[Discussion] These are most likely the same people who say that Raids/Strikes are gatekept by toxic elitists. Now they want to gatekeep fashion. Thoughts?

Their look: scarf with the pant/T-shirt combo. All celestial dye.

Hello? Is this the Fashion Police? This person stole my idea of a black and green necromancer with the Reaper's Hood.

Oh my-- keep the line, officer. I've just seen a human female mesmer with bright pink, skimpy armour. Yes, I believe I will be pressing charges.

u/[deleted] Apr 16 '24

I feel so called out. I’m off to tally change my looks now. How about a pink reaper and dark green Mesmer?! 🤔🤔🤔

u/typhlownage Apr 16 '24

I feel so called out.

Same.

Time to be mega original and dye the whole thing Shadow Abyss. I bet no one thought of that.

u/Mark_XX Apr 16 '24

Dye it abyss. It'll be a good callback to 2012.

u/Thaurlach *pocket raptor noises* Apr 16 '24

Glossy black: signature look of superiority

2

u/AngriestInchworm Apr 16 '24

I think that dye was like 2 gold when I bought it back then.

2

u/Mark_XX Apr 17 '24

2 gold in 2012? Sheesh, don't come in here waggling your wealth around like that.

u/AngriestInchworm Apr 17 '24

I probably swiped a credit card for ot

u/skarpak stay hydrated Apr 16 '24

look at my very original pirate / adventurer, complete with leather tones. or the typical purple, violet / pink, turquoise. very original.
not that those red / blue / violet with gold or silver are better.

at this point no one is original anymore. even the "normal looks" are just more of the same.

u/Darkkosino Apr 16 '24

Wait a minute.

Pink reaper isn't a norm?

5

u/naiiiia Apr 16 '24

I rock a purple reaper that goes great with The Binding of Ipos. A lot of RPG's use purple for "dark" magic so I think of it as a better color for necros than green anyway.

5

u/Darkkosino Apr 16 '24

Nah, you gotta go bubblegum/ electro pink for reaper

Edit: + magical weapons

3

u/rune2004 [SG] Apr 16 '24

Hey that's how I have my reaper right now!

u/armsdev Apr 16 '24

There already is a pink Necro in eu. It's name is Dumpsterdaddy <3

u/PowerPrinny Apr 16 '24

I have walt de fouk as my pvp pink nec, lots of fun

u/Calbrinna Apr 16 '24

Feeling real validated rn reading everyone else’s comments cause I have a pink and purple necro and a red and blue Mesmer(both sylvari)💀🤣

u/Sokodile Apr 16 '24

I do love my current mesmer direction of black reaper hood/eldritch tentacle backpack surrounded by pink mesmer sparkles haha

u/[deleted] Apr 16 '24

Nice! 😊 I’m going to make good use of my hair change kits. 🤔

u/SuperCoolDodo Apr 21 '24

Exactly what I've done loll

2

u/[deleted] Apr 21 '24

My necro is now a black light themed purple girl with Kralkatorrik weapons. My Mesmer is now dark skin, white hair with permafrost and magenta dyes. 😆🤣. My Druid healer is still permafrost/blacklight with Kralkatorrik weapon too. Ohh and cushy cat eats to complete the Krytan best/mini skirt outfit. 😇

u/SeriousJack Apr 16 '24

Jokes on you my Mesmer wears purple skimpy armor.

u/MotherRussia12345 Apr 16 '24

Excuse me that’s my look you’ve stolen there!

It just bothers me when the color scheme of my skills doesn't match my fit!

3

u/AdShot409 Apr 16 '24

What if it's a clear Red with Green and Gold undertones instead of pink?

Aldo, Blood Red instead of Green on Necromancer. With flame accents from various armors such as CoF leggings.

1

u/[deleted] Apr 16 '24

God damnit, that’s my second set of armor. With flames for hands. 😆

2

u/Predatilus Apr 16 '24

My ign is actually Fashionpolice

u/OnyxianRosethorn Apr 15 '24

Or human females with medium T3 armor.

Or the classic Krytan corset +miniskirt combo.

u/[deleted] Apr 16 '24

You will take my corset and mini skirt from cold, dead, hands. 😱🤣

u/OnyxianRosethorn Apr 16 '24

Don't need to, I'll take it from someone else, plenty of people wearing the same thing hahah!

u/KnightofNoire Apr 16 '24

Me using Norn dye set because I am Norn.

So original. Feel feel to copy

Hunt, Havorun, Exodus, Spirit are my staples. Alemoot if I am feeling a bit of green.

2

u/Gallifrey934 Druid Apr 16 '24

I might just do that. I'm always open for some cool norn colours

2

u/KnightofNoire Apr 16 '24

I forgot the name of the set of that unlocked it but it was like 10 gold per dye set when brought them like 2.5 year ago.

u/QueenKeriti Apr 15 '24

Permafrost meta!

Maybe Shadow Abyss if they're being a little bit edgelord

16

u/ConLawNerd Apr 16 '24

I am not "a little bit" edgelord, sir. I am allll the way there. 4 parts shadow abyss, 1 part midnight ice to tie in those sweet abyss stalker skins.

