Girly Girly Gamer Question...

Hello, everyone... As you can tell by the thread title, I am an extremely girly girl in real life... My hair is bright pink and I virtually worship Hello Kitty (NO JOKE)... I'm very artsy fartsy... I have a serious, albeit pathetic in the eyes of most people, question... I request ahead of time that nobody flame me... These things seriously matter to me.

... I cannot decide WHAT in the world would be the girliest character!!!! I mean this armor wise and skill wise!!! I need some major help here as it is actually, embarassingly enough, hindering my enjoyment of the game!!!

1. I want the GIRLY GIRLIEST character possible. I don't mean smutty in any way... I mean GIRLY GIRLY... like somebody would want to dress their doll that way girly, not 'street corner' girl...

2. I want TRUE pink armor... not some nasty brown pink like I've achieved time and time again... If any of you can help me with that, I will be eternally thankful.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE share opinions with me - I accept personal emails on my profile. And, once again, if ANYBODY can help me with my dye dilemma... much appreciation.

Hearts,
Winter

(((I remember, when I was in the VERY FIRST beta test for this game... you could dye your hair pink... It looked a lot like this... (I mean EARLY beta... when there was still an in game MAIL function and the menu was on the right side of the screen!):
http://www.topolla.net/armor/elementalist/f_04_05/ (I think this screenie is a result of lighting... not the pink hair from beta... anybody know where I can find screenshots of the old pink hair for elementalists anyway??? They need to bring it back!))))

Hmmmm....I suggest you go Ele/Me, The Hydromancer & Aeromancer Armor 15k armor are
one of the prettiests armors in the game, With the skills You should go with fire. Also don't make your character too tall..coz then it'll just look strange, make her petite. And with the dyes If you wanna make a nice colored pink I suggest your try red + purple, and also silver + red...I hope this helped lol (Im a girl 2^.^)

Get with the times, my 15 year old sisters could probably own you at halo, or even Guild Wars for that matter since she plays both, and many other games. Gaming was never just for guys :P

True pink?
Well, try Red+Purple, works on most armors.
Also, if you have the money, try Silver+Red+Purple.
I use that on my necro, and looks neat.

AUGH! You are so mean...

What, do I have to PROVE I'm a girl? If so, that is pathetic! I swear... some nerds are so paranoid about their own sexuality that they need proof of womanhood? That is SO sad. UGH. I am offended.

Anyway...

To those of you who are taking my request seriously, thank you... To those of you who are being mean well.... I have nothing nice to say to you, so I will say nothing more.

Yeah I don't think that killion was suggesting that games are for guys only. I think he was suggesting that laurel was in fact just another guy pretending to be a girl. You see alot of guys pretending to be girls, and alot of girls pretending to be guys. It's pretty odd humerous. I can agree though, you seem to be trying too hard, like you actually have to prove you're in a fact a girl. Haha sorry if its offensive, thats just the vibe I got.

what a girlie girl, hehe

yea, female eles seem to fit you the most. black aeromancer armor looks great but since you want something really girlie, pink is for you. hydromancer pink looks nice. my guildie, she has the 15k hydromancer pink armor. looks really nice. i think red+(2)purple makes a pretty nice pink. silver + red is more of a pale pink. it's up to you, good luck

I didn't mean to come across that way... I've just been playing MMORPG's since the day when men were like 'you're... a REAL girl?' 'yea... why?' 'OhmygodhiIloveyouIwishIhadagirllikeyou'... WHICH quickly became over the next two years or so 'Are you SURE you're a girl?' 'yes.' 'I don't know, you're just a guy playing a girl aren't you?' 'NO!'...

I get insulted by that... I didn't mean to 'overcompensate', if you will in my first post... I am just emphasizing my personality so people can help me decide on a character. I'm not trying to sound like a pretender.

I'm glad I'm not one!

