coso.9173 Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 How come both heavy and light armor has at least SOME options to show our manly chests and arms, and with medium armor, we've got absolutely ZERO options! coats coats coats coats coats coats, my daredevil can't fight its acrobatic style jumping around with those heavy rags! many people have been asking for this for AGES. many of the female versions of the armor would be amazing for guys, but no, instead we get yet another long ass coat. some examples of things I'd love to see. https://i.pinimg.com/564x/35/ff/25/35ff2572666d75e16cf97d080ca9f9bd.jpg https://i.pinimg.com/originals/3f/d1/21/3fd121d345715e4adf778dcaf47100e9.jpg https://i.pinimg.com/736x/ed/7c/1e/ed7c1e73e17324e182995ac05ad1af44.jpg https://i.pinimg.com/originals/f7/ce/a4/f7cea449831ab3cbb555e5e793fb65d1.png https://i.pinimg.com/originals/f4/53/64/f45364a1cd0ab646f495773c4fd9c200.png https://i.pinimg.com/originals/f2/47/d0/f247d02a8a3845d54a9dab31e14faa5f.jpg https://i.pinimg.com/originals/89/4f/29/894f29bf99aba8933dc00af505bd0581.jpg https://i.pinimg.com/originals/d7/13/85/d71385b1a64993e24531a648961f5a6f.jpg https://i.pinimg.com/236x/f3/ae/05/f3ae0503159d137a51b4de904e4009f2.jpg https://i.pinimg.com/originals/fb/82/48/fb82485eb1a13daf81eb0e795f9e744d.jpg https://i.pinimg.com/236x/98/f9/56/98f956357b5c7620de9ad7e79c36f668.jpg https://i.pinimg.com/originals/a3/39/37/a339375ddef95719f13f39019e124365.jpg https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/f/56903fde-9cac-4073-a019-fd5851d92d8e/d51bycj-1937bdeb-943b-46ce-9fd5-d1b0e03e54e9.jpg? https://i.pinimg.com/originals/c6/62/6c/c6626cda6f3cabd11892ef593fbdf979.jpg https://i.pinimg.com/originals/ca/b7/85/cab785610341139d59c119418b07b78c.jpg https://i.pinimg.com/originals/e2/03/41/e203414ffde26bfac4fc6c4079818e14.jpg https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/f/86b83ae7-906b-4a4e-827e-6f1becdd8159/d2qtn5i-a518acb9-0e7f-45dd-a954-e640bf948252.jpg? https://i.pinimg.com/originals/fa/97/93/fa9793df6fe7aefb194faf8babc5f7b6.jpg https://i.pinimg.com/originals/c9/5f/4e/c95f4e10f8355c5e1e5d9beba7dee4c8.jpg https://i.pinimg.com/originals/f6/9a/50/f69a50e1f1610c0caba0c70e6df92de6.jpg https://i.pinimg.com/originals/20/9e/bb/209ebb6641975729458ac220a19d00aa.jpg https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRSTqL0_n1jHaEesUuM9kL4FoSliLVWcFjROaZdoSiK1hBl3swZ&s https://i.pinimg.com/originals/5e/f8/5b/5ef85b5a81e10cc4c9711d5954ae01a2.jpg https://i.pinimg.com/originals/8f/09/18/8f0918b6d243d0defd6c087a2113a5d3.jpg https://static.zerochan.net/Gan.Ning.full.1439476.jpg I know some of these would look more like a Barbarian or a mage, but still you get the idea. give us something different, no buttflaps, no coats, no clothes from the neck to our waist without showing an ounce of skin, give us some variety please! this is the only MMO I know where i can't have my character have at least ONE option like this. some outfits are really good at this, but most of the skimpier ones are more on the "mage" side. doesn't reallt fit a rogue/thief/assassin, who should wear something without coats.

