Guild Wars 2

Hey everyone, just going to jump in on this.

Just working off of Hamfast’s idea that the players individual story line choices (e.g. Norns who pick Bear Spirit can/should switch into bear form as town clothes)

I had a similar idea for the social slot addition about 20 days ago but i exclusively talked about Bear form and added the Asuran’s golems into perspective.

My idea was to utilize the social slot for a wider array of effects/skills, such as Asura’s being able to summon generic golems but with an option to change them up a bit. For instance to change their lights (Inquest- Red, Good guys – Blue) to allow the full rainbow spectrum. And alternatively this could be tied to players who use the Inquest armor set which i believe summons a golem when hit, and would be nice if they could dye the golem to match them in their colour patterns.

Personally i use bear form a lot during WvW to charge into zergs or to chase down prey and it’s pretty fun, but it would be more fun if i could customize the looks of my bear, maybe add a patch pattern somewhere. I’m not sure what happens to my armor lore-wise as soon as i turn into a were-bear but adding armor or other accesories to my were-form would also display originality of my character, more so if a Commander (whom is a norn) ever decides to turn into a were-bear can be easily recognized by his peers.

All in all i would support the inclusion of the ideas presented in this thread and look forward to the possibility of it being included in the game eventually.

Hey Everyone,

So i’m an avid user of the bear form ability, i like the story behind it, i like the skills and i like the feel that these racial abilities give to a big hearty norn such as myself.

Now my suggestion here is that with the release of the monocle i would like to be able to accessorize my racial form abilities – bear form in particular – with cool and fun things.

As of right now the bear form simply turns me into a hulking mess of hair and muscle that charges at you from an insane range and keeps going until i claim a victim as my trophy.

My proposal is to revamp the use of the “social clothing” tab as right now it doesn’t have that much variable use besides switching into town clothing or if you’ve bought some clothes. In addition to have the social slot there could be inclusion for racial modifying.

For example an Asura can summon/call in a generic golem ally to help him in a fight. But so does the Asura next to him.. and then his friend also… etc etc, this goes on until you have an army of generic golem allies. But say Asura #4236 decided he wanted to dye/modify his golems appearance and give it a top hat. Now we have some variability and maybe just a little bit of more fun.

Now this method can be applied to racial abilities of other races, say a Norn in bear form who is wearing a monocle and maybe has armor strapped to his chest that inspires class and destruction at the same time.

I’m not sure how the reception on this will go or how big the department is that handles the creation of extra content but it could be another source of revenue through the Black Lion Trading Co.

But i think this is a worthy topic to discuss and if you have any input feel free to include it in here.

Thanks for reading.

I’ll agree to the timing of it SniffyCube. The server crash/ DC only occurred right towards the end of the event where all the hard work has already been done. It was nice to get on an overflow that had the event going on at a later time for those that couldn’t make it to the original packed servers. Was still a shame to spend two and a half hours and get stopped by a server issue.
