I also wish for more variety in armor skins. I personally love the intricacies of different armor skins and I especially think the medium armor skins are lacking in variety. I am so sick of the trench coats!

As for the ‘skimpy’ armor skins for the light skins, I see what the issue is with previous posters but I don’t understand why it’s becoming such a huge issue. I don’t think what someone chooses to wear, in a fantasy mmo, should affect how you feel about them. This does not reflect how they are as a person or how effectively they can play. But if you choose not to play with them for those reasons then that choice is yours.

If one of you’re complaints is that they’re standing next to you in Lions Arch then I’m not even sure how to address this….

Can’t we all just agree that we want more armor skins across all the races, genders, and classes, skimpy and non-skimpy?

@kmaeropa that is exactly what I been trying to say, but no one seems to listen.

What I am thinking is more like, those skimpy armors already in the game, no more skimpy than those. I like the winged set and human t3 for light and medium. I like the named set and such.

My greatest wish is a sylvari plant medium armor that have same covering as t3 human or the named set. Because on one side I really really really want her beautyful glow to show, and on the other I just think plant armor is the only way to go with sylvari.

It’s not really about being sexy, it is about showing the artistic look and the customization and put into my character in its creation. This goes for sylvari, charr and norn especially, due to skin patterns and glow, fur patterns and color and tattoos. Asura actually got quite interesting skin patterns too. For me humans are the least interesting ones, artisticly. I will however get t3 cultural for my human engineer too, I just like the overall look of that.

Life doesn’t stop being funny just because the dead can’t laugh.

Hmm, I think the winged set would be better on a sylvari, for human, it might be a bit too skimpy to my liking.

People who can argue often offer a good and meaningful conversation about the subject.

I’m not against skimpy armors, but this game has 90% skimpy and 10% normal. It’s a bit too much IMO.

You’ve just completely made up those statistics.

The only available piece of armour that looks ‘skimpy’ for medium armour wearers is the human T3 outfit.

Maybe this might be the case for light armour wearers but that’s not what this thread is about.

I beg to differ

3) I did some checking and have found these numbers for female armors

  • Human Light: 10 Skimpy, 25 Full Coverage, 1 Questionable
  • Human Medium: 2 Skimpy, 34 Full Coverage, 2 Questionable
  • Human Heavy: 4 Skimpy, 31 Full Coverage, 3 Questionable
  • Norn & Sylvari differ by 1-2 per armor class from the numbers on Human
  • Male armor’s differ by 3-7 per armor class

Norn Cultural: 1 Light, 2 Medium, 2 Heavy
Sylvari Cultural: 2 Light, 1 Medium, 1 Heavy
Charr Cultural: 0 Light, 1 Medium, 0 Heavy
Asura Cultural: 0 ALL

As you can clearly see there are a total of 26 “skimpy” vs 123 non-skimpy female armors… I’m no math major here but by my calculations that is 82.5% Non-skimpy and 17.5% skimpy.

If we add in the 4 “super skimpy” (1 Light, 3 Heavy) armors that exist on Males… and the 3 “skimpy” Norn Male cultural…

That brings us to 33 “skimpy” vs 249 non-skimpy… 12% “skimpy” 88% non-skimpy.

The number’s don’t lie, and if you don’t trust my numbers here, feel free to go look at all 282 armor sets in the game and run the numbers for yourself.

Please stop assuming I’m a guy… I am female.

My guess is what he is actually saying is, 90% (here he made up a number) of the females he sees are wearing skimpy armor. Which makes the point, if a large percent of the females you see are wearing skimpy armor which is a small percent of the choices available then that tells you what people want more of.

I would like to see more male armor that exposes more. I chose my tattoos as a Norn, and my skin pattern and glow as a Sylvari and would like to see it.

There are some armor choices in the heavy class that suffice, but for light and medium armor wearers, none.

Do not allow the perfect to be the enemy of the good.

This would be a zero-value statistic even if ANet itself polled it because it’s skewed by circumstance. Many of the skimpy armors in-game are low-level and therefore lack detail. I would hazard that it is likely that even people who like skimpy armor may not wear those because they either “look cheap” or “look bad”. Furthermore, many of the high-end armors for certain race combinations are skimpy, and sometimes people who don’t like skimpy armor use them simply because they “cost a lot” or “have high detail”.

In my opinion, everyone should have what they want. There should be more high-end and low-end covering and skimpy armor sets alike, and players should never feel funneled one way or the other by ANet’s designs.

