Guild Wars 2

Just browsing these forums, I’ve come up with an idea myself which I’d like to hear peoples thoughts of.

Armour sets – This feature would allow you to have multiple armour sets somewhere in the inventory screen, allowing you to make it so one click, and a completely new armour setup appears on your character, eg: Power to Vitality for special dungeon bosses, or Vitality to Condition Damage for PvP. This would allow you to switch armours with ease, not having to click every piece and getting all muddled up in the process.
I’ll list some pros and cons of how this system would work:

Pros:
*You’ll have a much easier time switching between PvP gear, to PvE gear, to WvW etc.
Err… That’s all I could think of… onto the cons I guess?

Cons:
*Could be exploited to a system where people would just switch to magic find gear at the end of fights for more loot (not sure how they would achieve this though).
That’s also all I could think of for the cons. I’d like to hear what you have to say and perhaps discuss with a few people on how this could work.

Thanks for reading.

You could have it so you can’t change during fight, just like with skills.

Cons:
*Could be exploited to a system where people would just switch to magic find gear at the end of fights for more loot (could be fixed by making it out of combat only).

I’d just like to point out that you can’t actually swap out gear or utilities mid-fight already.
Edit: Right? I know for a fact you can’t change out weapons or utilities. Did they leave it so you could still change armor? That’d be frighteningly inconsistent if true…

The idea of linking armor pieces to a custom set is pretty neat, although I’m not sure how much use people would get out of that.

Sounds pretty good. WoW have the good ol’ equipment manager where you set entire outfits and can switch between them in a click, and of course you can’t switch in combat.

Oh, you can’t switch? My bad, I’ll just edit that one out.
