Chasind.3128 Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Just sayin, the floaty sash makes the supposedly 'elonian' outfit looks like it would fit under a more Canthan themed style. Can we just get an outfit that doesn't have an ugly design to it? Or an outfit closer to the original style of GW1? Also, an outfit that doesn't ignore Charr design would be great too, thanks.

Endless Soul.5178 Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Well, Elona is a lot closer to Cantha than continental Tyria is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khailyn.6248 Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 I think the outfit is elonian ish.. My confusion with it is, what aspect of it is particularly elementalist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nash.3974 Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 I agree, it looks kinda like a mix between the two: https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Elementalist_Elite_Luxon_armor And https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Elementalist_Elite_Sunspear_armor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had elemental Auras/ halos and this just looks like an elonian diplomat outfit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just a flesh wound.3589 Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 The outfit looks more like Nighfall (Elonian) Elementalist armor to me. Except for the Krytan starter armor, Faction (Canthan) armor was much shorter. https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Elementalist_armor#Factions_armor_art Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danikat.8537 Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 You can see all the GW1 elementalist armour together here: https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Elementalist_armor I think the new outfit looks like the Istani or sunspear ones. Admittedly the female version also looks a bit like the elite Luxon armour, but the male version is completely different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It comes off more canthan than elonian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're aware of what they look like, then you should know it looks nothing like any of the Canthan armors from GW1. It's almost the exact style of the Sunspear Elementalist armor, with the patterning being more like the Istani Elementalist armor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alga.6498 Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 And with that…. it has to be that Cantha is closer than we expected! At the ending of LW4 we'll go to Canthaaaaa!!!!!! :D :D :D :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khisanth.2948 Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 I thought the same but that might have been the influence of various eastern MMOs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's almost the exact style of the Sunspear Elementalist armor, with the patterning being more like the Istani Elementalist armor. I just don't see it. I feel it looks closer to the Luxon & Elite Luxon Canthan Armor, just with a middle sash. I can't unsee it either. I would have loved it if it actually looked like the elonian starter armor for elementalists! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zauriel Mooncat.4968 Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 And then little did we know that this was actually a well hidden and masterful hint from Anet that Cantha might be the next expansion they will work on...

DanteZero.9736 Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 It's the floating ribbons on the arms that give it an Asian feel. In my opinion, the ribbons have no place on the outfit as Elonian armor from GW1 didn't have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion, the ribbons have no place on the outfit as Elonian armor from GW1 didn't have it. Yeah, the designers tend to add unnecessary designs to outfits. I wonder why they can't just stick to what actually looked good in the 1st place, instead of adding a flair that makes it look less like it did.
