Guild Wars 2

By skirt I mean the lower part of a coat.

One thing that really annoys me is that many chest armor skins have coat tails and skirts. I mean sure, fine, but I kinda wish we get a bit more less-“lekittening” outfits for exploring since it kinda undermines the leggings skin from being visible and it feels like there’s just too many of skirted coats.

This is very egregious to medium armor even. A class based on agility shouldn’t have too movement-impending/hindering outfit! I mean I get the idea – they should look like outlaws/cowboys/pirates, but at the same time they should also offer the look of an acrobat or a marksman. I think the only skirtless coat for medium armor is the Glorious medium chest armor and the Charr lv80 cultural chest armor.

Good luck on that request a common request since day one as you can tell nothing has changed. I do agree but is what it is. One the reasons i liked gw1 better lol.

“lekittening”

lol wat

…is it french for… well kittening?

huh, it’s supposed to be leg impending

Impeding is what you were looking for. An impediment to movement.

Impending means that it’s about to happen. Your impending death in pvp.

It’s called buttcape. We don’t want more butt capes. :P I want more Light PANTS instead of silly puffy skirts that have clipping issues in every possible way.

you know you like your male chars looking like a cross dresser admit it hehe

I also think we’ve got more than enough skirts, dresses, long robes and butt capes. How about a moratorium on the same old design element until the non-skirt options catch up?

And while we’re at it, how about cutting down on the egregious ostentation and overly complicated things protruding all over the place?

What I think we really need is the skirt moved to a separate slot in the visual composition of armor (like how parts of the boots and gloves can disappear when covered by another armor thanks to being being separate parts or alternate models), so you can hide it when there’s pants underneath, or choose between the skirt from the torso or the legs. This way we’d get tons of pants, but also we’d be able to do things like wearing the entire coat of the male Light Heritage armor whit different pants.

That be way to much work as armor 1 model per part have to go through every armor in the game and rework the modeling of pants yea you’ll never see that change I wouldn’t even suggest that idea lol

be better off just designing new armor letting it be as is to be honest with ya

Yes, it’ll be a massive undertaking. And it won’t be doable for all armors. Only for those that have already something delimited enough under a skirt that isn’t just underwear. But the amount of extra possibilities we’d get would make it a whorthwhile undertaking.

There is someone in the art department whose sole job is to slap butt-capes on otherwise nice looking armor sets. Are you trying to make that person unemployed?!?

Less skirt armor, more skritt armor!

…whut? I want playable skritt.

Really though, stop with the buttcapes and trenchcoats for a while, pleasethanks.
