Tired of Robe-looking armor

[Nicodemus_Mercy]

literally the caster "fantasy" is to wear robes.. same with the tanks "fantasy" is to wear plate.. if you don't like it, then glam it.

i'd rather not have SE change all the caster base sets to be too "out of character"... understand first why it has to be that way.

like others have said, its probably not that the robes look bad, its probably cause its not your style, which is fine. i for one like wearing robes with i'm playing caster, but more often i just wear my casual outfit around LUL

The problem is that there's few options to use for glam that all classes can use.

Some robes look nice, some robes don't. The problem isn't that we don't like certain robes. The problem is its almost always a robe. Having some non-pseudo dress/non-long coat/non tunic options wouldn't destroy the "fantasy". Imagine this... imagine a caster outfit that the top is a non-pseudo dress... and the bottom is a skirt. Together they look like the typical "fantasy" robe... but if you opt to glam different pants, you now have a body slot item that ISN'T a robe. That kind of versatility would address many people's problems with the current options.

Failing that, just adding more "level 1 all classes" glam gear for the body slot that aren't pseudo-dresses/robes/tunics/long coats/bare chest, would help break up the monotony of only having a handful of things to glam into.

There's all of maybe 10-15 chest slot items that any class/race/sex can use that isn't a dress. That's woefully inadequate as far as options go.

I'd actually like to see some mid-length skirts for guys? I spent ages trying to put together a healer glam that had a short front but long back skirt, a mid-length skirt and sandals. The only piece I could find that was even remotely close to the top was the ao dai (fancy front bit Ididn't want, also too expensive) and lol @ skirts for guys. There's the ureaus, the plain long, and a couple of even longer ones. I suppose now we have the indigo ramie, but that dyes oddly and has that bizarre holey effect that looked nice in WoD, but I'd like a... non-raggy option?

I'd also like if skirts didn't expand to fill the available space like some sort of weird gaseous substance but I'll not hold my breath on that.

WELL HEY!!

Then how about we... I dunno... Take off the damn glamour restrictions?!

Then anyone can look however they want!

Not sure if troll post or not, but I'd support it.

At least we don't have the problem GW 2 has. Like 99% of all medium armor in that game is a freaking long coat. At least their casters can mix it up and wear shirts and stuff. Their thieves and rangers, all gotta look like pirates or something.

I really dislike the fact that every single piece of armor for every class is robed. If they are going to be really lazy with the design then they could at least do something about the tail clipping through robes.

This is why I wish they'd remove job restrictions on gear (save artifact). Let us mix and match more. I am tired of robes for my casters. Sure we can glamour over them, which I've been doing, but the options we have can only go so far.

Enough with the robe-looking, cape, skirt-attached, half skirt armor designs already. Enough.

We have too much already and every single design is like this. I want something that does not look like I\\'m wearing a flowy- flowy garment. Please give us more options. In addition, cape/ robes don\\'t really fit with the fighting style of many melee jobs, it\\'s dangerous to wear something not form-fitting in batlle. Don\\'t tell me, "how about glowing armor , thats not realistic". I\\'m not asking for everything to be realistic but just different kinds of options, but almost every armor has some flowy cape or half scarf attached to it. At least allow it to be removable.

I believe even mage classes will support me on this. There are mages who want to dress combat style like battlemages. But all they get are dresses. Even tanks HW and SB armors are all some form of skirt. The armor and glamour options definitey need major improvements.

I completely disagree with all of this.

I wish they would stop with the man heels myself

Holy necros Batman! On the topic though I don't have to much of an issue with the armor designs. Well I hate the lower level gear with a passion but a majority of it is alright.
