The more outfits and style head skins are released, the more its clear that making the hat part of the outfit when all town clothes were put into one was a mistake.

The head had to be kept separated, like they were in GW1.

Now, I can’t mix style headgear not bound to any armor class and any outfit:

  • I can’t bring the devil horns with the rainment of the lich or the bloody prince’s outfit.
  • I can’t show my elementalist Flame eye or any neromancer or mesmer masks under the Ancestral outfit or Noble Court outfit.
  • I can’t put on a top hat with my noble count outfit.
  • I can’t use the Wizard or Witch hats hat and the hexed or witch’s outfit.
  • I can’t bring the Phantom hood with the mad king’s or witch’s outfit. +

But the worst part of it is knowing that I could! But I just can’t!

All outfits must have a separated head so it shows in personal story cinematics. So all new outfits are already split in the head.

And I really doubt anyone will care about clipping if they can mix and match hats from different outfits and get the style headgear as hats instead skin, or even both as hats and skins. Or show the head armor along their outfit, and a hat along the rest of their armor without having to transmute it every time they just want to put on a hat or some glasses.

The benefits are too big not to do it:

  • Add a hat slot in the outfit panel.
  • Add an outfit wardrobe tab for that slot.
  • Add to that wardrobe slot the skins that were previously town clothes, the ones that are part of the current outfits, and many of the skins that are masks, hats and the other spare parts usable regardless of armor class that do no look like armor (e.g.: Lawless is part of an armor set, so that won’t be added, but the Wreath of cooperation a spare one, so that’ll be added).
  • These skins would be both in the hat slot and usable in heaad armor, so people can choose whether they want to equip them as hat or apply them to armor, they won’t lose any currently applied appearances or anything like that, they’ll just gain the option to put on their glasses in the hat slot instead having to apply them as armor skin.
  • Make it dyeable, of course.
  • Hiding the hat would be independent of the outfit and armor.
  • Hiding the hat would show the head armor if it isn’t hidden.

I’m not asking for town clothes to come back. Just the hats.
We are missing to much without that.

I support this idea 100%
This is a MUST. Outfits are cool and all but the ability to customize them just a bit is very important. Especially after the recent count outfit. So many girls running around looking exactly the same. Letting us add a different head piece would be a step in the right direction!

I really my miss my fancy santa look anet pls.
I don’t think it’s necessary to give even more examples as above – but it’s generally my main gripe with costumes. Mix and matching was the part I loved the most in guild wars 2. There’s even whole websites dedicated to this (gw2 fashion if I’m allowed to name it). But the current outfit direction just turns everybody into the same with a huge loss of individuality. I can understand some reasoning for models / armor class /clipping / time issues. But it does not seem too unreasonable to keep hats separate from the rest of the garments. So I’m all for this!

This has been brought up so many times, part of me wants to despair at it ever happening. On the other hand, Anet really does listen eventually. Since we know the hats are already separate, this is a reasonable idea. And dang it, every time it comes up, I sign it. I would love to be able to keep my glasses on all the time, or [fill in any of the ideas listed above].

Please please pleasy please Anet. /signed

It was possible in Guild Wars 1 to do this and it makes a big difference in how the costumes look. My norn necro can keep her Trickster Demon face mask while wearing a costume for example, rather than having to chose between being bare faced or the costumes helm.

Yes please.
Allow us to, when hiding the head on the outfit, to show the equipment helm. And if we want to really show our face, we just have to hide both the outfit and the equipment helm.

I wholeheartedly support this. Outfits being in one piece hinders customisation by a lot! Items like the top hat is really missed opportunity with the charr (i love how they wear it!), as you can’t mix it with the noble count outfit or the fancy winter outfit.

Before this Halloween i did not really care, but since we got the Hexed Outfit, I would LOVE to be able to use that hat with my normal armor, I just love those strawhat hat stuff, please make more if you so want!

We might be a few in this post, but you would make us so happy with this change!

Dungeons being about how fast you clear then compared to being able to clear them makes me sad.

The suggestion was to allow us to use outfits with armor helmets, not armors with outfit helmets, although if they took the outfit helmets (which are clearly already separate from the rest of the outfit, otherwise we wouldn’t be able to toggle them on/off) and made them available as helmet skins, I wouldn’t be unhappy either.

For example, I know that many players are really fond of the straw hat and would love to be able to wear that with their combat clothes (for female AND male characters).

The suggestion was to allow us to use outfits with armor helmets, not armors with outfit helmets[…]

This particular suggestion asks for making them hats that work in a similar way to GW1’s hats:

  • In one hand we have the armor pieces
  • In the other hand we have ‘hat’ and ‘outfit’.

The hat covers the head if active.
The outfit covers the body if active.
If either isn’t active, the armor underneath is shown, which is helm for the hat, and the rest of th armor for the outfit.

So players would be able to do all four possible combinations:

  • Helm with armor.
  • Hat with outfit
  • Hat with armor.
  • Helm with outfit

So, mostly 3 things would be added from the player’s point of view:
- Hat slot.
- Hat wardrobe with a list of existing skins, plus any new hats added.
- Hat checkbox to hide the hat.

I agree. The head should be separate, and that would give us more visual customization

The GW1 “outfit” or “costume” system is better than what we currently have. It should be implemented in GW2. Yet again, a great idea that Anet already had… yet did not implement in this game.

Noble count outfit + rascal mask = The Phantom of the Opera which would have been my Halloween costume if it was technically possible.

There’s at least 3 separate costume contests going right now…

I really want my mesmer to wear Reading Glasses with the Noble outfit, as glasses are part of his character. I know a lot of people would love to pair the top hats with that outfit, too.

I think that if we could have just a little bit of customization with the outfits, people might be more eager to buy them.

This was one of my favorite things to do with the costumes in Guild Wars 1 but now I feel like I am forced to like both parts instead of just one.

I would buy even the other costumes that I don’t have right now if I could simply wear them as I want to: Armor + Hat, Costume + Helmet.

Remember the cool looking combination on first winters day?

-Winters day clothing
-Aviator Glasses
-Boxing Gloves

Getting rid of armor sets containing single pieces was a big punch in the face for people who enjoyed the awesome customization GW2 started with and was known for.

Regarding the suggestion: yes… please give us at least the possibility to choose between hats.

This will mean FUN to us. A game is about having FUN.
