Whenever they want to focus on the asura and charr models for armor or if they got time. They really need to have different armor sets for the asura and charr females. Regardless of their anatomy it should be a bit diverse between the two genders because every other race besides those 2 have different set armors for each gender. That’s their first step into versatility and then they can focus on armor clipping issues, animation and just plain better looking armors for the 2 races.

I don’t agree, at least not where the Charr are concerned because they don’t really seem to have much difference between gender culturally. The women fill the same roles as the men and they are a practical solider race with the emphasis more on cohesive groups rather than individuality. No need for the armor to be different.

A lot of female charr players want their armour to be more feminine. It’s why you see so many female charr and asura running around in the TA armour – because the male version looks like a dress.

At some point there has to be a compromise between what is practical and what players want. There is a reason that boob plate armour exists, and it’s not because it’s practical.

But yeah, ArenaNet can’t complain about the charr being unpopular when all the armour in the game was designed for human body types. Unless you’re a heavy charr, your options are slim, and if you’re a medium charr… well good luck. Trenchcoats look awful on charr and the clipping issues show that almost no effort was put into making the armour fit the race – especially when it’s racial armour.

When new armour comes out I really hope ArenaNet stops trying to fit charr into the mold of the humans and starts designing armour specifically for the charr. If the achievement point armour is anything to go by though, it’s time to reroll. It’s going to get a lot worse from here. I recently made the painful decision to reroll my charr ranger simply because I got kitten ed off with every armour set in the game looking like crud on him and being limited to a handful of options.

Meh don’t bother with the creative ideas about more feminine armor etc on the charr forums. You’ll get nothing, but criticism, insults and my view is right. A few will disagree with the idea without criticizing at all.

I’ll leave it to Anet to come up with future creative ideas if they want to add more * cosmetics * flavor to the game whatever they bring.

Charr pay to much attention to himself in mass pvp. My girlfriend play charr necro, and in GvG (and mass pvp) she took much more damage then other necro in our team, cause all of them play asura or humans. When she changed her character size to minimum (for charr), damage on her reduced. Simple statistic, but fact.
That’s people psychology, bigger model – bigger threat, easier to target, etc =) U can do nothing with it.

Not many people like charrs anyway in my opinion which is another reason why they go for them first. I get that pvp treatment all the time, but luckily thanks to good teammates and my whirlwind during GvG. As long the enemies focus on me my team will succeed and if they don’t they feel my wrath lol.

Healing Signet needs to be toned down

LOL imo this OP is a troll, As a guardian myself (my only character is the guardian) i run a regen tanky build with semi decent damage. I play war of attrition style out tank my opponents it’s always served me best.

When im randomy dueling i make a habit of dueling other classes with tanky builds. I can honestly tell you my guardian still has the upper hand against tanky warriors, they don’t really have good burst healing nor do they have the great defensive skills like guardian..ofc it makes sense for their passive regen to be strong. It’s the only decent source of healing they get. Now if you want to know whats op healing…LOOK to the ranger troll healing signet…thats op.

I feel sorry all this warrior hate..aside from that mace stun build hate they’re also getting hate for their healing signet. LOL…

All i will say is..there is always a counter build. If you can’t beat a class running a particular build try make one that does. Stop being lazy and moaning on the forums.

You mean people with a mindset like this actually exist?! Faith have been restored in humanity.

Brutalistik, you just don’t get it.

Female charr will never and should never have different looking armor from the males. That’s the lore behind it, and to change that now would be idiotic and make zero sense. Just because YOU and maybe a select few others want it that way, DOES NOT mean it should be that way. If Anet makes a change like what you’re suggesting, then shame on them. If you can’t grasp the simple logic on why female charr armor looks the same as male charr armor, then maybe you should be playing Hello Kitty Online instead of GW2. This isn’t about what a select few players want in real life, it’s about the established lore and story of the game, which makes PERFECT sense to most of us. Obviously not you, but thank god Anet hasn’t listened to your idiotic suggestion yet (and hopefully they don’t).

That being said, Charr armor DOES need to be fixed with all the clipping issues and the simple fact that most armor looks idiotic on the Charr models. They need to start designing armors from the ground up with Charr in mind instead of just making it for humans and then stretching it over a Charr body. It’s pure and simple laziness and it shows.

