I hate the quality of the outfits, they have a weird lighting going on & are basic & don’t look as good as the older outfits but the skin pieces I’ve always appreciated.
I’ve mained elementalist since launch & have seen the ups and downs of the class. With all this condi bs going around Ive been hesitant on using my ele in pvp in the new season. I don’t like playing healbot or any metabattle build; I have settled for a dps & when I’m not focused it’s great. Anyone having to settle by playing heals if you play ele? Have you seen a lack of elementalists this season so far or within the past few weeks?
Hi there! I’ll get down to the point; I enjoy the new wvw system. I’ve always played wvw for the fun mostly but the rewards & slim possibility of ascended gear was also a driving force. With the new skirmish update I don’t think we get the skirmish tickets enough.. IMO, based on participation/loyalty/ rank etc (the system we already have)there should be a bonus amount of tickets given to the already existing amount. Like the 1st two chests you receive the normal amount when you finish that tier but the higher tiers for reaching them based on the time you participated you receive a bonus of 10-40 tickets for each tier completed that already add to the existing amount of tickets. If you hop in and out of wvw, it’s as it is; when you complete a tier you’d receive the normal
Amount and no bonus because you break that participation.
Tl;dr- you receive bonus amount of rewards that stack based on participation
You want people to be punished when there are map q’s in wvw & they go into eotm. You’re either trolling or are actually as entitled & crybaby as you’re coming off. Some do farm it, but some people clog wvw up with duels. You’re crying for people to be punished because they got more cookies than you, differently.
That’s like asking anet to take away all the vanilla legendary weapons people made just because you decided to craft it the HoT way & you don’t want people to have the same skins as you, Boo!
Why do this for eles? Why give sword for eles? Anet will just make sure ele has the least amount of diversity of builds (like they’ve done since beta) so expect sword to be underwhelming. In a game full of conditions, blocking and boon stealing, ele can barely hold up. Let’s just hope this will open up a world of diversity and NOT just in PvE.
Hi! I’m enjoying the new system so far as a wvw’er, farming pvers has been fun as hell but my question is – my server has won the skirmish each tick; what are the skirmish pip points for? I have over 100 but do I turn them in or is it supposed to add to my pip track? Or is it something that adds up @ the end of all of this? I don’t see where it’s adding to my overall pip reward track (if that is how it works)
Tl;dr- what is the point of skirmish points?/pips and where do they add up?
Not to mention, how the quality of the new outfits is worse each time. Kasmeer’s armor set had more detail than her “updated” outfit. OH! And they are really shiny & almost have an ambient lighting no matter where you are. I want a mermaid outfit. kelp skirt & seashell top. For men, a seashell cod piece ;D
So we have new eye shades guys! But I feel like we already have colors/shades that are too similar…. it’s like releasing blue eyes but a different hue. This is navy blue, this is midnight blue, this is whale blue (hint:they generally look similar). If it’s not two different eye colors(heterochromia), what is the point? What cosmetic update do you prefer when it comes to makeover’s? Me, it’s hairstyles. I don’t care about accessory color since most of the hairstyles we have don’t look great with the accessories that come with them & only look good in brown or grey most of the time unless you’re an asura. Sylvari don’t even have accessories to their hairstyles & the new eyecolors look the same each time for sylvari. Frankly, the new eye colors are disappointing. I’m ready to drop 50$ on makeoverkits as soon as we get an actual cosmetic update, not for a new accessory color or a rinse-repeat of eye colors.
TL;DR – New eye colors look the same as last, what is your fav thing in makeovers?
Guys is nice the girls could be a little more fantasy girly. But in the end they look a lot like the many medium armor coats.
Fantasy girly? umm…no lol. I’d much rather an authentic look & the duster coat wasn’t worn as often as one thinks. I’d like a belted coat that isn’t long. Imagine the outlaw outfit without the coat length. It would look 100% better.
I’m bald IRL and I kind of feel like your making fun of me. There’s nothing wrong with being bald, many people like it. My characters are bald also buecause I try to make them look like me. I don’t mind the baldness, I love it. Why are you shaming people for being bald. You are basically saying bald people are ugly…
Don’t put words that aren’t there. We’re talking about outfits ina game, not people irl.
You’re complaining about bald characters. Your issue could be restated as “don’t hide my character’s hair”, which would come across as different. The respondent might be overreacting… but the words you chose opened your statement up to misunderstand.
