Guild Wars 2

Having problems with your inventory being full? Wish you never would have vendored that set of gear you liked the looks of? Tired of farming more and more sets of gear just to get the stats you want? Choose a new way to handle your gear!

Sorry for the cheesy sales pitch, lets get down to business.

One of the great customization options in gw2 is the dye mode. You just click a button on your hero panel and TADA you’re able to pick the dye for your armor.

Why isn’t there a Armor skin and Stat Mode? I would think it would be awesome to just have a button at the top of the hero panel that you click and you are customizing the looks or stats.

Right now your inventory becomes cluttered with multiple sets of gear. Not only that, but what if you want to keep your look but you want to use different stats? You have to farm a new set of gear! =(

If gear could be converted or once obtained it unlocks the stats and skin. Then you could have much more user and inventory friendly way to manage all your awesome armor and weapon skins you have discovered. You would just click the Armor Skin button or the Stats button and use a selection menu like the dye menu and choose which skins and stats you want. This would also be awesome for people who want to collect every skin and/or every stat in the game without making their inventory a nightmare.

For the good of the playerbase! lets get this change implemented!

I believe this is what transmutation stones are for.

What if I want both looks?

This idea would make it so you have a easy access to all your skins of armor. Also, instead of being forced into a endless grind to get all the stats on all the looks you want (which clutters your inventory and bank), you would be able to choose which stats are on the skin you want to show.

Letting players look the way they want while adding a better item stat design adds to player involvement in the game. It also rewards players who do all content by allowing them access to all the skins they have discovered, without making that feat one of inventory space. Players may want to stay in a zone longer to get that last item in the set and not have to worry about keeping transmute stones on them.

Transmutation stones would become obsolete with this system, but transmutation zones are really just a kitten system that has a lot of room for improvement

Another MMO I played did this well, giving you two ‘outfits’ to start with, on top of your base gear. After that, you could pay to unlock up to seven and a wardrobe to store even more items in.

A system for those of us who like to change our look fairly regularly would be nice, but Anet love their transmutation stones too much.

The “outfits” thing is in the right direction. I’m not sure if I would want them to limit it at all. I think an exact copy of the dye system only with armor skins and stats would be awesome.
