Guild Wars 2

I know we do not have a preview of the other Legendary Armors, but I have some concerns for the other weights judging by the medium and light Envoy Armor designs. I do not have any female characters, so this is from a male character perspective. The specifics…

Medium Envoy…

-The hood, on all male races except for Charr, is too big. It makes the character look like a bobble head kid with a big winter parka hood… Think Kenny from South Park. To compare, the Whisper’s Secret Hood is sized better and the under mask makes the entire piece look great.

-The shoulder pieces are too big and do not compliment each other. The dragon face is neat, but the other piece looks like a car tire unfortunately. I would suggest going with 2 equal sized dragon faces that are much smaller.

-The face on the back ruins the use of any back piece… I personally feel that face has to go unless you come up with a major kick butt look and combat transform to it.

-IMO, the Envoy chest, leg and boots look more fitting for low level blue and green gear. Bladed, Whisper, Falconer…. are just a few sets that look far better by comparison.

Light Envoy…

-I personally feel there has to be more for the face and shoulders than just the floaty gems.

-The butt cape looks way too big and out of place. Make it more of a “classy” looking form fitting design.

Final thoughts…

Both the heavy Envoy and Legendary armors look really good, and I like the “battle ready” designs, but the medium and light Envoy armors look extemely unappealing… This makes me worried that the Legendary designs will come out more on the gaudy “fashion show” side as opposed to looking sleek and “cool” in and out of combat.

This post is not designed to be negative. I’m just hoping that these armors, which require a ton of time and work and gold, can be made aestically worthy of the effort to obtain them.

My only request is can we have light human female armour that isn’t either something you find in a brothel/strip club or something that would make the Victorians look like they’re strippers.

I actually liked the dragon on the back of medium armour but the hood and shoulders were lame. Course I think most shoulders and hoods are lame in this game.
