Guild Wars 2

Just reading about Lord Farren being so scantily clad this Wintersday …

I really don’t want to see more skin from any of my characters …

Who would want to see a heavyset Norn strutting around exposing his chankles?,(calves that droop to his ankles) there is a thread about running around bootless.

I would rather see armor skins that make sense, rational armor … armor that doesn’t cut or appear through another set.

You craft or re-skin leggings that looks great but the boots or shoes you like the style of show and the boots that are supposed to go with that set look like something I drew in a doodle in first grade …

Concept art always looks so awesome, then when it gets translated onto certain characters it looks ridiculous. Case in point, the Profane Light armor set on an Asura male, the poor little guy has so much bow in his legs (pronounced more so than if he was standing around in his underwear).

Now on the subject of Asura; what is it with the excessive arm swing when they run, it reminds me of when the Assassin class was introduced in Factions, that first month of running around like a bone minion was interesting but it got fixed into something somewhat more realistic. Am I ranting, no, it doesn’t change how the game is played but, just saying it is comical.

Oh wait, here’s my rant … go to the Citadel and observe Charr children and adults running around in the upright position but yet we’re forced to play the hop-a-long version. Oh, I know you can continually spam a weapon skill to avoid the clump-clump, and by now I almost have gotten immune to the nauseating effect (mainly because I spam a weapon skill a lot) … but wouldn’t it be nice to see Charr running upright like they did in Guild Wars, only getting on all fours during a speed boost.

I really like the Shadow Assassin outfit you can get from the Trading Post, but why does the female version have the stupid bow, really?, finish the awesome skin with a nasty bow that’s “SO HUGE” … I think you get my meaning.

small trivial things that are only eye candy

one of the reasons this game is the best … if only …

A good proverb:

i agree with the Charr running issue whole heartedly. I have been trying to create Charr characters with many classes and engineer is the only one i am can keep. Yes because of weapon kit i can kept him running with 2 legs.

Well, don’t quote me on this, but I have heard it rumoured that lady-people occasionally indulge in a little GW2

Rational armour?

Okay, well, rationally speaking, we’re fighting giants, dragons, monsters, magic-wielders, gunslingers, and other manners of beings. Rationally speaking, any suit of armour you could realistically wear would be entirely useless against a giant or a dragon that’s the size of a house. Medieval armour didn’t even entirely protect them from real weapons like a mace. A giant wielding a tree is not going to be concerned with whether you’re wearing a sheet of metal, a skinned cow, or a skinned sheep. A magic-caster dropping ice chunks the size of boulders will give no craps either.

Therefore, rationally, metal armour is pointless, as one’s best defense is a good offense and good mobility, which a big chunk of heavy metal hinders, rather than aids.

The obvious conclusion, rationally, is that the best armour would be that which gives you greatest mobility, is unlikely to get caught on things (or itself), cannot be tripped over, and won’t get in your way or block your vision. In other words, the rationally best armour would be… skimpy. You won’t trip over a pair of shorts or a bikini, like you would a robe. A pair of briefs won’t restrict your movement, like a suit of heavy metal would. A bikini top or tank top wouldn’t get caught on itself, like a trenchcoat heavy on buckles may.

Rationally speaking, Faren is more appropriately attired for active, evasive combat in his undies than your warrior running around in full plate.