You totally misread my last post and for that you don’t get any reward points. Why change something now that’s been running smooth for a while. They’ve been adding armor skins anyway in the game since the beginning if you want to look different. I understood what Drakkon and Wien said. They’ve gave good points and I thought about it if I was working for a company. I wouldn’t accept my suggestion idea on F armor sets for charrs / asuras because it’ll be too much work plus the fact I’ll have to deal with sexy this and manly that argument. Not worth the headache.

Brutalistik, the problem with gender-based armor, even if it has lots of variety and is totally unsexualized, is this…

Essentially, it sounds like you’re saying that it’s more important to offer real-world players variety, than follow the fake, in-game charr culture (where there wouldn’t be gendered armor). That’s a sensible argument, since real-world preference should take precedence over in-game unrealism, in a game trying to appeal to the public. Since you’re arguing from a real-life perspective, so will I.

In real life, gender has been used to divide people and discriminate against them. From sexism in the workplace, to blue=male/pink=female, to our everyday behavior—it’s all determined by our sex, usually whether we like it or not. Although women have traditionally been the oppressed group, society’s strict rules about gender are annoying and restricting to both sexes. For the most part, we can’t even escape this in video games—our characters are forced to look and act a certain way based on their gender. There may be lots of armor variety, but even this variety is restricted—for example, male characters cannot wear dresses or hypersexual outfits, and female characters cannot wear some male armors, because they get “Sexy gear” instead.

A game should be an escape from the annoyances and troubles of everyday life. The way society restricts people based on gender is one of those annoyances. Guild Wars 2, at last, has offered us an escape from this through the charr. The charr have no gender roles or stereotypes. They aren’t limited like we are. It is incredibly liberating, to be able to wear and do whatever you want, in spite of your gender. In charr-land, nobody cares if something is “manly” or “girly”. It’s fun.

To take that escape away, in favor of variety restricted by gender, would be a mistake.

Okay I can agree to that since it’s standardized and plus the fact it’ll probably take more work to make different sets for them anyway which wouldn’t be necessary.

I guess you can say I am seeing this idea from designer’s perspective?

No, you’re no designer. You’re just a fanboy who had a different idea and are trying to get people to support it. If you were looking at this from a designer perspective, you would take every single player who picks a Charr to play as a success and wouldn’t be looking for horrible ways to fold the race back into the template that destroys people’s desire to play a different race by making it not different. To put it succinctly, the Charr are different because they’re undifferentiated, and that’s a good thing. Wanting them to be something different would make them the same as every other race, and that’s bad. They’re square pegs, not round ones. They won’t fit in your round hole.

I can say I’m seeing it from both views, If I was lead designer and I designed this race to be a certain way to be different from the others. Then that’s what my team would do. I can say if I am to face myself now like the ones doing the suggesting. My first thought will be this is going to take too much time. It’s like starting over from scratch with more armor clipping problems.

The best solution is just add more armor skins to the game while creating story content so my customers won’t lose interestd. Story vs Cosmetics.

Wow..umm I’m just asking for different armor sets for the females and they don’t even have to be provocative, but you guys already assuming it’s going to lead to that already because that’s all you guys are focusing on. If the male has a flame design full body plate armor set then let the females have a meteor design full plate body armor set.

I’m not going to even get into this silly debate about some furry fanservice on a different game. WoW is already cartoony as it is, but since you guys like to talk about lore and all. Worgens were humans anyway so that’s to be expected why they got a body like that. That’s pretty logical to me and will not go further than that thought.

Seriously guys you letting me down now with all these automatic assumptions on female charrs on what they can have and not have even if it’s not towards that direction.

It couldn’t possibly have anything to do with the fact that most of the armor sets in-game look kittening stupid on Charr…..oh no, it couldn’t be that! Until Anet stops being so kittening lazy with armor design in regards to Charr, there will continue to be people who refuse to play them.

From what I see they’re too busy with new armor / weapon skins at the moment than to focus on armor clipping problems with charrs.

Wouldn’t it better just to have wider range of not kittenty looking armor with clipping issues available to both genders rather than focusing on differentiating them when there is no physical or lore reason and the base we already have is bad?

Not to mention if they do that no doubt I’d end up wanting the opposites gender armor cause it looks better.

I rather have both solution solved excluding the physical / lore nonsense. Not sure why that needs to be added in discussion when all that’s being suggested are different armor sets for the female asuras / charrs.