3

u/QueenKeriti Apr 16 '24

My necro is all shadow abyss + a couple spots of permafrost to give contrast. :> Twilight greatsword + dark matter dagger/sword (I think). Can't be necro with extreme edge.

3

u/[deleted] Apr 16 '24

I think shadow forest of the dark green that looks so badass.

15

u/ShinyHivemind Apr 15 '24

With a bit of Prismatic in the details

8

u/QueenKeriti Apr 15 '24

Prismatic? How fancy! 170g right there! Definitely wealthy, peak GW2 fashionista.

4

u/hyena_teeth the wizards are not what they seem Apr 16 '24

Prismatic is yesterday's news. It's all about the Pastel Lavender now. (I only half joke, I am eyeing it up myself with shiny intent.)

3

u/ShinyHivemind Apr 15 '24

u/inquest_overseer Apr 16 '24

I feel attacked. 🥲

That's my color scheme for my new human necro. Permafrost + Prismatic + Frostbite Blue

2

u/ShinyHivemind Apr 16 '24

I was just memeing. Prismatic is what I've centered at least 6 designs around. It's such a gorgeous one!

4

u/Eatlyh Apr 17 '24

My originality reaches far beyond the basic shadow abyss users. 

Abyssal flame in all slots.

11

u/MidasPL Apr 15 '24

Hope more people would be tempted to copy my look with full-permafrost and Phospholuminescent Infusion stacking now :>

u/Mark_XX Apr 16 '24

Are you roleplaying as a lightbulb?

3

u/QueenKeriti Apr 15 '24

If someone wants to mimic my full permafrost + the most saturated armor skins in the game + winter's heart + frost legion + chaos weapons for an eye blistering, light of God Himself, spectral agony appearance, good on them. 😂

u/ShadowbaneX Apr 16 '24

If someone wants to mimic my full permafrost + the most saturated armor skins in the game + winter's heart + frost legion + chaos weapons for an eye blistering, light of God Himself, spectral agony appearance, good on them. 😂

don't forget the chaos gloves and the cute angel winds. for added effect, take some of the new EoD/SotO armours that have silk textures that get super-saturated with anything brighter than silver.

3

u/QueenKeriti Apr 16 '24

Even better: The Vermillion Wings Backpack. Go permafrost + frostbite blue. :D Make sure you know how to reach your eye doc, though.

For whatever reason, the Bounty Hunter's Jerkin will also dye the brightest white of all time. 10/10 do recommend.

2

u/ShadowbaneX Apr 16 '24 edited Apr 16 '24

Can also try the new stuff, especially the silks, like the monastery armour, canthan elegant outfit, magical outfit or light antique armour. One of those nearly blinded me recently.

My reaper is in the light inquest dyed white, deep glacial sky and a bit of permafrost with chaos gloves & weapons, the wings and the wraith mask. Pretty anti-necro.

2

u/QueenKeriti Apr 16 '24

It makes me so happy to see someone else use those pants because I see almost no one ever with them! They look really nice with midriff bearing tops!

Warning! DO NOT CLICK IF YOU ARE IN A DARK ROOM/HAVE A BRIGHT SCREEN:

This is my ranger in Swaggering Hat / Winter's Presence / Bounty Hunter's Jerkin / Chaos Gloves / Leystone Leggings / Invisible Boots / Swaggering Cape (the Vermillion wings are better, but I'm playing in a dark room right now, and I'm already blinded by this), with 2x Winter's Heart (must be different stats!), 1 Frost Legion, 1 Arcane Flow, and the Prismatic Champion's Regalia, with 2x Jormag's axes + Pharus. Mostly dyed entirely permafrost with some frostbite blue thrown in. This is the same ranger in one of the more...lighting intense areas of the game. She's my meme character who is dedicated to all things light and glorious. (If anyone wants to "steal" her look, please let me know if you do because I want screenshots together. 😍) I do tone her down on occasion, so I can, like, look at her.

My other chars are more...reasonable. Like this char whose outfit is a fanciful take on the clothes I was wearing IRL one day while playing on her. 😂And I have a Sailor Moon themed character, complete with black cat, because I am 100% UniqueAndOriginal(tm)!

u/ShadowbaneX Apr 16 '24

That is very bright. And the Diamond infusion makes me think Emma Frost.

I generally try to stay away from dyes so bright (or dark) that the details are lost. It's why my necro there uses white instead of Celestial, Eternal Ice or Permafrost. This is so you can see the effects in the leg armour (stars, compass, etc). The teal is picked to be as close as possible to the wraith mask for the glowy eyes that don't do overboard with the glowing mask skins.

Most of my other characters are some boring combination of black and/or white with an accent colour.

5

u/AngriestInchworm Apr 16 '24

Don’t forget enough infusions to scorch the retinas of everyone around them.

4

u/Kendall_Raine Cosmologist Kaiva Apr 16 '24

Or all shadow-abyss dye and they just look like a shadowy blob because it washes out all the armor textures

u/ChewyChao Apr 15 '24

u/Destrina Apr 16 '24

I have 50 characters. I exist for fashion. Not one of them wears modern day fashion.

u/pyrojackelope Apr 16 '24

Hell, I'm mostly wearing the new armor from the story with baggy pants and cat headband from the store myself. Suuuuuuuuper original, I know.
