Request: Hempen Garb - Racial Unlock

[Serilda]

The moment we give people what they want for one design, then people will complain about other things again.

How dare people complain about more than one thing when they don't care about housing but instead care about clothes. We're still (separately) complaining about the game's issues with male glamour, so don't worry, this thread hasn't brought about anything new there. But I don't think your personal opinion that housing is more important carries more weight than mine.

(The housing team monitoring server strain and expansion are not the same as the people who model the clothes we wear, by the way.)

Just dont do it anymore. Other issues are greater importance, like housing.

I am so sick of this, "don't complain about something because then it'll lead to complaining about something else," mentality.

Don't complain about housing because then people will complain if it becomes instanced/FC only/more expensive/easier to get and less exclusive.

Why would I want to see muscly Roedagyn/Elezen/Highlander/Au Ra male wearing female version hempen garb?

I mean people have their own kinks, but I am good enough seeing people wear yoga pants locally where I live in IRL. I don't need to see some unisex skimpy outfits in game. Hi Blade and Soul.

First: the thread is asking for racial unlock, not sex unlock.
Second: I respect you don't want something like that. I however like the idea of more glamour freedom.

I really hate this idea. However, if it's so important to give Female Highlander gear to cat girls, the option should go to everyone. Make it available to males as well. It's only equality if all can use them.

Personally i want more race/ gender specific gear. It would help dive more into the lore of the different races in the game.

There are so many better ways to dive into lore without locking clothes to a particular race man. I don't know why you think a cat girl's miniskirt has deep enough lore significance to treat it like artifact armor...

Please unlock hempen sets so all variants are available to all races kthx. I won't even demand they be gender unlocked either! (Though that would be cool.)

The details make the lore all the better. Small aspects of a region, cultural influences, and traditions can be found in everything from design, material used, and What activities are tide to said garments.

Highlanders live in a desert climate, roughly sew their clothing together, and are fiercely proud of their powerful physique/ builds.

Take a look at the Ala Mhigan gear, see if there are any clues to this mind set.


( a better picture should have been used, but short on time atm.)

What do we see here? Light hide armor made with plenty of breathing room for a desert climate, made to showcase a powerful build. I do not feel this is a coincidence.

I see a lot of metal bits that'll soak up heat from that hot desert sun, sandals that just beg the enemy to cut off some toes and his Achilles heel, and bunch of black to absorb even more of that killer desert suns heat. In conclusion, it's little wonder Highlanders of Ala Mhiga were conquered by the Garleans. They're too into fashion to create some proper battlegear. Why did we liberate them again? Cheaper designer handbags?

The same could be said about Domans, but they get the spotlight. One is lauded while the other is demeaned... funny how that goes, nice to see how little the story means to some though. However i will give you points on the sandals though, i really hate those things and for the life of me can't find a foot option that goes with the set.

I thought it was so we could have access to that not-racially-locked Ala Mhigan gear.

IF the gear is suited to the climate, then all the races that live there are going to want to wear it. At very least there's a Hellsguard population that are going to have similar taste in gear.

I don't see any reason to assume they "roughly sew their clothing together" though - here or elsewhere. They wear the same types of neatly-made clothing the other races do, and have the same starter gear as Midlanders!

I think when it comes to the hempen sets, is that their variations are designed for the particular race/clan that wears it. Each variation would have to be redesigned to fit the mold of all the other races. I'm not opposing this restriction lift as far as the variations go as I really want the Highlander version for my Midlander, but it will clearly take some time for all the combinations. Considering how unappealing a lot of recent gear has been, I definitely wouldn't mind if they tossed some resources at this long awaited request.
