Guild Wars 2

Hevoskuuri.3891:

If the ‘immersion breaking’ skins bother you so much, maybe you should consider switching to an immersive sim game. GW2 is after all a game set in a fantasy world with dragons and magic (and has never claimed to be realistic in any sense), what else you’d expect?

Edit: this is not a personal attack, I’m simply just tired of seeing people complain about immersion, which sounds really silly to me considering the game’s theme, lore and genre.

“realistic” to GW2’s universe not IRL

I’m so sick of seeing dumb immersion breaking skins, feather wings and the most obnoxious dye channels, are there any servers with an overall high amount of players who choose a more realistic (realistic to THIS universe) approach skins wise?

GW2 aesthetic has become an absolute joke, & is ruining my enjoyment ingame to the point im not sure i even want to play this game anymore.
I am seriously considering uninstalling shortly after POF.

which is a shame cuz i am a GW1 veteran who loves this universe.

Can we have a ‘Sort’ option for our Character select screen like in GW1?
maybe we could have one option for ‘Alphabetize’ and another option for ‘Race’

my ocd is really bad & it would really make me feel less stressed

Everyone just picks whatever skins are most prestigious or the most obnoxious, largest & ridiculous looking glowing mess possible. The majority of dye channels and Gliders have no place in this game, and were a terrible design idea. Not to mention the awful Outfits that everyone without a hint of taste seems to throw on.
It really is such a shame to see that whoever thought up the skin ideas (90% of the Gemstore skins in particular) couldn’t show some restraint, especially since how amazing GW1’s aesthetic was. Even most of the hairstyles have just become stupid jokes (seriously, F U to whoever made the norn moustache) It has totally tarnished this game & ruined any chance of immersion.
If it wasn’t for Path of Fire coming out soon, i would uninstall.
