New Armors From New Chapter

i think its turning japanese...i really think so. How are the designs Japanese in any way whatsoever? Cultural ignorance ftw!

How are the designs Japanese in any way whatsoever? Cultural ignorance ftw! You are so right in pointing that out, he was trying to be funny but just came out dumb. But I have to add, the armor at the tombs has a slight japanese feel to it so I bet that they pulled a "lump all of asia into our three cultures" move. Lots of games have done it.

I hope the armors have cool abilites, but wouldn't that be kinda weird? The game is supposed to be stand alone, so why should someone get all the cool abilities in one game over another? So I hope they are different but balanced. For example, I want my elementalist to have all around elemental protection, but it should be lower than any single element. And maybe even a physical protection boost on one set. But Uber Armor? I hope they don't make an amatuerish move like that without making the cost sky high.

How are the designs Japanese in any way whatsoever? Cultural ignorance ftw! Those new armors aren't Japanese style. Those are more Chinese style.

Especially:

Male Ele - His outfit resemable ancient chinese history. Those government employees who works in the Old time Chinese Palace. So does his hair style (that little round bon on his head.... typical chinese older style)

I've seen some ppl complain the outfit, well it's not a dress, GW just mimic the style with their own designs. (Seriously GW can do better though)

Male/Female Monks:

Both Chinese style... (definitely not Japanese) Especially the female monk's new hair style.

I don't find Mesmer nor Necro's new armor have much Asian feel so far. (Except one of the Female Mes's armor)

I've read how Guild War was expecting to earn more popularity in Asia Market, that's probably why they wanna change the whole thing to Asian Feel. I actually hope they can create some Japanese style ! Both older time fashion or combine with Japan nowaday fashion trend fashion :P! (Kimono with wooden platform will be good hehe)

Thats actually a quote from a song. Everyone knows it's a quote from a song... it still came off ignorant and insensitive.

Now that we've seen some examples of the armor, has anyone seen any samples of shields? I'm really curious there. Maybe a collector equivalent of the stance shield?

I think they will have some japanese items. The npc in tombs leans that way. And they mentioned three cultures right? Why would they ignore Japan when they just opened gaming there? Here's hoping for a Katana.
