I saw this logging in and it was the first time in a while I was freaking out and trying to log in. I’ve been waiting for a pair of pink backwings for my main.
Once I log in though I find out that it’s glider only and now I’m crushed…
Why anet can’t you make a pair of pink backpack wings to go along with that glider skin?

That’s a strange way to put it. As a character, you only have one sex. In the end, you don’t have less choices than anyone else.
And yes, an asura should be able to look cute, the same way a human, norn, sylvari, charr, skritt, hylek, grawl or even mursaat should also be able to look cute.
There’s just no way of giving more options, unless they take away potential future options. It’s always a binary choice, and if one fits better than the other, it will most likely be taken.
And I disagree with how gendered gw2 is. I think all outfits/armor should be unisexed. Human, charr, slyvari, norn. If someone wants to wear a dress, they should be allowed to even if they’re male or female, charr or human. Part of this game is playing how you want to play. It was in one of the first videos anet put out for guild wars 2. If I want to play a cross dressing norn I should be allowed that option BUT as they seem to either gender everything (in the case of the humonids) or gender NOTHING (in the case of charr and asura though they prodomantly get the male skin of the humonid outfits moved over) they can’t even do that right.
There are times I want my human to be in a fancy tux but since the outfit on females is a dress I don’t get that option and that in itself frustrates me. I hate the fact that the noble outfit on an asuran female IS a tux and not a cute dress (I raged for MONTHS at that, I was looking forward to a cute dress). I dislike the fact that the Lich outfit has nipple clips on asuran females. What art director allowed that? Having a low cut hanging shirt was WORSE then nipple clips on a female asuran how?
Now, that’s only a matter of opinion. I find most armor sets to look very good on my asura females. As a matter of fact, I find most “female human” versions to look hideous. If I had those versions available instead of what we have now, I would be very upset.
Since you’re already being appeased it would not bother you if they released a few more skirts then for those of us who want other options then what is given to us. I don’t mind my humans/slyvari/norn’s options. If they want to look normal, they can, if they want to look like they just slapped on a swim suit and called it good, they can. If they want to look like they are a high noble, that option is also given to them. They have plenty of options to choose from here (though one can argue medium and the kitten coats but that’s for another forum topic) BUT if you’re an asura or a charr your options are severely limited. If you LIKE what’s being given you’re great! If you don’t….
I know I’m not the only one in my guild that wants more skirts.
Made up statistics are not pertinent.
Pretty safe to say 30-40% of the userbase is at least female (if not more). If you take in account the females who don’t vs the males that wouldn’t mind more skirts I’d say it evens out. The whole percentages was based off of someone’s claim that Anet only goes for the majority (which isn’t bad but if you’re ignoring nearly half the userbase for that majority you’re loosing a good untapped market here and assuming majority=male which = kittenty mc kitten kitten outfits)
Unisex armor isn’t designed for males specifically. It’s designed for flat-chested creatures.
They should rethink their design on regular humonid females then. There is more to femininity then BOOBS and BUTT. If they can’t figure that out then anet may want to think about getting designers who CAN do that. Cabalist on humonids is cute but doesn’t focus to much on the chest/butt area.
“Lazy design” allows for an overall much larger variety of armor available. Besides, if each race had their own custom design for each set of armor (which would take 5 times more resources each, and so 5 times the development time), I can guarantee you players would ask to make them available for all anyway.
LOL and here is the Quantity verse Quality argument. I would much rather have 1 set of GOOD armor designed for all the races then 10-15 sets of crap armor (which I, as an asura main, am currently getting). If all you keep getting offered is crap then why the hell are you going to continue paying for it? There is a reason a lot of the female asura I see running around are in TA. If ONE armor set is the prevelent set the designers who are trying to make money should step back and ask why and how can we replicate this to our advantage?
As of right now, players can wear armor from other races except for cultural sets. For example, a charr can wear Inquest gear, and an asura can wear Flame Legion gear.
They still get the MALE versions moved over. If I want nipple clips/nipple pasties/belts over my bust on my asura I have a few armors to choose from (including 1-3 in the cash shop for purchuse). Probably more armors to choose from for that then just wanting a skirt on my asura (I would have to seriously look to see how many do that on her, I know 3 off the top of my head).
