Guild Wars 2

Everyone is doing a BEAUTIFUL job of missing both the part where I said OPTIONAL as well as saying that there are plenty of armors that are more than covering.
I don’t expect you to read every word everyone posts but do try and read what I’ve said before assuming I’m a SJW. You’re embarrassing yourself.

I’m gonna just start quoting myself here. I’ve got an exam and I’m a bit tired.

Mind showing me where I said there are more revealing armors than non? I’m not saying what I think you think I’m saying :P

All I’m suggesting is for the ability to turn revealing clothes into less revealing ones. I’d also actually be more than fine with the opposite being added too; more options are GOOD!

serenke.4806:

Or maybe you could take your pick of the dozens of trench coats that are available for medium armor.

Or you could pick any of the dozens of heavy leg armor that is fully covered.

There are those (which are what I am running with for the most part) but… I mean… are more options a bad thing? Why not have more variety to choose from?

Saphykun.3206:

But I’m pleased with the variety of armors and modesty (or lack thereof) in the GW2 wardrobe. Sometimes it’s nice to run around baring your midriffs ^^

On the other hand (and where the OP and I may differ), I’d like to see more revealing armor for male characters, like you know, Lich-level revealing. I would totally drop cash for it

Heh, I’m actually okay with revealing armor (which is why I stressed the optional bit so much). I don’t mind seeing it. Even male armor too… to each their own and if you want male eye-candy go for it! I just don’t see why my female characters can’t put on some pants under an armored thong :P

Yes there is a huge list of clothes which aren’t revealing in the slightest. But are there any that look like Arah’s armor? The Assassin’s armor? No.

Arena Net did a lot better than most other companies do with balancing the armor selection between revealing and modesty. I would just love to see variants for existing armors with small alterations or layers added.

So we’ve probably all seen multiple sets of armors which are… well, you’d expect to see them on a street corner rather than a battlefield. That’s fine by me; if you play a character and want hulking abs shown or lady/manly bits almost showing its up to you. What I, personally, would like to see is the ability to make the armors slightly less revealing.

Let’s take some examples!

Tier 3 human cultural armor (Assassin’s Armor):
The chest piece has a fair bit of underboob showing. I’m not opposed to having that but I’d love to see a leather worker be able to add a little bit of material to cover that up. Maybe just have the bottom moved a little bit down? Again, completely optional, only effects your character if you choose to do that!

Arah Dungeon Leggings
As with the above its a lovely piece of armor — one of my favorites, truth be told! The one thing that gets me is that the female variant has a TON of pelvis showing… to the point where I think it’d be marked NSFW in most jobs. Again, fine if you want that, but I’d love a variant added (crafted by an armorsmith?) that has, say, some chain-mail pants like the male one.

I feel I can’t say this enough but this would be optional and no one would be forced into having a different armor skin than the one you want. It would also give those of us who aren’t 14 year old boys more good armor choices (yes that’s a joke. Take is as one. :P) I’m no artist/modeler but what I’m thinking of would be minor changes that shouldn’t take too long to design and wouldn’t alter the general feel of the armor pieces. This also wouldn’t just be some kind of texture/model replacement mod. This would allow you to show off your characters personality better whilst allowing others to do the same.

Alright. I main warrior and I have to say that healing sig. needs to be changed. The passive IS too strong. Please read what the changes are before you freak out. Immunity to conditions (I’ve played rev. on the closed beta) is as good as you’d hope. Give it 4-10 seconds of resistance and make the burst worthwhile. It’ll still be the best heal in the game, promise. Don’t forget that conditions are getting a fairly large buff.

Also warriors right off the bat were DPS powerhouses. Hammer and mace were not viable but Bulls → Frenzy → Hundred Blades could make any class cry. Saying they were pathetic is forgetting a glorious week or so of popping everyone who didn’t dodge or have stability up already.

I gotta agree, I feel karma in it’s current state isn’t actually as useful as it should be. Except for legendary weapons and temple armor I’ve never felt the need to stockpile karma. I’m sure someone will point out some use I’m forgetting but I for one add my support to this!
