chripsy.1027 Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 95% of the armour in this game looks horrendous. Look at the newest armour set they have designed. The Ancient Ritualist. Go ahead and take a look. What is it. What IS it. whatisit. What.Is.It. WHATISIT! 22 6 4 16 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linken.6345 Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 Is it a armor or an outfit? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayHog.3280 Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 90% of the outfits look weird, that's for sure. Shame I have to wait for the magical outfit to get back in rotation, had a character planned around it... 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xelqypla.6817 Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 I've seen a few people run parts of that set with foot and hand wraps with a bandana. What's the issue? 6 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 (edited) So, choose Medium or Heavy, instead. 🤷♂️ Or, if you will insist on playing Light Armor characters only, choose some of the hundreds of other Light armor items (like Jade Tech or Monastery).

The Greyhawk.9107 Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 Ironic, the medium version of the armor that OP is having an aneurysm over is probably the only set from EoD that I like. I have my own criticism of the armors in GW2, especially in the most recent few years, but 95% goes beyond merely hyperbolic and into absurdity and spurious. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farohna.6247 Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 I actually like the medium armor skin. Lol so don't use it if you don't like it, meh. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westenev.5289 Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 Monastery armor is outside the norm for this game - it looks like a medium set of armor without the tacky decorations that must take 2 hours to put on, and is available on all armor weights. Jade Tech and Antique armors are also outside of the norm, being somewhat functional armors that don't contain excessively bulky add ons. I'm somewhat okay with the haul of armors the expansion delivered with EoD - even if I'm not happy with the ancient armours. 3 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freya.9075 Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 The armors you find horrendous other players love. It’s a matter of taste and preferences. Choose the armor you like as the rest of the players do. Fashion is not a straight path it has many branches. It’s good anet cater to most tastes when it comes to fashion. If you want to be plain, shiny, cute, spooky or silly you can find something fitting it. 9 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashen.2907 Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 Yeah it is not attractive. The chest and leg pieces mesh poorly and the dye channels seem underwhelming, and those gloves.... Too bad because a little more work on designing the whole picture for chest and leg could have produced something nice. All subjective though. 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lottie.5370 Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 Not every armour set is going to be to your own taste. The good thing is, there are literally hundreds of skins in this game. Personally I quite like some of the new skins and have definitely used them on my characters, though not usually as a full set, and some of them look a bit weird on human female, but I enjoy them on Asura/Charr. 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zebulous.2934 Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 Ah! We do, indeed, all have different tastes. Simple is good. fewer bells and whistles is good. I prefer either more skin shown, and/or form fitting "armor" that showcases a character's physique. I support chest windows for both male and female characters! and leggings! By all means! Reduce the amount of decorative trash hanging from armor, it obstructs the view. 1 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holgarf.6581 Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 They have loads. They usually make skins for sale in the gem-store. You want the best looking stuff in the store of course. 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ardhikaizecson.3697 Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 I like the heavy and medium armor, especially the medium as it's tight and show body shape of my characters without revealing their skin. 5 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zera.9435 Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 They don't even need to hire anyone. All they need to do is bring all the GW1 armor skins into this game. There's like 100 different armors there. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe an idea for Living Story. Too bad we're getting season 1 first. Edit: part of the problem is the character models though. A lot of armors just look bad or funky depending on the character models and which race you are as well. A lot of the outfits use magical starch for the front and back flaps.

Since we are nit picking, he said skins, not complete armor sets of a specific weight class. Many skins I'll think "who would wear such an ugly..." then eventually come around to finding a decent look for it. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosiep.9128 Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 Most of the sets are fine, but I will agree that the medium ancient set has an issue where they're evidently trying to make lit look like a body suit but somehow managed to overlook that the patterns on the leggings and chest don't align with each other and make it look wonky. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danikat.8537 Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 I like some pieces, especially the light armoured top for male characters (not too fancy and allows bare arms) and the medium top which is one of relatively few that don't go below the waist. I doubt I'd use the whole set together on any character, but I don't think I've ever used a matching set since I like experimenting with different combinations. I was disappointed that the medium top isn't like the light one though, because it would be perfect for my charr thief. I was also disappointed that the light head piece isn't available as heavy armour because the blindfold and helmet combo would be perfect for revenants. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faccina.5091 Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 they should at least let us mix light/medium/heavy and no i dont belive that "impossibiru cuz the mesh is cut differently" because theres some that looks exaclty the same on all 3 weight like the metal legion shirt, abbandon mask, etc... 1 1 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syvaris Laskaris.5247 Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 (edited) About half the armors in the game look like someone had a decent Set drawn up about 50% way through the drawing but just refused to stop and ended up adding 50 spikes, flaps, increased the scale on random bits. Another problem is the translating of the armors into the game, compare the concept art of Heavy Illustrious: https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/File:Ascended_armor_concept_art1.jpg with what you actually end up with ingame: https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/File:Illustrious_armor_(heavy)_human_male_front.jpg Heavy Bounty Hunter is honestly astounding with how a handful of wrong choices turns what could be decent knock-off Monster Hunter gear into comical territory; why the hell is there some weird band that wraps behind the characters head? https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/File:Bounty_Hunter's_armor_(heavy)_human_male_back.jpg Edited May 15, 2022 by TheSeraphim.7413 5 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