Regardless, ANet isn’t hiding character hair because they want to. There’s a technical reason for it. The very things you love about hair in this game (colors and animations and textures) conflict with how headgear works (including that on outfits).
To remove the conflict would require writing new code that allows that to happen, retrofitting every existing hairstyle & headgear to make it work with the new code (whether it is actually changed or not), and doing more QA on future designs. That would be expensive enough to reduce the number of new skins we see, including outfits, armor, and hair.
For better or worse, the developers decided to keep the status quo (hiding hair with most headgear) to allow them to release more skins.
That leaves us with these choices:
Hiding headgear (can be done for outfits, too)
Not using (or even buying) gear (or outfits) that hide hair.
Embrace the hairlessness.
I do come off complainy don’t I? There was a better way to put it, but the frustration of falling inlove with certain items/outfits only to realize it makes you bald. Do I want it to display my character’s hair? Not necessarily; I’d be okay with it showing a preset hair. One for female/male humans, norn, asura, charr etc.
i love how all ppl thinks,that making hair actualy visible has to be IN SOME CODING
a/ if they know they dont have time to fix the hair,dont make hat
b/if you know that you have 99% chars in game with hairs,dont make coat which will 100% clip thru them
c/dont make more coats.
d/i didnt seen single preaty bald woman,send pictures pls.
I’m sure there are beautiful bald women; heck, I bet I’d look good bald! My boyfriend & I even joke about it but I don’t want to have to miss out on a full outfit just because it gives bald hair. I could buy the outfit, but if it gives balding, I don’t want to only wear 90% of the outfit. That’s just me though.
I think for future reference, hat items/outfits should come with preset hair.

Tired of all the baldness. I’ll take preset hair like what the dwayna outfit did, anyday.
Anet, we do not like baldness. Yes, we can just take the hats off but what about when you release a hat item that makes you bald? It’s a great hat & I’d actually dish out 10-30$ for outfits/items that didn’t make you bald. There is a pirate hat that could be awesome but it makes you bald. Clearly, you are intending it for purchase. (HINT***The balding is bad.) The recent outlaw outfit is cool imo, I love the big hat but the balding is a sure turn off & therefore I won’t be purchasing it. I want to be able to wear the entire outfit & enjoy all of it without having to go “Oh no, now I’m bald.”
Ideas for premade hairstyles – male/female warrior/ladylike Braids, Buns, French-twists, Warrior-buns, pixie cuts, dreads, pony-tails, Pretty/awesome headscarves, shaggy hair… you get the idea.
I’d like some advice for a small group ele, I feel like ele has been crapped on & thought I was out of touch but about a week of nonstop pvp has showed me I’m not out of touch, the ele class is with conditions; what gear should I wear on my ele? I’m currently crafting zerker ascended for raids but want to also craft a set for wvw. Should I just play another class that actually has build diversity? Or am I missing something?
Each update I get ready to spend some gems for those new cosmetic character styles but we have yet to receive any new faces that aren’t reskins of old ones or a bad selection of pre existing hairstyles that are race swapped. (I’m looking @ you weeb flower hair) I know more racially diverse hairs/faces are in the works which is great but how long? I’ve always held onto my gems until then. Originally it was like we got new hairs (with good hair physics) every few months or new faces (no good beards or new tattoos) it’s gotten very scarce & I know with bug fixes & new content that stuff is put on the backburner but there are people who look forward to new AND good hairstyles/ faces just as much as others to new content. Will the new makeover updates be as far away as the next expansion? I sure hope not :/
TL;DR – when will we see new & good hairstyles/faces/beards/tattoos? Hopefully b4 next expansion.
Because not everyone likes to play this condi crap, eles certainly can’t. They’re out of the running for everything. My advice? Bring stun breakers or learn to counter it. It’s not as strong as it used to be.
yes they should change that to a more appropriate look. your cool hairstyle is gone when you equip it,
devs please see how witches and wizard looks in anime and movies. they are not bald.
I hope they notice this post.
No to anime/Weeb based hairstyles, not even with the hats. Something more practical, yes but not silly. I do agree that there should be preset hairs with hats/hoods. In the 1st year of gw2, when you wore certain hoods you could still see your hairline & it looked great but they removed it.
