Guild Wars 2

Valot.7954:

Hate to sound like the negative nancy here but I’ve previewed heavy armor with my medium armor and a lot of it overlaps. They would need to really look into making sure all armor pieces are compatible “or” just make new armor/armor skins in the future that are compatible so players can wear a hood with heavy armor.

I know what you mean but I think it’s fine. It’s mainly the long coats of the medium armors that overlap and don’t fit well with other armor pieces, but you don’t have to combine armors that you don’t think fit. That the option is there is not bad. It’s up to the players to pick and combine armor pieces they think look good together, and man I must say there are a lot of really awesome looking combinations.

Yes please! This I wanted from the start. I’m used to how it works in Lord of the Rings Online and there you can at any time change your armor to look like any other armor regardless of what type it is. It’s just wonderful to see what cool looks players come up with. I don’t see any point in restricting players from combining armor-skins how ever they want. Personally I want my bad kitten guardian to be able to have a nice cloth hood on his plate and maybe even some softer-looking shoulders, like the light ascalonian shoulders.

Further more, if the transmutation stones weren’t restricted to a certain type of armor Anet could even start to release special looking armors with no stats or armor type that did just give you a skin. I saw a lot of these kinds of armors in Lord of the Rings Online and they were often rewards for special events and festivals. That way they don’t have to design a new heavy, light and medium set every time they want to release something. Sometimes it could be enough with just one new set with a unspecified armor type.

Or you just can’t equip the gear drom the other race even if you own it. I see no problem with that. And then it should be no problem with the story either after a few levels in, the story line merge long before lvl 80 so this should be no problem either. I really really want to change my race. Spent so many hours on my character to just make a new one just like him but with a different race.

Same here! I just traded all my gold to get the gems and then I see that the option to buy new character slots is missing! T.T Got friends waiting for me with their new chars…
