Blasfemy!

Thou shalt not cover the glorious creation of the gods.
Let their puny servants contemplate it and rejoice in the overwhelming beauty of the most perfect creation ever: Women.
Are you telling women are weak and can't stand the cold?
Are you telling women are a horrendous vision and should cover themselves?
Are you telling you prefer to look at a piece of cloth, leather or metal rather to looking to perfection?
You should be ashamed.

Every single inch of bare female skin worships Lyssa. Covering it would make her angry.
And when a twin goddess get angry, she (they) get DOUBLE angry.
Lyssa may likes illussion, but not lies. Covering things is like lying.

Just look at Jora. The best female Warrior model ever.

Ok, now seriously.
There are many models, and in all professions are armors that cover almost everything, and models that let show many things Both for male and female (Gladiator, for example).
Since what you ask is already there, this suggestion is pointless, unless you ask to remake all armors to cover everything, and that will never happen.

populationcontrol,

I never stated that I had a problem with strippers, I simply said that may of the female characters dressed like them and I don't think that is needed in a so called "family game". Would you want a ten year old family member of your's exposed to a stripper? I can only hope you wouldn't.

For all the ladies who are stripping to feed their family...more power to them. I actually wrote my college english paper about strippers and how I believe they need more protection while at work and going to their cars, (got a 98%) but I digress.

Seems your own pic there shows actually more fabric in the front region we are talking about. YES it's a game with characters that We Can't Change. It's not a choice. Not Nearly? Pixel removal ummm why not add? Why just remove considering that that pic without it's shadowed in area would be totally revealed. That is the point that this thread is about. No crying just pointing it out to Anet. No crying here just a point. Seems others took it to the Real World where this game is not. But needs to be said since it is in younger age's hands to play in.

(and if they come with the "it's magic armor", well, a whole full plate set of that same magic armor should be available providing even higher AC)

it's not just female gladiator. male gladiator armor shows even more skin yet has the same 80 al + 20 physical that all the other more protective looking armor does. come to think of it, how does tattoo on a monk protect just as well as sturdy-looking leather goth armor that a necromancer has?

Again it's not armor we get to pick it's Hero Armor that is already chosen. Yes chars get tp pic their own but when no choice there again a line needs to be set. Why keep going back to old armor? We are talking about a game to come not previous.

HAHA i know it was a typo but still. anyways the game is +18 and i fail to see how the female anatomy is offensive. its beautiful and must remain exposed. lets not turn this game into a bible group, if it offends you there is armor that covers your female character this really shouldnt be an issue.

ten year olds shouldn't be playing this game. it's 13+ years; it even says so right on the box.

MithranArkanere,

First I have to giggle about the first half of your post...I thought you were being overly serious about the goddess. Secondly, there is armor sets for each profession and I know this, but when I look at Jora I have to wonder what future armor is instore for female characters. I like the idea of having a more conservative looking armor while still having the original armor work of ANET to purchase from NPCs. I guess what I'm asking for is an affordable line of variety armor. Not asking for five new sets of armor for each profession but maybe just one new set for a few professions like Elementalist, Paragon, ect.

I like playing as a Elementalist Nuker, but I can't stand the elementalist dancing in her non-showy armor. I can't afford FoW and she hasn't been to Bone Palace to purchase ancient armor so there she sits in my character select screen...collecting pixel dust.

And Sugr...it's a good point about how Jora is a hero and thus we are unable to change her armors appearance (unless there is a new challenge area for armor drops). I would not mind if the southern region of Jora was to be covered a bit more.

Metal Herc · Aug 17, 2007, 12:28 AM // 00:28

I understand where you guys are comming from but dont bring that whole "it's men trying to bring us gals down" bullshit. Sex sells. Even if it is virtual pixellated sex for those lonely 13 year olds.

Have you seen female warrior armors? They aren't revealing at all (save glads, that makes sense) thats much better than most games. This game does better than most at covering up. I'd be more worried that all the elementalist armors look like ass.

populationcontrol,

If the game is indeed for 18+ then please explain to me why I see so many 13 and under players? Oh yes...because Guild Wars is T for teens meaning 13 and older...and yet pre-teens get ahold of the game too. So no...the game is not +18. So having standards and wishing to be more than eye candy has automatically labeled this thread as a bible group seeking comfort in Guild Wars? I know that's not exactly what you typed, but it seems to link very well.

nightwatchman · Aug 17, 2007, 12:36 AM // 00:36

The Jora we're seeing now is actually the modest version. The original concept art was much worse.

