AstralDusk.1670 Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 This suggestion really got shot in the foot by the moral outrage argument. I agree with the OP, though, that future sets ought to work in some more options that reflect other races' female sets. But the devs seem pretty set against increasing their armor-modelling workload any more, so that seems unlikely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hybarf Tics.2048 Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Skimpiness is when you fight to the point of loosing your whole armor and ending up in your underwear should we fix that too. Oh and while we're at it we should not be allowed to dive, because diving = no armor another fix needed. The beach at the Cove where where Kasmeer and Tarzan run in their bathing suit. Close your eyes for what's next. https://imgur.com/WnMSc9e Diving, character no longer among the living, she missed a dive and went belly up. https://imgur.com/VmVTPnn This one a vegan diver, fell asleep while sunbathing never woke up, she fried. https://imgur.com/SdJxXKn Ah my Asuran belly dancer she was no good at being a Guardian. https://imgur.com/a/gvWXL And my new ranger he plays with 3 armor parts one visible. Off topic can someone tell me why my gamma is light and the pics still come out dark? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The expansion has been out for enough time for people to be using the skins, loving the skins, working hard to acquire the skins. You can't pull a switcheroo this late into the expansion and take away the sets that people love, even if you don't. The OP didn't ask for a change but instead asked for more sets of armor that show a distinction between male and female. > > > > Also, "inappropriate on a female" is just your opinion. > > Norn have tattoos. > > Charr have fur patterns. > > Sylvari have skin textures and bioluminescent glows. > > Asura have skin patterns (from subtle to very prominent options). > > > > People want to show off those racial features they've chosen at the start of their character customization. That means revealing armor of varying degrees. What's the point of picking a certain racial feature if it's going to be completely hidden by unisex armor? I personally LOVE the Pit Fighter's set on my female asura guardian and the Tribal set for my female asura necromancer. It's been five years, why should people be forced to give up their favorite armor sets now? A waste of work that could've been better spent on more armor. > > And quite frankly, there are far more people who are offended by these armors on females than who enjoy them. Heck, most of the people who enjoy them won't even miss them since they use different armors anyways You have some actual data to back up those assertions, bud?

Opal.9324 Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Why would anyone be offended over a species that has no boobs leaving their chest exposed? That's like getting offended because a female cat you saw walking down the street had no shirt on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TY for trying to get back on topic. I think this thread is unfortunately doomed now :( But yeah, seems like Anet wont concern themselves with this for various reasons. Which is why I made a new Necromancer today...Sylvari. I'm just sick of not having the tools to make my Asura gal look the way I want her to.

Ayumi Spender.1082 Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 I got an idea, can I get the asura light armour on my human and replace the human armour with Asura? I would be happy with that completely. Like 100% happy. Less panties to the point I have only one leggings I can quaggan wear on my Necro and my Midna-themes Asura can look "almost" nude like... well Midna.

Chorne.8195 Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 I'm a bit obsessed with Fashion Wars 2, and my female Mesmer Asura was so hard to make an outfit for that I deleted her. I totally agree, more feminine outfits for Female Asura! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selana Firestone.6389 Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Personally, I have a character who, although she is a Guardian, also enjoys looking feminine _and_ vaguely-threatening. I would think it possible to make feminine armor for asuran females which is both adorable/pretty that doesn't lose the sense of "I'm going to punch a bookah in the nose and there's nothing you can do to stop me." It's really based on the player's perception of characters' personalities and how they're displayed. As the age-old saying goes, "You can't fight crime if you ain't cute!"

Irreverent.3594 Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 I find it hilarious that my asura's underwear covers nonexisting nipples/boobs and heavy armour has half bared chest... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinroh.4251 Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 My problem with the clothing is if they decide to change some of it to match other female races, then my Asura will lose their neat looking armor. Certain styles are affected and look better on female Asura as 'male'. Like the Scarlet eye piece, the Aetherblade medium set etc. Hell some of the heavy armor looks better since it doesn't make the female Asura look like they are wearing high heels or skirts.

Yeah...that too is a problem. Mainly why I was more hoping to plea for the new armors in PoF. And future armors. The older armors, well, people are used to thema nd have found great looks already. The new ones at least we can change before people get too comfortable. but I don't think it's going to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dusanyu.4057 Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 This is why my asura (All 6 of them) roll in cultural armor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DearlyMe.5320 Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 I'm for this, too, and was very disappointed to see the light armor Elonian was the male version. The female top would have looked great on an asura, too. I really wanted to use it for my elemental. Still going to, the vest also looks great on her. I struggled with my mesmer to find something elegant and feminine. 'Specially the bottoms. She doesn't wear pants. I don't like my female asura baring their chests, either. "Nothing there" and culture is a rather poor excuse. If people are uncomfortable with something, you aren't going to just change their minds by trying to correct them. They have gender neutral bodies, there is no right or wrong answer. Regardless, I still see mine as the ladies they are and will continue to avoid chest baring armor.

Edge.8724 Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 Asuras are mammals. I remember seeing that when I was reading some GW2 lores. It is possible for them to not have nipples, but they do breastfed (with some sort of pores where said nipples should be.) The only reason I can see them covering their upper part would be purely for practical purpose. For Asuras, they don't have the same "body sexual attraction" than conventional humans. I personnally prefer my asura character to be well equiped (immersion). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starhunter.6015 Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 Asura and Charr are both beast races, that being said. No armor on either of them are offensive. But since Asura male/female share the same frame work (Charr included) It is easier and faster to make one armor for each of those two races. Which sucks for the most part when trying to do fashion wars. Outfits are a good example, the Noble outfit a Tux on the Charr for both sexes and a nice gown on the humanoids. We have seen a few dress style outfits for the Charr (Countess Anise) so why is the Female Charr stuck wearing a Tux ? The Lich outfit for the Asura IMO looks fine for both sexes.
