Feedback:User/Tiker/Making Sylvari less look like an elf

Rather than a new race concept, this is a small idea for Sylvari. Many people seem to want a beautiful looking race, yet to distance them from the "elven" stereotype. This has proven slightly difficult as the fact they have been redesigned showed. My idea is simply to "bring home" the fact that they are indeed plant orientated, regardless of how they look. Add a small mechanic that mimics a plant's reaction to sunlight and lack of it.

My proposition is that whenever a Sylvari is being played during the day, any flowers will open up. Additionally, the skin, any leaves, eyes will become slightly brighter than normal due to the sun's influence. At night however, the flowers will close and the colours of the Sylvari would become slightly paler due to lack of sun and influence of the moon and stars. This transformation would be very subtle and slow of course. It is meant to enhance the Sylvari and should only be noticeable in screenshots comparing them at the peak of the day and night. Vast colour changes are not what I'm proposing as that would ruin people's characters.

Note 1: This is indeed possible ingame as Ghostly Weapons are shown to glow blue at night.

Note 2: I'm not sure whether to suggest this for any "foliage heavy" Sylvari armours, as that could be too much? What do you think?

Thanks for reading,

PS this is not my idea but it's from Helikaon from GW2 guru.
