Guild Wars 2

Yep, this was common feedback when the game came first came out. Players asked for less trenchcoats, buttcapes and skirts. Anet actually responded but said it might be a while because it takes some time to create new armor/outfits. Yet, we still get trench coats, buttcapes and skirts.
I would kill for some simple armors, like the plain tank top some of the circus castaways wear. I think Anet only likes armor that has 700 pounds of bedazzling added to it, though. Like the new WvW armor sets, ugh, what an eyesore.

Hey, this is still happening, hooray! Only during personal story cutscenes. Why? Doesn’t ever disconnect in any other part of the game. It’s such fun to slog through unskippable dialogue and fight alongside slow, useless companions and then disconnect at the end of the instance.
Funny part is, something similar happened to me in a story quest while playing Elder Scrolls Online (it has only happened once there, as opposed to the many, many times in GW2), but in ESO, I logged back in and I was right back where I was in the story! I didn’t have to redo anything.

Super Adventure Mount Skins Anet, please, thank you! You have 11 months to get them done.
So many great Super Adventure choices for mounts! I want to ride a bee-dog, turtle, snake, hillbilly and maybe an angry cloud.

Anet probably wants to add some giant shoulders, a single glove and some glowing, bedazzled spikes to those outfits before giving them to players.

Hey look! A bug from nearly a year ago, and it still happens! Happened to me just now, he’s worked before, but this time he did nothing.
Please, for the next expansion, if you must make long story instances, at least let us save some progress during them. Having to redo an entire story section because they are so terribly buggy is annoying and just makes me want to quit rather than do everything again.
Just when I start to think about playing Guild Wars 2 again, I’m reminded of why I stopped playing as much.

Players have been asking since the start of the game for less butt capes, trench coats, skirts, etc. but they just keep pumping it out. A new outfit/armor is out? Oh, it has a butt cape, giant shoulders, mismatched gloves and is overly busy for the sake of being busy. hooray.
I would love something simple. How about some of those castaway clothes from Ember Bay? A simple tank top, shorts or pants, no gloves, no shoulders, please, thank you.

The moving pieces are a neat idea, but I really don’t like the design. I much prefer a simpler look. Giant shoulders and spikes everywhere? I might have liked that 10-15 years ago.
Of course, it doesn’t really matter since it’s for raiders only and it’s been forever since I cared about raiding in mmos.

Can there be a woodpecker version for Sylvari?
:)

Yeah, it does.

They try to hide it with a little scarf, but the character is still pretty clearly bald. I remember this being an issue in mmos, like 10 years ago. The fact that a modern triple-A mmo still has this problem is frankly pretty embarrassing.
Shame, it’s a nice hat.

Same here, I wanted there to be an option to kick her out of the guild. Maybe it’s not too late to recruit the little Norn girl from Eir’s memorial.

I would have probably bought every outfit by now if:
Head, shoulders, gloves and boots could be removed (when applicable) and added to armor wardrobe
The chest and legs were kept together as one piece, but also added to the armor wardrobe for all weights
All other head, shoulder, glove and boot armor pieces could be mix and matched onto the outfit chest/legs piece.

I just don’t like how outfits offer so very little in customization options. I have regretted every single outfit I have bought.
Hopefully if Guild Wars 3 is ever made, the game engine doesn’t have so many goofy limitations.

Happened again yesterday. During the long, boring slog that is Victory or Death. Hooray.
Tried it again today, and it just stops at the airship parts. Staring at the giants, nobody says or does anything. Nice. So annoying that this only happens during some sort of cutscene for the personal story and only randomly happens. I don’t think Anet even looks at this forum section. It’s shocking how few dev responses there are.

There’s just too many factors contributing to its rarity. It only drops from a certain mob, that mob is only visible if you’ve trained up to a certain mastery level, that mob only appears in a select few locations, you only have 1 chance per location to potentially loot the skin, and then of course the drop rate is ridiculously low. It just makes it pointless to even bother trying.

How about having treasure mushrooms drop an invisible scrap of cloth when killed. Then, you can turn in maybe 500 of those and trade for an account bound invisible skin. I think after killing 500 and one still hasn’t dropped, that’s enough grinding for a consolation prize. Make it account bound so you can’t just sell the skin. If you want to sell the skin, you still have to hope for a drop.

Or just stick them in the gem store, I’ll buy all three. (Unless the price is just goofy.)
Or, make it a toggle, like it should have been in the first place.

It really annoys me that this wasn’t just a toggle like gloves and shoulders. And the completely absurd rarity of the drops makes them not even worth bothering trying to farm them. They’ll never drop for me, much less three times to get them for all armor weights.
Just another thing in the game that should be nice and fun, but only makes me not like Anet.

Quality over quantity. I’d rather have a couple armor sets instead of a dozen outfits. Also, that nine months time frame is ridiculous. Some part of the process is taking longer than it should.
And, 30 sets? Human, Sylvari and Norn can use basically the same set. Asura and Charr don’t need different sets for male and female. There, I just reduced it to 12 sets. Nine, if you have Human, Sylvari and Norn use the same set for male and female because, why not?
Of course making armor is hard and takes time. If it is too much of a hassle, then maybe that is something that should have been discussed while developing a game where a primary part of endgame is cosmetics.

