Nocturnal Lunacy.8563 Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Yeah there are a few pieces that can be considered steampunk but for the most part its all drab. Need some actual steampunk gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayakaru.6583 Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Aetherblade. What you're looking for is Aetherblade. We dont need more steampunk in this game. I'd say the current level of technology is weird enough as is. We got magitech now, so steamtech would be redundant and would not be able to compete with magitech Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palador.2170 Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 They've already done a full run of armor and weapons with the Aetherblade gear. If this isn't what you want (and apparently it isn't), then it may be helpful to say where it falls short and what you would like to see different. Maybe you'll spark an idea in one of the artists and get something rolling, if your description is interesting enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got magitech now, so steamtech would be redundant and would not be able to compete with magitech Aetherblade has to be purchased from gem store. And just putting gears and cogs on something doesnt make it steampunk. And magitech isn't really steampunk. need something that isn't behind a pay wall or have to grind excessively.

So, you're after non-gemstore skins? Okay, that narrows things down a bit for what you're after. Now, what do you want them to look like? Sadly, putting gears and cogs on something IS the usual concept of a steampunk look. Can you describe what you're really wanting it to look like, well enough that an artist would know how to draw/model it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And just putting gears and cogs on something doesnt make it steampunk. And magitech isn't really steampunk. need something that isn't behind a pay wall or have to grind excessively. I'm not saying it is steampunk, I'm saying magitech supersedes steampunk. A world with magitech cannot have steampunk as well as its considered less powerful. Aetherblade really is the most steampunk-ish the game has ever gone, and will/should ever go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you describe what you're really wanting it to look like, well enough that an artist would know how to draw/model it? Here are some examples. Steampunk doesn't really have a defined set of style but it does have a base style defined and you can see it in these images.     Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Open your bank account. Go to the Wardrobe Storage tab. See for yourself what is available and what you'd like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kharmin.7683 Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 I vote no. Additionally, even if ANet were to produce such I'm fairly certain it would be gem store fodder; otherwise, why would they make the effort if they won't get paid for it?

RoseofGilead.8907 Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 So, the most used elements in those pics are: cogs gold goggles gasmasks top hats leather https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Noble_Mask https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Gas_Mask_Skin https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Adventurer%27s_Spectacles_ https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Adventurer%27s_Mantle https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Scrapper%27s_Mask https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Panscopic_Monocle https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Eagle-Eye_Goggles https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Monocle_ https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Air-Filtration_Device_Skin https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Inquest_Wraps https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Inquest_Breeches https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Slickpack https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Antitoxin_Injector https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Researcher%27s_Masque And for gem store stuff: https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Aviator_Cap https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Aetherblade_armor https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Top_Hat There may be others, too, but those are the ones I thought of and saw first. I'm not against seeing more direct Steampunk styles, but one can get a decent look with some of the above and the right dyes (especially if you have a medium armor character).

Nocturnal Lunacy.8563 Posted March 20, 2018 Author Share Posted March 20, 2018 Look if you don't like the steampunk style then dont comment. This is for anet not for their fbs to come and talk about something you know nothing about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why bother creating a thread if you're gonna pout at other's constructive remarks? i've never understood why people say somebody is crying or pouting or w/e when they see something they dont like. theres a diff between constructive comments and making comments about something you either dont like or know nothing about. but as i say to everyone, if you read everything as crying and pouting or w/e then its pretty obv that you spend the majority of your time doing it.

ArenaNet Staff Gaile Gray.6029 Posted March 20, 2018 ArenaNet Staff Share Posted March 20, 2018 I'm going to close this thread. But I'm going to say something, too. This is a **Discussion Forum.** This is not a system where you submit a message to ArenaNet, and only we can reply. On a **discussion forum** people are going to... discuss. I make a suggestion, someone else offers their opinion, someone else disagrees with my position, someone else agrees -- it's how a conversation works. Posting a suggestion is fine. Someone else having a different opinion is OK. What's not acceptable is getting upset with an alternative opinion and trying to silence that person, when they've made their comments in a wholly acceptable way. (Naturally, if they engage in insults -- true insults, not simply having a different opinion -- they should be reported.) It's not OK to tell someone to butt out, or to call people names to try to bolster a different opinion. So please share your thoughts, but express them with courtesy and respect. Others will be expected to do that same. It's that simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