I still think the best option would be unisex armor design for all races, and release new unisex armor sets with the skimpy human female design themes. That way, everyone can enjoy butterflies or no butterflies on their carapace armor.
that I can agree to. I also don’t like the fact that male humonids also don’t have many skirts/dresses to choose from. A big part of guild wars 2 is making your character look the way you want. The more options and choices the better. If you want a male norn in a frilly dress and be called the tooth fairy, why the hell not? After all it’s suppose to be how YOU want to play.
Haven’t been able to post the past few days.
To the person who states they ‘cater to the majority and the majority is male’ and ‘some females don’t want frilly stuff’ excludes the fact that some males want frilly cute things in this.
And 30-40% MAYBE a minority but it’s still a BIG minority of players Anet is completely ignoring with their lack of skirts. I’m not saying SKIRTS ALL THE TIME NOW. I’m stating we need more OPTIONS (more then 3-7 if you include outfits). Unisexing shouldn’t default to male. That ‘Asura don’t think about sexuality as we do’ doesn’t excuse the constant male look move over. They are their own race and have their own looks. If it wasn’t just lazy design on their part the Asura would have a completely different look then just ‘male skin move over’. Same can be said about Charr.
Even if you’re happy with what you’ve got now, doesn’t negate that others are VERY unhappy. Why not cater to the ones who are asking for something different since the others have what they need anyway? It’s not going to hurt/kill to give more skirts as options for charr/asura. I may think that a charr in a dress maybe weird looking but SOMEONE out there will enjoy that option.
Ignoring the 30-40% playerbase completely is an untaped market and stupid. It maybe a minority, as I stated above, but it’s a BIG minority. There are more people who want more skirts then you give credit for, male or female in real life.
The humonoid creatures have LOTS to choose from (mind you medium has a lot of UGLY coats but that’s a discussion for another post). You can be stripperella or you can look like you’d actually survive in a battle.
Why can’t we have more options for Asura and Charr like that? (I’m not stating I want stripperella Asura or charr, we have the Lich outfit for that, hello nipple clips just MORE options then what we’re being force fed).
Unisexing should NOT automatically assume male. Like a poster above stated. Assuming such belittles the femininity part of our fashion. Males can wear dresses and skirts just as much as females, it’s our society’s rules that keep that from being so openly practiced here in the US.
And I said from time to time moving over the female version of the outfit because they almost ALWAYS seem to default on the male. We have plenty of masculine looking options for now. We need more feminine. If the asura do not care what they wear then why is it such a big deal?
And the boob argument. Little girls wear dresses. So can Asura. It’s not going to hurt anybody by giving a few options for frilly skirts (since we have an overabundance of masculine options anyway). The cabalist set would have looked amazing on Asura if they were given the female human look to it instead of the tribal crap that was given to us. They could have given us the butterflys (I outright raged when I saw that I couldn’t have the butterfly shoulders on my asura mesmer). There is more to femininity then accenting breasts and hips.
If they can’t move over a female outfit without changing the breast area to fit correctly then they need to rethink about how they’re designing female outfits around breasts. They also have to move and ajust for the male armor to fit it to charr asura. They can take the extra time and alter the female top.
Equality means OPTIONS based on preference, not gender. I want more then 3 skirts for my asura. I have plenty of pants and pant/skirts to cough at but if I want a dress? I have 3 armor sets and ONE outfit (the wintersday). Considering how many pants we have and how FEW we have for asura that needs to change for options sake.
And Gimli there are options if your HUMONIOD. If you’re asura or charr your options are severely almost comically limited. You obviously haven’t paid attention to what the charr/asura wear with that comment. You’ll notice a lot of asura wear TA because it’s one of the only options for asura when it comes to skirts.
I want my asura to have cute frilly stuff. I wanted the butterfly shoulders but since asura get male only (and for some odd reason males don’t want a butterfly on their shoulder) so I will never see that armor set.
edit: if we can have characters named Naruto kicks kitten as a name lore isn’t nearly as much of a problem as you think.
winged, TA dungeon armor, Arah Dungeon armor are all full out dresses.
It’s still very tiny compared to all the pants/pantskirts we have an option of.
I just saw a very lovely dataminded outfit that’ll be coming out. I was super excited about it…
…till they got to the asura.
I just want to cry that this seems to be flying OVER anet’s head. If you must only move one of the skin looks/outfits over to asura/charr PICK the female every once and a while.
Not male NEARLY EVERY TIME. I’m tired of not being represented as an option for asura.
