If the thought of an individual liberally covering them self in butter and sitting in a chair staring at a computer monitor with a maniacal grin disturbs you... well, I have nothing to say to you, sir.
I know I sound like a fanboy when I say this, but for the first time ever, a game has made several rather sweeping and grandiose claims and actually followed through with them rather satisfactorily.
Those manifestos got me ridiculously hyped up, and when the beta weekends came around, I wasn't let down in the slightest.
I compressed the files somewhat into .jpg in an effort to make all 300+ images fit. Otherwise, it was rejecting the original .png files.
That may account for the graphics settings. Otherwise, I work on "High" graphics settings.

The people in the past who convinced themselves to do unspeakable things were no less human than you or I. They made their decisions; the only thing that prevents history from repeating itself is making different ones.

Charr females and males wear pretty much the same armour, in lore there was a huge and bloody equal rights movement for female charr that eventually led to the overthrowing of their theocracy and the creation of modern charr society. Charr males and females are equal in every respect.
Norn, however, are definitely the most eggregious of this. Norn female armor isn't really even armor. It's stripper outfits. Tier one is fine, but it gets progressively worse from there...

I think one of the female sylvari light armors basically consists of a big fig leaf...

Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.

"You need not fear us, unless you are a dark heart, a vile one who preys on the innocent; I promise, you can’t hide forever in the empty darkness, for we will hunt you down like the animals you are, and pull you into the very bowels of hell." Iron - Within Temptation
Considering how cool the Sylvari's bodies look (HOLY GLOWSTICKS BATMAN), I actually really like armour that shows off their skin, for both males and females.
Well I'm just popping in to let everyone know I'm still alive, still in the guild, and all that; though honestly I wouldn't be suprised if no one noticed my dakka hiatus (real life and Diablo 3 are to blame for that), I don't exactly leave an impression.
Now to add something GW2 related to my post I think I've settled on my characters:
Sylvari Necromancer
Human Thief
Human Mesmer
Charr Guardian
Norn Warrior
Also that was an excellent post with all the armour pics, exalt and all that good sir. I'm also actually suprised at how modest (by vidya gaemz standards) the armours are, now I just hope they're all easy to obtain.

With Skyrim, Diablo 3, and GW2 I don't think I'll ever get outside, might as well stare at the sun for a few days while I can.
On the plus side I'll pretty much never have to buy another video game except for Diablo 4, GW3, TES: VI, Diablo 5, GW4, TES: VII, Diablo 6.....

Well here's the relevant info from the link if you're having trouble
"We will be conducting a stress test on Thursday, August 9 from 12:00 Noon PACIFIC Time to 4:00 PM PACIFIC Time."
I know what you mean about the surreal thing and time slowing down. I'm just lucky to have 2 huge time-sink games. Honestly, I haven't felt like I've been waiting that much, you just gotta find something fun to occupy yourself with.