Mad queen falafide, you can’t compare this game to real life, it’s not the same. The better you learn that the better you’re life would get, but i’d doubt you’d look in reality.
Stop trying to make this game realistic, please stop.
This is about me, wanting options for those who like skimpy armor.

Not about you telling whats realistic and what isn’t because it’s obvious to all of us that this game is no where near realistic.
I don’t know if you’re trying to troll but if you can’t understand the game is not realistic, then you’re really aren’t smart at all.
So just stop trying to convince people this game is realistic, and everything should be as realistic as possible.
We all have our own opinion, if you don’t like it then please feel free to reply about your opinion on skimpy armor, don’t have to go over and over and over and OVER again on how it’s not realistic and talk about back flipping and calling people stupid, and trying to tell people you don’t like people to see your underwear, just stop. If you don’t like people looking at your character’s underwear then simply don’t WEAR it.

I just don’t understand how someone can be so blind with the fact that the game is not realistic at all.

Please read the rest of my post before replying, so you get full understanding of what I’m trying to say.

(The Reasoning)

I understand that there will be some who disagrees and some who do agrees. But there are lots of fully clothed armour types for those who don’t like the skimpy stuff but it would be really nice if there was more skimpy stuff for those who do like it.

(I’m a female myself and me and my friends happen to like revealing armor.)

Oh and I do not see it as objectifying women… some women LIKE to show skin, strong women that are proud of their body and don’t care about the stereotypes of society.

After all, this is an MMO and we should be able to dress our characters the way we want it to be. You shouldn’t hate someone for wanting to look like this, it isn’t your character.

All
we are asking is for more choices for those who do like them. And I’m sure, that there are way more people who prefer and don’t mind them then there are people who dislike them.

Where did somewhat immature and whimsical, but also absolutely essential staples of fantasy fashion go?

This game is lacking Skimpy Armor and we need more. I’m not saying every single piece of gear should be skimpy, I’m saying there should be at least a few more.

I’m not saying that skimpy armor should just be for females, in fact there is a lot of males gaming characters in which their armor is revealing. Such as, Kratos from God of Wars and Leonidas from Spartan total warriors.

Before you say revealing armor is not realistic at all, does gloves and chest pieces with flames or floating cubes realistic?
I’d like to remind you that this game and other MMOs alike, where people carry a zoo in their pockets and fling fire from their fingertips, 200 foot tall boss being destroyed, wrecked and somehow held back by a single 3 foot tall Asura and all evil in the world mysteriously revives itself after time even when proclaimed defeated. There is enough applied magic and game-mechanic-elements that are more an offense to logic and immersion than presumably enchanted jockstrap providing the same protection as slightly less enchanted spiky armored greaves with skulls on their kneecaps.

One point I agree with is various Asian allegedly-free-games using skimpy armor to an atrocious extent as a marketing gimmick, but I’m not asking for that. I ask for choice in the matter.

Please remember to stay on topic and keep up a constructive and positive discussion on these forums.
All
we are asking
is for more choices for those who do like them.
I mean lets be honest here, there is probably way more to those that don’t mind them and like them then there are those that do not like them. When describe female characters in the world of FAN ARTS, you’d see that most of them are in more skin revealing armor. Most of female fan arts are in revealing armor! why is that? because it just appeal to people more, not just to male but also to female.
It just looks good and sexy, even females are willing to cosplay that way and enter competition that way because it just looks sexy.

I am a famale, and I don’t really care too much about the revealing of skin or armor, ( that makes it sound like I am a harlot, which I am not )

Revealing clothing for any gender has been used for years, Marvel and DC do it all the time, as well as any story, where you’d see some goddess who barely has any clothes on, it’s what attracts people.

If you don’t like revealing clothing on your character then don’t wear it.

I don’t like when people sag their pants in real life, but it’s not my business so I carry on with whatever it is that I was doing.

If you don’t like the way some characters are dressed then that’s that. Anet won’t fix it unless thousands and thousands, and perhaps even a million, people complain about it.

Sorry you feel this way but I highly doubt anyone will support this, except a few.

This is about me, wanting options for those who like skimpy armor.

Listen darling, its really not that difficult to understand my point. Anyone understands that this is a fantasy game, BUT:

  • There are rules regarding how clothing works
  • Not everyone agrees about skimpy clothing

So just stop trying to convince people this game is realistic, and everything should be as realistic as possible.