Seriously stop it. I’m tired of having only male options. If you’re going to Unisex EVERYTHING for charr and asura then at least unisex the female version. I’m TIRED of only having the male options (for major example is the Carapace outfit, I LOVE the butterflies for shoulder armor BUT because I’m an asura I only get male stuff.
If Asura/charr don’t care what type of armor they’re wearing then Unisex the female version too (or Choose the female version instead of the male to move over). I’m tired of pants or pant/skirts. I want dresses and other lovely things.
If them being male/female DIDN’T matter their swimsuits/undergarments would not be covering what they do on the females so give us options.
I’m just getting really tired of this. You know how many actual dresses Asura have options to? Like 3 for armor skins.
3.
Out of HOW MANY armor skins? It’s seriously lacking.
Oh you like the Charr? So do I!
And skins you like too? Nice!
Ever tryed that lich outfit in the gemstore? (GEMSTORE! YOU WOULD HAVE TO PAY ~8 BUCKS/ 90 GOLD FOR IT!!!)
Well…just don’t. Ever. It will riun the way you look at this game. It is so badly made for Charr that thought it was some kind of joke. I literally laught out loud when I saw what they did.
On a female asuran the Lich outfit has nipple clips. NIPPLE CLIPS. I’m sorry but she should have had a better shirt then that. That was a time when unisexing didn’t work as well as they wanted. A guild member actually had a conversation with a Dev about that Lich outfit and her 8 year old daughter with asurans. They supposeity don’t have anything YET female asuran underwear/swimsuit is NOT just swimming trunks. This same logic goes for Charr. IF they didn’t have private parts up there to cover then they wouldn’t be wearing undergarments/swimming suits that COVER said stuff.
This all screams lazy on anet’s part.
My Charr currently has Vigil armor because I can’t find anything else in game I really like for her. I hate super spikey stuff (reminds me of assassins in gw1). Looking at the new armor sets the heavy on charr isn’t THAT horrible. I wouldn’t be using those shoulder guards if they paid me to though.
I agree. If they’re going to keep adding currencies to the game they need to be adding them to the wallet system.
I also think they’re adding way to many currencies to the game as it is. USE the ones that you have already.
my only complaint is that it should have flashed ‘You got Served’ on the screen too.
Other then that it was hilarious. What my guild found out is that it only happens to one at a time. If two try, if the instance leader is one of them, it happens to them. It would have been funnier if it happened to all.
Asura have 2 skirts in game. They need more! Seriously.
I do love the new armor set that has been released on humanoid creatures. It’s very pretty and I think a few of my characters will have pieces of it.
What I don’t like is the unisexing of EVERYTHING charr and asura get. If you want pant/skirts for anything, you’re in luck! If you want a SKIRT for either creature you’re choices are HUGELY limited.
And before someone comes in claiming asura are only academic and don’t care about clothing. Being a scientist doesn’t mean you don’t want pants/skirts/pant-skirts. It’s not an either or thing. Tons of scientists go to their JOBS wearing dresses and skirts and it’s not a big deal so why does it seem to be a huge deal here?
I want my asura to wear dresses. I have 3 options for her in that regard (two armors and an outfit). That shouldn’t have to be how it is. Enough unisexing. You can make feminine outfits for asura without resorting to sexy. Look at TA, look at wintersday, look at the winged armor.
This applys to charr as well and the infamous tail clipping and horn clipping that happens to that race.
It’s lazy, it’s rushed, and it’s kittening off a bunch of the player base. Take the time and develop NON-UNISEXED armor for both these races. Just because the artists/developers of these armors want to cut corners here doesn’t mean they SHOULD. It’s noticeable and it’s frustrating. I’m tired of this being ignored.
Guild wars 2 claimed that they built this game early on so we could play it the way WE want to play it. I want my asura to be tiny and cute and fluffy. I don’t have much to work with in that regard and that’s not right considering how many outfits/armors there are in the game to choose from.
I agree. If you have it apart of a collection system the events should work fully.
Cantha was my favorite place in gw1 and if it wasn’t for the fact that most sellers hung out at Elona I would have spent most of my time there.
I would LOVE to see Cantha return to us in GW2. I’ve read that they don’t want which is frustrating and sad for us who love the whole area and style.
But again Asuran and Charr looked NOTHING like T3 and yet they got switched. That was the best looking armor, in my opinion, in game for Asurans.
It’s frustrating as someone who’s main is a female asuran.
If you can give both genders pants/skirt or pants you can at least give a few more SKIRT options for both genders then.
