Guild Wars 2

I had a few critiques about the Legendary armors before, and I still have a concern with the way the medium hood is designed. The hood overall is too big for the characters face, and makes the character look like a bobble head or wearing an oversized hoodie. Even the Whispers hood is smaller, but still a bit funky looking (front view doesn’t look bad with the mask though).

Please do 1 of 2 things…

Reduce the size of the head piece or give it a face covering.

I have yet to see the back of the armor, but I’m assuming the wyvern face is still there and will not work when using any back piece, unless it’s oversized and covers the entire wyvern face image.

…The image doesn’t look bad on an Asura, from a proportionate standpoint, but I’m concerned with way it will be on the other races. I’m thinking more players would like a sleek and battle ready look, as opposed to a disproportionate and “runway” style that has oversized pieces tacked on.

I’ll look at images from a computer in a bit to give more feedback.

Thanks.

Edit- looked at the envoy armor on Norn again. The hood is oversized to match the oversized shoulder pieces and back piece. My earlier suggestions still stands… Reduce the size of the hood, shoulder and back pieces or simply add a face covering so it doesn’t make the character look a child wearing an oversized hood. I think reducing proportions will make this a sleeker and more battle ready looking outfit.

I came in here expecting it to be about “muh trench coat”. Pleasantly surprised!

Personally I think it looks fine. I main asura and that hood is no bigger than any other hood, especially considering the ears are supposed to fit in there somehow.

Are there any pictures of it on other races? I can only find the asura image.

I’m not at a computer so I can’t check if there are preview pieces in the wardrobe, but you can look at the pre leg armors and get a feeling for what I’m saying.

Yeah I can see what you are saying but to each their own. Personally I think the armor suffers a lot more from being really generic. It’s detailed, but it’s still just another trench coat. The detail is lost when viewed from more than 10 feet away. It doesn’t give off a distinctive silhouette (that’s a critical animation element).

I don’t hate the armor, but I can understand why others do. There are a lot of basic fundamental art design issues holding it back. I think they focused too much on the technical hurdles of making the transformation.

We don’t know what the effect on them will be as of yet. I don’t think the pics are the best possible and just give the general idea.

Personally like the medium armor the least cause it mainly reminds me of arah and bladed armor mix. But might look different on other races.
