Can you guys make some elegant / feminine MTX?
I like some of the badass MTX skins, but not enough to fork over $50+ for an outfit. I know PoE has a gritty style, and I love the game, but I'd really like the ability to customize my character to look a bit more feminine than "She-Beast, Queen of Decapitation." There are a lot of elegant masculine skins, and a lot of the wings are pretty, but if there were some dresses, sarongs, kimonos, or other flower-shaped armor skins, I'd love it. I'm not asking for maid outfits. I'm talking about elegant feminine battle armor designs. Nothing that violates the style of the game. I just think there's a lot of potential within PoE's aesthetic style to branch out to more specifically feminine armor skins.
tl;dr: Not interested in buying macho-looking skins. Will spend money on feminine armor skins. Last bumped on Mar 29, 2018, 3:50:25 PM

PoE already features the kind of armor real women actually wore. Some of it is already quite elegant, such as the Fire Armor pack, the Pure Light Armor pack, and the Gothic Armor pack.
After all, real women in armor ... perhaps a bit cleaner than in Wraeclast, but much like the MTX available. Given that, maybe you should be more specific about what you mean when you say "feminine" and "elegant" in regard armor?

I totally understand what you're saying. And maybe GGG is going for mostly historically realistic depictions of combat garb. I know female warriors wore basically the same armor as male warriors historically. And maybe it's just my innate girliness at work here, but I feel there's a big potential to include more female stylization to PoE's MTX options.
I'll look up some images of what I'm thinking of and post them here, as you've posted some great examples of women wearing the types of armors that are already available in PoE. I'm thinking, in addition to stylizing some armor sets to be more feminine, of also making more extensive use of the fantasy elements PoE uses. I'd really like to see more glowy, pretty feminine effects available, at least for the female PoE players who might like them. I think some of the male players would buy them too. I'll post examples when I find them. |

" Examples would definitely help make clear what you are thinking of here, for sure. :) |

Yeah, the style of most MTX is way too much the same. I went looking for some caster skins, even simple ones, to make the witch look like an actual witch / sorceress, but found basically nothing. Only over the top flashy "macho" skins.

" Out of interest: have you looked at the lower tier supporter pack armor skins? Like the seeker set? Also, in MTX, the desert and wasteland sets. I'm curious to know where they fit in your imagining. |

at the very least, they could add some robes (long and flowy, not bulky) and assassin (form-fitting leather/cloth) type clothes / mtx. Maybe even some casual but stylish furs+leathers.

rawr. fear me.

The mtx you buy fit to the shape and size of the character you put them on. So if you buy some of the 'elegant masculine' skins you like, then put them on a female character, they will look female.
Check out the scholar mtx, for eg; especially the main body part. I think it looks awesome on my witch. Face it, all of your suggestions are worse than this idea:
