What's this? New armor design without butt capes?

That wasn't so hard was it? Keep practicing at designing armor without leg drapes and you guys will achieve something beautiful ;)

IIRC there was big noise about sexualization of armor in gw2. hence buttcups and modesty straps.

I thought it was become they wanted to preserve the "silhouette" for each profession (that somehow resembles a a Disney princess for everyone)

Not everyone wants to wear a dress to combat.

Yeah if only there was a way to design non-sexualized armor without buttcapes. Damn. Well technology isn't there yet.

attaching buttcapes and stripes to ready models was an easy solution i guess. If you check couple of old designed armor don't have those. From the top of my head Krytan(medium) for example

Oh mah gaaaawd! Those armor sets look amazing! They somehow flash me more than the legendary armor sets do... which is why I'll never even try to get them.Hopefully, they are not locked behind epic amounts of mats and completing undoable metas like Serpent's Ire.

I doubt that's the case in a world where the Profane amor set exists. Or the human tier 3 medium armor on females.

To be fair it's going to be damn difficult to design a future armor set looking worse than the legendary ones. They're a case study in ugly armor design :pensive:

I laughed my ass off on the legendary armor when entering combat unveils a buttcape

I'm just wondering at what stage of development are these upgradeable armors shown in the screenshots above? I assume they are made in tiers, and I'm hoping this is not the final tier, since the medium helm looks like something you start the game with, and all of the armors look very basic/generic. If they upgrade 2-3 times and the completed result is what is show above I will be disappointed.

TLDR : I hope the screenshots are of the base model armor not the final tier.

I like them very much. No floating without wind skirts buttcapes or other nonsense.

I hope the final models don't become as overdesigned as most armor in this game. I know my hope is vain, but still...

I like them. :)

I'm not sure how many pieces I'll actually use as I like a lot of the existing armour too, but it's nice to have more choices and especially ones that don't look like the ones we've already got. Very happy about trousers for light armoured female characters especially, until now we've had precisely 1 option which doesn't also include some sort of skirt.

You get buttcapes by completing the upgrade process.... and no backsies

I hope that bottom picture is light armor, I want it on my reaper so badly! All three look amazing, I love them! :D

the only one i like is the heavy armor, finally one without a skirt.

I see a hip cape, which is pretty much a buttcape.

well obviously nobody told the person who made the flying carpet toy about that modesty thing ...

First pic appears to have a buttcape.

No?

Inb4 these are all baseforms and buttcapes trenchcoats and skirts all get added in the upgraded form.

I'm going to guess we won't be able to upgrade it this episode. So this should be the "T1" version.

Jokes on you guys. These screen shots are just the tier 1 armor. The tier 2 will have butt capes, and the tier 3 with have double butt capes.
