Guild Wars 2 Suggestions

(Discussion)

The secondary professions should add characteristics to the look of the primary professions. For example, take the look of a monk primary profession, but when it is paired with a necro secondary the monk could have a dark aura around it or glowing red eyes, or a warrior primary when paired with an elementist secondary could have wisps of fire emitting from it or chunks of ice frozen to the armor.

Why this is a good idea
  • This would add a visually pleasing element to the game.
  • Would diversify the looks of profession combinations
  • Relatively easy concept to add
Why it may not work out
  • More memory required to apply
  • Some effects might slow game play and frame rate
  • It might be easier to let players choose the visual effects for their characters, unrestricted by professions.
  • Making 2nd profession impact character appearance will likely lead to player discontent as players are already restricted in the phsyical appearance of their character (limitations likely to be imposed with GW2) and losing the already established threshold of character appearance would likely be unwanted
  • Problem because of easily changed secondary professions- character could sprout a mohawk(necro) from a shaved head(monk) or something.
