I understand if you can’t add a on/off toggle for the shoulders when it comes to outfits. Really.
But please, Anet, can you please stop making gigantic pauldrons on outfits? Half of the time you make a really nice looking outfit, you just ruin it by sticking oversized shoulderpads on it. Not only that, but on certain characters (male Sylvari), the shoulders are outstretched, making the outfits even worse.
Just making them smaller would be enough, really.

The Mursaat outfit is probably the worst offender, since the size of the shoulders make male character’s bare arms look like twigs if you’re not playing a bulky character.

Some of the best shoulder armour skins are funnily enough the cheap skins you can get early in game.

But yeah it would be nice if you could also toggle them off on outfits.

Agreed. The outfit is pretty nice…won’t consider it with those ghastly shoulders. Same with the previous new outfit, which I don’t recall the name. Outfit is cool but the shoulders ruin it for me.

It’d be nice to be able to hide outfit shoulders, although for this particular outfit it is based on the GW1 design so they tried to keep it similar.

if you think male sylvari has big shoulders try to play male norn with most muscular body type…

but yeh i agree
The shoulder pieces for most outfits even are obviously a single piece attached to the rest and it would be no big problem to give a toggle option for it i guess

making them smaller shouldnt apply to all armors since it fits perfectly on other race/gender combinations
Anet would have to fix the shoulder size for the male muscular norn and like you say male sylvari

I ain’t no soldier or warrior err nuthin’, but I’m thinkin’ a suit of armor for an infantryman that limits your view to a 45 degree cone in front of you (only) is umm… tactically unsound. ;p

Ayup, a lot of the shoulders being released nowadays are just over-huge. It’s not even spite against game-that-shall-not-be-named, but a semi-ridiculous aesthetic that I had assumed unnecessary in Guild Wars 2. At onset, GW2 leaned more toward the sincere and real-fantasy. ..and now it’s butterfly wings and shoulders you could staple together into a canoe.

It’s a shame, too, because some of the outfits weren’t so bad, excepting the ridiculous shoulders.

/signed. Please stop the huge shoulders. I got a new exotic shoulder drop for my Rev and when I put them on I actually exclaimed out loud: “wow”! And that was not in a good way. If your shoulder pieces are bigger than your head (not counting wing-type projections), that is too big. I didn’t choose the Radiant shoulders because they were grotesquely large. The Hellfire shoulders are almost small enough to not be ridiculous.

Its really too bad because the only “normal” size shoulders are really plain.

The giant shoulders of both outfits and separate armor pieces makes me think of WoW (not that I dislike WoW, it was my first MMO. I just moved away from it when I no longer had the free time to justify paying a subscription), and I don’t see GW2 as being WoW. Some shoulders, though, look great on certain races, genders, or even body builds, but not all. I usually hide shoulder armor on Charr because of how oversized they look. Many shoulder pieces also have serious clipping issues (which doesn’t usually bother me unless it’s incredibly obvious 24/7).

I LOVE big Shoulder pads! Not as much the Gigantic though, but last time I checked, there aren’t gigantic shoulders in the game, and if there are on some set and they are not your style, you can always transmute them.

Burden of koda says “hello”. There were always huge pauldrons in this game, and the smaller/less notable skins are low-tier. It’s like weapon crafting: start with simple, go through metals that look “normal”, and then exotic is a weapon made out of pearl stuff for some reason.

Overall the shoulders haven’t bothered me much. But on the Bloody Prince Outfit, oh man. Without those spikes there would be sooooo many uses for that, it can dye in interesting layers, it looks elegant (just hide the mouth paint). Then you add in the shoulders and there’s no point to wearing it most of the year.

the point of this topic is that you CANT transmute them because you cannot change anything on outfits

not to mention that what the kitten are you going to transmute them into? every other shoulder is the size of a barge, too! and when they arent, they are little dinky things that are basically a square of leather 4 inches across that lays across your characters bicep. WHOOPDEEFREAKINGDOO.

and dont even get me started on the poor charr, with their barge-sized magically-floating gravity-defying shoulders that hover a foot above their actual…. shoulder.
