Yes that "kind of looks like underwear" can and is also one of the swimwear types whether you like it or not. 🤷♂️ 😐You're messing with me. You have to be. Not 'looks like underwear'. It is underwear.

Also it's funny how you think that looks weird, but going into battle in swimsuit or panties doesn't 🙄 Edited October 4, 2022 by Sobx.1758 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altonese.6542 Posted October 4, 2022 Author Share Posted October 4, 2022 You can go to battle in a wedding gown, a chef's outfit, a weird set of fairy clothing, -in- your underwear if you're doing pvp. But woah, swimsuits, in battle? That's the kicker? Also it's not a 'I think it looks weird'. It looks weird. If you're down to start a tighty-whitey trend at the beach in your local area? You do it, valid, but, until then. 4 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to say maybe 25-40% of this thread has been mostly that from the same 2-3 people. Assuming they were being genuine was your first mistake. Your second was not wearing sunscreen during the Four Winds Festival. It's been a while since the thread got rolling though, so I'm curious if you've had any new thoughts regarding swim and water stuff now that new features and technologies (Skiff, Fishing, Jade Bot, tea table, multi-person mounts, etc.) have been added to the game since you first opened the request. Do you still just want the Kasmeer and Faren looks or would you be down for a bigger selection? With ArenaNet tiptoeing back into the practice of releasing armor skins instead of just outfits, I think the summer of 2023 would be a great time to release a heckload of different styles based on the five races of Tyria (capable of being worn by any of them for max sales). Crafting an entire armor set has been said to be time-consuming for them, but swimwear is so minimal, I can see the company artists easily getting it done. If they can put out the overdesigned outfits they've been making for the past year and a half, a bikini, onesie, wetsuit, or shortjohns should be nothing in terms of effort. All arguments against adding them have been pretty well defeated by the fact that NPCs as recently as EoD and the most recent festival are already wearing them, so it's just down to opinions and waiting for ArenaNet to make the next move. I see you reading this thread, Rubi, and I hope you are taking notes. 📝 1 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zebulous.2934 Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 Ignore Sobx's bait, he just wants the thread closed for bickering. This is possibly the largest, and oldest, single topic thread on the forums, it would be quite the feather in his cap if he could kill it. Sobx may also genuinely want to deny swimsuits, but all of the points he brings up have been brought up in this thread before. They were also addressed fairly swiftly at the time. This thread is a pro swimsuit thread. Discussing the implementation of swimsuits and swimsuit like alternatives is the focus. Responding to purely negative bait can only harm the longevity of the thread. 10 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, this thread is someone asking for a swimsuit, at no point everyone is bound to agree with that, what a weird idea.

Madam Pussycat.6153 Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 Water activities has become a much more popular thing since fishing and boating became a thing in gw2. It seems like a swimming suit and casual day at the ocean/lake wear line of clothing would and should have been here already. It's very immersion breaking to be chilling out on the water relaxing and fishing and enjoying the sun light and fresh air while wearing a big bulky constricting and overly concealing uncomfortable looking armor. And no, we shouldn't have to resort to wearing our underwears, not only are they undyeable and hideous but it just looks tacky. 4 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Greyhawk.9107 Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 (edited) 15 hours ago, Altonese.6542 said: Though I do find Anet's current trends interesting. When did a liberal company get so conservative in their styling. 👀 Liberal might not apply any longer to a significant or at least more vocal portion of people beyond Left-of-Center, least that's how it seems. More pertinent is the fact that the gaming industry as well other areas of Western entertainment has been coming under the influence of the faction of Progressive/Feminism that amusingly have come to have Puritanesque views on how women should be portrayed in media (and real life to some degree I'd have to imagine) and in some more extreme cases outright reject or try to subvert the commonly accepted beauty standards for women (and want society to do the same). Some people might call this an example of horseshoe theory. Oh, and also going to through my hat into this side of the "debate": underwear is NOT a style of swimwear, its not meant to be worn in water like that, not only in regards to comfort but also in regards to....modesty. Trying to use underwear instead of swimwear in some places, particularly when wet and especially if an adult male, would get you arrested for public indecency.

That doesn't change much about my response in the context of what I've quoted. I'm not somehow trying to blame you for having a lot of posts here (although as far as I remember, at some point you were just constantly "bumping" it for no good reason and it sure wasn't discussing anything), I'm pointing out that "it's a big thread!" doesn't mean much -if anything- when there are mostly 2-3 people going at it with a sole purpose of actually making it bigger by random bumps. 🤷♂️ 14 hours ago, Altonese.6542 said: Anyway, there very much is a ton of desire out there to see swimsuits implemented!

Fishing has our characters interact more with the water... and that has nothing to do with swimsuits considering that's not the usual angler/fisherman dress code. Angler vest is already in the game though. Edited October 5, 2022 by Sobx.1758 2 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibson.4036 Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 I know we've talked several times in this thread about the beach at Southsun, but I just realized I don't think we've ever talked about Lion's Arch. With LA's Seaworld rebuild, it'd be the perfect place for families to enjoy a day of sun and swimming. We know the local fauna is not hostile, unlike Southsun and many other places in the world. The beach in the southwest of Farshore ward would be a perfect swim beach. It no longer houses refugees, and there's already a family that plays there. We could have a couple beach changing tents, and maybe a little kiosk selling a few of the many varieties of ice cream available in the game. NPCs wearing the new swimsuits available to players in the cash shop could be added to advertise. We've had a couple of last, pleasant days this year where I am in Michigan, but the days are getting longer and winter will be here before we know it. I'd so look forward to a beach party come February when all is dark and cold IRL. 5 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets put the changing tents on those beaches where the players can remain with the changed look within those specific "sandy" zones, returning to the regular appearance when they go out of their bounds. 1 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GamerOnline.3650 Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 (edited) It's been 10 years and we still don't have beachwear outfits or swimsuits. Those T-Shirts and Shorts outfits come close. All we need are flops instead of boots/shoes. Maybe a sun hat. Gotta look good while sitting in those new Beach Chairs (multiple colors, collect them all). Get those beach emotes going. Drink a soda, have an ale. Sip it, chug it. Get drunk, swim funny (lose health while swimming and drown). Burp, puke, let it all out! I think today is Random Thoughts Day. These have been some of them. 😄 Edited October 12, 2022 by GamerOnline.3650 5 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
