I wonder about that sometimes myself, too o_o

In any case, excellent new healbot. I'm sure the other fans will love it too.

Yes.. nothing like a Bludgeoner to impress the ladies...

Game designers (a crowd of mostly male) always have those sick un-realistic fantasies about their in game female characters, which is build on the public sterotype of debasing female value! Of couse, that why we enjoy playing them so much....)

Great comic, love all the details! Enjoy every panel of it.

You know, I always found this was a place I am at odds with the designers for. They ban names like Kinky Fetishes (my monk used to be called this), but at the same time create armours that promote such ideas!

The fact they can morally constitute banning 'Kinky Fetishes' while cheapening the female image to the extreme as they do is something I just cannot wrap my head around. They're nothing but hypocrites.

I agree with you about Anet being a bit hypocritical... but I don't see how this is "cheapening the female image."

Plus I don't see as many women going to the gym in order to try and fit into their guild wars armor. If you want to blame someone you should stick to playboy.


Edit: Ohh.. hrm forgo to stay on topic... Awsome stuff there! keep it coming!

It's A Game And There Is Nothing You Can Do About Them Using Armor Like That. If You Dont Like The Armor, You Dont Have To Play. I Am So Tired Of People Saying Stuff Like This.

There is no fire here, so don't come running with gasoline...

Regardless of how much male fantasy emerges in wireframes and items, we all know that real GW players don't act the way I've drawn. The dream-squashing truth is that most of the peepshow moments are just guys pondering the merits of equipment. Even with my "soapy" dialogue the scene is no less ridiculous.

Besides, every designer dude has a Victoria's Secret catalog in his artistic reference library...tends to have better pictures than books on medieval armor.

They have female programers too I mean look at male Glav armor. Not too long though it can be dangerous to your eyes (if your a guy)

Great comic!

It may seem hypocritical to have sexy outfits for the females, but strict name regulations. It may also seem hypocritical that girls go out to clubs dressed sexily, but rejects any male approach. There's a fine line between tempting and inappropriate, and thats just what the Anet marketing department decided to walk on, beautiful female characters attract customers, while offensive names repels them.

Good one. It is kind of ironic that with most of the female chars, the skimpier the outfit, the better the armor. :lol:

Warrior plate mail has more armor, but galidiator (which is the one worn) has more energy. Ranger studded leather (which is worn) protects against lightning, basic leather (at least in my observations) has protection against physical damage, druid armor has more energy.

But let's face it, if your a guy playing a female it is for the eye candy. Now if there was some sort of gender advantage, that would be different. Such as, male attacks hit harder and female attacks hit faster (agility), that would be different.

Back on, topic Healbot FTW!!!

Back on, topic Healbot FTW!!! Actually, my warrior is female because I knew the build would usually be wearing Gladiator's for the Energy, and I wasn't going to have a character in male Gladiator's (as a previous poster mentioned, it's harmful to the eyes). I'm personally not too fond of the idea of 'skimpy' armours ("Yes! I'm going to go fight vicious monsters, but I'm going to leave my midriff bare so I can distract any of my male companions as well! Until my insufficiently-armoured flesh gets ripped and shred beyond all recognition of course!") - I'm seriously considering FoW gladiators (as a VERY long-term objective) so I can get the benefit of the armour type without looking more like a ceremonial harem guard than a combat-ready soldier.

The problem is that even with the armour boost, the other armours don't provide a clear advantage in protection against Gladiator's. Yes, 85+10 is better against more opponents than 80+20, but Gladiator's still provides better protection against about one third of attacks than Wyvern's while adding about a third in total to your energy pool to boot.

I will admit that my Mesmer is female for the eye candy, but I will point out that I use a Courtly torso instead of an Enchanters...

Going back on topic, I guess my point is: I approve of the moral of this comic . Keep up the good work!
