Just a simple thread to see what people think. This is extremely opinion based and by no means a rant. The majority of Paragons prefer armor that covers up the majority of their male toon, you can tell by how often forum goers flame Paragon's for showing too much mid-drift and thigh. I personally am neutral on the topic, I could care less. But for the people who do care I whipped up a quick edit with more "armor" added. So this is basically a spectator topic, Tell me what you think.

Original FOW


My Crappy Edit

-Extra Black lacing on upper arms
-Longer more broad loincloth
-Breastplate extends to waist.

The male paragon armor is actually growing on me, I'm all for variety but would hate to see all armor changed in this fashion. By all means add the choice but I'm happy with how things are atm.

I do have to say that I don't like the FOW armor anyway, Vabbi ftw.

Im not going to get FoW armour for my paragon anyway (not out of choice, cant afford it), so it dosent matter for me, but if you think about the paragons ingame you might understand why.

1. Hot in elona (yeah yeah, warriors are clad in metal, its still a reason)
2. Paragons are seemingly roman based, romans wore skirts
3. they wear skits to for the same reason joggers wear those short, short pants...I dont know that reason, but im sure its valid

anyway, as for the midriff stuff, i dont know. remember the male assassins got some skimpy armour in factions as well, probably anets way on cutting down on male paragons.

Really, people get really paranoid about how much of a virutal man's skin is showing. I don't think I would care if all the male characters had Speedos. As long as it works, I'll wear it. Besides, I always have my camera zoomed out as far as possible, so I would just see a bunch of pink/brown/whatever.

Also, I both don't care much for FoW armour, and have a female paragon.

I actually wish more male armors showed skin. Tired of everything looking like a business or robot suit. People that get so paranoid about a little male skin in a video game seriously need to get a life.

I do like how your revision is, but it's fine the way it is. ANet will never reskin it anyways since they won't even fix armor glitches.