Of course anyone actually reading my replies knows that’s not the point I was making. I was criticizing dumb clothing designs that use their dumb design as an excuse to show more skin. Such as bras that magically float on top of brests, without anything to hold them in place. Even in fantasy some designs are dumb. And my points are valid.

Here’s what I think is the problem. You don’t like people disagreeing with you. So you make the same topic countless times, copy pasting the exact same text into it, which is against forum rules. But not only that, you seem to be afraid to engage in discussion. Well then what are you doing on a forum? Just send Anet a letter if you are not interested in other people’s opinions. But if you are going to post on a forum, you can expect people to agree and disagree with you.

We all have our own opinion, if you don’t like it then please feel free to reply about your opinion on skimpy armor, don’t have to go over and over and over and OVER again on how it’s not realistic and talk about back flipping and calling people stupid, and trying to tell people you don’t like people to see your underwear, just stop. If you don’t like people looking at your character’s underwear then simply don’t WEAR it.

Its ironic how you accuse me of not reading your posts, when this exact quote illustrates that even after repeating my point several times, you still can’t wrap your head around what I was really saying. Well unless you are purposely portraying a false representation of my opinion, but I give you the benefit of the doubt.

@Blur
I think those are exceptional examples from Guild Wars 1. Shows just the right amount of skin and excellent detail as well. I do feel like some of the light armors look somewhat exaggerated, like being outrageous looking to be outrageous looking. I digress.

Anyways, my favorite medium set is the Norn Tier 3 Cultural, just the right amount of skin exposing while also providing great coverage and being so kitten cool looking. I don’t have much to room to speak in the coverage department since I make my Norn Ranger walk around in beachwear sometimes (pictured below). I’d suggest if you want some skimpiness in your medium armors, try mixing and matching for now. Sometimes on the sets with the skirts, the leggings will actually just be underwear of sorts.

You know, I was going to say there should be more choices for everyone, but the anti-skimpy armour crowd is far and away more offensive than the pro-skimpy crowd has been.

To put it simply, because it seems most of you don’t like big words (and the few who do have been using them poorly); the pro-choice group has been generally polite, whereas the anti-choice crowd has been demanding and belittling.

That alone settles it for me – the bigots have lost their rights to dictate for everyone in the real world (thank the deity I don’t believe in), they should have no such right in a game.

Bring on the skimpy armour! (I personally won’t wear it, but I will fight to the death for your right to wear it.)

Extra bonus points if you can name – without google – who I’m paraphrasing there.

The one to the right has a nice design and nice details (also love the color).
Though I would prefer if it had a little longer skirt.

Something else I just thought of…A lot of the armor sets in Guild Wars 1 were very form fitting. I think a problem may not just come from the amount of skin showing but also how form fitting some of the armor sets are. I would also suggest that the armor doesn’t necessarily have to show skin but at least be form fitting to show that sexual appeal without offending anyone.

But if the issue is with wanting to show fur, tattoos, or sylvari glows then I’m not sure of a common ground for this. More nudediness I suppose?

I see nothing wrong in wanting to expose fur patterns and Sylvari glow…nor do I find it embarrassing and offensive. Plants and fur…quite alright. Perhaps expanding cultural armors for these races would solve the problem? Because I can only see Sylvari in plant-like armor (most fitting).
As for Humans and Norn…I think female Norn have quite a laaaarge variety of revealing armor…as well as female Humans…and it can be offensive towards certain people.
As kmaeropa said, GW1 armors were very form fitting and weren’t offensive nor were they tasteless. The only armor set which bugged me a lot was the Necro tattoo set, since she was in nothing else but underwear with tattoos (but so was the male). So I can freely say that GW1 armor sets were more than well balanced.

I demand less revealing clothing

Warriors are those who choose to stand between their enemy and all that he loves or hold sacred

Wow, every one of AshBenzo’s posts on these forums is about skimpy clothing.
Look, Ash, even though you say you’re a woman and see nothing wrong with skimpy clothing in games, it doesn’t make it right.
No matter what you say, this kind of stuff has been proven to reinforce bad gender stereotypes and puts back the treatment of female gamers to somewhere around the Victorian era.
You’ll get a lot of male support for such topics, as a lot of young men want to stare at almost-naked ladies without fear of recrimination.
It really IS objectifying women, no matter what you think.
