KindredPhoenyx.8976 Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 This will probably get moved elsewhere but I've been enjoying my newest cap hat irl of late and it got me thinking: we only have one skin of this type and it removes all hair on characters. I'd like to see a version where we have hair. <_< 1 3 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, crazy. Idk, one of the fun things about magitech fantasy is that you can have people in high tech armour, steampunk, robes, buttcapes, trenchcoats, edgy metal plate, tight leather or even peasant clothing that resembles modern clothing.

I stopped caring about seriousness in this game when GW2 turned into FFXIV halfway through EOD (we even have an outfit that lets you be a miqo'te now). I may as well get with the times.

Bealis.6023 Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 By all means, at least I will have a reason to set Character model quality to lowest and spare my pc of some processing power. Whatever you'll be wearing you'll just be another brown cape person to me anyway. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing of this really matters. However "just buy your truth" doesn't sit right with me. Is it the way things go in the world? Sadly yes. If you have the means, you can just buy everything. You buy the news to sell the truths to put the politicians into power which can be bought to do what you want. But just because things are the way they are, doesn't mean that they have to be that way and much less that they are good they way they are. If a company decides to not compromise on their aesthetic consistency, there is nothing to buy that compromises it, no matter the math. I know that we have passed that point years ago, don't worry. I just wish we hadn't and would wish for the future to not go any further into this direction. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prior to Scarlets destruction of it it was a rich city built out of the decks and hulls of the boats that inhabited LA before the waters rose and swallowed up the old city. AFTER Scarlet's War, LA turned into....I don't know what you would even call it now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShadowKatt.6740 Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 2 hours ago, Linken.6345 said: concrete theme park? No. Well, yes, kinda. Actually I meant the architecture. The architecture in LA is very good, I won't lie and say it's not. The octopus bank, the stingray airship dock, the lobster naval dock, the jellyfish plaza, it's all very pretty. But it doesn't belong in Guild Wars. Compare LA to every other location in the game. The classical architecture in Divinities Reach, the industrial architecture in the Black Citadel. The timber and fur buildings in Hoelbrek, the living buildings in the Grove, the magitech in Rata Sum, all of it very purpose built, logically in line with what that race values. Then we have LA, post Scarlets War, which looks like something ripped straight out of the Magic Kingdom in Disney World, yeah. It has no grounding in any race, any culture, it doesn't represent anything. It's garish in its colors, yet bland in it's materials (as you pointed out). It looks so out of place in the rest of the game, and it happened a LONG time ago way before we had maid uniforms or cat bois or any of the other things people in this thread are complaining about. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like a bunch of ships piled on top of each other, in fact. LA was never really part of Kryta, it was always an "international" port-hub city. There really wasn't any of that sort of unifying aesthetic anyway, except maybe "shipwrecked pirate." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LA is in Kryta, it was basically the heart of Kryta, but neverminding that. Old LA represented history, and the new LA...is just an eyesore. Irrelevant I suppose though, since nothing will ever change it now, and unfortunately if/when we get a GW3, I'm afraid it will probably be the design of the future. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
