Elonian Elementalist Outfit not armor set

I really love the new outfit and I instantly bought it.I‘m kinda disappointed though that they didn’t release it as armor set, I really wish I could wear the chaos gloves to match my Gw1 look.I don’t see why it is too difficult to release outfits like these (especially when they show so much skin) as armor sets...

but yeah, this game desperately needs more armours not one-piece cashgrabs.

it is really good, but vabbian armor would've been so much better, especially with the huge, amazing shiny headgear jewels it had

However, keep in mind they need to make...how many sets of armor for this game? 15, I do believe that takes a lot more work than you think, but if not, why not give it a whirl yourself, then when you've done the work you can sell it to ArenaNet.

It IS difficult, they have said so a few times. But that is not the problem. The problem is making outfits is easier AND gives them the same or more money.So, as long as people continue buying outfits as you just did, they will NOT make more armor.

There have been a few offers from some 3D artists in the past. Some cheap, some free. Anet seems to have a policy that prevents them from accepting external 3D works. So no, there is no point on freelances making good armor for Anet.

This is what they’ve said about fans making armor. (Emphasis is mine)

Regina BArmor is one of the most expensive things in the game to create. Armor is complicated and needs to be created with many considerations in mind, and these considerations may not be easily apparent or describable to fan armor designers. It isn't a bad idea to run a contest like this, but it's many orders more involved than other types of contests, which may be a better use of our limited development and marketing resources. We always have to weigh the pros and cons of any type of contest based on our marketing goals.(Snip: discussion on emotes)

I was making a point that it's not as easy as that poster makes it out to be nor is it worthwhile...a business is a business, regardless of what that business is and they all have to make money unless they're non-profit. Also, in this case, the money made from the outfits goes to further implement new content and a multitude of other improvements to the game...so which do you think should be emphasized? That which can be used to continue development and can be made at more than one or two items per year(ooutfits), or that which is more time and cost consuming and you'd probably only get one or two items of per year and reduces other potential content(armor).

Especially Female Necro Vabbian. My first GW2 necro wants to wear the same armour her Istani ancestor / namesake wore during Nightfall.

Idd, i dont mind clipping unless its in the armor it self and its extreme. Who the fuck cares if it clips with a diff set, lemme mix n match how i like ;-;

They have so many opportunities to make me buy skins and they throw each one with these outfits. Oh well.

Outfits are easier and faster to be made so they milk them. It's not going to change. We see such threads since 2014.

They can very well release a light armor or a heavy armor or a medium armor. I dont need 3 sets. Its the same armor placed differently on diff races, with maybe a small number od tweaks.

Lets not act like a heavy wore by a charr is a completely diff set from the same heavy being wore by a human.

I get wanting to mix and match, but the plus side to outfits is that EVERYONE can wear them. Otherwise this would be limited to the 3 light armor classes. In general I prefer armor skins, but outfits do have a vital and important place in game. Love this outfit.

Yeah, I have my Scourge and Weaver wearing the Pirate Captain's outfit, because it's the only way my light armor classes can wear actual pants. Not pants with little short butt skirts, or robes, or dresses, or miniskirts, etc (you get the point).......just pants.

EDIT: Although I would prefer more armor skins, I guess I have to stick with this for the time being.

Solution stoo buying outfits as long bought they will be made

I hope my tailor will soon learn the art to make individual clothing pieces from the current outfits.

People won't stop buying them cause...

One thing I don't like about outfits I can't get the shoulder effects from either Nightfury or winters presence.. or make it so it does show up =p

and of course there's always a piece of the outfit that usually kills the rest.. like funky pair of boots or gloves or hanging cloths

the only exception seems the Rogue Balthazar's outift, the only one without a 'comic style' part.

If they were going to release it as armor, it'd have been part of PoF.

I don't know why "outfits in the gem store, armor sets in-game" is such a hard concept for people to grasp, it's been their policy for literally years.

@Gambino.2109 said:and of course there's always a piece of the outfit that usually kills the rest..

Like:facial/toe-claw clippingCreepy facesRolled-in-a-junkpile aesthetic

Bandit, Champion, and Slayer respectively...

At least for once they made something sexy while showing a lot of skin where no one give a frak.Close Anet but again not deserving of my wallet, but I was tempted too much bra garnish. :p

For pete's sake!! I will BUY armour pieces!! I'm sure others would too.

this^i actually like this outfit so i converted gold that i wasn't using in order to buy it,i refuse to spend money on outfits but i would gladly empty my wallet for more armour!!!

I understand that armor skins take more time and resources and whatever but sometimes we get new gloves/helms/boots/shoulders separately (you know, Toxic Gloves, Foefire Greaves and so on). Why don't they make some chest pieces and pants too? Just a few ones per year at a higher price. Instabuy! I desperately need some pants that don't look like bulky metal skirts. I've been wearing the Aetherblade pants since forever. :astonished:

I think they should at least release the footwear from this outfit as an armor piece.
