Guild Wars 2

It seems – looking at hot with 2 new armors – anet is really focusing on releasing outfits rather than armors…

I think this is super annoying – i can understand them trying to make money and i dont have an issue with releasing cosmetics in the gem store – but PLEASE make more modular armor sets and less of these stupid outfits.

Outfits take imo any fun or individuality out of armors and that is certainly not what gw2 is about. I cant understand why they simply bring the same stuff out as armors instead of outfits?

Are they afreaid they will sell less? Cause I very much doubt thats true – at least i personally will never buy an outfit for this exact reason: I cant alter it in any way and make it my own so i have zero interestg even if they are looking good (what they are mostly not)…

so please anet – more armors – paid or unpaid – and less outfits

It’s not cause they sell less, quite the opposite really. They sell more.

Problem? More work.

So instead, they make outfits cause it is less work, for pretty much the same profit. The easy way out basically.

Armor skins take way more time to make cause they have to fit all those pieces to each race and make sure they don’t clip/match up with other armors as well. While an outfit is one single piece that they don’t have to worry about it clipping or matching with other armor pieces.

So less work, for same profit. Instead of quality stuff, they’d rather just do easy stuff.

Ironically, most outfits still have clipping issues with arms / weapons / etc… :P This is why I only have the Ninja one, it looks nice on my Sylvari. Most outfits push my side weapons far from my body and they clip through my arms, it makes me sick…

i see that point but i think
not every armor has to fit with every other armor piece perfectly
bring out more individual armor pieces such as lawless for example which will be less clipping problems/easier to fit and 6×1 means probably also more profit than 1×6
rather less armors but armors instead of dozens of outfits

i guess the only thing people can do is speak with their wallets and not buy them
