Guild Wars 2

I like the idea of what style kits do. However what I don’t like is that in order for a person to preview ANY of the changes these items can do, you need to purchase them first. Why this doesn’t work well is some of the styles and colors are exclusive and not available from the character creation screen.

What if a person doesn’t like any of the new styles or colors on their character after purchasing the kit? Everyone’s character is unique to them and some styles might not look as good as they had hoped. But by that time it’s too late as the purchase has already been made.

I think ArenaNet needs to put in a type of salon/hair shop into the game where a player can preview ALL styles and colors (including exclusives)on their characters and if they like the look, the changes can be made with gems directly through the salon shop.

I would love to buy one of the kits to see how my character would look with a few changes, but the uncertainty of how these changes will look on my characters without the ability to preview first before buying the kits prevents me.

TL:DR
Remove the style kits and replace them with a salon shop in each city where you can preview changes first. Then pressing OK removes the gem fee and makes the changes.

I agree! I might want one but would like to preview it first.

They need the stylist like in Guild Wars 1. You talk to the NPC and a character creation like screen appears. From there you can make all the changes and preview them all. Then if you wish, you purchase the changes.

Several times I have considered making changes but didn’t as I couldn’t preview them and didn’t want to buy a kit without a preview. In Guild Wars 1, I made changes several times after previewing the options.

You also get them for free from Massive Achievement Chests. Just as a side note.

That was just a hair kit. What is being requested is a full makeover preview, hair and body. Available before purchase.

Hmmm. Ok. I had a hair kit sitting in my inventory. I thought that was it.

I can confirm 10k achievement chest gives 1x total make over kit.

Also the 5k chest.

As far as i remember 5k chest only gives hair make over.

It says total makeover kit in the wiki. But whether it does or not is irrelevant to this thread. The thread was asking for some sort Stylist NPC to be put in game.