Yeah, this gets said a lot, but it needs to be constantly repeated to ANet. Although, I don’t think they’ll ever stop with outfits.
I would have bought so many outfits if they were armors, but because I can’t just use their individual pieces, I haven’t.
I’ve bought two outfits, and honestly, I regret it. Meanwhile I still use my Kryta and Aetherblade and Viper armor pieces quite often.
At the very least, I’d like to be able to hide outfit gloves, shoulders and boots.
Or maybe, if the chest and leggings need to be kept together, allow us to swap head, glove, shoulders and boots between outfits and use armor pieces in those slots too.

CMM.6712:

The Sims is a few doors down, maybe that would suit ya better?

You joke, but I would be all over a Guild Wars 2 Sims. Build a house in Divinity’s Reach, invite Destiny’s Edge over, try to drown Logan in the pool. It’d be great!

I was just thinking the other day, how I would like to have some shorts in this game. I think the game could desperately use some more simple armor designs. Or, you know, just bring back all those great town clothes that have just been forgotten about it.

I think we have enough armor with random junk all over it, mismatched gloves, butt capes, asymmetrical sleeves, and shoulder pieces only covering one shoulder. I think my taste in armor is just in a complete opposite direction from gw2’s armor designers.

But, yeah, some nice simple shorts would be great.

I don’t know how possible it would be, but it would be nice if every hairstyle could get a second dye channel for the tips/roots or something. I know some Asura hairs do this, so I’d like to see it for every hairstyle.

Can I buy pvp and raid rewards with karma, too? Because those are really boring for me.

I’ve been having this same thing happen recently as well. Only happens during the talking cutscenes of the personal story. Never anywhere else in the game. Sometimes the cutscenes will run fine, sometimes I get booted to the character select screen. I agree that it is annoying when it happens in particularly long and tedious quests.

I still hate the new sword attack animations. I never had much of a problem with the old ones. The new look honestly makes me not even want to play my ranger.

I came back for Super Adventure Box but besides that, haven’t really played since sometime last year. I keep checking back, but, no content except raids? Ha, no thanks.

This is something that should have been obvious when looking at the first design drawings of this armor.

Am I remembering incorrectly? I am almost positive that when the game first came out, the forums asked for less butt capes and less trench coats. And I am also almost positive there was a dev response along the lines of “okay, but armor takes time to make”
So, three years later, and we are still getting butt capes and trench coats. Ugh. Sometimes, I really wonder about whoever is in charge of approving armor designs.

Not happy at all with how it looks with my Sylvari ranger. Slow and boring.
I guess it’s a better change for giant Norns and Charr, but I really hate it.

I realize most don’t feel the same way, so nothing much I can do.

I guess I’m in the minority but I really like the current sword attacks. I didn’t mind the root too much and it was never really a problem for me.

That new animation looks terrible. Really bad.

Thanks, although I was not as annoyed by this as some players, my decision on whether or not to buy HoT was going to be based on how Anet handled this. Coming from another game where devs are constantly talking with and interacting with the players, I found the silence of the last few days really confusing. But I’m glad you’ve handled it and now I’m off to buy the Ultimate version.

…now about SAB…
:P

Nice, I can’t wait to use them on my shield/kit engineer!

Oh, wait…

Yeah, this is such a great holiday story. So we can either keep the ornaments for ourselves or destroy them? Sorry orphans, go join a zerg champ train if you want to be able to afford some food.

What a great backpack!
Too bad I’ll never see it thanks to my hobosacks and shield.
:(

I would like to see more actual armor sets instead of outfits.

Yeah, this would have been a buy except the set is a disappointment for reasons that others have already mentioned. It’s an outfit, ugh. The female version is ridiculous, and in my opinion, vastly inferior to the male version (again ), and it removes Charr tails! Really disappointing.

Any chance of this ever getting worked on? The pvp excuse is completely ridiculous.

I was planning on buying gems so I could get two more armor sets and a pack of total makeover kits. It was mainly for a new alt I created a few weeks ago and had stopped leveling to be able to check out the new leveling system with this patch.
Now, nope not buying those gems. I’m sure my $30 doesn’t really matter that much but it is now going towards something else. Luckily we are about to get flooded with some great new fall gaming releases from other companies.

There is too much information being thrown at me on these forums! Dungeons, professions, pvp, World vs World, races? I am having a hard time figuring out what to do and I might leave for another forum.
Please hide all subforums from me except General Discussion until my post count is high enough that I will be able to understand them.

Terrible news. Just when I was starting to get back into the game and I was really hoping for SAB to come back soon. Now I don’t even feel like playing again.
The last release of it had some problems, but there were some good fixes and it was a fun change from the usual game.
Just bringing back the old Worlds would be perfectly fine with me.

Hahaha, I love it!
Skill #2 could be HeyBartWannaSeeMyNewChainsawAndHockeyMask? – Gap closer leap to your opponent that stuns them.

I found that I was annoyed and frustrated much more than I was having fun.
Yeah the rapids knocking you around while you are in the air jumping over them was really annoying. Especially when you get knocked back and have to do several tough jumps over again.
I liked exploring World 1 and searching the place and trying to hunt the baubles.
World 2, I just find myself wanting to get past an area just so I can get it over with.

What garbage. This really annoys me. Certainly doesn’t make me want to spend money on gems anymore.