The quaggan npc is bugged, I’ve done his event several times already & each time he gets to the end to be a merchant, I cannot interact with him. Nor can anyone else
This. No more “flower in hair/ obnoxious high ponytail/ goku hair/ chunky bangs that would only be held together by gel”
I do want longer hairstyles for human/sylvari races but not a crossover. The celtic look should stay with norn.
Sylvari on the other hand could use crossover hairstyles, there are some male styles that I prefer over female ones.
I completed all of the events & got the completed sword, I went to my home instance to get the other skins but ridhais was nowhere to be found, I searched on wiki & saw she was in the chamber with tree avatar & ridhais was also not there.
Note: In Orr after I picked my weapon, I didn’t talk to her. I didn’t know I was meant to if that was an issue?
I also went back to Orr to the location of the instance & no luck either. So far, I’ve checked all of her locations in this quest & nothing.
Do you think it’s a possibility that we’ll ever get to see outfits from the other Gods?
My favorite is Melandru, but as far as Grenth goes is just his hood & no mention of even the show stealing Kormir. (Jk, but not really)
We already have outfits of Dwayna the rock johnson, Balthazar slytherin & Lyssa so I was just hoping & crossing my fingers for outfits of atleast Grenth & Melandru Gibson
I find it stupid how suddenly Braham wants to avenge the mother he barely cared to mention before. So, a death made him rethink? I feel like he’s just trying to make a legend for himself- It’s not about his mother dying & it never was. Otherwise, He is actually THAT poorly written.
We are no longer the flavor of the month. It was believed eles had gotten too strong & their support capability had to be toned down, that’s not even the worst part; Tempest that came with it, is. (I dislike tempest)
I’m sorry if this comes off as complain worthy & whiny.
I posted in another thread about ranger pets asking for more, which clearly we will possibly be getting with the upcoming expansion.
Picture if you will: Other pets that are just as useful as the HoT pets!
Pet progression as well, from pup wolf to dire bad*ss with GW1 style growth.
Right now, having all of the tamable pets in your invisible menagerie is literally an aesthetic. I see it as there shouldn’t be tamable animals if there is no point to have it other than to look cool. (but that is just me) Heck, why even tame a shark? Underwater combat doesn’t seem to be ever getting love.
NOTE: I’m not saying pre HoT pets have 0 worth.
Having only 4-5 pets out of 20+ being combat worthy is quite a loss, wouldn’t you say?
I’m not suggesting that ALL of the pets get a damage buff but maybe a rework? So rangers can happily have more selection instead of a smokescale and bristleback or a wolf. Maybe there is something I’m not covering here, I know there is someone who can shed better ideas on this topic.
TD;LR what is the point of even taming more than HoT pets since no others have any real usefulness as far as utility goes.
How about more USEFUL ranger pets. Only a pinch of their pets are remotely useful & it’s disgusting. Why even have a hyena? it has a buddy. that’s it. Don’t even bother with underwater pets since underwater combat will NEVER be expanded upon. The pets you get don’t even progress as far as their growth like in GW1 where you could have either an epic dire wolf or a cowardly hound depending on what you did in battle; it even would grow in size!. GW1 had alot of better elements that GW2 didn’t follow which is a huge waste & shame.
I’d rather have a bucket full of pets that were useful than new pets that are just an aesthetic to a ranger that will never be used in combat.
I much preferred the more renaissance-esque style of GW1 over GW2, all of my GW2 characters I’ve done my best to replicate how amazing the GW1 style was. I appreciate the magi-tech rainbow tards of GW2 but I’d prefer more steam-punk. Of course, that’s just me! I think everyone running around with angel wings takes away the aesthetic of GW2. Those people look absolutely obnoxious but that’s their right & how they want to look.
GW2 feels less poised because of those rushed-felt decisions.
Hopeful that we’ll see more of the older style of GW1 appear, more steampunk/renaissance styles will take place & no more cheaply looking outfits.
Like I said before, that’s just how I feel.
WE have aviator cap, but we don’t have raised goggles
there are several mmos that can work around hairstyles by giving us headpieces/hoods that don’t take away hair.