Metal Herc · Aug 17, 2007, 12:40 AM // 00:40

At least she looks like a strong warrior-woman there. Now they gave her a boob job, no muscles and a much "softer" face/skin.

jhu,

Clearly the box is set for "T", but I was able to purchase Fable set at "M" at the age of 16 so in conclusion I would have to say that Wal*Mart or any other game sellers are going to make a sell and sometimes not check for ID (or even check the box for rating). So who is to say that an older looking pre-teen wouldn't be able to purchase the latest Guild Wars game using their birthday money or christmas cash?

nightwatchman,

I remember that concept art and thinking that ANET had to be joking. It would seem as though her top has been fixed but the bottom has been compromised. I suppose either the top has to show or the bottom has to go...

Hrmmm... someone needs to log off more. Step outside sometime, look up, yes, thats your long lost friend, the Sun...

I agree with you Dervish Gnome, lol some of the "armor" in GW doesn't look like it can even protect someone from a mosquito. :P Function over Form please, for at least some of the armor.

Oh, and please PLEASE no more crazy spikes on the sin armor! LMAO some of the NF armor sets look like they're growing roots.

Who said you're weak? I see lots of girls (real, live, living, breathing girls) who run exactly like the "wimpy elementalist" girls do. And I know a girl in my Martial Arts class who could kick almost anyones ass. So don't start saying we are calling you weak.

Sorry, but the last time I checked 10 year olds shouldn't be exposed to breasts...

Okay...so stop taking 10 year olds to the mall. Hell, stop taking them outta the house. Everywhere you go, society is degenerating. Women are dressing...well I'll be blunt, a lot are dressing like sluts (sorry to use that language, I know that might be offensive) This game isn't going to change anything of that sort. And male armor can be just as revealing. You say this should be battle armor? Lets revise then:

Monk tats (both sexes)
Necro Scar pats (both sexes)
Warrior Gladiator armor (both sexes)
Assassin Luxon (male)
Assassin Luxon 15k (male)
Im sure their are others. These obviously would not be suitable for battle. Do you know why? Because this is a game. You cant shoot fireballs in real life either, but you can in Guild Wars. Because it's a GAME. If you don't like the revealing armor, don't wear it.

MithranArkanere · Aug 17, 2007, 01:10 AM // 01:10

Yeah I agree with that one.

What's up with the blades? Why so much of them? Imperial, Seitung, Canthan and Shin Jea wre wuite fine without the spikes.
Luxon armor spikes are enough.

Another girl gamer here, and while I'm not opposed to cheesecake (my rit is definitely too sexy for her shirt), some of it's just so eye-rollingly obvious. Elementalist ladies, I'm looking at you. I'd love to see more high-rated armor that looks and acts like armor. Most of the offerings are just... dull full-body coverings. I'm not playing nuns here; I just don't care for characters that trot around in glorified bikinis. Covered-up doesn't have to mean uninteresting. I usually make jokes when I run my Ele through the Shiverpeaks, having her jump and complain and ask to borrow the mesmer's coat or something.

I realize this game appeals mostly to the teenaged/young adult male demographic and revealing woman's armor is a given, but some of it's just pathetic. At the higher levels, it's mostly Dervishes that retain any modesty.

The Lurch,

Okay, I apologize for saying that men are saying we're weak...what I should have said is, "Some men envision women as the weaker sex, thus our run is going to be depicted as wimpy." My elementalist NEVER dances an obvious reason being I don't like her goods rattling around while all the males gather. You got me on 10 year olds seeing everything a woman has to offer by simply going to the mall...so excuse me for thinking that Guild Wars should at least consider alternative armor choices. What was I thinking?

Oh yes...I was considering that Guild Wars is just a game thus this being the whole reason why all the women look stellar when in real life...not all women have flat tummies with a kicking upper and lower attachments that are constantly flaunted. Oh well!
