Eles won’t be a thing in high ranked pvp games, it will get to the point where an engi or Druid will be able to bunk better than an ele
Anet wants diverse builds, people want diverse builds with ele- you’re not getting it clearly.
Every weapon for every class should be viable in pvp based on which build fits what situation. I want to be a staff ele, not tempest bc you can interrupt tempest too easily with overloads. Eles are being pushed into a bunk corner, and nowhere else. Thank you anet for giving eles a kick to the teeth- there will still be eles, just not as often
I feel anet has no idea where they want to go with ele, they want different builds yet purposely push ele into more and more support. I hate playing support.
Before the celestial update, eles either hit like a wet noodle bc they were so bunky or they were taken out within seconds bc they were so glass. That’s it, you didn’t see ele in ranked matches often because engi and guardian could do what ele could but better. That is where ele is going yet again.
Anime flower hair, anime genie ponytails are clearly what we’re not asking for anet- hopefully this can get more spotlight
What we do want:
Female Afro, dreads, curly hair
More fae like sylvari hair
Long asuran hair
Tribal hair for charr
Curly hair, cute bobs and Celtics braids for norn
Ok here the hair styles i was trying to submit earlier
I have a hairstyles thread going if you’d be willing to submit those? I’m on my phone so I can’t provide the link
This guy has tones of amaizing asura draws!
http://ethanw-artblog.tumblr.com/page/2
C’mon Anet take inspirations from ppl who actually play and love asurans!
I love the female asura hair, the rainbow is abit much but the design itself is awesome
Heres some long Sylvari hairstyle ideas from the interwebs, it doesn’t even have to be super long. Just medium length or past the shoulder, there is just so many short hair styles now it would be nice to have some long ones.
I would try drawing but i’m not the best at it lol. I also thought that it would be neat if some styles could have branches/“horns” like the first one
And snow I also like your art,the styles are very cute.
The horn branch idea is lovely and phenomenal, if only it could be executed properly so it doesn’t look too animeish or silly
I drew these awhile back but something like this- please Anet take reference it’s okay and more!
ADD MORE STUFF
These are spot on
Please provide more samples!
I hope this is a wake up for anet as far as personal cosmetics go
Also anet, how about some dreads for human females? Thick vines that look like dreads for sylvari
Suggest hairstyles you’d like to see Anet deliver Even post pictures! Give anet the idea they needed before the recent hairstyle blunder. I know some of you are happy with the change- The patch itself is Great, but as far as personal cosmetics go, it’s not.
Human Females – Long hair, Long braid? More Curly hair, better female mohawks. Greco-roman hairstyles.
Human Males- Better beards and ’staches please. A variation of Warrior and gentleman. Male braid variation, Better mohawks, Curly Hair, Long hair.
Sylvari- Long leaf hair, Branch-twist hair, More flower variation hair, Thorn “hair” Thorn Mohawk.
Charr – Tribal spikes, mohawks, bones, striped hair, Braids and feathers.
Asura- Wraps, up-do’s, Nothing crazy fancy because they’re asura, but more practical styles.
Norn – Curly hair, Celtic Braids with horned headbands, Wind-blown hair, Choppy hair, Normal ponytails (no anime ponytails) Celtic Braided beards, longer beards.
The tyrian humans have no real culture anymore. It would destroy the norn culture to bring norn hairstyle to humans but Anet is all about destroying lore and pooping on ingame culture, I mean look we have angel wings and goku hair lol.
There should be variations and not exact replicas. Like a long braid for humans, without celtic clasps, just add a ribbon or wrap of some sort. Gw1 would recycle hairstyles often but would change it to fit the class. Like a ranger and a ritualist had dutch braids, same model but one had feathers in it and the other was garnished in jewels. Anet can do this they just choose not to.
Anet should hold a contest for players to submit hairstyles and are voted upon, everyone wins. The winners get a free hairkit or something and X amount of gems.
Norns were given a loooong braid. People have been asking for long braids for the human race. Dervish in Gw1 have a jeweled long braid. So people were asking for a long pretty braid for their human, so they wanted to norn hair (minus the celtic clasps and add ribbon wraps in place) And anet did not deliver so yay!
