Paragon females are not sexy barbie dolls!

I'm seriously considering to delete my female paragon and start over as male. The female armor is just atrocious. If those swimsuits can be called armor at all. I can understand that some people prefer to have sexy armor on females, but unlike warriors, there simply isn't a choice to wear anything modest at all for paragons. That's what I'm asking for, a choice to put on something modest. Kormir is wearing full armor, why can't I?

I love the male vabbi armor, nice heavy breastplate and ornaments. But once put on a female, the beautiful platemail suddenly turns into a horribly ugly and humilitating bra, even female elemental armor is more covering then this... thing.

Being a female in real life, I find these armors detestable and insulting. It's supposed to be platemail, and leaves all the important parts uncovered. There is no armor at all that covers the entire torso, NONE! Most don't even come half way. The only one slightly acceptable in my book is Obsidian Armor as it manages to cover quite a bit, but I don't feel like ebaying some gold to be able to afford that huge price tag.

So can I please have a female paragon armor that covers:

* Belly
* Area between and above the boobs, no clevage dammit!
* Neck
* Arms from elbow to wrist
* Feet and legs upto the knee
* Waist to knee
* Preferably shoulders and upper arms

With cover, I mean cover with solid platemail, not the semi-transparant white cloth stuff that surely looks 'great' when wet.

Or simply has an undersuit, like the grey suit seen at the knees and waist of the female templar armor.

For comparison:
Warrior female sunspear, krytan, tyrian, shing jea, ancient, canthan, kurzick armor is GOOD
Warrior female luxon, vabbian, ascalon, charr hide, gladiator, platemail, templar/elite templar is BAD

Thank you.

Hehe, actually I like the current skin-armours xD
Also, if they start changing para female armour,
I recommend to change the male armour first..
A man with nipples? ew..

Funnily enough, most men do, in fact, have nipples.

On topic... I wouldn't mind something a touch more... covered, yeah.
But not full platemail, 'cuz platemail is fugly, and not particularly... paragon-y
If there were more sets about the same level as Obsidian...

I agree that that armor is horrid too, but males have a choice whenether or not to have nipple-armor. Females have no choice.

Damn its like theres been a feminist uprising here...

You are complaining about Paragon Female armor not covering. Neither does the male. The concept of the armor is lose fitting hermes-ish stuff.

There are armors that cover for every class, don't get so up in arms about it. Yes there should be a few cheaper options, but this is gotting way blown out of proportion.

I don't really like the revealing clothing on female elementalists either. Which is why obsidian armor for them is awesome.

Theres another thread in a sub forum here from a female gamer who has the same views about coverage of armor on toons, and how it would be nice to have a wider varity for the more modest gamers

I don't see any female paragon armour with nipples. :l I'm pretty sure that'd slap an 18+ on this game if there was.

If you really hate your armour being so revealing. Here's an idea :

Download texmod.
Open up image editing program (anything will do)
Get a texture of a blanket
Reskin all armour and skin to blanket texture.
And there you have it, all your chars are covered as modest as can be.

I obviously meant that females have no choice to wear swimsuits or not.

lol!


I do agree though. There should be at least one Paragon set that covers decently and er...doesn't look almost identical to all the other paragon sets. :/

Every woman pleasures a man in some way, although you probably mean prostitute/stripper but I didn't realise swimsuits automatically meant strippers.

Male paragons don't get a set of armour that doesn't make us look like eye candy for a Calvin Klein ad.

Talk about oppression!

As a male i love the female paragon armor, obviously... But, I also agree there should be other options. If you want to run around half naked, awesome, but if you want to look like you are 'armored', thats great too and a lot more realistic. Especially considering Paragons are the only other 80 AL armor class in the game along with warriors... c'mon now a little more realism please.

Modest female paragon armor please. I can't find any.

Elementalist is having a hard time too although there are two or three. I pity those without Factions though.

I'd just like to say about the gladiator armor you mentioned, I think it's supposed to be that skimpy since the male version is almost exactly the same.

Anyway, I don't think you're going to be in much luck when Eye of the North comes out either since from the only Paragon set shown so far it looks like the same deal.

Armor doesn't always have to be practical. Look at 300. Their armor was the complete opposite...

Ah, that's why they sell warrior Gladiator armor in Marhan's Grotto, which is the coldest town in the world, with a floor of ice.

And Reality: "Herodotus says that the units for each state were kept together.[27] The Persians, armed with arrows and short spears, could not break through the long spears of the Greek phalanx, nor were their lightly armored men a match for the superior armor, weaponry, and strategy of the Greek hoplites. "

Just wait for Eye of the North. Then you will see new armours, and maybe the one you wished.

Oh I see.

So, what do you define as modest then? Wide fitting garment from head to toe which doesnt show any exposed skin?

...because they are using their shield and dodging/moving to survive. In this game, however, sooner or later you will get direct hit in the body, so it would be nice to have plated char for some realism, not a half naked barbie who will only scream: Ouch! and continue to fight like nothing happened.

I'm not going to see that movie, based on the reviews it's just a testosteron fest and I don't like those things. The Greeks actually wore metal or leather breastplates during those times. They are hoplites, derrived from the word hoplon, which means armor. If they did not wear a breastplate, they were ekdromoi, light infantry, literally meaning outrunners. These did not fight in phalanx formation but were skirmishers, which would have been overrun easily at Thermopylae. So the Greek actually DID wear practical armor. The idea of them not wearing a breastplate comes from the 19th century painting by Jacques-Louis David, in which king Leonidas and his Spartans can be seen not wearing anything at all save for a helm and small red cloak.

Okay, I'll try to put this the right way:

No-one really cares, pay attention to the game not to the armour. Or stop complaining here and play another character or make a male paragon.
Problem solved, less of GWGuru's bandwidth wasted.
