while the recent update did greatly improve combat gear aesthetics, town clothes had really received a beating. with outfits being stitched together so that parts cant be swapped the creativity of town clothes has deteriorated, even more so with certain items becoming undyeable tonics. i would have loved to wear the wonka outfit into battle, but now the entire set wont go together or be dyed to the correct colours.
my solution? revert town clothes back to the way they were, with a toggle next to them that when select they replace the appearance of your combat gear piece. this would allow the creativity of town clothes to return as well as customized aesthetics for people who just want to wear their charr cook boots or fancy top hat with their combat gear or any mix and match pieces, allowing for their own personal aesthetic choice.
while gameplay comes above appearances and with the new traits possibly needing some changes, i hope a fix for town clothes wont be a long time coming
