voltaicbore.8012 Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 I know this is just concept art and a festival-only loading screen, but every Lunar New Year this guy stabs me right in the heart. I'd really love the ability to approximate this look in game, a proper cloak with a land spear. There's just something really classic-high-fantasy-adventurer about it. In terms of cloaks, I'd even be satisfied if it required a specific set of chest, shoulders, and back to pull it off; replace any one of those three with something outside the set, and risk clipping... I'd be fine with that. Even as much as I dislike full outfits, I'd even maybe spring for one of those if that's what it takes. 8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T G.7496 Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 While we're on the subject of loading screen artifacts that cannot, once seen, be unseen, how about... Lions Arch: - the slightly pudgy bloke with his arms crossed in a blue t-shirt standing on the steps - the schoolgirl with satchel ascending said steps just beyond him - both of these, presumably, artefacts in the original contemporary image ripped and adapted to this loading image, which looks like it was a photo of the steps to a museum, perhaps in London? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main focus with the lions is a bridge in Budapest as mentioned but dont know which exact. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freya.9075 Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Ah, yes the land spear and proper cloak. It is one fitting the books of myths and conspiracies. Right beside the chapter of the mythical horse. We can all feel they exist, but no one can see them 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, given all the other priorities, I feel the same way overall. I go about most of the year not thinking about the minor land spear/cloak issue, but the thought just hits me every Lunar New Year festival. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jukhy.2431 Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 There are few staff "spear" skins like Darkspear & Sunspear, but I'd love if Anet made more of these. There are also some other bladed halberd type skins for staffs. And for that cloaked look to work seamlessly it would be best to made as an oufit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'd be far better to make it an armour set, with the cloak being part of the shoulders or an accompanying back item. Outfits are never the best option.

That's your opinion, and the operative word in my reply was 'seamlessly'. I do use quite few outfits on my toons. With fitting colors, backpack, weapon(s) and hair style it's possible to make pretty good looks with them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
