Fancy armor or just basic?

[SzymonS89]

So im just wondering if this game will present us with massive flashy armors with big shoulders and all that stuff most MMORPGs do?
I was hoping we will look sort of normal. As in trousers, shirt, helm, gloves, boots, belt. No massive flashy shoulders or anything along those lines.
I suppose Id tolerate something that represents the profession. For example for a ranger (OMG THEY RULE!) they would do something like a ghillie/camo suit or something. For elementalist maybe add like a flame or whatever element pattern as you walk so that it leaves a sting of fire behind you.
For a rogue like poison dripping down the hands or something. I think you get my point.

The only sort of flashy big thing Id love are wings. And not so that they allow you to fly but for example, im not sure if anyone has ever played conquer online, but when you put super gems in the sockets you have a chance to activate an effect like dragons flying around or wings popping up.
That would be cool.

Hopefully you know what I mean and know what ArenaNet will do with the armors.

I WANT TO SEE MASSIVE FLASHY WEAPONS THO!

There will be a wide variety of armor and weapons available, hopefully there will be something for all tastes. But I think it's fair to expect at least a little bit of flashy. Have a look at some of the armor examples:

This.



EDIT: The armor on the female char in Centaur's second picture looks a lot like 1.5k Luxon Armor

Which 1.5k luxon armor? IIRC there are 8 of them >.>

Armor looks very very nice, though.

I like the fact that we will have choices in what we can wear in this game.
