What would it take to remove buttcapes?

probably trolling all those "i only roll female characters because if i'm going to stare at the butt all day long" people ^^

I literally put suggestions in to have both. I don't care if people like buttcapes, but there needs to be options without them. I imagine it can't hurt them too much to take a pair of scissors to a bunch of outfits and re-release them, they probably sell a lot better. Win for players win for devs.

What I'd like is more "dark soul 'esque" armor. This serie has the best fantasy armors in my opinion.

I'm okay with the coats, but It'd be cool for some variety.

 

I don't think that the armor design is meant to make a political statement. I get that they do go a little overboard with virtue signaling sometimes. Heck, I remember bumping into a crazy number of lesbian characters throughout this game, but I'm willing to say this is probably something else. If you look up armor images in a search engine, a lot of images will show torso armor covering up the thighs. The artists are probably just using images they find as reference material.

Totally agree, wether its heavy greaves, heavy leggings, heavy legplate, all of em ar buttcapes or short skirts. So many transmog variations ruined by this particular issue. The only heavy ones that I found an are actual leg only: Heavy Plate, Studded Plate, Aetherblade... and maybe Primeval.

Not against buttcapes, but the leg only need some love too. big time.

I am all for variety.

For those who like the buttcapes, that's fine. Keep the skins we have now. No real need to change the existing ones. Going forward, please create skins without this feature.

Except that's not even what the OP was saying.

 

1. OP accuses ANet of being obsessed with buttcapes.

2. OP is begging ANet to be less rigid to their weight-class style guides and create non-buttcape skins IN ADDITION to the usual fare, if fashion is really supposed to be the endgame. The dogmatic adherence is severely crippling the potential of one of their core features. OP never sought to deprive those who like buttcapes of their fashion.

 

Hope you're not deliberately misquoting OP in an attempt to middle the discussion here.
