Sylvari HAVE to wear plant armors. While the vast majority of random NPCs do (town clothes usually) there are a number of sylvari in the game that wear standard armor as well, and amongst named Sylvari NPCs its probably closer to 50 / 50 between those that wear normal gear and plant stuff. Just because they can grow their own armor / clothes doesn’t mean they all would do so and never use anything else.

Yeah I meant armour similar to the Sylvari cultural armours, but available for all races. Human-looking clothes are available for everyone and in large quantities, why shouldn’t Sylvari clothes be also?

And we were more saying that Sylvari look odd in a lot of regular clothes.
