Guild Wars 2

Hey there! I was away from the game and wonder, if there are still no plans to change certain things.

Armor
There still no standard pants for light and heavy armor? How lame. I think you should finally remove the skin barrier regarding the light, heavy and medium status. After there are Outfits now, Heavy can wear dresses and light gets armed anyway. While parting the skins into three armorclasses, we loose lots of nice combinations (light in medium pants!). Though medium cloaks and light skirts might clip heavy, there are already more than enough clipping issues and you do not have to combine it. Furthermore the lines between heavy (mini skirts with a bit of metal), medium (human t3 shows more skin than most light armors) and light (the reward armors look mostly like heavy). Only add some stronger attribute differences between the armors, so that a glasscannon warrior in light armor deals even more damage, but can take less than a glass cannon ele. Also still non colorateable parts on skins with less than three colors..

Appearance
Still no norn faces/hairstyles for human and the other way around? That does only limit our possibility to give our charakter a personal design. Furthermore add finally a tattoo slot. The erong tattoo can destroy a real cool look and the right one can perfect it. For especially good examples take the starter for necro. They wood make great tattoos (especially on Norn), but they are limited to light armor, are limited to the face and cannot combined with with other helmets. Also scars would be a nice addition.

Rebirth Kit
New stuff, new living world content, new perspective. I think a way to completly remodel a char would be a great idea (equipment gets account bound, personal or at least race bound story is deleted, equipped equipment will be destroyed after a warning, you loose your skills and fall back to level one, therefore you can change everything including race and profession). This could be a start to a new kind of items – without effect on the actual game (no buff or so) and as such only buyable with real money and not with gems is OK. The thought behind this is the price. There are a few things I would pay for a bit of money like 5 € or less for a make over kit or a name change. I mean items only buyable with real money could be rather cheap to bait many player while gemstoreitems must have a certain price to keep the ingame-economy.

Combinated street clothes as outfits
Why not add a new npc, that sells street clothing outfits: you can there choose a set of street clorhes and colorate it with 4 different colors, this set can than be equipped as an outfit. Make it 500 gems and you can be sure that many will love this npc.

Removing the skin barrier isn’t… oh y’know what? Sorry but I’m friggin’ sick of explaining this every other day.

Mixing light, medium, and heavy armor is not physically possible with the games modeling and rendering engine. Mixing town clothes, outfits, and armor is also not possible for the exact same reason. And no, there is absolutely no way around it without remaking most of the games armor and textures.

If you want to find out why, you can google it.

[Edit] Nearly forgot the most important scaling
If my lvl 3 charakter needs 20 hits to kill the lvl 3 foe, 50 level 80 players should need 1000 hits on the same foe! Only increase health if foe does get a hit from an additional player and give a max dmg amount a foe can get from a single player. Adding a few champs on crowded events is not really a solution.

@conncept: Even if I google, I wouldnt understand anyway. Cant they alternate clone the skins for each instead throwing them together? I mean there are already a few skins that share the same skin for light, heavy and medium. And I didnt mean mixing street clothes with other skins. I mean to create a set only out of street clothes that functions than as an outfit. Anyway, light pants would be already enough to make me happy

You should have it copied to a text document so when these threads come up, you can just paste it in ^-^

OP i like the idea of the rebirth kit, that is a semi good way around the points anet has used to explain why race and class changes arent possible, however there is one problem. the rewards you get from doing the stories and leveling. Since you now get rewards for those, restarting your character would reset both the story and your levels, and would also reset the rewards gained.

I really don’t want humans to get norn faces and vice versa. Just because norn can be seen as oversized humans does not make them so, racially. Norn and humans have their own separate identities, customs, culture, etc, and thus their appearances should be distinct to reflect that. If they pulled from the same set of faces then it’d be confusing and remove uniqueness from both races.

From what I’ve heard Anet has already stated there will be no “rebirths” as you put it, e.g. changing race because…reasons.

I’m trying hard to figure out what exactly is the difference between this ^^ and just adding a new slot and creating a new character.

@jovian I would have loved a game with norn wearing norn clothes and sylvari only plant clothes, but they do wear all the same… The Norn could have kept also their rather pale skin instead of adding dark tones… I love the look of the norn, but humans ate smaller and have at least not only useless race skills. I wish only for a better looking human and thst would exactly be the way norn look to me.

@Anyandrell. I am actually neither interested in race nor in ptofession changes but obviously many others, especially the race change. The difference is to keep certain things:

• the name.
• progress like in dungeons or the map
• equipment
  • after you cannot use lvl 80 gear with lvl 1 this have to be put in your bag or will be destroeyd. Through making it Accountbound it could be also used on other charakters if you change profession.

The actual idea is, that an only cosmetic change won’t do, everything bound to your race and profession had to be deleted. So Yeah, it is more or less making a complete new charakter, but that bit of personal story + Leveling to 80 is not really that much of work, deciding is everything after that. I mean lets say you played your first charakter very far and reached a lot with him like map completion and ascended gear, but on the other side you realized that you prefer another race and want to change that.

Light pants.

You pants heretic I actually use three armor sets with pants, one with big skirt, the ascalon one with small skirt and yours. But what I want is normal pants like the light ascalon on male charakters. The same like with medium and cloaks, the krytan is the only non cloak I like. But still thanks for the tip.
