Yes, make this happen devs! Hire some new people or something, because yours are getting worse by the minute.

Here’s more idea’s for armor skins/outfits

this… medium and also taking charr in consideration, also the weapon as hammer skin

Nice bump, I almost forgot about this thread. Looking through now makes me wish some of these sets were really in the game.

I’d like to see White Mantle armor from GW1 still. There’s quite a lot of designs though in this game I like, I just wish I could get my weapons to match up (it’s difficult to enjoy sword/shield on a knight, for example).

Yeah, I agree. I know I’ve suggested it in the past but I would really like to see a modern iteration of outfits or armor skins based on the gods of the world, as well as weapons. We have the back pieces, after all. Also armor/outfits that match up with each class a little better to help give more signature appearances for people, although the new Carapace armor’s are really good for the most part, and I’m glad the medium armor has finally started to drift away from trench coats. I love the carapace medium armor, I feel like medium armor should share similarities with light in this way because the classes that would use it would not usually be looking to be bogged down by heavy coats and stuff.

as I don’t know how carapace set looks on female character – I can only say on male human it looks too bulky as for medium armor :/

I’d love to see more medium sets that are actually armor based – something more like ascalonian medium set than other weird stuff….

but also some more “adventurers clothes” like duelist skin (iirc – the one from ranger skill trailers)

My suggestion: more male skimpy armor (like more of the pit fighter-like skins from the heavy class, but for light and medium)

Ascalonian medium (for male humans, anyway) is awesome. It’s probably one of my favorite sets, will definitely use it if I ever find a reason to.

I would like PANTS. Not a skirt, not a dress, not pants with a skirt on one side. Regular pants. Heavy pants regular pants, medium pants, light armor pants. I want more pants skins. Give us a meta 2 week content with PANTS as a reward. Sick of this lack of pants.

I’m in favor of more pants too, but I would argue there is very little for decent skirts. Most right now either look like some sort of shredded rags stitched together, and/or have pants underneath. Either make it a skirt or make it pants; not both!

I’ll cast another vote for more GW1 skins being brought in.

Also, I’ll throw it in here as well, as many of us have. Whatever happened to these?

“Hallowed are the Ori”

:)

I’d like to see more medium trench coats.

Well, since so many are extremely angry about the armor skin fiasco with the most recent update where they’ve cheapened and removed the exclusivity of T3 human cultural light armor, one might get the impression that ArenaNet is running low on ideas & creativity or direction for new armor skins to add to the game & gem shop.

I’m creating this thread here for now, because the most people will see it and I want to include as many people as possible in the discussion. The purpose of this thread is to share ideas using art (concept or otherwise), or other pictures to share what you want with the community, and ArenaNet developers alike so that they may potentially draw inspiration from our ideas & also get a good sense of where their player-base stands on the type of looks we want for our characters.

PLEASE keep the discussion civil, and open minded as many of us are bound to have different tastes and opinions so please be respectful

My first contribution is an idea for a mesmer-friendly set using concept art from AION’s bard class.

I am sorry to say this but you accusing Anet of not being creative and I do agree with that to a point, but then you’re posting armor from other games. That has nothing to do with being creative or getting fresh idea’s for upcoming patches. I think that our community can come up with something very nice and stunning that’s not copied and pasted from other games.

The wheel does not have to be reinvented. They are giving example art from other games that visually describes what they are looking for in this game…that’s not a bad thing. I’m sure they are not asking for a copy/paste from the other games…just something along those same themes. I would actually prefer that too….something similar from other games.

I do like some of ANET’s art, but I’m pretty tired of the “butt capes”. Some of their art is very nice, but they keep adding clutter to it…making it look worse than it should. Extra straps and harnesses on some of the more streamlined chest pieces and butt capes on the leggings. Too many trench coats for medium armor. It would even be nice to have an option to turn off or hide more things like you can with helmets.

I’d like to see more gear styles from different cultures as well. Maybe some more asian themed armor sets and styles. Maybe some Celtic themed armor. More armor that shows skin and reveals norn tattoos. The tattoos and size are the main reason’s I chose norn for my characters…it would be nice to actually see more of those tattoos during game play.

Just read my signature.

There should be at least one armor that fits the theme of each of the “spheres” of the eternal alchemy:

• Light – Radiant Armor (AP).
• Life – Luminescent Armor (World).
• Nature – Nightmare armor. Sylvari cultural armor
• Mind – Zodiacal armor.
• Fire – Hellfire armor (AP). Flamekissed (gems).
• Water – None fits this yet.
• Air – None fits this yet.
• Earth – Primeval (gems). None fits this yet for light and medium. I recommend designs based on Necromancer Obsdian armor and RAnger obsidian armor from GW1.
• Ice – None fits this yet.
• Depth/Secrets/Knowledge – None fits this yet.
• Ether – None fits this yet. I recommend “Chaos armor” with shiny foggy effects… but not too blinding.
• Spirit – None fits this yet. I recommend “Mistforged armor” with mist-like effects obtainable from WvW, and “Fractal armor”, obtainable through fractals.
• Darkness – None fits this yet. I recommend “Shade armor”, armor that gives the appearance of nightmares like aatxes.
• Death – Arah armor.

