Guild Wars 2

Forgive me if this topic already exists somewhere, but I looked around and used the search function. It seems a bit buggy though. The closest I am aware of was a thread about Outfits, but I can’t find it now.

What kind of new armor does everyone want to see, especially things themed to the Maguuma Jungle that might not get a chance in another situation? Any pieces you want to finish a look you have in mind, that doesn’t require a whole set?

I want to see more stuff like the Sylvari cultural armor. Optimally, I’d love to see cultural armor as a whole expanded at some point, but I figured with this expansion’s theme, it’s the best chance to get stuff with an explicit Sylvari look.

One of the reasons I made a Sylvari when the game launched was because of their design, and that included their armor. I thought the idea of a plant race whose outfits were essentially part of themselves was pretty neat. I didn’t initially really think about the fact that it would have to be limited to cultural armor though. It’s really disappointing to me, because it severely limits the number of options I have. As it is, I feel like I only have one choice, because my Sylvari only has access to Light Armor, and each of the Light Armor sets has at least one thing that just isn’t my style, so I’ve mixed and matched from all of them the create the “one” set I like, and it’s not perfectly optimal.

I’m not asking for Arena.net to psychically know my particular preferences and introduce that, but just a few more options would be really cool. While I don’t have a problem with the race wearing other armor (and made one set I really liked myself), I feel like them wearing more plant growths is too iconic to the race to just leave as a handful of launch sets never to touch again, and right now is a good time for it.