The long awaited hairstyles are the /Facepalm of the patch
Cat Ear Headband
We have stupid bunny ears, now give us stupid Cat Ears
Bumblebee wing Glider
Hairstyles that people actually WANT. Gw1 Hairstyles (bc they have variation of culture/elonian(vabbian-egyptian)/european/canthan(Asian)
The hairstyles- you guys missed the mark by so much. I bought makeover kits and hairkits thinking we’ll be getting something new and fresh only to be given the entire opposite. I wonder how many micro transactions you could have made if you would have delivered properly- there is no unisex between asura, you gave male asuran access to female asuran hairstyles, there is nothing unisex about them. Stop making goofy charr hairs. And the norn/human swap- the males are okay but the females (on both ends) you picked the worst hairstyles, especially for norn. THe flower hairstyle doesn’t actually look good. It’s a goofy hairstyle to begin with and now norn can look silly too.
The sylvari, why not just give us the one sylvari npc hair that we don’t have access too? It’s the wysteria/willow branches, why not give sylvari more flower/ long hair? Give human females a variation of the long norn braid- the norn have the Celtic clasps, take those away and make them beads or ribbons or something to distinguish the humans and norn females. Give more racial hairstyles as in elonian and canthan. Gw1 had the best hairstyles.
I’m afraid to see what the faces will turn out to look like. Also, you forgot to add animation to the asuran braids…
Soldier rune with menders amulet- the fix for the qqs
Dmg ele was my fav anyways
D/d is bad
Use something else
The hairstyles are the facepalm of the patch, the ones we were given are not the ones people wanted (for the human and norn swap) it’s like asking for sunflowers for an event and someone responds with “I got you the roses you wanted, they are flowers after all”.
I wonder how many sales anet could have made if they would have given the right hairstyle swaps.
For me, as of right now; Elementalist feels very bunky in PvP. Almost to the point of the pre-april 15th patch that allowed them to wear celestial and actually do well. It made the people who were good at ele have something to show for it. Then it got out of hand and it felt as if you could jsut face-roll. Before the april 15th patch what I remember about ele was: You either went so bunky that you hit like a feather and would still get out manned in all 1v1 or you went full zerk and still were outmanned because you would go down like a sheet of paper. I don’t think ele/tempest is quite there but it eventually will get pushed even further into the bunk corner which isn’t fun. Tempest is very easy to play to begin with and is team-oriented. Sure, I’ve won my fair share of 1v1 on my ele, 1v2 even but on tempest it doesn’t feel as great. Maybe it’s just me. MY favorite combo was using staff on my ele, and if that didn’t work I used d/d. I dislike d/f, I don’t feel as mobile as d/d could be.
I;m actually choosing my necro over my ele when in the beginning ele is all I would play. Elementalist was my 1st character from launch, was always my go to and was my favorite. Anyways, this is just one persons opinion.
Here are some things that I think would be great to add to character customization; but before I get to that I’d like to say although we have an ever growing customization panel, with all the faces etc- no matter how you edit your character, you will look the same as the next person with the same face. You can increase the eyes, lower the nose to make a monstrosity but it’s still evident what face you’re using sadly.
Anyways, some ideas I have and have seen others share are:
-Two different color eye pigmentation
-Larger body types (there is a large female norn NPC and player characters cannot get that big sadly)
-More tattoos
-Make-up toggle? The red lipstick and smokey eye is very night-scene. Not only that there are some where you can really like the shading of the face but the makeup throws it off.
-Accessories color, more colors!
-Orange hair colors.
-More horns for charr & feline beast faces
-Two-toned glow options for sylvari
-Racially diverse hair for human/norn races – Take a look at nightfall; the hairstyles are on point to a fantasy-vabbian culture. what I mean by that is although some may not be accurate to a T, you can tell it’s meant to be African/Vabbi/Egyptian based. I’m sure there are still people in Tyria who stay strong to their roots and are clearly Elonian.
-Canthan hairstyles (Take the Gw1 hairstyles and clean them up for Gw2 right?)
-Loooooong hair for human male and female characters. Classier but still kitten female mohawks, More messy hair options for human male,
-Better beards. All of the human male beards look pasted on.
-More body markings for Asura
-More Asura based hairstyles
-Long hairstyles for Sylvari (There is also a Sylvari NPC with “branch” blossom hair we have yet to get, that would be a lovely addition to the female Sylvari)
-Mole/wart options
-Scars
-MERMAIDS (jk, but not jk)
So, these are just some ideas personally I’d like to see eventually. Hopefully. Fingers crossed. But, I doubt it. Not sure what you guys think.