Yes, wrong is the wrong word, but I am the one thinking outside the box, or, rather, I’m the one agreeing with ANet thinking outside the box. Every other game makes females of a given race different from the males, and, the same as one another. They all have human breasts, human hips, human hair, and they all look like humans in funny suits. I’ve grown very tired of it.

Neither Asura nor Charr females have human-like breasts. Asura females have better hips than males, but they aren’t exaggerated. I applaud ANet for taking the risk on creating the Charr and Asura and making them different from humans.

The Sylvari are human-like Barbies. Females have fictional breasts, males are like Ken dolls. Generic, inside the box, but at least they have a lore-based reason to be pseudo-asexual.

Norn are just big muscular humans. Inside the box thinking at it’s worst.

So I prefer the Charr and Asura, and the Char in particular. If I wasn’t so invested, time-wise in my Norn, Human and Sylvari characters, I would re-roll all of them as Charr. And I want to experience their racial stories.

But as for the armor, I have issues with the armor for Charr that have nothing to do with sexual dimorphism. On that front, they are perfectly suited, and their suits are perfect. I agree to disagree with you.

You’re not a GW1 player, are you?

Sadly, for your argument, these are the exact reasons I like playing the Charr and Asura. Saying I would quit playing if they changed them to make them less different from other races holds no weight, since there’s no subscription to actually cancel, but symbolically, I would prefer not to quit playing if they did something as stupid as make the Charr females look more human-like. It would lose a lot of the flavor and uniqueness that is part of the attraction to play GW2, even if every race isn’t for everyone.

To put this on the other foot, how about they change the Norn, Sylvari and Humans to be less human-like because too many people are playing them? Sounds like a ridiculous argument, doesn’t it? It’s actually similar to what you’re proposing, and it will kitten off players who play the Asura and Charr for their unique flavor.

Why are you thinking about race anatomy when I am thinking about different armor sets for the female charrs and asuras? What does all this other info has to do with them having different armor sets than the males?

All I am asking and supporting is that they can have armor sets meaning different patterns on their armor than the males. That way it won’t be identical so I do not see anything wrong with that suggestion. Why does lore have to be involved in this? If a charr wants a different design on their armor to look different from the rest. Then they will go to a blacksmith that will customize it for them and probably tip them off too for doing a great job.

I guess you can say I am seeing this idea from designer’s perspective?

Guys I don’t think we need to go into depths about a simple discussion about a norn fighting a charr. It all depends how the fight goes and from what I remember norn has more brute strength than a charr, but charr has the advantages due to claws. It will be a close fight and one will come out victor while both will be incredibly injured or dead due to too much damage intake/ loss of blood. Pretty much a double K.O

What the heck are you guys talking about? Big boobs and cultural stuff? I’m just saying they should have different armor sets from the males than being the same.

And I’m saying that you’re wrong. Not only isn’t it appropriate from a physiological stance, it is also culturally wrong for the Charr. There aren’t any reasons for the Charr to make differentiated armor for males and females, which allows them to mass produce their armor because one type fits all. Limited/no dimorphism means that customizations aren’t required. That suits a military-minded race perfectly.

Simply put, there’s nothing for you to make look different, because physically there are no differences to accentuate/compensate for. Respectfully, for the Charr at least, you’re completely off-base.

I think you need to think outside the box for a bit. I’m not wrong nor completely off-base. You could say you just disagree with my idea which would of been more appropriate to say than what you just said. What I don’t understand or whats in your mind is how are you viewing this scenario about the change in female charr armor sets. I mean like what comes to mind when I am talking about these stuff?

Let’s forget about this lore cultural nonsense for a bit and think about the video game itself. Do you think GW2 would keep everything the same within the next 5 years with female charrs / asura having the same armor sets as the males?

Trust me my discussion will be brought up numerous of times by others if nothing had change by then. This could be the exact reason why not many players play the charr race nor the asura a lot. Majority of the people wouldn’t care about the lore anyway because what they want is diverse and visualization.

Nothing wrong with diverse, but I’m getting the feeling that’s a taboo on the charr race only and no one else. Such a shame, but if that’s what the minority wants then so be it.

Female charr armor sets doesn’t have to be provocative if that’s what you guys had in mind. I just want it to have a different design and not the same as male charrs. I’m pretty darn sure the developers can make it happen and possibly would do it in the future because things never stay the same.

I’ll still support this idea because I like seeing new creative designs. It’ll make the female charr model armor sets more unique than mundane.

