I would love to see a wardrobe system available in this game. Similar to how City of Heroes and DC Universe Online allow you to unlock a certain skin once its been acquired.

How I see it working:
Once you find a piece of gear, you keep the gear, but also unlock that particular skin in a wardrobe (type of library), that you can then enter and start re-skining anything you’re currently wearing with whatever you have unlocked. (Similar to the dyes library).

You could select from anything you’ve previously unlocked in order to come up with some very interesting new looks in a preview window. Then once you’re happy, you’re taken to a confirmation screen where it will add up all the transmutation stones required for re-skinning. So that way Arenanet can still charge us transmute stones.

I think this is especially handy for people who have spent many MANY hours grinding dungeons for a particular armor set. You can unlock the dungeon skin and reuse it at a later date if you want to take a break from that look for a while. I don’t want to have to run the dungeon 30 more times if I want to get that look back one day.

In summary:
- All acquired gear skins are saved in a ‘wardrobe’ type library
- Re-skin anything you’re currently wearing with whatever skins you’ve unlocked in your library (similar to the dyes)
- Preview an entire new look
- Proceed with purchase, where you will be charged the amount of transmutation stones required (with a link to buy more if you’re missing them)

Would love, love, LOVE to see something like this implemented some day!

Oooh, I’m definitely signing this suggestion. I would love this, then I wouldn’t have to constantly buy sets off of the TP when I want to change my look. :P

Thanks Kunshu! I’m pretty excited about this idea

Still not sure if this is something that could easily be implemented or not. I don’t want to pretend I know anything about video game programming… but it would appear they already have the infrastructure in place with the dye library and current use of transmute stones. So this doesn’t seem like a giant leap.

Hope this idea gets noticed

Your post in general didn’t last long, so I decided to bump this

I have been asking for a better town clothes/skin system since BWE1.

I wish that anet would at least add more town clothes (like NPC clothes not the store’s modern stuff). They could let us craft them or buy them (ingame or gem store :/), but it seems the only town clothes we get are going to be only though the store., I have bought some of the outfits but I would prefer that they add non-store ways to get TC as well (I would buy NPC like clothes if they added them but I need storage first)

I have been collecting links to these kinds of suggestions (see sig), there are many different idea’s on how to improve the TC & skins, and while I would prefer something like LoTRo system (which is just a better version of the TC i.e. wearable in combat and any clothes can be put in and buy-able additional wardrobe (TC) slots), though the DCUo system has it’s perks .Really anything would be an improvement.

Thanks so much for helping bump this post. I posted it in the general forum (it didn’t last long before it was locked because of the double post) but it did receive a lot of positive feedback. Hopefully arenanet notices

I would like to see an acount wardrobe, a place where you can put all your soulbound armor and weapons.
Once it is soulbound only one charector can use it and I do like have different setups depending on what I want to do in the game.
Half my inventry is taken up with soulbound armor and weapons.

I’m up for anything that makes being fashionable easier. Though my inventory is already cluttered with outfits for different zones, this would just add to my clutter (more outfits). I need a closet in my backpack to hold and organize my clothing.


I’m sorry I stepped outta yer box, don’ worry, if
ya whine enough they’ll put me right back.

I am 100% for a seperate wardrobe bank, like the materials bank.
Make it account bound.
This would only add more Gem Purchases.
Collectors have a strong desire to fill those empty bank slots.

If Anet really wanted to profit from this, make it a soulbound wardrobe on the character, but with enough slots to cover ALL costumes.
I am sure people would buy multiple sets of certain costumes.

In either case, slots must be added when new costumes become available.

+1, I’ve seen so many interesting armours during my travels, but keep track of them is a bit of a hassle.

We all would love to see a better system…I’ve been suggesting it since beta. Can only hope they are actually reading these and have it in the works though I’m starting to doubt it.

Heya Thealienamongus, good on ya for compiling that list in your sig, very organised!
I wonder if you saw this suggestion for advanced gear options . It has three main functions: adding a series of gear/costume tabs to hero screen; making all stats, skins, and upgrades on gear swappable; allowing you to set up costume programs so your outfit automatically changes for you for each game area.

I don’t remember the lotro system well, but whatever gives more flexibilty in this area helps appeal to, and retain, the role players, escapists, and socialiser players all the more. It’s a small wonder that these requests for improvement have been made so frequently but ignored for so long.

People vary.
