Danikat.8537 Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Yes. Same for showing off sylvari glow and patterns and norn tattoos. I wouldn't want any of my characters to be completely naked, but some more options to show off charr fur patterns would be nice. For me bare arms and shorts with shoes that don't go up to the knee (or sandals, so it's just straps round the leg) would be enough, but even that's hard to come by. For my male thief there's 4 options for bare arms, 1 of which is the starter armour (Rawhide Vest) and 2 are otherwise quite bulky (Drover Coat and Forgeman Jacket). That leaves the Corsair Jerkin. There's also a few with 1 arm bare and one fully covered but that's not much of a choice. There's no options for bare legs, except using the invisible boots, because all the others go right up to the knee and there's no trousers which don't cover everything else. Outfits are a bit better. The wedding and cook's outfits both do a good job showing the fur pattern without actually being revealing. Oddly the Elonian Elementalist outfit which is very revealing on humanoid races doesn't show much on charr. There's t-shirt and shorts outfits of course, but aside from the Seize the Awkward one they're hard to get hold of. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kharmin.7683 Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 I play neither charr nor sylvari; however, I would like to see more armor that shows more skin for all races but not necessarily in a risque manner. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kharmin.7683 Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 I don't necessarily agree with that assessment. A player can put a lot of work into a charr or sylvari only to have the bulk of their appearance covered by armor/outfits. Charr fur patterns and/or sylvari glow patterns are almost irrelevant because they are pretty much never seen other than at character creation. I think having armor/outfits that help to showcase these patterns isn't an unreasonable request. 11 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moony.5780 Posted August 23, 2021 Author Share Posted August 23, 2021 If its bad for charr to wear revealing armor, then why are cats outside on the streets allowed to walk around freely without pants and pullover? 😛 Also there are some official charr artwork that are not showing charr in a potatobag only. I'm not saying that there should be even more naked female humans running around...There r so many already of them...so why can't a war cat show their fur? They don't get a cold...

Farohna.6247 Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Sure, I'd be interested in seeing some armor for my charr just to show off some fur patterns. Mine have full armor on, except where you can see some toesies and face, but it would be nice to have some that had a cutout or something to see some of the color and pattern. Agree that would be universally true for other races, just a hint of it, not another giant Norn woman in booty shorts. Besides ever try to put a cat in a sweater? Me either. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibson.4036 Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Hearty agreement on more revealing armor. I have loved Sylvari bioluminescence from the very beginning of this game, and there are a tiny number of female skins that show it, and an even tinier number of male. Even among the "skimpy" armors, it's often the back that is covered (where there is bioluminescence) and the stomach that is revealed (where there is none). I don't care much for playing Charr for various reasons, but the only thing that would get me to do so would be seeing more of their fur patterns, which are amazing. Love the mottling on the Asura, too, though it's largely covered up as well. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doggie.3184 Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 (edited) All races need this though, I mean FFXIV does it~ you have access to it as early as Lv.15 when you unlock the 'wardrobe' and can freely hide any armor piece... and they are the critically acclaimed MMORPG with award winning expansions so it certainly only enhanced the game's enjoyment rather than destroy the planet like Anet thinks would happen. As a Sylvari though I am jealous of the Charr T3 Male racial for medium, it's literally the one and only revealing chest piece for male medium. Sylvari also have effects and patterns we can't show off, plus we're trees anyways. When have you seen a tree wear clothes before? If I went outside and saw a pine tree with a giant trenchcoat covering the whole thing I'd be so confused.

Calvsie.3675 Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Got to wear gloves and boots. everything else should proudly show your fur, horns and muscles. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueJin.4127 Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 (edited) Norn (tattoos), Charr (fur types), and Sylvari (body type and glow) could really use some racial armors that can show off their unique designs. Just hiding their armor does jack since the rags they wear generally don’t match other armor pieces.

ChronoPinoyX.7923 Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 The fact that they didn't include more armour sets with less clothing on them when they literally made near naked Necros and Monks back in GW1 is beyond me. All the effort to make these unique elements of racial characteristics just goes out the window with most of the armour they designed. Being able to hide more pieces of armour would be one way to alleviate this and we already know they can do it since they do it with Head, Shoulders and Gloves, but I also think they should design armour with more nuanced pieces of clothing on it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, the good old Elite Scar speedo outfit. And I miss the (non-elite) luxon chest piece my (male) assassin wore which was just small body armor ninja-vest without a buttcape in sight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babak.3654 Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 I'd be very happy to see more appropriate cosmetics and armor choices for Charr. In fact I'd probably have the character run around naked rather than wear half of the skins available that look laughably bad on them. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moony.5780 Posted August 26, 2021 Author Share Posted August 26, 2021 (edited) https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Charr In the official wiki page for charr, 6 pictures out of 10 shows some fur in the gallery (not counting the cute baby charr in). 6 out of 10?...and what options do we have ingame???

Gehenna.3625 Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 I always wondered...the Charr have so much armor on, they most get really warm in there. It would explain their not-so-sunny disposition, so from that pov, I'm for this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranky wo Coffee.5914 Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 (edited) All Races should have to ability to show more, so many interesting personal character details lost by armor. *edit: Secretly waiting for Necromancer Scar Pattern from GW. 😉 Edited August 26, 2021 by UnDeadFun.5824 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danikat.8537 Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 It does seem wrong that our charr can have bear arms, but most of them can't have bare arms. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xanadrine.4352 Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 What i really hate is that the armor skins are completely different on my asura than my human. Most look nothing alike, take for example masquerade https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Masquerade_armor on both charr and asura is looks bad no revealing areas like on the human, no gown effect. If it looked the same on as on human it would show patterns nicely, even norn and sylvari get the full effect and can show off their tats and patterns.

Yeah, they pretty much punted with female Asura and Charr when they just decided to throw male armor on them. I like the overall choice in the design of the characters not to have human-like dimorphism, but defaulting to male armor leads to a lot of lost opportunity. I guess it would have required designing a whole third look for each set, though. Edited August 26, 2021 by Gibson.4036 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same with the charr females I would love to see a charr female ele in a backless version with the gown, you can see her fur pattern then, and tell she is female right off the bat. My asura has a pattern down her back I would like to see it because i made her that way for a reason. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
