Guild Wars 2

Title says it all.

Im tempted to avoid the elite simple because I dont want my girl becoming a dude in the middle of the fight. I know, its silly. But still, would love to see getting a new model for females characters.

The lich already wear a skirt. Can you physically confirm its not a girl? Maybe she’s just a little buff (given her size, steroids are no doubt involved).

What’s up, you got a problem with girls becoming dudes or something?

And what about the other races? Lich form is pretty humanoid. Why does Charr necro suddenly become humanoid? Why didn’t they make 10 models instead of 1? Truly puzzling.

That would be an intense amount of remodeling because every character no matter race or gender turns into a Norn. Female or Male is not specified, (most likely male but still)

It’s gender neutral. I checked under the skirt.

It’s male, I’m fairly sure the dance is the norn male dance, which means lich uses the norn male model.

I get what you mean about not having female models, but like what has already been mentioned, making 1 model is much easier than making 10. After all, it is just for one skill.

Personally, I kinda like it when my little asuran necro turns into a huge character. I find it funny :P

I’d like customization on the Elite transforms. Even customization for the profession color schemes too. A lot of Mesmer’s have voiced a level of disdain over having a male characters with purple and butterflies. Well, I feel similarly over my Necro and the green. I especially dislike the black Scythe animation overlaying on my Kasmeer Staff.

I don’t know, I wonder if the Dev’s ever truly considered how much customization would be required for a game that earns money selling aesthetic items?

More customization along these lines would be fantastic, in my opinion.
But, the amount of work needed to go into it is questionable. Not just talking about new models and such, but the load on the game server as well.
I’m not qualified to really guess at such things, but I know it can be an issue. Hopefully, it’s something they can do… I like to think GW2 is advanced enough to handle such things.

If cheesy dancing determine gender there are alot of gender confused people in the world.

Wait, can the lich form dance? mind blown

And no, I dont have any problems with girls becoming dudes, Ive seen enough of the internet and japan, to appreciate it hahaha.

I’m not asking for every race to have their own lich form (that would be AMAZING), but just a female/male counterpart would be really cool to set them apart.

Especially when I plan on getting at least one more necro on my account.

Just popping in real quick to voice my support of this.

On a somewhat related but quite tangential note: as this is a problem that’s appeared in numerous games/mmos, I’ve always wondered why developers don’t opt for a single, gender neutral model.

Like, insread of a half naked, beef cakey, clearly masculine coded model, why not something more subtle like… Like maybe like… a gaunt figure shrouded in tattered robes, drifting through the air, a hazey green mist seeping from ragged sleeves, face obscured by the blackness of the abyss save for two eyes burning green with unearthly powers…

Or something. Anyway, just tired of “The Ultimate Necromantic/Demonic/Eldritch Transformation” always looking like a half naked weightlifting, steroid junkie, Iron Man competitor. Don’t get me wrong, Lich form looks cool and props to the artists that pulled it off but… it’s just so played out

Actually, the arm swing on Lich dancing looks the same as the Female Norn too.

I think its weirder for men to turn into nearly naked women than it is for women to turn into a huge glowy skeleton.

Were people asking for a female Balthazar and male Lyssa back in GW1 as well?
