Guild Wars 2

You must realize that you are missing out on a ton of gem purchases since your holiday fashions are relegated to being town clothes. Please return to a “costume” option for town clothes (or at least make them armor skins), and completely remove the less than stellar town brawls. Horridly horrid plan of action atm. Seriously.

I disagree.

They should enhance them instead. I am very frustrated on a lack of costume vendor. I should be able to go to a costume vendor, get a town clothes and go out adventuring. Instead, they have to clutter up my bank.

The costume brawls would be better if there were more accessable costumes based on leveling scattered throughout the game.. skill tests of sorts with rewards. Events.

This would give the people who buy the proper costume brawls more people to have fun with. I got the witch costume solely to help people with this.

I do however believe adding a costume slot (like in terraria) that could take either town clothes or armor would be great. It would overwrite the appearance of your statted armor.

Won’t happen though, cuz transmute stones cost monies and people would use them less perhaps.

Anyway, both features can co-exist.

Costumes are cool, adding more, especially through seasonal events and as achievement awards would be a much better way to go. I’d love to be able to switch to glorious town clothes that show off my human noble heritage.

I understand that they might want to keep them as a cash shop thing, but they have far less value if they are all simply purchased. Perhaps getting “plans” for clothes from the suggested methods then having to “hire” a “professional tailor” or whatever for gems would be a solution in that case… Complex to eventually work in, but definitely a cool feature.

In all my games played, clothing is the thing I spend my money on the most. I would be happy to buy that winter suit if I could transmute it to my armor. I do not care anything about showing off some 700 gem novelty item for the few minutes I’m in a town.

I too wish they would drop this idea OR have the items transmutable to armor but if you equip the skin into your town clothes you get the brawl skills.

I’ve seen people say that town clothes don’t look like something you fight in, nor does a vast majority of armor in the game that is used during battle. I recently purchased gems but I really have nothing in the store that I would even spend them on. Leaves me with the feeling that I may not charge gems again.

They just really need a costume box where all the town outfits can be stored either its soulbound, account bound or not. My bank is filling up and at this rate by the time i buy all the bank slots it will just be full of costumes :/

Since this is once again relevant, I figured I would rez it. Why waste time and talent on things no one really uses? Please just make them costumes to be worn in place of our armor in the same vein as GW. I don’t think that is asking too much…

I agree with the concept of making town clothes something more functional. I would advise ANet to take a look at LOTRO for an example of how to do cosmetic clothing/armour right and borrow from that.

More skills on costume brawls please, then a legendary costume that is your class, so you can finally duel, lol.

Town clothes should not be replaced with costume slots. The things they should do is offer more town clothes and toys, both in the gem store and town clothes vendors.

Costume brawls are not part of the town clothing outfits. The skills are in toy weapons themselves.

Having the option to swap between a toy weapon and a normal weapon while wearing town clothing, would be cool. Town clothing would then have weaker armor stats then your normal armor.