I love these skins. Finally found my sword skin. I’d be getting the staff too but I’m really close to my bifrost atm so no point with that.
The daggers are gorgeous and so is the pistol. Clean, simplish, and beautiful.
I like the idea of account-wide dyes, and to add to your “hairstyle” ideas… I think a cool addition to the Gem Shop would be to add an account bound “Hairstylist” that can be conjured (with unlimited uses) and this stylist would have all hairstyles, plus the new ones added in the makeover kit (plus colors). They could sell this for say…800-1000 gems and each use costs a certain amount to use. Maybe 1 gold per use. For an indecisive person like myself, I’m constantly wanting to change my character’s appearance…I would DEFINITELY buy something like this.
This already exists. It’s not in the gem store through, it’s in the Black Lion Chests and sold on the TP.
Really? I didn’t know this. I’ve just recently come back to the game. They must’ve added it while I was gone because I don’t remember it.
super rare and crazy expensive. It was introduced at the first wintersday as a super rare drop from the cash shop wintersday gifts.
A few of us in my guild in game have been recently talking about how female light armor asurans NEED skirt options, not always pants/skirt or pants.
Give us this please. With my main being an Asuran and having one of the ONLY looks of armor I actually liked in game removed from game it’s gotten me very frustrated (mind you the original flamekissed on asuran females had pant skirts but I didn’t mind it on that, it was decent looking).
Pant/skirts everywhere ._.
I would like a few more armor sets besides TA dungeon armor for Asuran light armor females to wear skirt/dress.
If female heavies can wear skirts and have bare middrifts for no logical reason then the light armors who aren’t usually FRONT LINE and could logically wear stuff like that more then their heavy counterparts should have more options.
Flamewrath=skirt bare middrift
flamekissed=bare middrift.
If I hadn’t already asked for my gems back I would ask for them again.
I honestly want a transmutation splitter to get this stuff off my asurian but I don’t have anything to change it from.
What is with Anet and keeping actual SKIRTS off of light armor asurians.
What I don’t get is why they changed the armor skins that had NOTHING to do with the T3 culture armor (I’m looking at Asurian and Charr).
Asurians have, in my opinion, very FEW armor choices and the first flamekissed was 1 of 3 armors that I actually LIKED in game for them. Now it’s gone. Asurians and Charr didn’t look at all like human T3 so why did they get changed?
I also don’t understand Anet’s issue with putting female asurians in actual skirts and not skirt/pants or pants. There is only 1 set of armor where I’m fairly certain it’s an actual skirt/dress and not skirt/pants and that’s the dungeon armor for TA for light armor.
Races: Tengu, Centar
Places: Cantha and Kourna are obvious choices
Professions: Ritulist and Dervish (I love rits)
Expansion on the current classes as well (more skills/elites and possibly more weapon choices coming from at least the dervs weapon)
I know it’s gonna be a while but that’s what I want/see happening (Or at least HOPE with Cantha. It was my favorite of the three original games).
I liked how they did it at Wintersday though. They gave everyone a chance at buying the weapon skins outside of the RIG if they wanted. I’m guessing it didn’t sell well and Anet took that as a bad example.
Honestly though those skins for weapons were crap. They were bulky and ugly and just ewww. I’m guessing that has more to do with the fact they didn’t sell well then putting them directly in the cash shop. I have two of those skins from the RIG boxes I got and I hate them and wish I could have sold them on the TP to someone who actually wants them. Now if they had done the quality of skins from Halloween for Wintersday I’m 100% that they would have made out like a bandit with those sales. The halloween skins look awesome all year round and are fairly neutral in color scheme so it doesn’t clash with the armor in terms of color the person is wearing. The bulky wooden green/red wasn’t going to sell well for most people.
I suggest that maybe they go back to the Wintersday idea for this event: Have the skins in the RIG item BUT also purchasable for 400gems directly. It would appease both the crowds of people and as long as they don’t look ANYTHING like the wintersday gem skins we should be good!
Last night around 8:20-8:30 cst Claw of Jormag event happened but it glitched out midway and still sits glitched out on blackgate server.
First round of the battle went fine: He raised his ice shield, we took it down, and then rushed him of course causing him to fly up for a bit.
After he landed though he was glitched out. He never rose his ice shield and never moved from the spot till his AOE death which didn’t acknowlage itself nor spawn a chest meaning that the area still sits with an empty life bar and cannons going off.
