ArenaNet talk:Guild Wars 2 suggestions/Animated armor textures

Maybe a flashing dye that flashes a billion color transitions in a split second. Then I can make a character called seizure man and put this eye burning dye on, but seriously I like this idea IMO /signed
 * Fun, but would really take a toll on a low-rate computer to have a town full of shiny effects I think. So one should be able to turn off the graphical effect. Otherwise it should be limited to the effects of for instance chaos gloves.

Different armor skins based on role and/or title
The concept is basically just a visual novelty guided by the concept that each player has different playing styles. If you're the tank who's always taking all the heavy damage for your team, maybe an alternate armor skin that is very battered looking, chipped up and cracked for the armor you have on could be unlocked and switched to and from. Alternatively if you consistently do massive amounts of AoE damage, maybe a dry blood encrusted armor skin would suit you better. Alternatively if this system were title based, if you have vanquished every area in hard mode, maybe you would unlock an armor skin with a glowing aura effect, or something else recognizable as a more visual manifestation of your achievements. It wouldn't be difficult to implement and wouldn't take up too much hdd space. --Frank
 * Isn't that what Luxon/Kurzick armor is for? Like, if you're a Luxon, and you donate Luxon faxtion, you'd get Luxon Armor? --Mother2Fan
 * Only If owning Luxon armor meant you had maxed luxon title. Good idea IMO. Id love getting a little aura of black smoke to go with Slayer of All title, or glowing eyes and a halo with Holy Lightbringer =) Biz 18:48, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

I would love to see that in game, it wouldn't have to take very much editing -- hell, even I could just edit skins to add some blood or dents. Other ideas are - ripped clothing if you wear cloth and take lots of damage, singed clothing if you use alot of fire, muddy clothing if you're a ranger, etc... --Poison 18:25, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Great idea, though I would like some playing requirement to every prestige armor anyway.
 * Why is this here? How is it related to animated armour textures? -- Gordon Ecker 03:46, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
