NeutralBurn.3829 Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 11 hours ago, Batel.9206 said: I'm quite happy the female charr get the male version of this armor. They'd look absolutely ridiculous with a bikini top. And the sweeping sarong would clip horribly with their legs, just like every single other piece of armor with a coat that goes below the waist. No thanks! The male version looks lovely on them. That's a fallacy. Like saying a frog would look ridiculous in a dress. Of course it would, that's not the point. You're applying human standards to a non-human. There's plenty of ways they could have given the Charr two sets of clothing, like the other races got, without giving them a bikini top. Seriously, leave "human female" standard out of it. The other races got two different sets. The Charr got one. Would have been nice two have gotten two, like the others. Even if it was just a shirt with a different pattern, or a different style of shorts. 4 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zok.4956 Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 33 minutes ago, NeutralBurn.3829 said: Sarongs, in real life, are gender neutral. It literally means "covering", and is worn by men and women. Why only females, then? Traditionally the sarong is worn by men as a kilt or women as a skirt. The "Tropical Legwear Skin" for human females looks more like a pareo. But a pareo is also traditionally worn by men and women - only in Western culture it is more commonly worn by women as beachwear. This may be the reason why Anet did it this way. Nevertheless, I agree with you, this skin (and also the hat versions) should not be gender-locked. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega.6801 Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 They should cost more. After all, they're the bestest skins ever and people were willing to pay whatever it takes for them. 😆 1 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arianth Moonlight.6453 Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 I think they should’ve offered the Tropical set as a 2-piece pack, just like the Breezy set. And then, they could sell the Beach accessories separately. Honestly, I’m not a fan of the Tropical set, but those Beach accessories? Pretty darn neat! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Effets.6739 Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 That nearly got me back into the game after a 8 year long hiatus but then i remembered the invisible shoes situation. Plus there is no "true" barechest for this set since the top has tap metallic bar around the neck. Brb in 10 years maybe when some sort of emperor set. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiof.5710 Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 I've been looking at the new swimwear and was just about to pull the trigger and buy it for my main account, but something caught my eye. The description says "single-use skins" (or words to that effect). What exactly does that mean? Is the skin only for one character and not account-wide? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The single use means that you get one use free - no transmutation charge needed for that one time. It was an odd way for them to write it but, you do get it unlocked for all characters 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Single use refers to the items you get in your inventory to apply the skin once without spending transmutation charges. But when receiving the items, they are unlocked into your skins collection, so you can use them as usual with transmutation charges. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
windyweather.1238 Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 (edited) So I'm guessing all the bikini strings have snarled up the gem purchase gears, which is why we can't actually buy this nice item. All I get are 102's.. Then the CC shows, then a 102. Overloaded with Bikini purchases are we? Edited June 27 by windyweather.1238 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zebulous.2934 Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 Trauma carried over from other games. I have certainly experienced games that didn't have a wardrobe system but did sell single use skins. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mega.5791 Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 I know, I know! We do not look at this skin. We look at smexy speedos and hot panties.🤪 But the beach hat looks kind of nice and even has a somewhat usable hair style. Unfortunately, the hair itself is simply horribly made: See the attached picture. And this is not my graphics. (Beware, my great paint skills!) https://imgur.com/a/WEgq35K Anyone else noticed this? Any chance of getting a better quality on this hairstyle? I am just a little sad.🫠 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notebene.3190 Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 Yeah I really like the hat, but the hair looked a little off on my character. Like it was hovering over the shoulders and back? I’m guessing it’s a clipping consideration, so it will work with most existing tips? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arianth Moonlight.6453 Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 yep, I don’t care for the tropical swimsuit, but I wanted the beach accessories—especially the hat—but not with that awful hair. The first hat to have hair was perfect. The one that came with the SotO pre-order was okay—I don’t like the style, but the hair itself is well done—but the beach one? Ugh… 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doggie.3184 Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 Males don't even get that hat and get a fedora so idk, can't view it from my end in-game. Meanwhile I want the cool Sephiroth male hair from the 'Neon Demon Mask' without the mask 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zebulous.2934 Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 Rather strange that a straw hat isn't an option for males. Men have been wearing straw hats since before recorded history. Besides the trilby hat has given the fedora a bad reputation. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MithranArkanere.8957 Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 I think the best way to solve this issue is either creating a smaller set of alternate hair styles, each tied tied to several existing hair styles, designed to work with hats, and adjusting hat skins to match the alternate skin, and the player model composition to switch to the alternate hair style when a hat is equipped. Maybe introduce a new makeover kit customization that allows people to select which alternate hair they want, instead of it being predetermined by the hatless skin selected. That way the bald/wig issue is avoided altogether. Something similar could be done to avoid the absurdity of removing your swimwear when using diving goggles. Have a makeover kit choice that allows you to select chest and leg swimwear skins you have unlocked as the 'default' ones, and dye them, replacing the underwear. So when you use diving goggles or the changing tent in the Four Winds Bazaar while wearing swimwear skins, you'd switch to another or the same swimwear set. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we get a female version, we KNOW it will just be a bikini stretched horribly over their non-chests. That's what a-net DOES. It's male version or cringe, pick your poison. I have 18 female charr characters, so, take it from me as well, I guess? Who said I was asking for bikini, assume-o-tron? It looks awful on female charr. Apparently you don't know despite all your females. I'm asking for alteration like a shawl, or something. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine if you will: a garment which is more practical than a cape yet neither as robust, nor as heavy, as a cloak. That is a shawl. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