Different combinations of these spheres get you things like the magic of certain professions, the magic of the gods, the magic of the dragons, magic attuned to Static, Dynamic and Synergetic, etc.

CHIPS.6018:

Igniz from KOF have the coolest mage armor I have seen. It flies around because he is so powerful!
[…]

Igniz? Bah! Rugal FTW!

I was thinking that they could make armor skins based on dragon champions, kinda like the Shadow of the Dragon armor skins but with the Shatterer, Claw, and Tequatl (maybe the Great Destroyer too). Also the skins would look different depending on your armor type like the Carapace/Luminescent armor.

I love this idea, too. These types of things could be acquirable in-game by doing the Dragon events, or something related.

The Gods Outfits!!!

1) Dwayna

2) Grenth

3) Lyssa

4) Melandru

*They’ve already done Balthazaar so there’s a good chance we’ll see these others soon! I’ll post Balthazaar at the bottom so people can see how it’s exactly the same as the outfit in-game.

My idea for guardian.

Guardian + cape + phantom wings

instead of just posting other peoples art and armor from other games just because they look good I’m going to actually give my idea.
I would like an armor with a passive effect that gives and aura or effect when equipping. Each couple of pieces would gradually increases the effect. Black flames or an aura, something of the such. And different pieces of different sets would have different colors. So you could mix and match your sets to achieve different appearances/colors.

*More armor of all weights that expose the arms and back, where the bioluminescence is on Sylvari. So much of the “skimpy” armor in the game exposes the stomach (where there is no BL) yet has long sleeves and a partially or (often) fully covered back.

*More leggings or chest pieces (depending on armor weight) with no butt-capes.

Just need more exposure. Go crazy.

My Sylvari have nothing to hide.

Oh god… that second pic…

EDITED for better boots, still needs work

Please don’t crucify me for pulling the parts of this pic from absolutely all over the place without recording where…other than the way it’s put together/edited none of it is mine xD

But I’ve always had a thing for hand bras and skeleton-themed armor, couldn’t find a decent set of skeletal hands that I could easily work with for the bra, and it needs properly themed boots, but those are also very difficult to find, the ascended heavy boots are close enough for this though I think

But here it is:

ICE armor….. not winter coats or hats….

ARMOR THAT MAKES YOU LOOK LIKE ICE!

I think we could benefit from getting some actual fashion designers to design the armors and costume, then let Anet make them. After this most recent Daydreamer’s Finery for females, with high heels over thigh high sock, it’s obvious some outside views are needed.

I want knitted pullovers. It would be awesome on my thief.
Or at least more coats like the duelist coat.

I agree with needing fashion designers to design armor and outfits, but high heels and thigh highs are awesome if done properly (I am taking fashion & design, now!).

The problem I have with the Daydreamer’s Finery is that the skirt part on females is too bulky in the front so the two long side straps in the front on either side of the center one could of been significantly shorter, and I feel like it didn’t necessarily have to be a complete two piece, it could of had a couple connecting points that still retained the midriff. I think this would give the outfit a more balanced appearance. Aside from that the rest of the outfit is beautiful from an artistic standpoint, and their attention to the smaller details is spot on with that.

I’m too lazy to look through everything here… but, if it hasn’t been suggested already… It would be nice to pull in an armor set that has a glow/aura depending on profession, like the GW1 bosses.

(sorry about the low quality and small pix…)

Edit: Oh… and maybe some armor for female humans that doesn’t have a molded boob plate or boob window or some other massive hole that exposes skin…. It would be nice to have my ranger in some actual nice looking armor xD Or make all the male armor nothing but speedos and leather straps to compensate, I’d be cool with that too.

Oooh! Has to be the Elite Stormforged set

I want 2 things :

- cape back item.
- anything medium that is not a coat.

Maybe an armor set that has a glow that is different at night than during the day. Similar to Eternity.

Just thought of another idea… If the light/med/heavy classifications were removed. (ONLY FOR SKINS) as in you could skin a light helm skin on med, or a mid chest piece on a light… keep the class armor restrictions, but allow the skins to become universal…. that would open so many possibilities in armor mix and matching QuQ Never going to happen probably, but I would be satisfied.

Look! they already have the basic effect done and in game!

The newer heavy armor unreleased or some released are missing a shoulder, maybe don’t forget a shoulder side?

Oh boy this is an old thread. I’d LOVE to see the rest of the god outfits added into the game. Lyssa outfit next please. <3

Shanna.4762:

The Gods Outfits!!!

Kormir goddess outfit is missing,
I hope Arena is going to include it.

prefer Dwayna outfit as next release.

masks .

just copy Aion, armors, weapons, extended weapons, wings, emotes, dances, pets.

I want thiiiiiis!!!

http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/File:Elementalist_Elite_Iceforged_armor_f.jpg

I am eagerly hoping for a god armor release like they had with balthazar…but please don’t make it an outfit. ;-;

Don’t get me wrong, the advantage of outfits is that you don’t have to use transmutation charges, but they have such limited customization. But I know you can’t just take out transmutation charges completely, because of the way you all use money from the gemstore to finance the games progression.

This is all very interesting but Anet doesn’t seem very interested in making skins anymore, just bland outfits, which you cannot mix ’n match.

But we can all dream, can’t we?
