Guild Wars 2

As im playing human male thief, even a simplest shirt that doesnt fall below waist would be the best thing ever created in the game and absolute first choice. Or they could release hoodie (from town clothes) as combat armor :P

With the amount of people playing medium armor classes I feel I’m not seeing enough booty.

put some Flame into this necro Vabbian armor set from Guild Wars 1…it will look epic

I’ll take anything with fewer trenchcoats and buttcapes.

Also if they were gender-balanced, that would be sweet.

Needs to be quoted for emphasis.

I don’t think they are running low on idea, I think they are running low on time because they have bitten off more than they can chew after promising new content on bi-weekly basis. If they can admit their mistake and slow down on the quantity of updates,i think we can start to see improvement in the quality instead.

Feel lucky each day you aren’t waking up to “Well, we might have set the bar too high. But because we want to do more things and we have technical limitations, we are going to make GW3, we will give you news when it’s ready”.

hehe,i don’t mind actually. Since revamping this game will cause alot of uproar just like the skins,might as well make a new game and make it right from the start.

There’s nothing wrong with bi-weekly updates it’s how they’re doing them. If they did one update that is only content/pve and then two weeks later did a pvp/balance update then it’d give each team more time.

Only if they give me what was promised 6 years ago when they announced GW2: GW with an OPEN WORLD. I hate the skills being tied to weapons and the armor being race oriented and not Profession oriented. But the biggest thing missing from GW2 is the Battle Ilses,Hall of Heroes and GvG(this is GUILD WARS after all).

<3 Korean designs…well, minus some of the street walker outfits.

They’re just so intricate.

Anet should look at L2 also for inspirations.

Also, it’s important to note that there are separate teams for separate projects in MMO’s and not everything is tied together hand in hand. The art department team that designs armor skins probably isn’t on the same deadline/schedule that the content developers are for the bi-weekly updates, etc.

I wish some of the art Devs would post in some of the armor topics so we could talk to them. =/

They do good work, I’d just like some feedback on whether or not it is possible that they might take some of these ideas into consideration.

I think just by providing us with more dyeable areas on existing armour would allow us to be more creative with our looks.

I agree! Kristen Perry does sometimes post here and there on topics such as these so perhaps she or any other developers may join in our conversation as all are of course welcome to do so.

Before that, they absolutely need to fire and erase from the face of earth the dude who made GW2 armors..

Syrpharon.7491:

I demand that some of the new armors should be created separately and specifically for each race. Like adding new choices to the skins for cultural armors.
I always wanted to create a big and strong Alpha male looking Charr, but with the current armors is very limited if not impossible. Also the armors are thought to be for everyone, and this makes each culture disappear.

And to think that they were in the concept art, complete with tattoos…

This is a good demand. The reason the Flamekissed armor I have is so valuable to me is that Sylvari have fantastic skin colors, hair styles and colors, glows, eye colors and the armor puts that on full display and complements it. Sadly, someone decided that the sylvari cultural armors should cover as much of their great attributes as possible. A cultural armor for Sylvari designed to emphasize and complement their attributes rather than cover up and replace them would be really welcome.

The one in the picture was designed by Kekai Kotaki, I believe it makes a good example.

We also need more tight medium armor since we already have heaps of coats, like catsuits ala G.I. Joe’s Baroness.

How many times must we ask for them?

Wow – can’t believe it’s been 2 pages and no heavy armor suggested – so much light and medium

Lest we forget…

Asuras outfits that I would love to see!

1. Female light armor pants
2. Medium armor no trenchcoat

1. More skimpy male armors and more “frilly” male armors – why should only the women get to go around half dressed and in feathers? But seriously – I want to show off my male sylvari’s glow and skin patterns and more “guycandy” options would be nice. Also – revealing sets on a female toon that are also revealing on a male (Pit Fighter is a great example of how that’s done).

2. Mage type robes for light female classes, with pants underneath please. I’d love to see a set of beautifully decorated robes (maybe with runes on the fabric and flowing sleeves) minus the revealing bit. Male light armor classes, female charr and female asura get these, why can’t humans, sylvari and norn have them too?

3. A nice looking heavy female closed helmet like the male Phalanx had.

4. Leather armor and “swashbuckling” type armors for medium that do not fall into the “Oh look, a trenchcoat” category. Rangers and Engi’s would likely wear some thicker protection anyhow.

5. More dye-able channels on armor – think of the money to be made on dye packs!

6. Pants for female toons. Please stop with the mini skirts and the poofy skirts on everything, our thighs are not made of steel.

7. Heavy armor for females minus “boob windows”, “hip windows” or any windows unless both male and female armors feature them.

8. Sylvari type plant armor made to be revealing to showcase glow and skin patterns.

I’d like to see some decent female heavy full armored sets like these 2. Well the 2nd armor set isn’t completely full armored but it looks good.

