Guild Wars 2

I don’t know about you, but after 5 months of playing this game, I’m sick of all the armor skins.
Basically Medium armor are the worst.
Light armor on male = 80% skirts + Horrible.
Heavy armor= short skirts
Charr and Asura = no comment.

I wish there was more unique armors, like Arah Heavy armor or Duelist Medium armor, or Honor of the waves light armor.

All armors are the same copy with small variations, especially the low-med leveled ones.

And what did they add ?? more horrible light armor in the gem store.

Down with skirts! /shakes pitchfork

I’d like to see more styles too.

This design idea of templates is getting old really fast. Medium are all trenchcoats; heavy armor all have mini skirts (which is hilarious by the way). Light armor are all dresses.

Fashion creativity is hard to come by these days it seems.

I think they gave the heavy armor skirts so you would buy skins from the gem store. I know I did, and I am actually quite happy with my steampunk armor now.

Frankly.

they add gw1 skin and op! we have full of variety!

Copy/paste all (all) armor skins from GW1.

Please.

It’s not that we don’t have enough armor choices, because we have plenty. It’s that most of them are too similar or dislike by a good majority.

I really dont get why the medium armor is sooooooooooooo ugly.

They all seem to be very child looking (sorry for my english).

I think that all the people want more “bad kitten ” look instead of small tigger bags.

Come on even the back item are sooooooo for kids.

Honestly IMO thats the biggest issue for the current skin state.

+1 New armor skins would go down a treat i think, just don’t make it so kittened to get them that involves grinding like a kitten. Which is what you have to for anything in this game that looks good… Which i can’t lie i find insanely ironic in a game that was meant to be anti grind.

Really depends on what you mean by kitten. Random evil fiery armor with skulls of evilness, dyed with abyss of course, appeals more to children than the cutesy flower backpack given to us with The Secret of Southsun.

I want more ritualist-looking armors. How hard is it to make blindfolds?!!! We only have one.

Several postings that were against the rules of the forum have been removed. Please keep these rules in mind when posting.

Don’t get it, why was my post about armors deleted? That was before wolfy and his nonsense joined… Anyway, what i would like them to do (now that this game has enough cross class armors) is start releasing armors that suit more a certainly class to differentiate from others. Like a warrior could be getting the bulkiest armors, a guardian the most ‘holy’ looking ones and and engi the most high tech ones. Class specific armors is something they’ve removed for gw2 and is certainly missing

there needs to be more sexy armor for Males, across all 3 armor types.

so true…. the armor its sooooooo boring in this stage..and sooooooo……..ugly.

y they dont use GW1 armor?

for my personal point of view,, the GW1 armor skin sell on TP is uglest for GW1 armor…
if you are GW1 play will you buy this? I WONT….
looks these are lots and lots great GW1 skin can use… fasions, nightfall…..
arnet bring back the good stuff..

the reason may because…. GW1 still alive … if copy all to GW2 who gona play GW1? until GW1 sever shut down may have it back… really dont how much longer it gona wait.

Yeh we could really use a few more medium coats too.

Not enough medium coats to choose from atm.

Heavy Armor: Warrior-Templar & Obsidian, Paragon-Asura-Obsidian

Medium: Ranger-Druid & Obsidian, Assassin-Luxon & Canthan (not elite, normal)

Light: Can’t really say, never did PvE with light armor profession in Guild Wars 1.

I would pay in the upwards of 800 gems a skin for those, but I would prefer them to be around 400 gems each. I would buy them all if they were 400 gems each.

I am in full agreement.
It blows my mind that we have only seen ONE full set of additional armour added to the game (Aetherblade) since launch, and it’s not what I was looking for.

Oh yes, please!

In GW1 I had a hard time choosing which armor set I wanted to wear, because the majority of them looked really good. In GW2 I have a hard time deciding what armor to wear, because I need to sift through all the mediocrity just to find something decent.

In GW1 I was afraid of creating certain professions because I’d have to buy so many armor sets. In GW2 I can barely find one combination I like for each profession/race combination…

I like many of the light armor skins, but I really want see new elegant, stylish ones. Along the same sort of vein as Lady Kasmeer’s design. Elegant, detailed, feminine etc.

I played only mesmer and ele for a good while, but recently started rolling medium/heavy armor alts. Medium armor lacks some style…some of it is nice, but the boots…the BOOTS…why are some of them so big and ugly? Medium wearers can be stylish too…where are some nice, slim boots, with a small heel?

I do think there are nice armors, and hats off to the designer/s…but we do need some more variety, and some serious armor, not going off to much into disney land/comical big boots/shoulders.

Perhaps a few….. I dunno… Trenchcoats??

Seriously, how did making Ranger skirts and Tunics become a lost art?

Are you kidding me? There are too many coats for medium, it makes no sense at all! There needs to be way more fashionable medium armor and they need to get more creative than coats. It’s literally 95% coats.

Heavy armor has skirts, because real plate armor has skirts. If you want to be able to move your legs, you can’t have solid plate at you hips, so that had plate/chainmail skirts to protect the weak point.

I thought this game had a cosmetic reward system like Guild Wars 1.

Where is the Fractals armor for people who reached 40+ fractals? I realize weapons are a lot easier to do. Can you please hire some artists to make some armors? Is making armor too hard?

I am on board with the new-armors-in-gmae-but-not limited-time-or-RNG-boxed idea. These achievement point rewards are cool, not gonna deny it. But we need more new armor that drops out in the world. Ya know, like real in-game stuff.

More medium armor that isn’t trenchcoats.
More light armor that isn’t too wimpy on male characters.

That’s what they claimed.

Weapons, you just make them once and you scale the size based on the character’s size.

Armors, you need to make a variation for medium sized characters (humans, sylvari), one for charrs, one for asura and one for norns (which isn’t exactly the same as humans).

And make a bunch of human only armor?…

It’s not as easy to just copy and paste the models… first they need to upgrade them a bit or they’d look out of place alongside GW2 models, then tweak the models so they work with all the different body types you can create characters with in GW2 instead of the much more limited ones in GW1… and that’s only to make them fit humans, they’d have to re-create each skin for charr and asura, assuming they can get away with just scaling them for norn and sylvari (which I have to say, at least male norn have very different body types available than humans do).

They would have to pretty much redo them entirely. Like you said, they would have to adjust the meshes (polygons, physical shape, etc) to fit the new bodies, and they would have to entirely make them from scratch to fit Charr and Asura. Then comes the texturing (colors, detail, roughness, smoothness, shading, shininess, etc) all has to be made from scratch to fit the resolution and lighting of the GW2 environment. Yeah, they can’t just pop into the GW1 files and ctrl+C the armors, then ctrl+V them into GW2. Doesn’t work like that lol.

As opposed to the difficulty involved in creating an entire zone, complete with new movement skill mechanics. The design of the Labrynthine Cliffs is gorgeous….can someone now design some armors?

Weapon/armor designers aren’t necessarily “world” designers.
In fact I’m gonna bet they’re two separate departments in most game companies.

Can we please not start a thread titled “New Armor Skins” unless there are actual images of said armor.