Can someone lock this thread already? This silly argument has gone long enough for the fact its has now 9 pages.

This is very sad if this thing upsets a community to the extent they need to give descriptive details and showing images to defend their argument when overall it’s not a big deal.

We get it
Section A

  • does not like the model, but wants to criticize Anet saying shame on them for putting this out for a assumption of a certain audience. That’s ludicrous…

Section B

  • Does not see a problem whats wrong with the image because it’s not their first time seeing something like this before. They just know its a new model that happens to have female anatomy and nothing more.

Section C

  • Plays the game focusing on getting more gold and karma not caring about the model or anything. They just play the game to have fun and not to stare at something for more then a second wondering whats wrong with it.

So my problem is this…what are the developers trying to achieve? Are they trying to make them look like women? Obviously not. Are they trying to make them feminine? Possibly. But then they would have had just normal curves, normal waists, and if necessary (though I don’t see how), normal heels.

I think what they were trying to achieve was misconception with the fembots turning on the good guys. You know as they say don’t judge a book by its cover.

I think some people just need to accept the fact no matter how uncomfortable you are about the image. It will always be there no matter where you go in reality or playing video games.

WoW melee is easier to do yes, but it’s more frustrating pvp in that game especially with warriors than in GW2. In WoW everyone can shut down a warrior very quick and you have to be a certain spec to actually be useful. Otherwise it’s constant CCs on you and that game does not have stability like GW2 does.

Your case with your warrior is that you need to leave that WoW mentality when playing a GW 2 warrior. Stick with a crowd more until you get the hang of it.

Brutalistik.6473

The countess is probably E. The mystery sylvari who Rox took potshots at is probably Scarlet. but yay for another month of killing aetherblades I guess.

The one thing I hate with this game is the races just don’t fit at all with certain things. Charrs should of never been able to be magic based classes, it just sours the lore. A random tree girl is leading pirates?! I can see maybe human or charr and possibly norn but the other 2 not so much.

Just kills it for me personally.

Charr have ALWAYS had magical abilities since GW1 Prophecies, it changes nothing.

Or are you saying Charr should never allow magic users into their ranks due to the flame legion? In that case, that would just make the Charr military leadership hilariously stupid.

As for sylvari, why not exactly?

I never played GW1 but from what I read that is the whole reason they went to technology cause they lack magic to fight the humans? I only know what I was read and told about them.

The trees were just born out of the pale tree learning about the world and all of sudden one becomes a pirate leader? I didn’t like the other one either they used for the Karka. I personally just don’t see it working all that well.

On the subject of Charr: No, the Charr believe that it was due to the Gods favoring humanity. This resulted in the Charr seeking Gods for power, which led to the Flame Legion.

As for the Sylvari, we have the Nightmare Court. Why is this Sylvari such a stretch? Hell for all we know she could be linked to the Nightmare Court.

I don’t like the idea of the nightmare court and please keep the hostility down.

Hostility? I think you’re reading way to much into things.

Also, refer to my previous post, I edited it just as you replied. It concerns the nature of the Sylvari.

This is my opinion.

I don’t like the concept of evil versions of sylvari. It would of been nice to have a race that didn’t have a good or evil side, simply just neutral. Being they are literally tree people, this would of been a great idea vs like wood elves or something. Now to have something relating to a nightmare I think is a good idea, but not evil versions of the sylvari.

The only thing I know about the Charr is they went heavy tech to compensate for the lack of magic. I don’t know much about the Flame Legion but I never liked the idea that any race could be any class. It just homogenizes everything and makes the world feel less spectacular. Cultures differ from each other and not everyone is the same and since there is no actual comflict, ie pvp with other races like WoW, having limits on the classes wouldn’t cause a balance issue.

Again my opinion.

You trying to say the world should always stay the same o.O? Never adapt? because of lore??

She may have good intentions doesn’t make her a good person. For all we know we probably going to have a future boss to kill later in GW2 series. What of the odds a good guy turning bad :P? It happens in most stories doesn’t it? I won’t bother your views if you think she’s more of a interesting character because we have different taste after all.

I gave Evon and Ellen the same number of votes so don’t blame me.

You did it for achievements I am guessing like everyone else did.

Kiel winning is better for casual players IMO

But that’s the thing. It’s all a big “probably” or “maybe” or “if”. He only guaranteed discounts on Black Lion Keys to support gambling in the gem store. He didn’t guarantee any other discounts at all. It is just everyone assuming he will if he was elected.

