Guild Wars 2

I know there are “More town clothes” topics already, but this one would focus on the town clothes that are already in the game since day 1 – except only for NPCs.

In every major city you’d see NPCs running around in town clothes unique to their race, in multiple colors (so the dye channels should work on those too) and variations (mix and matching pieces).

I wonder if we will ever get these “cultural” town clothes for our characters, since there are many really cool ones among them and I’m sure that not just role players would be happy about them.

Perhaps since they are race specific, they could be another gold/karma(you name the currency) sink in the game or maybe they could be even hidden at certain vendors/NPCs (like that single one rugged town clothing head gear we have thus far from an NPC for helping them fix a vehicle)

It would be nice to know if we could possibly get them in the near or far future, I’d really appreaciate it if an ArenaNet developer would leave their opinion on this here.

Below you can see some attachments of most (probably not all) of these town clothes.

Oh my. Yes, there have been many calls for NPC garb made into player armor/townclothes, but you added in some very pretty pictures to help make the point.

Here’s a personal story outfit that I want so much for my warrior (she’s the one modeling it in this shot and it is ICly -perfect- for her):

Ikr? The universal town clothes we get in the gem store are nice and everything…but they lack this unique racial vibe the above attached clothes have. I really hope we will be able to collect them for our characters one day, I’d love to give a turban for my asura or dress up my norn in the raven shaman clothes. Our humans could look more diverse too from street rat to noble and the charr and sylvari clothes would be awesome too.

Please, ArenaNet, at least consider this! The models already exist <3

Yes please! I love all of those outfits (except male Sylvari)

Yes please. We don’t need Anet to make a bunch of new clothing, just let us use the clothing in the game already! There’s a great pirate outfit I want, all “yo ho ho and a barrel of rum”, but instead my only pirate option is the overdone halloweeny costume with the wood sword. Not everyone wants to be jack sparrow. (okay, everyone wants to be jack sparrow, but someone has to play the part of the salty deckhand too)

I made a post with this idea one or two months ago. Buy yours with the images does a better job explain the idea.

Well, at least these are already in the game and just need to be made useable by players.

You just need an NPC vendor in each city, and in all honesty, I was expecting to see NPC clothing vendors during the beta and foolishly believed that their absence was simply down to the game being in beta.

If such an option is added, then the clothing should only be purchasable with in-game gold, not gems.

I sort of thought the same, uknortherner. Was a little dissapointed, that we couldn’t get those town clothes, since almost every third screenshot we saw in blogposts featured at least one of them (though back then we couldn’t be sure whether they would be armor pieces or town clothes). Their lack didn’t and never will stop me from playing GW2…still, I would feel much happier if we would have access to them too. I know most players are all “meh” when they see new town clothes in the shop, but hey, these really do exist in the game already… ;P So maybe… -wink wink- I’m looking at you, Anet ~ -insert irresistible puppy eyes here-
