It has palm trees. And a hammock. It's definitely a portable pocket beach. 🌴 2 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure that I like carrying around my own biome. A strip of sandy sunny shore might be fun, but if it is as large as the quite woods chair, I am not sure that I would like it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugar Min.5834 Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 (edited) In my preference order : 1. An outdoor changing tent (for guild halls/non-combat zones) 2. Special dyes for undies only 3. An ACTUAL one-piece swimsuit or bikinis. Please choose one ANet 😇 And your Gem Store will run out of gems in no time. kaching kaching kaching...

There are definitely forum users who hate the idea, but ANet doesn’t. They were certainly on board if it's female characters they been running around more than half naked since launch, and then there's ultra lewd armor like Raven pants (that look like a bad unfinished mspaint texture for males). It took 10 years for male stuff for most classes but mainly cuz it's unisex/multiclass armor. Which remains ironic since males in fighting sports compete half naked without a shirt on every day IRL. (plus the irony I've stated so many times about this being only MMO with underwater combat yet only MMO without swimsuits to let us actually dress for it) 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zebulous.2934 Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 Hmm I might speculate that Anet are saving swimwear as a distraction. If they drop a really unpopular combat related patch. "Don't be mad, look swimsuits!" Except I am not sure that people who care about combat, skill rotations, alacrity, and quickness would be distracted by fashion. At least not for long. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they had been holding back swimwear for emergency cases, there'd have been plenty of times for them to release these kinds of armour skins already.

Vetkin.6041 Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 With the two scale and leather skins we got recently, there's no argument to be made anymore that swimwear would be too skimpy to implement into the game. In fact, lots of NPCs already have unique and unobtainable swimwear. Speedos, cool shorts, bikinis and more. Every few months, there's atleast one upvoted thread on the frontpage of the GW2 subreddit asking for swimwear and they did indeed listen when it came to the rugged cape, hood or even the stylish "high heel" shoes. 11 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parasite.5389 Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 (edited) can we just get something for Sylvari that isn't a fig leaf? a Casual Beachwear outfit would be great Edited August 15, 2023 by Parasite.5389 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danikat.8537 Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 The argument that it's too skimpy never made sense in a game where anyone can, at any time, strip their character down to their underwear (which in some cases already looks like swimwear). The diving googles and some areas (like the beach in Southsun) will even automatically hide your armour to use the underwear as swimwear. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Hayes.6890 Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 What would this accomplish outside of the current armor skin system? Seems pointless honestly. Are you wanting achievements to get while in your swimsuit? Are you asking for a swimming mechanic similar to how fishing got brought in? What is the value to adding swimsuits to a game where every armor skin can currently be called a swimsuit when we jump in the water??? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batel.9206 Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 Still a bit annoyed that the NPCs on the beach in Labyrinthine Cliffs got swimsuits - or at least different versions of underwear - and we don't yet. 😞 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cernoch.8524 Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 if its as a novelty item then maybe....we dont need 100 mostly naked players doing meta. Also atm I would just make sure game works, bugs are fixed, dx11 is fixed and focus on mechanics of new xpac. New skins at this point are more than pointless. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want it working you probably don't want the artists and 3D moddlers who design new skins attempting to fix bugs or program new mechanics. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly this ^ Southsun Cove and Ladyrinthine Cliffs (Four Winds) have outdoor changing cabana tents and it would be great if we could have them too in our Guild Halls or perhaps as a chair skin. 2 hours ago, Omega.6801 said: I'd rather have resources spent on something else. And what would that be? Btw how much resources are needed to make a skin again? 🤦♀️ Besides, looking at the requests over the years, they will be one of the best selling items in gemstore history. Guaranteed. No resources is considered wasted if they could bring in huge non stop revenues to ANet.

Zebulous.2934 Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 If any skins have had clipping issues fixed recently I would be interested to know which ones and what was adjusted. It is the sort of thing I would like to read about in patch notes. I am not sure they touch old skins and I don't know if I want them to. If I logged in one day and found out that all of the butt-capes had been turned into full ballgowns, I would be annoyed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
