Guild Wars 2

So the Dynamics Exo-Suit is here and while the armor itself looks great, the outfit has a minor issue. The thing bothering me are the holographic parts that are overpowering the whole outfit. They are huge and shiny, to the point where it’s all you pay attention to while wearing the Exo-Suit. You can’t really incorporate them in darker color-scheme since even the darkest dyes turn out really bright. I can understand that it could’ve been the goal for the designers and that some people enjoy the way those look. However, I’ve heard the same complaint from the people I play with, as well as random players. The solution would be simple enough, at least I think so, and it wouldn’t require changing the outfit itself, so people that like it how it looks right now won’t get upset. All that has to be done is incorporating an option to toggle the holographic bits of the armor. As we are all aware, we have an option like that already in game, where we can turn off the visibility of our helmets, shoulder guards and gloves. I don’t imagine it being much different from what I’m suggesting. That being said, I have next to no experience in that matter and would love to hear an opinion from someone who knows more about it.

Paragraphs, please…

But on topic: I made a post recently where I stated, the more people that obtain legendary armor the less likely they are to invest into the cash shop – since then, we have seen skins that are apparently, better than legendary armor in terms of shine.

I think this trend will continue and won’t change.

I personally dont dislike them, but maybe it would a good idea to make the holographic padding toggleable with toggling the shoulders

I am perfectly fine with them adding better and better skins to the gem store. After all people will know that you had to put in months of effort to get the legendary armor and this is a big part of getting it. Ultimate convenience and showing off.

On the other hand, it wouldn’t hurt to add some customization into those outfits that are being offered in the gem store. Even a simple toggle could make the item much more appealing to the public and therefore be more profitable. Win-win if you’d ask me.

That’s exactly what I was thinking about since only helmet toggle changes anything in the overall appearance.
