Nash.3974 Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 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...

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.@Zaklex.6308 said:@"Liewec.2896" said:[insert generic responses that have been debunked time and time again]"clipping!""visual weight classes!""ten million years of work!"but yeah, this game desperately needs more armours not one-piece cashgrabs.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.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.

(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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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).

zealex.9410 Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 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.

GrubySzymek.1362 Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Outfits are easier and faster to be made so they milk them. It's not going to change. We see such threads since 2014. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Udolpho.1209 Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 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.

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.

Hyper Cutter.9376 Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 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.

Hybarf Tics.2048 Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sylvari.2953 Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyr.5382 Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 I think they should at least release the footwear from this outfit as an armor piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