Taril.8619 Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 "Come on Anet, give us some **literally anything that isn't a coat** for medium armor for **both genders**!" FTFY. Both Light and Heavy armour have some decent variety in armour. Medium armour is 99.99% coats, coats and more coats. There's more to medium armour than coats guys... Some examples of gear that would allow for norn tattoos to be actually seen and **AREN'T GOSH DARN COATS**: Males: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/88/94/2a/88942a4b05e29dc71fb96cd6125a053e.jpg https://www.desktopbackground.org/p/2012/02/11/342317_celtic-warrior-art_736x552_h.jpg https://i.pinimg.com/736x/4f/05/a5/4f05a5edaea62de6db92c7a2f8601876.jpg Females: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/cd/0b/e1/cd0be11cce52197241be89d3c4ae2170.png https://cdna.artstation.com/p/assets/images/images/001/568/196/large/denny-ibnu-barbarian-final-lr.jpg?1448720765 https://www.wallpaperflare.com/static/379/806/446/fantasy-art-artwork-pirates-female-wallpaper.jpg There's plenty more sources of leather armour that isn't freaking coats that also covers up more too...

Emberstone.2904 Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 More female variants of armors for Asura Females would be really appreciated, too. Right now, Asura Females generally get male variants of armor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Head Kracker.4790 Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Believe me I want both male and female medium armor to be less coats or butt capes in general, so yes I agree with you but expand it to both genders cause we are both equally overcoated and over caped.

coso.9173 Posted August 6, 2020 Author Share Posted August 6, 2020 hmmm could be, last time I checked female medium armor had at least SOME variety and skimpier options like https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Krytan_armor (which is cool on females, and a coat in males) and https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Sneakthief_armor which again, shows some skin on females and is yet again another coat in males... so females have at least some more options, this is why I'm asking for males because they have ZERO options, not "a few". but sure, I'm not against females having more options either :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harak.8397 Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Taken from a post above to direct some attention at the axes he's holding: https://i.pinimg.com/736x/4f/05/a5/4f05a5edaea62de6db92c7a2f8601876.jpg Notice the lack of butterflies, sparkles, crystals, auras, etc but most importantly the shape. It looks like an axe, it's shaped for its purpose: hacking and slashing. More like this please :) Now, yes.. something other than coats for medium armors.

They censored a screenshot with a guys shirtless chest? Really? I think that's a mistake. It was a charr female so guy or girl it's practically the same.

Uh-oh! :open_mouth: > How convenient I gladly would if the skins were worth it. But most of the gem skins are still trenchcoats on males. Viper is not and I already have it but it makes me squirm on my chair every time I look at it. Seriously, I always find myself squirming and tilting my head while trying to look at it so my toon doesn't look weirdly crooked. And Striders is hideously un-fitting. Makes the dude look like a barrel with limbs (although it's not as bad as Runic). I'm still bitter about Krytan looking so cool on females and being a two-fit-in-one megacoat on males.

Lynx.9058 Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 > @"Frostfang.5109" said: > Charr fur patterns exist..... but they are hard to see for all coverage. Yea, pretty disappointed that charr females seem to use the same armor as males. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solanum.6983 Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Yes please. I hate that as someone who plays a male character with medium armor I'm forced to wear outfits if I want something simple and form fitting. A bare chest for males would fix a lot but knowing them they'd make it like the invisible feet and it be incredibly hard to get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keitaro Dragonheart.9047 Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Yes, this, please, 1,000 times this! Heavy and Light armors, I find, have so much variety, but medium armor is _all the same!_ I hate PvP, but I actually did PvP _just_ to get Glorious Armor for my thief so I could have _something_ that wasn't a damn trenchcoat! Why do only Scholars and Soldiers get variety? Why do they get a wide array of different styles, while adventurers have nothing but coats, coats, and more coats?! Please Anet, give Adventurer classes some _actual options_! Y'know, options that aren't _strictly_ gem store crap. Edit: Final thought; Anet, if you're _really_ listening to your players, then why have you been ignoring this, that we've all been asking for, for _literal years_? Each patch that adds new armor is always a massive disappointment when it comes to medium armor. Some creativity in your design choices for medium armor would be appreciated.

NeyteriKiyeri.4207 Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 I like too see fur on my charr. They don't need long coats to stay warm. Like to see medium gear that shows fur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylan.2187 Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 And less skimpy light armor for female characters maybe. I haven't checked if it's any better with male light armor but for female characters it's like 95% of the choices make your character look like a... let's say cheerleader.

Friday.7864 Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 The gender discrimination is horrible :( The same outfits often strip the females while they cover every bit of skin on male characters...  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
