I've recently come across a theory that certain players can be defeated wholesale through the use of certain weapon skins and auras. The Dreamer among them is rumored to cause notably loud reaction; but I haven't come across proper research on the subject, as the angst of the Heart of the Mists is like miasma.

Haishao.6851 Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 It would be more impressive if you actually tried to replicate her with what's available in game. We already have almost similar hairs, and the color is in self style hair kit. Just need to mix armor to make it look close to frenchmaid uniform. People have made all sort of replica like this. Sailor Moon characters was probably the most popular one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This Rem character is completely unknown to me and so is the anime, but from what I've seen and read it is a pretty generic anime (and I've seen a lot). I could imagine iconic characters having some kind of representation in a game (don't get me wrong, I'm not for it, but I can imagine it).

I could literally create a game with a character named “Raddock” with the likeness of Vin Diesel - as long as there is clear distinction that you’re not portraying _the_ Riddick you’re fine. I mean, you probably shouldn’t make him your main player character or sell him as separate DLC (then you might be in trouble, lol) but merely including such an NPC or something shouldn’t be a big deal.

I never said a maid outfit doesn't belong in the game (nor ridiculously large greatswords, in reference to the other misinterpretation). I said an anime character does not belong in the game. Not even remotely the same thing. And since anime is linked to a specific art style, you'd have to depict said character in that same style, or else it would just be a western style interpretation of an anime character. Now, that particular style, though I do love anime and have since the 80's, does not belong or fit in GW2. If people want their character to do cosplay, then that's fine by me. But unless they make another SAB-style instance, the anime art style would look ridiculously freakish in this game (just like all the SAB toys, minis and gliders that you can use outside the SAB instance, in my opinion).

Oglaf.1074 Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 I’m fairly sure the noble houses of Kryta are shock full of maids. So yes, I’d love a cliché maid outfit and it would fit right in. The problem is though, what should the male version look like? I have a feeling that we already have one or two “Alfred the Butler”-like tuxedos already...

You can roleplay whoever you want or list any anime roleplay you encountered. But i find some otaku culture like this to be excessive and disturbing such as this waifu2 stuff. Anet releasing trendy skins is fine as long as its more generic and does not stray from their original lore and overall concept . Its good on you if the skins coincide with the original character you want but asking to specifically release something to cater this otaku culture is what I am against.
