Guild Wars 2

I’m going to open up by saying that, yes, i have seen, read and replied to the thread about female charr/asura armour.

But, i feel the issue here runs deeper, and i’m honestly feeling somewhat conflicted about the legendary armour in general.

This set of armour is standing to be perhaps the most prestigious set there is out there. While Nevermore requires you to go through a significant amount (read: basically all) of the HoT story, for legendary armour in addition you have to clear the entire three raid wings, along with a host of other stuff. Raids are the pinnacle of PvE endeavours, basically the hardest PvE content there is out there. Added to everything else, i believe legendary armour can carry more prestige than any other set of armour.

Yet what we are seeing for the precursors is… unencouraging, to say the least. I was hoping to be dazzled, to be able to wear a unique armour set, one to be truly proud of having created – and yet it feels like i’ve just gotten… basically an adapted set of human armour.

I mean – i mainly play asura, but i sympathise for the charr too. The least that could’ve been done for literally the most prestigious and difficult to aquire set in the game is to make it integrate the ears and tails in some way, and not suffer the same clipping issues our races have always faced. We’ve literally just gotten the human armours copied.

With the amount of time, focus, effort it takes to aquire this truly unique set of armour… i’d honestly expect it to also be the most amazing armour that i could acquire in the game. I really, really appreciate the devs reaching out with the offer to use the male armour on females, and i love how they’ve reached out and reacted, but still… i feel like at least there could’ve been a little bit of attention to detail for the different races, a little bit of extra effort put in, so that for just this one set, this one extremely hard to acquire set, we wouldnt have to face the terribly immersion-breaking clipping issues.

And, the point of what i’m trying to say is… i’d honestly not mind waiting another month on top of the current wait for it if it’d mean i could get a truly amazing armour set that i’ll never run into any annoying issues with. I’d rather proper time be put into this for all races and we get it later, than we get it faster and lower-quality.
