Did someone request beach wear? [Merged]


Recommended Posts

Now if only we could get some HIGH heels with open toe style, not like the closed kitten heels you have now (Stylish Shoes), and a pair of dye-able headphones. 

This would be awesome.

Sounds like basic Charr experience in this game.

GOOD.

I've killed thousands of those shrooms and nothing. The drop rate is highly unreasonable.

Bare feet never had any business being the literally rarest item in the first place. That should have been adressed that years ago.

Exactly. It was a grumpy developer who was annoyed that players wanted the toggle and who therefore added the invisible shows to the game as an extremely rare drop to make fun of the players and avoid having to add the toggle.

My ideas on beach footwear...

1 - Admittedly they are not likely to allow us to go barefoot due to the invisible slippers in the game.  However, IF they were to do so, maybe they could redesign the invisible slippers with a slight glow or other invasion effect.  This would still give the slippers value and allow the rest of the gamers to have something they probably should have had all along.

2 - Since we aren't likely to get bare feet and only have sandals for beachwear, what about water shoes for the beach and underwater content?

I heard pretty much the opposite - that someone at Anet really wanted a toggle to hide shoes for their own character but was told it'd be too much work to update the UI to add another toggle, but one of the artists who model new skins liked the idea and created the invisible boots as a work-around and (because items go through a different approval channel to UI changes) those got approved and added into the game.

Interesting. It could be true. There hasn't been an "official" statement on this yet. So we don't know which version is really true. Do you have an explanation as to why, given your explanation, it has become an extremely rare drop?

I wouldn't say very likely; I don't, obviously, know what your experience might be, but in mine, it is very rare that I would see anyone wear anything this drastically thin on the beach/to a pool, and if so they would be looked at weird/sexualized.

Its nice, but where are the famous japanese styled blue school swimsuits(with number on back) or the funky victorian style blue/white striped ones... or modern streamlined surfing body suit? These options would be the  little less skimpy yet stylish version of Swimgear?

... alright, I decided to humour you, though I'm obviously not gonna watch the whole video. Skipped through the earlier section, and I'm seeing 90% of the people dressed in normal swimwear, with the occasional skimpy one. I'm not seeing your point; was it to prove mine?

Also, I believe I'm allowed to express my dislike at the potential of having scantily clad characters jumping around my screen, the same as you are allowed to freely enjoy putting anything you personally want on the character you're playing. It's a free world, after all.

With that being said, I think we've entertained this discussion ad nauseum. Enjoy your new skins, have fun.

Those actually sound great, I must admit. I would also really enjoy a full-on diving suit, with an oxygen tank backpiece and all; though that would defeat the purpose of the aqua-breather, I guess. Maybe next year?

About half of grown women on that beach wear swimsuits that is just as revealing as the swimsuits introduced in this game. Do they qualify as inappropriate or "light porn" to you? These comments you posted simply reeks of old people issues.

There's a difference between having personal preference and straight up accusations with terms of insult.

@Athef.6879 Indeed, you are thinking of the modern diving suit/scuba i recon. They could add that + the old fashioned type thick rubber diving suit with lead weighted boots and the iconic diving helmet called the "mark V". that one would be also excellent for Bioshock cosplays and what not.

@Vilin.8056Well everyone has their own taste in clothing/fashion. This is why there is variation in the looks of armor sets. There were inappropriate armorpieces in the game already, way before these beach clothing came into the picture  I get it; its beach clothing so more often its revealing  and ofcourse people wanna show "the goods" sometimes. ;Nevertheless the Devs should consider adding a few less revealing ones; for more fashion variation; otherwise gw2 is bound to look exactly like that video. Stuff like diving/surf suits etc would be equally popular.

Ofcourse you get it, didn't you just suggested Japanese Schoolgirl swimsuits?

Indeed. Hope they will add some of the other casual beach wear we have seen in the game. 😉 

This would devaluate the invisible boots drop.

 Whose drop rate that is so abyssmal that nobody can get? (Edit)  Just add a special walking aura to them and just be done with it. That way we both win.

Though, I will likely just get another set of chest and leg armor, use it as a base and swap into it that without shoes. I don't see me going into combat with just a battle bra and panties.

Not gonna lie, this is one of a few things that gets me excited in this game, not just because it's a swimsuit, but also I can imagine a few use cases with some pieces to make for a casual/modern outfit.

I have to ask, will we be getting a one-piece variant too? Or they are all two-piece bikinis? IRL I swim regularly and I would prefer a one piece swimsuit. With high cuts of course 🤭

and also hopefully the feet in those heels won't be colossal like the Stylish Shoes.

i hate my girls looking like they have man feet. 🤣

 

Edit: seems a few people have left "confused" reactions, so allow me to illuminate the issue for you,

see how much longer the feet are in heels? on the right of the image i even overlay the normal sized feet onto the heels,

and you can see the tips of the toes on the normal feet barely even reach the beginning of the toes of the heels. 🤔

Edit: seems some people are still leaving confused reactions, i'm sorry but if you're still confused after the comparison picture there is no hope for you. 😜

but hey GW2 is known as the friendliest MMO community, noone said anything about it being the brightest. 😉