Some were datamined recently, so it’s def coming.
It would be better imo if hairstyles & faces were released more often than hair colors.
Hello!
Currently I’m trying to complete the rest of my reward chests – I just got out of pvp because the reward track was going really slow and I’m now back in WvW (I havent been in WvW since HoT first came out)
My question is do you get faster progress through PvP or WvW? I noticed a really annoying timer that doesn’t allow me rewards until the timer resets- Both seem relatively slow.
BUMBLEBEEEEEE WINGS
I figured the ones who’d get it would dye themselves to look like crap.
Now all they need to do is revoice the norn female! bc her voice sounds like crap.
Unranked shouldn’t ever be taken seriously, I go to unranked to test builds. Do I care if we lose? No. It’s unranked so who cares? No one should.
Don’t go down, then no worries!
To be fair everyone should be nerfed to the ground- 1 hp, 1 attack dmg and no stamina. Then no one would complain except for the laggy ones. Tired of seeing “this is too OP” no, it’s not.
I don’t even buy anything from the gemstore, it all feels like a rip off with he 2k bundles when you only want 1 item from it. I feel some of the things for the price in gems are not justified, but I don’t buy those things. The only thing that stays constant for me in makeover kits. But I don’t buy those unless there are new hairstyles and faces. So anet only makes money off of me anymore when they come out with actual good cosmetics, which has been almost a year now.
“I payed 50$ so I deserve handouts”
I’ve paid more than 50$ and I still have to work for my stuff, so why shouldn’t you? If you were given something immediately there wouldn’t be much else to do if you couldn’t work for it.
Would you rather a handout or to work for it?
Nevermore doesn’t even look like a legendary by any standards, it hardly stands out and when you hold it, it’s swallowed by a giant mist bird and looks awful.
Bumblebee wings
Junebug beetle wings
Luna moth wings
Monarch butterfly wings.
Steampunk dragoon wings
Stop giving us ugly preset colors for wings please. That’s why I don’t buy any gliders, even if they are dyable, the backpack version isn’t.
Mermaid wings!!!
What HoT is is what gw2 should have started out as. For example: minimal cutscenes, your character has conversations that don’t involve a cutscene. Instances still felt like you’re apart of the story. More challenging content. Raids.
HoT Felt like the right that had gone so wrong in gw2 previously.
Ls is too short still. Content you can complete in less than a day.
Update dungeons, give us underwater content like you promised from the beginning, balance underwater fighting like you should have from the beginning.
Make pvp harder to gain xp, introduce the old systems of pvp boosters- no experience if you lost and tons of experience if you won- it would save pvp.

Melandru outfit
Mermaid outfit
Bumblebee stuff
Battlemage armors
Armors with nice looking butt-cape/ bustles but no more coats. There is a different anet.
Tight fitting corsets
Hoods and hats with hairstyles. No balding.
Flower crowns/ leaf crowns.
Cowboy hats don’t exist in the lore of gw…. Your character will be bald anyways because with hats anet doesn’t know how to create hoods/ hats that involve your characters hair.
How about ask for hoods and hats with preset hairstyles.
Melandru outfit
Grenth outfit
Mermaid outfit
More gw1 armors
Gw1 elonian/ canthan hairstyles- most hairstyles now fit European descents.
Bumblebee/ beetle wings with the pretty iridescent effect.
To make gw2 great- introduce underwater content, give us new dungeons that give ascended armor and have more puzzles and are more time consuming to help weed out casuals and you can’t hide in the corner to fight a boss.
I haven’t really been following the story, and I’ve played since beta
The characters are just the stereotypical hero, tough guy, smart outcast, know it all, Etc. I kind of like Caithe
I enjoyed the cutscenes in hot where my character actually talked, it wasn’t that trehearne crap where he’s the main character and turns to you for everything and he gets the credit
If anet gives us content more frequently, new dungeons for starters- I’d be willing to get back into playing gw2- but anet is more focused on releasing mining skins.
You’re thinking of the wrong game- neither a guardian or revenant can play like this and be effective anymore
I would love to be able to get all the shinies of a game by playing that game and not another one. So I understand the OP in that.