Faowri.4159:

I think Heavy armors actually need more buttcapes, not less.

At this point, I feel like I’m starting to sound like a broken record, but just add some medium armor that in no way even slightly resembles anything close to trenchcoat. I already made a post about it a while back:

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Can-ranger-get-away-from-drench-coats/first#post3173897

Would look good on a human and norn, but not to sure about asura and char.

as i said in this thread
inspiration enough; hire the guy who made this armors!!

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/suggestions/hero-armor/first#post3273667

I would also like to see some light armor skins that didn’t look like crap on Charr. My main is a Charr Mesmer, and his armor is so hard to make look good. The Arah Top is the only top that looks good on Charr for light armor. Every other skin in the game sucks on Charr for light top. I mean the Light armor t3 looks horrible. Please redo Charr T3 Light armor and make it good. Heres a idea of what looks good, 1. No tiaras seriously why would my toon want a blue star on my head that nobody will see? My toon is not a contestant of for a miss America padgent. Give me a cool hood that is half way down and sticks out like the town clothes vest hood but just the hood part as non town town clothes armor. 2. I don’t want light armor that looks like scaly medium amror with a skirt. 3. No more skirts. No half skirts, no skirts no dresses no bathrobes. I want pants or long shorts that don’t look like bondage clothes or have strange pockets like AC light pants. Seriously regular pants, cargo pants, Cloth Jeans or something that looks like I would wear it. 4. Nothing “Sexy”. I want serious looking clothes not something to wack it to. 5. And lastly I want hats that don’t turn my toon bald when equiped. Seriously look at the light Aetherblade helm and tell me it looks good on a Charr. I dare you. It makes my Charr bald. All his hair that I picked out, his black mane… suddenly gone when wearing this helm. Seriously do some better layering.

tldr: pants, no crowns, better shirts, fix your layering, no more bald charr

I completely agree with you that charr could use some much better options when it comes to light armor, but as far as the cultural goes I guess it’s an example of different strokes for different folks, personally I don’t like the design of T1 and T2 charr light, but T3 is one of the few light armors that I think look great on a Charr.

So here’s an idea that I’ve been walking around with for some time now:

ArenaNet should start an armor design contest. The community here is very creative and I believe that there would be great results if we let these creative people design armor.

My main character is a Male Asura Ranger, I have yet to find a single top or head piece I like for my character (currently wearing CoE chest as it doesn’t make me want to scrape my brains out with a ice cream scooper but is still awful / hiding head)

Medium Chest Pieces are all trench coats of different themes, one or two of them look okay if you are playing a Thief or Engi but nothing that screams Ranger.

Medium Head Pieces are all Fugly mouth guards, Novelty Pimp hats, Novelty Pimp hats with Fugly mouth guards or Fugly Ninja hoods.

As for what I want : More Variate!!!!

This is the armor i want….

Common Anet make it happen xD

Fairy armor with butterfly wings and a flower crown.

Also, a suggestion for a focus skin (sorry I realize this is an armor thread) would be a plush handbag with a picture of a cat (like a hello kitty handbag). I think that would be pretty cute.

You want a bear backpack?..

I couldn’t think of any other pictures, and this one isn’t really that great, but the main idea is… we need more heavy, full armor in this knight-ish look, especially for females.

Not everyone wants to look like a kitten thug or barbarian while playing a Guardian or Warrior, and although the Draconic Set is awesome, it’s been a while since I last changed it…

What it must have (imo):
- Armor covering nearly the entire body. If you want to show skin, show as little as possible and in areas that make sense.
- Skirt. Being a robot is nice and cool but I think there’s already 3 or more sets that we get to dress Gundam. Tights might look sexy on females but please, avoid it. Draconic Leggings and some variation (like the attached pic) is what looks cool in a knight-ish set.
- Imposing Shoulders/Chest. This is where the Draconic Set fails, but luckily there’s plenty of great shoulders that fit nicely with it.

This plus a great shield… would look awesome on Guardians.
Next we’d only need a nice, non-rusted longsword (and not knife-length) such as the Ghastly Sword (best one handed sword skin in the game!) without all those fancy and weird concepts.

Sometimes, simple is the best.

At least take the musical instrument mechanics and make a guitar.

I have a similar gripe about the norn cultural light armor (and light armor on female norn in general). They have some beautiful tattoos, and the light cultural armors all cover basically 100% of most of the tattoos, which is just silly. It’s like hanging heavy drapes over a stained glass window.

I can understand going for a more conservative look for the game in general, but the norn cultural armor should really be showing off the only physically unique thing about the race (aside from being 8 feet tall), not hiding it. And if you look at some of the skins for other armor types, or the t3 light human cultural armor, the “going for more conservative” argument kind of loses something.
