Guild Wars 2

Don’t know if it’s been asked before but it’s in the title, devs.

Do you think it would be nice to see more varied sets of cultural-themed armors/skins for each race available?

As much as I enjoy the current ones you can only choose the same T3 Asura light coat so many times until it gets rather bland. Not to mention the shoulders completely missing on females yet males can have em’.

Same goes for Sylvari – not that many leaf-themed armor skins available in the first place.

A humble request ANet, please add some more cultural armor skins into the game and feel free to discuss this topic amongst yourselves.

I was thinking about this yesterday while running on my sylvari mesmer. A couple more options would be nice. Even if it was just splitting the glow and higher quality coloring (which were changed way back when) into two separate sets, it would be something.

Oh, and sylvari cultural armor that shows more skin color and glow would be great too. The original flamekissed armor looked fantastic on sylvari.

Nope. Nah. No. Cuz anet.

I doubt it, but who knows.
It would be cool to see additional tiers. As long as you can just buy them with gold that us, no tokens or crafting please.

HA! nope, would mean they make armor skins that fit perfectly on each and thats a no go arround here. Just ask for outfits, account bound weapon skins and gliders on the gemstore.. there is where its at.

This has been asked before, but I don’t recall ANet giving a yes or no on the subject. Would be nice though.

I actually thought with hot we would get cultural armor tier 4 5 and 6. I was so wrong

I’m afraid if we ever get new Sylvari cultural armor it will be the same clipping nightmare like the old ones… I am so sick of those huge leafy skirts, I want something tight…

I would really really like some more cultural armor

They wont release more cultural armors and they already said that at one point as its cost them a lot of resources just for 1 race. Not going to dig that quote tho. It was like 1-2 years ago.

That’s a pity, I’m quite fond of the charr cultural armors. I can see why they wouldn’t want to devote resources to something that’s probably pretty niche, but it would be another nice little minor gold sink.

In the least-effort scenario, new cultural armor would require 30 new pieces (with the most minor of gender variations possible). Given how much people clamor for new armor skins (and bemoan minor gender variations as opposed to distinct differences), would the community really go along with this? That’s 5 armor sets that can only be worn by a single race, whereas the same effort could probably produce 3-5 armor sets that can be shared by all characters.

I’m all in favor of ANet adding in as many new skin sets as possible, available through as many different methods as possible (pvp, wvw, pve, gem shop, etc). I just can’t imagine they have the art and animation resources to make even one new tier of cultural armor happen.

The only cultural armors that I personally ever would want to see are

Tier 4 Exotic
Tier 5 Ascended
Tier 6 Legendary

After that shouldn#t come any more cultural armors as its too much effort for equipment, thats then only useable by only one race

Tier 4-6 should have then other requirements as well, while the first 3 tiers are basicalyl the easy mode tiers, which have basically no requirements other tan beign the right level and having enough gold to buy them.

Tier 4-6 should require more thigns to be done in the game instead of having only absurd amounts of gold.
Which means, they should still be money sinks, no question, but the monky sink should be the main focus

Tier 4-6 should feel more like rewards for things you have done in the game and not something, that you simple bought.

Especialyl Tier 6 needs to be the alternative for people which don’t care able raids and want to have an alternative way to work on some kind of legendarsy armor, which also don’t care on the loooks (due to using skin change anyways later), but don’t want to miss the quality of life mechanic that is free attribute changing from legendary equipment without beign forced to play raids just to get complete legendary equipment and complete build diversity freedom for what is freely changeable attributes an absolute MUST…

Unless anet doesn#t add more alternative ways, then its imo an absolute muts, that ascended equipment needs to get upgraded by the attribute changing feature, so that legendary equipment again ist just for the visuals and not for any kind of gameplay advantages and beign able to change attributes out of combat at will is a kind of gameplay advantage..at least for WvW very much, when you can quickly adapt to situations just by fleeing long enough to enable you to quickly change stats, while others without such eqipment either are always with that static builds, or are forced to run with multiple sets of armors in their equipment to have a bit more build diversity on the fly when out of combat.

However, eventualyl we iwll see somethign liek this for the next expansion..who knows

The only Charr cultural armors I found to be of value are the Heavy armors (In which they forgot to conceal charr ears in the T1 helmet), and T3 medium. The T1+2 medium, and all Light armors are complete trash (Especially T3 light on charr.)
