Gibson.4036 Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 (edited) Now that we have butlers and maids, we need swimsuits for a high end pool party. Some of the swimsuit looks could include light wraps and beach kimonos people wear while lounging. Some large sun hats, too. Also, as @GamerOnline.3650said, novelty beach lounge chairs.

kharmin.7683 Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 Be careful what you wish for. You'll end up with swimsuit outfits with garish shoulders and butt-capes. Probably some weirded out snorkel or scuba mask with horns. 1 5 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in a rare fit of optimism I'll keep my hope we can get (at least) some of the stuff NPCs already have. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zebulous.2934 Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 Actually we did have "town clothes" at one point. Then they turned those into endless tonics, and finally into outfits. I am not sure how they were implemented the first time, because I could wear those little devil horns while in town clothes. When I used a lvl 80 boost on one of my old characters they must have had town clothes in their slots. I opened that safety box, they give you when they force you into the lvl 80 gear, and there was a set of old clothes but they could not be equipped and they were grey quality and without stats. I vaguely remember that you could only wear town clothes in safe zones, and automatically reverting to armor when you left. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those outfits had some bad choices too with those fat-thigh pants locked to most of them and bad choices of shoes (especially for Sylvari~ human casual shorts and shirt and... plant feet? why?) I used to use a town clothes outfit of just the shorts and no shirt or shoes with the boxing gloves but they merged a poorly put together outfit with them for some reason. Boxers dont wear shirts o.o Plus that was closest thing to a beach outfit. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure it was when you went into combat mode, not when you left "safe zones" as I have a very specific memory of switching to town cloths and the wizards hat while working on that Spiral jumping puzzle very early on (like the first couple months of GW2's life). I'd only be automatically switched to my armor if I took damage or attacked something. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eekasqueak.7850 Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 This is less silly than some existing outfits so I don't see a reason why not. 8 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see how these two have anything to do with each other though? Changing tents in select areas still seem like the best solution here for me.

Gryphon.2875 Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 Just think of the sales... Not just the swimsuit outfit / skins, but also adding more tattoos to the makeover kits, to show off in your new swimmies! 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Labjax.2465 Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 The fact they did a maid/butler outfit before swimsuits gives weight in my mind to the explanation that having an outfit on each different rig that shows that much skin would give them fits (on a technical level). With some armors where mixing and matching allows you to show more skin than you'd otherwise be able to see, you can see where it's getting wonky if you look closely. And if you look at skimpier outfits in the game, the consistent pattern that I've observed is covering those parts where it would connect at bottom and top. Starborn is the one exception I can think of and it has a special texture to cover the skin. Very sus to me. 🤨 My bet is that if we ever do get swimsuits, those divides in the texture will be something you can see if you look closely and anet will whistle innocently and hope no one notices. Or they will make it a one piece swimsuit and then pretend not to hear feedback asking for a two piece. Happy to be proven wrong by them in the future, but I got my doubts.... 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kharmin.7683 Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 So after the maid/butler release should we now expect gender-neutral swimsuits? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do no fear the Nord mankini. I am sure that there are folks who would like actual shorts for female characters instead of that kaki thing. Go ahead and make bikini for male and female and separate swim shorts for both as well. If they can't bear to make a two piece, a leotard would work, so long as males can wear it too. 2 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the rules boil down to bikinis for all or bikinis for none, then I will side with bikinis for all. I suspect swimsuits are locked behind some social technicality.

I...I...don't understand...has what most people wear to the beach changed drastically all of a sudden? Do the males of all ages not mostly wear trunks and sometimes speedos, and the females of all ages not mostly wear one and two pieces? Unless this is no longer reality what....I don't know that I understand what you mean by "locked behind some social technicality" or "the gender norms that were preventing swimsuits from being added".😵 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you be upset if they were? Last I checked, every gender IRL has the ability to wear shorts, a one piece, a bikini, or a wet suit. ArenaNet has shown that they're alright with deviating from gender norms when it comes to clothing (maid outfit is the latest, but there have been previous instances of this) - so would it really be that surprising to see it applied to swim garments? They're just clothes. And honestly, even if all we get after 10 years is the 'expected' selection (trunks/bikinis/onesies/wet suits assigned to the usual genders) I still think a lot of people would be happy. Apart from 'me no like it', I genuinely do not understand the opposition. 3 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time I checked, people don't "randomly" do any of the following: ride dragons ride bipedal reptiles ride floating manta rays use magic murder bandits are giant cats with horns are made out of plants wear full sets of heavy armour Yet all of that is possible in GW2. So, by your very own logic, people should be fine "randomly" walking around in swimsuits in GW2. Edited October 15, 2022 by Fueki.4753 8 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
