Guild Wars 2

Not sure what is the community’s opinion on this. I’ve ran a little search on the forums and haven’t found anything.

I don’t want to create yet another skin topic, but I would like to ask your opinion on this. What do you guys think about some unusual and a little off the traditional medieval look for gear? I was thinking about something like ANet’s own take on military style for instance, with camo pants or shorts which allowed us to die the different patterns. “ANet’s own take” means they wouldn’t be copying the real life look of the military, but something ANet would design themselves other than the traditional medieval gear look.

Another idea is more or less like a sports uniform. Again, I am not saying they should copy the real life huge numbers on the front and back, but the “sports style” and look. Like something completely GW2-ish that we could use for PvP or WvW if we wanted, that looked like a team, with same color customizations.

Again, these 2 are just ideas. You may have some on your own or you may completely reject that idea altogether.

In the days of old, camouflage didn’t mean you were a soldier, it meant you were an assassin or a spy.

Many players don’t like it when there are items that break immersion by being too outside the idiom or theme of the game.

I would not like it if I were playing something like Battlefield and other players dressed up like a bunny or kittentail waitress or a football player.

It doesn’t take much of that to make it start feeling less like a fantasy game and more like a costume party.

Edit:

Nope, I would absolutely dislike it. All clothing, armour and weapons should make sense in the GW2 setting. This game has a really pretty art style and world design, one of the best ever IMO and I’d like to preserve that. There’s already a small amount of gimmick skins, and I think that’s about enough.

If you want military style characters, there’s already plenty of GW2 appropriate styles you can choose. For example the Seraph, Ministry Guard, Vigil etc.