But I also understand that if these special things were promised as only for those who played GW1 those who played it prefer for them to stay that way. It is elitist, but understandeable.
Lol “elitist”
Playing a game for 5+ years and earning your items and achievements that are carried over to the next installment to be appreciated and those who didn’t play the original consider it elitist bc they won’t do the work to get the items.
I dont mind to sink the time in the game that I actually care about, i just dont think i need to sink time in a 11 years old game wih very low popoulation. 4 years ago it was somewhat reasonable, now its not.
Well then you have your answer. You don’t think it is worth it to do what you need to do to get these rewards. So the actual rewards are not worth it to you.
Akin that to masteries. If you don’t think ley line gliding is worth having then you are not going to sink the time into getting the mastery. Same principle.
And “reasonable” in this instance is a very subjective term.
Only problem in your logic is that GW1 and GW2 are not the same game. Like I saied i want to play GW2 to get access for GW2 content and goodies. I dont even understand why players here so strongly push me to play GW1, you even admit its just a time sink process any one could do, so why not giving me and aquivilent option in GW2, why do you care in which game the effort and the time sink will take place? Make it a time effort, make it hard, make it costly, but kitten make GW2 content avilable for GW2 players.
If you played gw1 and did stuff you got rewarded for your work input in gw2. If you don’t play gw1 then no. Just no. Nothing gw1 should be obtainable in gw2 just bc you don’t want to work for it like the rest of us did.
This must be a troll. So those who worked hard and grinded in gw1 should get 0 credit just so casual non gw1 players can have more handouts? How about get 100k achievement points then you have access to hom but no items. It’s ancestor related lore- if you played gw1 the items passed down to your gw2 characters are in relation.
If you want gw1 stuff in gw2, then go buy gw1.
You might as well ask for free legendaries while you’re at it just bc you feel entitled and deserve it.
People actually wanted this outfit? Great that it’s a skin but in a 50$ bundle. GG anet, I’m still not opening my wallet until new faces and hairstyles are released.
It should stay exclusive.
Nothing is worth buying until they release new hairstyles or faces. I refuse to spend anything that isn’t related to new hairstyles or new faces anymore.
They should redesign gw1 hairstyles and release them in gw2. Finish releasing the outfit to the Tyrian gods like melandru and grenth.
I don’t think the team behind this is listening very much.
There should definitely be more of revealing armor for male characters, I’m a girl & I like showing some skin on my ladies because I know it’s just a game & I can just wear something that’s less revealing, there are several options. Do I think there should be more practical armor? YES.
I’m not spending a dime until I get new hairstyles & faces. If they wanted more key sales then they should make them a more frequent drop & give out a freebie to encourage you to buy more keys. Atleast that used to work on me back when free stuff would be offered on the gem store.
blizzard comes out with more content than this :P All anet can do is “past gem items rereleased!, gliders!”
They should release hairstyles, bodyshapes, tattoos & faces more than they do gliders and outfits imo. I think they’d do better in the content area. That’s atleast very mild content & a step in the right direction.
Id like more customization options as well, in the end the face you chose will look like the same face but altered slightly and you run into 1000 other people with the same look.
But I love 100% customization in a game and that’s how games get my money. Gw2 is 45% customization when it comes to making beautiful or ugly characters (aside from armor) because there are already ugly faces that exist and beautiful ones, you can only go one of two ways, uglier or even more pretty.
More dungeons and improved old dungeons
I could care less about raids as well, Infact I’ve never done a raid in gw2 because it’s not appealing to me like dungeons were
I still play d/d tempest and the d/f wonders why they lose haha
You’re an elementalist, not an Elsa
There is no good “ice” dos build
That’s the issue with new eles, they think they just have to play one element and think they’re 100% utilized
If you want a dps build then you’ll need earth/fire/lightning
You’re meant to cycle all ele elements, not just one and if you think otherwise then don’t play ele.
I use staff and d/d depending if I’m with a team or not
And I easily kill any other ele (solo)prob because I’ve played pvp ele since half a week after gw2 came out so I can predict usually what they’ll do since almost all do the same rotation and actions, just like greatsword mesmers, they invisible then #4 and wonder why they just lost- and I’m not bragging but anyone who knows rotation can see it in others and know what to expect
