Stop making outfits! We cant pick and choose pieces to match with our armor sets, it’s all or nothing, and LOTS of people don’t like that.
That’s nice and all (and quite honestly, I agree), but as long as there’s a market for it (as in, enough people actually buying the stuff) I kinda doubt that you can convince arenanet to just… stop doing it.
Best way is to vote with your wallet and just not buy the outfits.
The problem is there are enough people on the healthy and appropriate train out there that are perfectly happy with the new pieces, and were the catalyst for certain pieces not being converted to something useful.
I’m sure they are looking forward to the next piece.

i dont see any reason that speaks against releasing it as outfit + armorsets
Clipping issues are one good reason.
having the set as armor even if quite a few combinations would clip is still 1000000x better than not having it at all or not?
I never got the obsession with the (teh?) clipping. It never bothered me before and even if I noticed it, I can’t imagine being so retentive that I’d be happy that mix and match is gone because of it.
I have the reverse wish. I’d like to see the Sturdy Leatherworker’s Backpack Asuran sized on a Human so it’s more like this .
So a useless woman’s backpurse?
Well, to be fair, other than providing stats, none of them actually serve any sort of utility purpose other than appearance. I mean, none of the wings let you fly, and no one can come up behind your book and start reading, right? 
I guess what I’m looking for is exactly that part of it: “Like That”.
I’m trying to glean from the few off hand comments about “50% here” and “50% there” what settings I’m going to need to apply come 3/10 to put me at a place where I’m at today, which is everyone else’s default…plus the -useOldFoV.
Yes, I could just wait and see, but I hate when a change such as this happens (in any game, not necessarily this one), where it puts you in a place where you either can’t play, or are uninterested in playing or can’t function properly, until some kind soul comes along after the fact (hours? the next day?) with some settings and screen shots and guides on how to fix it, or put it where it needs to be, yada yada, etc.
They talked about it, in passing, in the Ready Up. They even through out some real numbers. Clearly, that guy ‘knows’ exactly what all the sliders and settings and doo hickeys and knobs and weights and measures need to be set at to mimic what we have today…plus the -useOldFoV.
How about a little ‘clarification’ post or blog with some of that so we can hit the ground running 3/10?
I see a lot of adjustment types listed, except the ability to fine tune how far the camera moves on the dolly each time you ‘click’ a mouse wheel roll.
Still, I agree with butch, would be nice if it turns out true.
I do wish there were smaller, more elegant looking axes to play with on my new Necro. The starter axes are nice and small, but not very elegant.
Though, it’s that way with a lot of weapons. After some of the beginning weapons, they start becoming Popeye’s forearms and fists, surfboards and med-evil floor lamps. Gaudy, I suppose is the word I’m looking for.
If I say they break my immersion or don’t seem healthy and appropriate in cut scenes or anywhere in the world, do they get removed? I think that’s how it works?
This is the second time I’ve seen this in a month.
3-4 naked people running around doing something that cause candy corns to spawn, and they kill them all, and then run off again as a group to the next “culling”.
Grand Barrier Isle in Bloodtide Coast.
What is that all about?

Rule 4: Do not post a picture unless you have solved the previous one or there have been three votes agreeing that the previous picture is unreasonably vague.
From the first post.
Ah Ok, thanks. Guess I have some work to do.
Have some ideas where to look. The one I came up with isn’t going to be too hard to find I don’t think. It’s just something I never stood on before and then remembered this post and thought I’d get a picture.

