Fashion Wars! Guild Wars 1 Armor Skins


Recommended Posts

I would pay big $$$ to have more of these added into the game as gem store items or earnable rewards. 

Just sayin' 😄

I can appreciate what they're trying to do with the new art direction we've seen in some of the later releases, even though it's really not my cup of tea. I really love and miss the old armor styles we used to get with GW1 and even back in core GW2 days.

Ah so everyone get same nr of skins on each race, yea expect that to happen in 2030 then bud.

Oh, I agree! Spread that armor amor! I'm sure an enterprising, industrious, and above all else, innovative dev team could find a way to make more armors (and hairdos, and facial hair, and various other cosmetic stuff) for everybody. Plus, I don't see why we couldn't have some cultural crossovers. Appreciation, not appropriation! Just think how awesome an asura would look in that cool Ritualist mummy armor. Just think!

The limitation of having all armor except culturals be always available for all races was one of the greatest limiters on armor system. Notice, that it was exactly that expectation that killed on arrival their original idea of having all npc armor available for players. The armor system and game *was* designed for that (NPCs were made from the beginning to use the same armor system as players do), but it was never actually enabled due to npc looks usually being made for specific race (and gender) only.

I agree with you. If it exists, it shouldn't be a huge lift to just release it! More things are always welcome!

It would be a nice change of pace. I really miss GW1's focus on high fashion and class identity, which really set it apart from the over-the-top aesthetics of most other fantasy games. By comparison most of the armor in GW2 just seems like some 1000% extra, completely non-functional character design you'd find on DeviantArt or something. Give me more Elite Kurzick Mesmer and Elite Vabbian Ritualist and less whatever the kitten Jade Tech or Canthan Ritualist are supposed to be.
