Exalted Quality.8534 Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 If you didn’t preview the armor before selecting it, joke is on you brah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emprer.7256 Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 I personally think the aura is too much It would have looked better without it. But I absolutely love the model of both light and heavy armors. Medium chest piece is not my favorite because of the weird circular collar that sticks out. I would take these over warbeast/bounty hunter that look way oversized in certain parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdfaye.4368 Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 I love the medium set, except for the helmet. The light is my least favorite, but I still like it. These are nicely designed sets, but not everyone will like them, and that's okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hybarf Tics.2048 Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 It never fails to amaze me how Anet for some has the best MMO graphics out there and on the armor- outfits side fails so miserably. They fail even more when fans point out these flaws and ignore them totally, I never seen a single dev get involve on this issue. As usual armor or skin still always overdressed and allergic to showing skin, we have armors suitable for the Arctic and yet characters are in the desert. As usual our opinion does not matter and Is brushed aside. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a lot of armor that shows quite a bit of skin and the argument that we're in a desert doesn't mean characters can't run around in super heavy plate with ten layers of fur. Suspension of disbelief because this is a video game, not real life. > As usual our opinion does not matter and Is brushed aside. :/ Pretty sure they listen a lot. For example they made 3 full sets of armor once more after many people asked for new skins for ages. Devs should never listen to what a large majority of players say or think. You'll just run yourself down trying to be perfect, you take feedback and you try to do it better next time, not go back and constantly readjust unless there is a good reason for it (like mechanics changing and you now having to accomodate for that) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pifil.5193 Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 I love these new armour sets. It's nice to get some relatively simple armour sets for once without long flowing coats or skirts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foozlesprite.8051 Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 I'm just happy to be getting pants for my human girl instead of skirts, skirts, dresses, skirts, and skirts. I like the option of a more androgynous look, and this provides it nicely, especially because I can mix and match pieces as I'd like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eloc Freidon.5692 Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 I'd personally use the heavy shoulders if they didn't have those stupid spikes sticking out of one of them. The rest of the outfit doesn't have it so why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're not wrong, but this is a matter of taste. I didn't like GW2 skins either in the beginning, but the longer I look at them the more I see that they're not really "over the top" or too ugly, they're just not that impressive. The real problem are all this infusions and effects. Color infusions should have never happened. It looks just really stupid, except maybe the black one. The "glowing" armor from silverwaste isn't a problem either. But everything beside that is too much in my opinion. Then we have weapon skins like The Moot or The Dreamer, stuff like that is just grotesque and silly in the environment of GW2's world (I have both of them but transmuted because I only wanted to have the stat swap). We also have HUGE backpieces and trinkets like Aurora, mounts with electric, ghost and fire effects... Yes, this game has a problem with certain skins. But the reqiuem skins are certainly not among the most ugly or problematic ones. Funnily enough: A lot of people say even tho they hate the set that heavy is the best of them. Yet the heavy one has the most intense glow while mid and light are moderate. So really it's up to you not to always go for the most fancy stuff Anet throws at you.

They're not gonna fix armor just because some people dislike the way it looks. He still has a point tho. They do seem to ignore criticism even if it's justified (e.g. the "every medium suit looks like a pseudo trench coat" complaint which is mostly a result of misplaced textures).

Well ... I like the light set armor more (with the right colors) than the heavy one ... it looks pretty plastic on my revenant tbh (with metallic dye) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hybarf Tics.2048 Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Yep GW 2 sure is without a doubt many closet levels below GW 1, now those armor had style and fashion, now it's all overdress this add spikes hide skin and special effects that. Also now we have fashion statements at a cost called outfits all of which have failed to surpass the simplicity and fashion of GW 1 which always reminds us that armor art has taken a wrong turn and fell off the cliff where GW 2 lays dormant with the rest of it's staff. :# Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Trejgon.2809 Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 heavy shoes could potentially fit nicely into my FB's looks but for all the rest of elegy/requiem they do not seem to land within my areas of interests overally at this point. not sure what was AN's point with listing this "upgrade'able armor" as a hype point on trailer tho...

Looks like they rocking some skinny jeans with sneakers. Gack! Yes. Over all, I really like the light Requiem armor design. Also, over all, the humanoid female light armor shoes...most of them are just. no. The Requiem light shoes look like puffy high-top sneakers. The shoe skin from the Winged set looks nice with the Elegy set, so I'm hoping it still looks good with the Requiem. A positive on the Requiem light shoes though, they fully cover my Asura Elementalist's toes <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry, it's not an unpopular opinion. I too think the light requiem armour could have looked better. I think the heavy requiem armour looks a lot better than the light and medium sets - in particular the heavy boots and the heavy helmet - I don't really like the rest of the armour pieces though, to be honest. I think Anet did a good job on the glowy parts, however. In a weird/sad kind of way, it feels more dyeable and glowy than legendary armour :-/ which should, you know, kind of be the other way around, considering how much more money and time is involved in legendary armour!

Fenom.9457 Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 It looks really amazing to me, but Anet loaded down the collection with waiting for events and using rare materials. How about instead of taking a material that already costs too much and spiking it to unimaginable levels, you use enough of a common material to give it some worth? 5,000 resonating slivers, a few thousand mithril and wood, etc. instead of amalgamated gemstones that are already extremely rare and some sigil that doesn’t drop like normal ones!
