Guild Wars 2

Hey,
After some time playing this game I have one, kinda important objection… As an Engineer, I have to say that most of the medium armors look terrible! Comparing to heavy and light armors, even these on early levels of our adventure, “mediums” are the worst looking in the game… Half of the available sets from tokens are not even good. Yes, I found some really awesome and epic armors, but the game really lacks more like those.
I know it’s only my own opinion, but I’d like to know how do YOU like them?
Post some answers below,
Have a nice day!

Me personally, I’m a fan of the trench coat. I like all the long leather jackets, but for others, I understand their concern.

There is no variety in medium armor. Almost every medium armor is a long coat and pants. And out of all those, they all pretty much look the exact same with minor differences.

Heavy and light have a bunch of differences and variety in their sets, but medium is severely lacking in any variety. Hopefully whenever they decide to introduce new armor/skins, they don’t make anymore long coats/jackets. We already have plenty of them in medium, go with something new.

After seeing about 200 trench coats at once it does get a bit boring. Also, there doesn’t seem to be any kittenty outfits for the female characters other then the racial for human females. not even cosmetics in the store.

It would be awesome if we got an infusion of alot of different medium armor skins that don’t involve coats, huge shoulders, and maybe some two lense goggles instead of a single lense. Single lense was great for my thief by i’d imagine my engi would have two lenses on his one for each eye to simulate the look of his goggle gadget.

Oh and would love the engineer ones to move a bit, like lenses flipping in and out and whirring and such. That would be awesomesauce.

There is very little variation in the silhouette and shaping of medium armors.

This is a problem with all three armor types, but it’s most pronounced with the medium selection. There is a ridiculous number of long and bulky coats.

There also seems to be a lot more clipping issues—certainly much more than I’ve encountered with light armors—so mixing and matching is also more limited.

I think there needs to be (a lot) more variety across the board. But medium armor is the most in need of attention.

Alot of them look okay on males, but medium armor on females is horrible aside from some culture stuff and order armor.

I guess this is up to taste.
I actually think the leather armor of dungeons is still the best in game.
But this is my taste I like the gunslinger style with long coats.
I actually think that most light armor looks terrible, or at least not realy special.

But theres one thing I realized in the last months. Armor looks a lot better worn then in the preview and colors make armors actually shine.

Yeah i think thats the problem i kind of like the look of coats when i had a male engineer but with my female thief it just looks bad for me.

IMO it should be bettter if it was different for female like with light armor.

Like this for example:

Like this for example:

Those are sweet. Where are those from?

Also, it seems some medium armor are meant for thieves/assassins, not for engineers or rangers. Example is the human cultural tier 3 armor.

It would be great to have a variety of medium armor. The long coats are nice, but there are too many.