And Gnashblade a better character? No one even knows what kind of character he would be because he has been in absolutely nothing. He has done nothing and hasn’t set any kind of status or base on who his character even is. We can’t say he would be a better character when we know absolutely nothing on what his character would even be.

Of course he didn’t guarantee other discount offers…why spoil the fun when we can least expect it if he won? Knowing his character he do whats best for LA even if his are plans a bit shady. They’ve given him a cool persona for a villain type, but that’s as far I’ll go since he wasn’t elected for the spotlight.

So stop being immature about it, and just man up and admit the truth. You’re upset that you didn’t get the Abaddon fractal, so you are going to throw a fit and bash on the Reactor fractal cause it is not what you wanted.

Didn’t care for Abaddon lol. I only cared for discounts off the market :P.

It was only a discount on Black Lion Keys, nothing else. So Gnashblade was supporting RNG gambling in the gem store and was going to offer a discount on the keys so you could gamble even more and lose more money. Which in turn puts more money in his pockets. Doesn’t sound like a good deal to me at all.

Yeah, but I’m thinking about future discounts that probably would of been doubled if by chance he was elected. Anyways it was a lot of better deal than what Kiel was offering plus character.

I dont care about cheap keys or waypoint costs or the fractals. But I hate Evons capitalistic views and fraudulent behaviours.

You didn’t vote for him because he was a charr I get ya. You have to look at the benefits and not the story of this game.

/facepalm

As an old MMO fan that preferred the attitude of players back when MMOs were less popular, it literally pains me to know we’re playing the same game.

“You have to look at the benefits and not the story of this game.” ..Really? Did you just actually write that?

My poor genre.

Dude the guy is the leader of the Black Lion Chest Company automatically that will be future discounts besides keys and probably 20% or 30% lesser products on the market. I’m pretty sure we would’ve of gotten better story out of Gnash than Kiel. As of now Anet better find someway to make her character a lot interest than mundane. Otherwise this was a waste of time, but hey I get cheaper waypoints not like I was hurting in money anyway.

"Airforce" Kiel could've been better for her!

According to the audio files in case Evon won, Kiel would’ve joined Lion’s Arc Air Force.

Now that would’ve been a much better development for her than sitting behind a desk seconding everything boss Magnus tells her.

There was a lot more story potential for that case, Evon doing something big in the council (Kiel is unlike to do anything noticeable at all as she’s there to give Magnus a second vote and she doesn’t have money to fund progress and ideas) and Kiel commanding the air force with potential for some awesoma battles and finally some character development for her to have a personality of her own instead of being Robin to Magnus Batman.

Really guys, everything would’ve been GREAT for both, Evon and Kiel if you would’ve voted Gnashblade!!

(not to mention the super mary sue-ish “I won in so many other ways!” quote that Kiel says if she loses… please! why can’t we have a guy with some personality of his own like Evon winning??)

Why bother telling them when they don’t know good character development. All they saw was a strong woman role play character going against a shady charr. Of course since Kiel been in the recent spotlight of the living stories they would vote for her in a heartbeat. Kiel is okay, but her character never really appealed to me because I felt I wouldn’t get more action or comedic out of her than Gnash. Kiel is like one of those boring heroes like Mr. Fantastic or Super Girl.

While the Citizen of Tyria for a Better Tomorrow Tomorrow fully support Evon we must congratulate Kiel on a well earned victory.

Nope.

Screw the whole voting thing. You guys round filed a good concept of a fractal, gambling it on a vote. Now it’ll never be made.

You tied voting on the fractal to an event where people who DON’T EVEN RUN FRACTALS voted on it and people who chose Ellen for whatever other reason other than the fractal get to decide what content people who do run fractals get to do.

This was a massive screwup.

yisss. but i guess kiel has kittens so she deserves it right?

:’(

Nope even if she has baby charrs rooting for her she doesn’t deserve it.

Ofcourse she would win… Most people prefer saving gold over RNG crap so everyone voted for Kiel.. Badly done by Anet tbh..

Got a geico commercial vibe from your post.

I voted for Ellen Kiel because:

-She is human (and a “she”)

I did not vote for Ellen Kiel because:

-Wait, didn’t I?

I did not vote for Evon Gnashblade because:

- Really? Who in the world would vote for a stupid charr (besides those furry pervs)?

Gnash lost; haha, loser.