Haha yeah I can understand why the females don't enjoy playing a femal haha. Too many pms and questions about their personal life. You do get the bonus of nothing being your fault though. At least when I play and someoenes a female it never happens to be their fault if something goes wrong. So if you're a female monk, you've got it made haha.

You should know that just because we do not know who you are that does not give you the right to poke fun at others.

Wow... now that you mention it... I never really have been blamed for anything! Granted, when I mess up, I admit and take the blame... but I never get accused or chewed out for it or anything. Odd... not fair... not to say I don't like it though! *giggle*

Anyway, I don't think it's important that ANet give us more possibilities for getting your character more gurly, because probably 100 people would appreciate it. ANet has other things on their minds now, important things.

Sexuality arguments aside - I'll just take your word that you're female, not like there's a world of difference whichever way turns out to be true.

If you want a skill-wise "girly" character - you could always try a Protection Monk - using Pacifism to stop all the fighting, etc - just for comedy value I don't imagine "girly" characters to actually want to do much fighting.

I'd actually say Mesmer. They have the fancy hair styles and wear a dress for armor. Maybe go for the Ranger secondary? So you can charm a cute bear or something?

But if you don't want the dresses that the Mesmer has to offer, you could take the sexy Elementalist like they all suggested.

When you're thinking about making your first character though, I'd say go with a PvP character first, so you can look at the regular armor that all the classes have to offer and decide then.

I agree with this, the Mesmer is one of the girliest looking characters in the game. The spells they use also discharge in a sort of pinkish-purpleish color

personally i dont think it *matters* if the OP is female or male. thats besides the point.

the point was which characters are 'girly' or more precisely, which are 'gurly'

its a kind of sensitive topic since some people feel it is a complement for a character to be 'gurly' while some see it as an insult.

so dont get offended, ok?

IMO, monks *can* be the smallest, cutest, 'gurliest' type. complete with the mini skirt its quite amusing.

rangers are second on the list, having pink studded leather armor is 'gurly' without being overly.. revealing....

im changing my opinion here, i dont think eles are quite up to the same standard as ranger/monks.

warriors, necros, and mesmers arent quite there.

but i would try starting several pvp chars, just to see how you look in forge armor, in most conventional colors.

send us a screeny when you find one you like

I'd probably say E/Me, 15k hydromancer's armor dyed pink. Mesmers seem to high and mighty or "proper" to be too girly girly or whatever the hell you're referring to.

I suggest the female monk with tats (dye them orange, looks great) and the hairstyle that has the buns on either side of her head.

At khillon:

Dude you are an idiot. My guild has 9 girls in it (yes I know they they are in fact female, we actively use TS).
All my chars are female, are you insinuating that I am trying to pose as female? If so you are once again an idiot. Just because I prefer to looks at a cute/pretty butt as opposed to you liking to look at large sweaty male butts does not mean anything. Except that you might need to reevaluate why you always play a male warrior...

Did I say never? Eh if I did, my bad. Theres exceptions to everything haha. And I'm not saying that female players won't say something if it's there fault, but I rarely see a warrior yellilg at a female character haha.

You have to put up with constant badgering pms of desperate boys, so you don't have to worry about them spamming "RES YOU N000B!111!!!" haha.

Fire totally is not girly. Ice maybe... something less smelly and obviously fatal. I like little girly stuff rather than 'girly'... Whenever I've played an offensive magical type, I've always used illusion or ice... and just slowed people down... I'm pathetically idealistic. :/ lol

Hey... I worship Hello Kitty... and I'm a guy...

Of course, the worship might have something to do with my fear that if I don't pay proper tribute, Hello Kitty will devour my soul...

Anyways...

Elementalists don't really look that girly... just more RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOty. Necros are gothy-girly, if you want to go there... Mesmers are definitely the top choice, though. And the Pink armor on them is very much... PINK.

That said, there's something oddly girly about female warriors... it's like they're thinking, "I'm cute, but your *** is mine, biotch!"

For the slightly more aggressive female gamer, I'd imagine.
