lezbefriends.7516 Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 What are your thoughts on people playing anime characters? Is it ok to do what you want, or does it break the immersion for other players? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randulf.7614 Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 I think we passed the point of immersion breaking a long time ago with many of the BL skins.I dont like the lack of identity GW2 has carved itself out at times, but if players are enjoying themselves, spending money and keeping the game alive allowing me to do my own thing, by and large I can turn a blind eye to it and accept it.If orhers wish to emulate anime, marvel or other franchises, frankly it is their right to do so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOrlyFactor.8341 Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 I don't care what other people do, even if that means them playing as anime characters. I know I don't want people telling me to have fun a certain way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ardid.7203 Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 IMO Anet should really try to get back SOME immersion. However, as long as the incorrectly called "anime style" don't become part of the canon (Like Elin, Lalafell and Miqo'te do for their respective games), I'm totally ok with people customizing their characters as they want.

In the case of the chaos gloves and celestial infusions, they used it on an NPC who has become too close to the Mists and gone insane from it. As well as two beings who apparently came from the Mists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oglaf.1074 Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 I kid you not, I saw an Asura cosplay of Louise Belcher from Bob's Burgers a while back.It was a beautiful moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oenanthe.6549 Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Partly it depends on what you class as an anime character.A while back i made a female human ranger, pink hair in that slightly wild flicked back style and pink armor, everyone who sees her comments on how anime she looks. The daft thing is I don't even like anime, I wouldn't have a clue how to make a character look anime , I just designed a character I liked the look of, and a colour scheme that is totally impractical for a ranger.So we are back to the problem of how do you stop people making anime characters if someone who doesn't watch anime can do it.

ugrakarma.9416 Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 immersion break by immersion break, there's the festival of names like "slap in my ass" and other "fun" characters names. I think all that depends on the choices of others there is not much to do, just ignore and play your game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narcemus.1348 Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 My opinion on what other people do in this game can be summed up in 3 words, "You do you." I do things how I want, you do it how you want, and we both enjoy what we do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ardid.7203 Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 I don't find chaos gloves or celestial infusions particularly anime-like (I'm talking about what people has began to describe as "anime": minimalist faces with giant eyes and no nose, dragon ball z, idols, catgirls, oversized swords, j-pop aethetics, spiky and absurd hairstyles...)

derd.6413 Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 i like the fact that so many adventurers look like they suffered braindamage from a can of paint. not every adventurer needs to look competent. and with norn i find they tend to get creative in making their legend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you mean like customizing a character's look to be anime-ish, like big eyes and weird hair colors, etc?@"Randulf.7614" said:I think we passed the point of immersion breaking a long time ago with many of the BL skins."BL Skins"? What is that? What does BL stand for, cause anime world has a definition for it but I don't think GW2 has skins that represent that, x3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henry.5713 Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Doubt there are more than a handful of skins, dyes, character customization options and names which are not seen as immersion breaking by one person or another depending on how hardcore they are. Rather have everything than have nothing as far as I am concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razor.6392 Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 How would this break anybody's immersion? Wth? How could a clueless roleplayer even recognize an anime character in the first place, and why are anime characters the only possible immersion-breaking character ideas in the game?