Am I the only one around here who doesn’t want those animations back? During the stretching animation, the textures looked stretched around the armpits. During the head scratching animation, half of my hands disappeared in my brain… They were very ugly.
If they made idle and running animations character traits like hair, and let us apply them, then you could not have them, and I could. We both win. They could also make new animations (flipping a coin, flexing, etc) that people might buy to apply to their characters. Or, purchase running/walking animation variants.
That would be OK, right? You most likely are watching your own character, and wouldn’t be upset to see someone else’s character stretching, even if it made textures look off (never noticed that myself)?
Yeah the “attent 2 games” achievement should be replaced by “win 2 games”…that way ppl would actually put a little bit more effort to it.
I’d be fine with that as long as there was another ‘third’ option. There’s already a wins option for people that like that level of challenge, and you don’t really have a lot of control over whether you will win or not (at least I don’t), so that would be take me several hours to luck into two wins.
The only time I suicide (or offer to) is if there are like 2-3 people there and not really any sort of game going on. Or, I join a game that’s 320-40, and there are two people on my team, and I’m one of them.
If it’s the beginning of the game, or I join a game that’s less than a 200 point spread, I try as best I can, usually trying to shadow someone else. I’m not very good at it.
You do realize you can use your own tracks in game right?
I actually didn’t know you could do this either.
Now I can make GW2 sound like a professional sporting event by playing ‘Crazy Train’ every 2 minutes.
I’m confused as to why this would be better than the flag system currently in place? Not even discussing how it completely removes any motivation to actually IMPROVE you JP skills….
The achievement is the motivation. If I can’t improve, I won’t get to the coin and get the achievement.
Making us pay on each attempt just adds a Whitelord Von McWhitington of the Connecticut Von McWhitington layer that isn’t really necessary.
Dying from falling doesn’t incur repair (even back when we paid for repairs). The nearest waypoint should be free after falling to your death.
If you can figure out how to travel across the entire map of Tyria by falling to your death and rezzing at the nearest waypoint for free, more power to you.
I like jumping puzzles. Love trying to complete them. Would be willing to try 7,236 times per gold coin.
What makes it not fun is having to pay 1c or more per port each time a jump fails (much less 1s ??c).
I played BWE1 and 3 and started right away on day one and remember having ‘so’ much trouble with some of the story fights early on, mostly because I didn’t understand how to move and cast and how to dodge. My first/main was/is a staff elementatlist.
As much as we make fun of the ‘learn to dodge area’, I could have used that.
I had to read that 3-4 times to understand what you were asking, and now that light hath dawned over Marblehead, it’s a fun idea. All my alts are out in the world, but I suppose if they were ‘coming and going’ instead of always all there, it would be interesting.
I just wish there were more things to do at home that would make it worth my while to spend more time there. As it stands now, I’d be surprised if I noticed them.
As I said last time this was suggested: I concur, with one large caveat. Don’t make the outfits look just like the current tonics. Some of the combinations are just … odd. Either solicit suggested combinations from the player base or go back to the (now archived?) threads with pictures submitted of town clothes to get ideas for looks people enjoyed having.
On top of that if it’s possible to hide shoulders and gloves on outfits, or at the very least sub in whatever headpiece we want, that would go a long way to restoring the old freedom of appearance. Not all the way, but still worth the doing.
Yeah
Here’s a khaki shorts tonic! And we matched it with a space suit chest piece and some fishing waders for boots!

If they refuse (I know they say can’t, but that’s kitten litter, it’s desire, which…is sadly why they got rid of it in the first place, because it wasn’t healthy and appropriate ™, even though they made it to begin with, like the running and idle animations) to bring back the mix-n-match system, then let me design my own outfit out of the old pieces, pick my 4 color channels and, submit it. I’ll pay for it, Bernie, if I must.
Gliders just a worse version of flying mount
in Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns

As someone who played ArcheAge for a few months (before throwing in the towel after trying to carve out a PvE niche that would be fun, which ends up not working so well if you’d like to do a ‘little’ PvE content beyond 30), I had the initial frustration of not being able to just fly forever (learned that one the best possible way to learn it, it’s really quite funny when you hear yourself spontaneously let our your best Darth Vader imitation), but afterwards.
But soon after, really began to appreciate the mechanics of it, planning how far you can go, how much altitude you’d need to land, considering how much fall damage you could take if you might not make it, moving from mountain to mountain, etc. There is a lot more ‘flying’ with gliding than flying in something like, say, WoW, which is really just swimming in the air.
I’m looking forward to their implementation (and twists) on how that will work, and am excited to see how a very vertical zone will work out. Get some use out of those map layers other than The Grove.
That’s where I’m at too.
Guess on a brighter note, it’ll get fixed a lot quicker than if I was the only person with a character that couldn’t load.
