Guild Wars 2

I haven’t even logged in to try the new version, and I’m horrified by this. If you run to a knight that’s already full, chances are by the time you’d make it to another knight, it’ll be dead or almost dead, and that’s if it’s not full, too. Anet should have just made it so if you helped kill a knight, you got credit/drops for it. This new change has zapped all the fun out of it, and definitely goes against the ‘play the way you like to’. And it’s just going to reward campers, while giving casual players the short end of the stick.

Hybarf Tics.2048:

If you search all possibilities you’ll find something, my female Asura is cute, her half naked top is the Lionguard Breastplate 0f The Afflicted, I suggest you look for karma merchants. Generally speaking it’s very hard for Asura to be cute even on character creation and 2 character makeover kits used.

Thanks for your reply!

Mostly the ‘half-topless’ armors are heavy armors, mostly because they’re modeled after more barbarian, we-don’t-need-armor-we’ve-got-brawn type warrior armor. It somewhat amuses me that female Asura have to wear these ridiculous pink onesies, then can wear chest-baring heavy armor…what?

But there’s only two half-topless armors I know of offhand for light armor, and one of those is WvW only. But then, pretty, feminine armor doesn’t equal bare skin. Cabalist armor, for a female human, covers skin extensively – and yet is quite distinctly feminine.

I find it quite easy to make cute female Asura, though – while most of the male Asura look like a cross between gremlins and trolls, the female Asura face options offer more animalistic faces, which can be cute-ified with the right sliders. I think all three of my Asura are adorably cute. Kissah – my Asura Mesmer still waiting for armor – is based off a white rabbit, for example (she’s in the attached image on my other post). My Guardian Asura looks like a pup. And with one of the three new faces released, even a male Asura can be somewhat cute.

Dear Anet,

I’m an avid GW2 fan. I’m not usually on the forums because if I’m thinking GW2, I’m in game.

But I’ve hit a serious snag. I’ve got this character, in game, that I designed at launch. I love her, she’s pretty cool and pretty tough to boot; she’s a mesmer, and man, light-armor class girls get all the cool armor – right?

Nope. She’s been untouched since I made her. I’ve debated multiple times re-rolling her as a male character. I can’t find a single cute, girly armor for her. And the reason for this is:

She’s an Asura. And all the Asura armor is sized-down male armor. All of it is masculine; there are no cute skirts, no cute tops, everything is for ‘little boys’. Which might be ok if you’re playing a tomboy character, or a warrior, but she’s not: she’s a FEMALE. And she wants female, feminine clothing. I want feminine clothing for feminine female characters. Human, Sylvari, and Norn females get a variety of armor that ranges from ultra-feminine to gender neutral, but Charr and Asura get stuck with the male version of armors. Nor is it just light armor – Asura and Charr are stuck with male armors, regardless of class.

Despite this, their ‘bathing suits’ are pink and ultra-modest. Treated like females, but not given female clothing.

I understand that the Asura and Charr models don’t have breasts like the females of other races have, yet the lack of feminine clothing for their races is extremely frustrating. Going through the armor, mix-and-matching, trying desperately to find SOME combination of armor that might look cute and feminine – something fitting a white-rabbit Asura with a love for pink – and finding nothing but masculine armor is depressing, and more than that – limiting.

The female models of armor already exist for human, Sylvari, and Norn Races. If male armors can be cut down and reshaped to Asura (or resized for Charr), it is possible to do the same for female armors. I know Anet is full of talented, amazing programmers and designers who CAN do this. Isn’t it time to offer a range of male AND female armors for the Charr and Asura races?

Some armors I’d dearly love to have female versions of for Asura would include Cabalist, Feathered, Armageddon, and Aetherblade. Just – something, anything, that gives more variety and versatility for female Asura and Charr.