For some reason anet loves bald people & assumes we like it too hhaa
This isn’t a discussion on CAPS with goggles, it;s a discussion on goggles that keep your hair that are RAISED
essentially its because they dont like how its going to clip and look, with various hairs. they dont want to have to have to future proof either hairstyles, or headpieces.
its sucks a bit, but i dont think their is a cheap solution. they could probably make a hairstyle that includes goggles, thats probably about it.
yeeeah i guess the solution to headwear, would be more hairstyle unlocks, but you wouldnt always get a headpiece with your chosen hair style.``
I’ve thought this too, giving us specific hairstyles for X items but clipping they don’t seem too concerned for since half of the shoulder items/ outifts we’re given clip in some way. The goggles can sit a little higher above the head if that’s an issue. If we can have goggles on the face, where the leather strap goes behind the head; then why not raise the sockets above the head? There will always be clipping issues with anything unless you make hairstyles specific to that item only.

We have a minor selection of goggles, they’re very cool looking too!
How about, anet; making us players some raised goggles? It would work like the goggles we already have, just above the brow.
I’ve played gw2 since it’s beta, I’ve taken a year hiatus. I dislike raids. I loved dungeons, there was this whole other world behind an instance. Yes, they became repetitive but that’s just how dungeons are. They can be changed with events, like Christmas for example: attacking snowmen/ snow trolls etc. add humor to it. Halloween, as Ascalonian ghosts, fire imps. Holiday events doesn’t just have to be stuck to one human city in a tiny district in an even smaller neighborhood. You reading this Anet devs? I had a guild of 140 people who loved dungeons, these 140 people no longer get on. They’re all in my friends lists and we were like a family and loved helping others. I remember the first day, playing an elementalist and really getting into my character. I felt like I was actually helping the townsfolk, waving my scepter and fighting bees. Now it’s washed out. You saw players who’s characters looked like knights, sorcerers & hunters. Now you get rainbow winged clowns with magical effects. PvP feels unbalanced and is highly toxic. It feels like that’s where the focus has shifted, to a toxic community. With HoT, it was a definite change, I loved the newness of it but it came abit too late for most people. GW2 is now like a jack of all trades but a master of none.
I only played to get my pvp at 1st for fun & it was! Now I only play for titles. Now I’ve gotten them all, there is literally nothing else interesting about GW2. I say this because I loved doing the old dungeons (AC/TA/CM/CoE/SE/Arah) But they have been neglected & Anet knows it but do they care? Hell no. I had a guild of 143 people all dedicated to helping others with dungeons & None of these people have been on since the release of HoT.
I don’t do pvp at all because when I want to do a serious ranked match, every other match there is a player who either DC’s OR they “Hey guys, Don’t get mad but I’m testing out a build.” WHY ARE YOU IN RANKED? Or people don’t know what to do, not capping or running into 1v5.
I’d love Caithe’s face. Clearly, it’s not exclusive to just 1 NPC but several sylvari.
As far as hair & beards go, we do need better hairs & not something that just looked like it crawled out of a weeaboo art thread.
More culturally diverse hairstyles & beards.
Elonian & canthan hairstyles from GW1- those hairs, with abit of updating; will be perfect.
Please, give us decent beards & charr hair that doesn’t look silly. Anet, add accessories to charr hairstyles like feathers, more bones, sticks, jewelery in their hair.
We haven’t gotten crap from Melandru(except some ugly backpiece), so why should we get grenth? Don’t you know anet wants us to forget about grenth, melandru & kormir? That’s why lyssa, balthazar & dwayna are the only ones that will ever come out.
Anet will make it a bulky, clunky outfit like everything else with a cape.
Charr really do need as much love as Humans & sylvari get. I remember there was one point in the beginning (and almost a year later) that charr had human footprints & not charr pawprints. It’s because “not enough people played charr so fixing them wasn’t their focus”
There should be some faces that are more wolf-like & others more feline-like. ATM the male faces look like droopy mastiffs from disney with super saiyan hairs.
More/better horns would be nice but then norn would have to get new tattoos.
Stunlock needs a rework but doesn’t need to go. All forms of interrupts would be completely gone, or atleast you should argue that they need to be gone as well. There is a level of skill involved when it comes to pvp- the way some skills are set up for certain classes is the stuns charge way too quickly. Take stuns away entirely & it’s like you’re just playing a crash course game. Zerk will take over.
Thats how everything should look like in gw. The same outfits/armors for both genders. Im sick of this female human naked meta where you see everyone and their mom running literally naked in north snow maps.. apply some wutface meme here.
This. I want decent battlemage armor as well. I LIKE robes, but not when they’re done horribly. But there too, should be some glitz & glam to each armor classification.
