Guild Wars 2

The five playable races already have NPCs that sell Culture Armor and Weapon sets. But we don’t have any that could provide us with town clothes.

Maybe this could be a way for us to get gear we’ve already seen available on NPCs of our race. Or new clothes all together.

It could work just like the normal vendors, and be located somewhere within our city.

Oh my god yes please. I’d pay a lot to change my hideous sylvari town clothes.

What were you thinking? Leg warmers?

rofl! ok, yeah, no leg warmers, please! but GREAT idea! heck, even put it in the gem store, i’d buy! each of my characters are individual, so the face that one loves her pirate outfit doesn’t mean the rest will! and there’s a HUGE scarcity in town clothes right now!!! so yeah, please please please??

Where do the NPCs get their town clothes anyway? The Master Leatherworker in Divinity’s Reach looks pretty awesome with his leather jacket and belts upon belts. I would love to be able to wear those clothes.

At the moment we are stuck with either our default town clothes, which honestly don’t suit some characters (noble human wears the same clothes as a human raised on the streets) OR we can buy gimmicky clothes off the gem store. Why aren’t there any other “normal” town clothes available?

In fact, I think that there should be craftable town clothes available in each of the three armour crafting lines – or a brand new crafting line just for town clothes – as well as a variety of “Fashion Merchants” around the world.

I know of a Charr in the Charrlands that gives you a headband as an honorary member of his warband. The same could be applied around the world. Save a hekket from a swarm of wasps and get some special tribal head piece. Befriend a grawl to get some body paints. Maybe a Sylvari Fashion Merchant could sell some sort of “grown” clothes to the other races? Or have an Asura Fashion Merchant who creates asuran-style clothes? Norn pelts, anyone?

I see a lot of potential in the Town Clothes system, but the future doesn’t look too bright as it is heavily shadowed under the gem store at the moment..

I believe that they already have plans for this, most likely making town clothes available through the Gem Shop. We’ll just have to be patient and wait. :-)
