Curse

Oh, Great Gods of Tyria! I beg of you to grant me my boon!

Long have I wandered the Realms of Tyria, and yet, I lack a most necessary item. When I was young, a mere stripling in the Beautiful land of Ascalon, I was gifted with a pair of pants for the cost of a mere 3 spider legs. They fit well, and I liked them, but they had a problem. They were a bright, glaring white, and refused to change their dominant color, no matter what I did to try to dye them.
As I traveled, I have found many beautiful pieces of armor across this great world, but they all are skirts cut so high I cannot bear to wear them. And so I have been wearing a lovely mix-and-match set, thus: Linkie

Now when I heard the cries of help from the dwarves, I quickly traveled to the far shiverpeaks to lend my assistance. There I discovered the Norn, and they also had new armors. Well, after looking thorugh their selection I saw that, although they do not have pants, they do have Heavy Hose and a short skirt. Excellent! I though. This will go wonderfully with my outfit, and they AREN'T white!
I looked around and I saw a male wearing his version of my armor, and he demonstated that the heavy coat was seperate from the pants, as thus:
Full

Top

Pants

Perfect! I though, and I spent My hard earned Platinum.
Only to discover THIS!

Horrible! Somehow, bottom half of the coat has become fused with the waist of my new skirt-and-hose! I spoke to many Norn, and they have told me that this is the way things are, and if I wish it changed, I must petition the Gods. And so I have, oh great gods of Tyria! Please, grant me this Boon of Pants!
<Just keep Balthazar out of the design process please. I've seen the FoW armor, and I would rather wear white.>

AMEN!
- Leia Delnassia

(Dear Anet: Please change the Norn Female Elementalist Armor to make the lower half of the Coat model is part of the Robes/Cuirass/Main body model, instead of part of the leggings, much like the Norn Male Elementalist armor. Thank You, - EbeneezerSquid)

oh.. my.. god...
Apparently, ANet is the Walmart of the MMO industry; most of their employees are mentally handicap.
Seriously, one or more of the designers having Down Syndrome or some crap is the only explanation to this.

Well that must've totally blew your day...I'd be pretty disappointed about something like that, myself. You have my condolences.

Achilles Antony · Sep 12, 2007, 01:08 AM // 01:08

Wow, that's a shame, really it is. It would look great without the bottom of the coat hanging there, wouldn't it? Sadly, I doubt Anet will do anything about that. It's really too bad.

Senrath · Sep 12, 2007, 01:16 AM // 01:16

Woah. That is messed up. And I am so not going to get Norn armor for my ele, then. And shouldn't this be in Sardelac?

Saraphim · Sep 12, 2007, 01:23 AM // 01:23

Hmm... well it works exactly the same way as Canthan elite / Flame Forged / Ancient, not sure about Kurzick elite. So it's no surprise to me, the (female) ele bottom half flared pieces have always been attached to the leggings, even if there's a skirt, as in the Elite Canthan.

Personally I'm glad, the bottom half is awful, but the top is promising for mix n match.

Btw, assuming from that you have at least Factions, and maybe Nightfall..

There are other pants you could have a look at. Although the latter only dyes the pants themselves, not the flared parts.

and not just for fem eles. Why do ALL the male paragons have not 1 pair of pants/shorts,something that isn't a bloody skirt........

(btw kilts are plaid, so nice try on that explanation.......I'd even take a speedo thong over a skirt......)

Curse You · Sep 12, 2007, 01:46 AM // 01:46

Don't go by images of Male armour when buying for a Female. It's like looking for women's shoes in the men's aisle and expecting to find an equivalent in the women's section.

They have ONE pair of pants.

Please, for the love of all that is holy, let us not go anywhere near that idea. Male Paragons already have um, shall we say, masculinity issues enough already?

@OP: I enjoyed reading your post, and that is indeed unfortunate. I hope your plea is answered, or perhaps you could consider other alternatives.

Like in SPARTAAA?

All warriors in SPARTAAA wear speedos into battle.

Winterclaw · Sep 12, 2007, 02:26 AM // 02:26

They should be wearing cups. No wonder they lost if they can't even get something that simple right.

kazjun · Sep 12, 2007, 02:43 AM // 02:43

But we likes looking at female ele legs...

Though if you'd grant male para's pants, I gladly put up with seeing female ele's with trou

trielementz · Sep 12, 2007, 02:47 AM // 02:47

hehehe *snort* my sympathies.. heh.

just check the individual wiki pages next time before buying.. they break down armor pieces into components usually. (http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Element...n_armor/Female)

[adds Anet, 0, bugs/mistakes from Anet, 100, 80 just from GW:EN]

Huh, let's move on =/

Onarik Amrak · Sep 12, 2007, 03:36 AM // 03:36

Another hideous outcome of the lack of effort designing the new armors.

Age · Sep 12, 2007, 03:49 AM // 03:49

I guess that is the price for being a female Elementalists and to think of all the Female Warriors.When you get rich enough you can go out and get set of these
Looks Good

Ouch.
