Guild Wars 2

This is my formal request for the development team to redo the medium legendary armor into something befitting our Adventurer Professions.

The trench coat designs have been ok for Engineers, Rangers and Thieves, but the current medium legendary armor design looks like a mismatched set of random pieces prior to transformation, and battlemageish once transformed during combat. The shoulders are gaudy. The chest emblem, or piece, looks a bit like a transformer face icon (ya know autobots and decepticons?). The wyvern face on the back clashes with the use of any back piece. Once transformed it makes the character look frumpy and silly…

Please don’t take this personal, but there is almost nothing about this armor that looks aesthetically pleasing, or even fits medium armor professions thematically. This armor is one of the most unattractive sets in the game for medium armor, and that’s not good because players have spent a whole lot of time and effort to obtain them over the past 2 years… I honestly wish I could say something good about the set, but I can’t. I’ve seen many players hide pieces of these armors to attempt to make it look better, and I am personally about to transform the entire thing to bladed or whispers… That’s just how offputting this medium Legendary set is.

To remind you of what was/is expected of the players to achieve these armors…

..So to get something so off putting in appearance is a really big let down after tackling that huge shopping list.

So let’s do this set and the Adventurer players justice…

1st picture- Pre transformation inspiration… Sleek and form fitting pieces that all aesthetically match, and are more appropriate for Engineers, Rangers and Thieves. This would make the armor look great out of battle.

2nd picture- Inspiration for an aggressive and menacing looking “made of bones and pieces of legendary beasts” transformed state.

It only took two years to make the first one. So it’s completely feasible for them to just up and redo everything now. I mean such a simplistic task, why wouldn’t you ask for it. And of course, if they did do it, it certainly wouldn’t open the door to every Tom, kitten, and Harry expecting their oh so simple requests be honored every time.

First and ONLY one.

Where there is a will, there is a way. The devs did not do this armor justice for medium armor classes. These are supposed to be the most kick butt looking sets of armor, but it makes our Engineers, Rangers and Thieves look silly in normal state and like frumpy battle wizards when transformed…

Most “trench” designs are at least more tasteful, but these look like the character is about to hit the catwalk for a tyria fashion show and ball dance after. This medium set does not scream stealthy and rugged skirmisher. It looks more fitting for our scholar classes… The current design would be akin to Dodge making the Dodge Demon a minivan…

This medium armor doesn’t make sense. It doesn’t make the character look good. It doesn’t look practical… I understand a lot of work went into it, but it just doesn’t match our medium armor classes at all.

Did you ever think some people actually like the medium armor? I mean i don’t care for it but other people do. Honestly this is a waste of a thread.. no one cares about your opinion just like no one cares about mine.

Urgh, please no.

I much prefer the legendary armour in-game to the suggested alternative, which looks like one of those attempts to reboot a superheroes cartoon spandex into something ‘dark’ and ‘serious’….then adds some random spikes for combat mode.

I appreciate a lot of people don’t like the long coats on medium armour, but did you really expect anything else for the legendary? Admittedly it’s a bit clunky for my ranger, but with the shoulders and gloves hidden it’s much better. And it’d be perfect for my thief.

I main a Ranger, in fact 2 Rangers, and I have to say I prefer the Legendary Medium Armor (which isn’t my favorite set in the game) to what you have proposed there. That doesn’t scream, or even whisper, Ranger, Thief or Engineer in Tyria to me, at all.

See? No matter what design is offered or proposed, some will like it, some say ‘meh’, and some don’t care for it, at all.

Good luck.

Then they should make an alternative set for each weight.

“A bit clunky” is an understatement when the armor looks like this…

They designed medium legendary just to troll people. They not gonna change anything.
