Guild Wars 2

So a bit earlier I saw a human female character who had equipped the Aetherblade heavy armor skin, and it looked quite a bit different from the skin equipped on my human male. Here’s a link to the wiki:

You may need to highlight it, right click, and click “go to link” but it should work.

Anyways, in my opinion the shoulderpad for the human and sylvari females looks way better than the kitten y gear standing up and kind of floating (?) above the shoulderpads of the Asura, Charr, and Human Males.

Is there a reason for this? If so, could the male armor have the option to be changed? Or maybe I’m completely wrong. The helmet for the female armor also looks better. Anyways, just wondering what this was about. Any help would be much appreciated. Have a great time in Tyria everyone!.

From my experience the armor skins usually vary a lot between gender and race. I imagine it just has to do with how the artists and devs created it. I think the idea is they should look a bit different between gender due to differences in gender as a whole.

The human male heavy helmet is not so appealing and I don’t use it. The rest I like.

We female charrs and asurans wear only male outfits…so whatcha talking about -__-.

You’re right. My main point here was that, at least from my perspective, the sylvari and human female heavy armor Aetherblade skins look far better than the skins for the Asurans, Charr, and the Norn and Human males, and that it would be fantastic to have an option to change which version of the skin you use.

Truly fantastic and creative.

It’s true.. the males have this absolutely stupid looking enormous cog sticking way out of the shoulders & the Females have a cool looking machine attached correctly behind.

But since they haven’t even fixed the massive amount of clipping & bulging, I highly doubt they’ll fix what they did on purpose.

It’s a shame too.

Godkitten it Anet, I just wanna have the ability to look decent without grinding for gear!.
