Guild Wars 2

So now that we are seeing many examples of heavy armor and light armor outfits (gear that any profession can wear). Are we going to see accessibility to every skin type (light, medium, heavy) for ever profession?

What I am saying is: what is the point in having a medium skin locked for a heavy armor user if they are just going to release an outfit that is light (i.e. imperial) for heavy armor users to use?

Note the difference: I am not saying heavies can use light and light use heavy armor, but merely the skins.

I think this can open a lot more diversity for players without the need to release more skins. The only reason I can think that they would want to keep the boundaries from heavy to m. to l. would be for visual recognition… but that is disregarded if they release outfits for all.

Any thoughts?

Oh thank gods this isn’t another “anti-zerk” thread. The title made me scared.

The different gear weights have different wiring frames to go with them. Purely a technical issue, and not one I expect to see resolved. The outfits work because they replace the entire frame, not just bits and pieces.

I love the idea of it, being able to where what ever we like would be very cool. With outfits the class recognition from graphic is prety much gone.

The only problem is…. I think the models/skins would take a bit to much work to mix light with heavy etc. Frames for each were never intended to go together so it would be alot of extra work to add this

I think official word was in regards to clipping issues (when mixing types). Outfits don’t have clipping issues (or far less).
