Guild Wars 2

Hi,

It’s been bugging me over the last week now that ive started to really customise my character so much more that we are really limited to one apperance on our charatcer, this is apart from the Town Clothing option that i can say i’ve not used since day one of release. I feel this is a waste of space and to my knowledge from looking around ive probably seen 2% of the population in game using this device.

Why not drop this and just give us a seconday open slot system that we can change with maybe our secondary fav armour set. this can be obviously cosmetic as your wearable armour you have on overides the armour in your secondary panel.

I think many more people would then start using this feature and not let it go to waste.

Oh and another thing please drop the gold amount on tier 3 race armour as its totally crazy asking us to pay out 20 gold for a rare part of armour with worse stats than exotic you can get off the TP. I know most will transmute the stats anyway so this mean you want us to pay 20 gold for one bit of armour skin. That’s a lot of coin for little return.

Also more of an idea but how about giving us a map cooldown to a major town. maybe 4hrs cooldown or something, happy to work to obtain this but i think a good few people like to try save their silver coins and feel gutted shedding out 3+ silver on those big jumps when perhaps they can save a few coin now and again using a map system.

Hope these ideas reach out to more people and get noticed to benifit us all in the world of GW2.

It could be used for some clothing for crafting.

An automatic change to town clothing in cities would be nice too.

Both could benefit immersion.

I’ve already amde a thread with suggestion to improve transmutation system. Please take a look at it and give your support if you like it. Strength in numbers

No wouldnt want to see any automatic clothing change not really the type to run around in some frilly shirt which town clothing looks like now, lol. Just allow the secondary tab to be free for anything that give people that want town clothing to still use maybe being incorporated into crafting as you say but also allows the player that wants another armor set to use the secondary for that instead.

I agree, noone I see uses the town clothing option. A feature that simply isn’t used does deserve a second thought. There are things they could do to make it more viable and fun. The way it was handled in terraria was perfect. You could put the town armor in the proper slot to gain the skills from it or in the visual slot to gain only the appearance and use the stats from your other armor. It simply made sense.

The tier 3 armor is indeed terrible stat wise especially considering its cost. A skin should not cost 20 gold and I would also prefer the armor simply had better stats of say.. the 1 gold exotics floating around everywhere. Its less of an affording it problem and more of a “thats just odd” problem.

You can go to town very easily by entering the mists in pvp and going to lions arch from there and then to any town you wanted. You can also get the hall of monuments crystal from a pirate in a lions arch cave which will take you to hall of monuments if you need to just quickly duck out of an area to afk or something.

What i would like to happen with town clothing is, for them to be auto switched to when you enter a town (perhaps a toggle option in the menu) and that anything can be put in the section (to show off that epic armor you have but haven’t updated stats wise etc). So it would work like so, i put my cool looking armor in the town cloths section and tick the box that states “automatically switch to when in a town”, then out farming/questing i’d have on my standard armor and as soon as i hit a town it simply switches over to the cool looking “town” armor to show off.

With regards to the cultural armor, since day 1 i’ve just not understood why they cost gold full stop (and yes the prices are way to high – as are karma weapons), IMO the armor should be for karma and the weapons should be for gold. The reason? – the cultural armor is actully something you can’t get looks wise anywhere else (you can only get that style armor from that vendor), YET the karma weapons can be gotten on the trading posts,/via drops and other vendors (again, looks wise).

And yes, a hearthstone would be very nice indeed for free town travel (on a cooldown), or at least stop making the travel costs scale with distance and level (it scaling with level is just bad).

1. People only buy cultural armor for the looks. it’s some sort of achievment when you finally get it. I am strongly against lowering their price. In fact I wouldnt mind if they were more expensive.

2. Agreed, especially because cash u get for events doesnt really scale up to your lvl.

I know the cultural stuff is for looks (i have the achievment as i own the entire light Asura set – it’s AWESOME), but that was kinda the point to why they should cost karma and not gold. I mean the weapons cost karma and they are for looks aswell (certainly not for stats as you can get the same/better stats for a few silver) and yet they cost karma – and the looks can be purhased for a few copper on the TP (which makes no sence at all).

With regards to the gold cost, i guess what’s considered ok for price is personal choice.

Truth be told, i think they need to redo all the karma weapons looks to actully be 1 offs (looks that can only be purchased at those vendors) and infact make them proper cultural weapons, they then should make all the cultural armor cost karma aswell to match the system.

This way all the 1 off cultural “looks” stuff costs karma and has to be earned and can’t simply be purchased (as in buy gems for cash, convert to gold and buy the cultural armor) – it just makes more sence this way (IMO).

Don’t get rid of town clothing per se. Just add more “buttons”/“tabs” for different armor sets. Since the mechanism is already in place to swap armor, why not allow armor sets?

Actually you are right.

So do I. I’m a little surprised that others don’t use it. I absolutely love my Norn’s town clothes, and I would be really disappointed if they were removed for those of us who do enjoy them.

For whatever reason the quote feature is not showing up on this thread so ya… old school style

@Shadowborn.3529
What you are saying is that you do not care about town clothing or know how to properly use it so everyone should have theirs deleted so you feel better about your character? And 2% is a horrid made up statistic lol…. every time i go to Lions Arch I see players with a costume on rather if its the Chefs clothes or the pirates clothes etc..
:) Even if they were going to be deleted you failed to realize the financial mess that would come from that very selfish decision of yours.

1) Compensation to those who bought town clothes
2) Refunds financially which can become very messy in some countries, not everyone pays via Debit x)

To Recap:
1) You don’t like town clothing because you don’t want to use it so it should be deleted from the game so no one can use it.
2) You want to create a ton of work on Anet in terms of scripting and refunding real life cash to everyone.
3) You want to create a massive rage fest for those users who lost content that they actually enjoyed wearing even though they got their cash back (at a way later date).

Please back up your arguments with more logical and non-selfish points then something along the lines of:
“I don’t like this delete it NOW "

Marked as a TROLLER (Wolfey).

Wolfey where to start. Well firstly you need to really work on your attitude and stop trolling, secondly i have not stated anywhere in my post that “you” or “anyone” else should not have this option. I suggested that the secondary slot is to be freed to allow for introduction of armour this does not stop you running round in your frilly clothes Wolfey! But give us other players the option to place a secondary armour set into use which is not being used by LOADS of people (2%) due to this not being interesting.

So “To Recap”

1.) Wolfey you need to work on communication and read posts correctly
2.) Its not a ton of work on Anet. Refunds are not even needed to be concidered in this post. Any gem purchase for clothing is still worked into cosmetic town or armour slots.
3.)Your off topic and wrong as no refunds would need to take place.

And please dont bother posting (trolling) on people posts if you dont have a valid point as your just wasting time of mine and others with your bad attitude that you really need to sort out.

I like this post and its valid so please ignore post from people that want to TROLL and cause arguments!

Simple fact is that terraria did it better. I’m not trying to sound mean or anything, I just wish ArenaNet would look at how terraria did it and consider a similar system because it is simply perfect in most ways.

It wouldn’t require breaking any current content and could be a lvl 60-80 unlock for each vanity slot or require a 3 gold or so manual in addition with the profession training manuals.

Its alot easier to give everyone their cake and let them eat it too if you stop thinking only about what benefits yourself and just try to come up with ways it would benefit everyone and create more variety in the game (I see alot of people in the same stuff, constantly).

If it doesn’t negatively impact the game, why remove it? That I don’t understand. You’re complaining about something that doesn’t do anything… haha.

PS: Take up space? I don’t know what you’re doing. Not a clue.

What you want is like Lotro outfit system.
