Guild Wars 2

I’m going to go out on a limb and assume (dangerous, I know) that I’m not the only person who would really like to be able to change the appearance of my characters gear (beyond just coloring it differently) without destroying the previous appearance. That way we can swap between multiple outfits without having to craft/acquire multiple sets of the same exotic gear that have been transmuted to look differently.

To that end, how about a Wardrobe tab in the Hero UI? Something similar to Rift or LotRO where you can throw the gear you want in their respective slots in the Wardrobe page and when activated those models overwrite the models of what you are wearing. You can even monetize it by selling additional wardrobe expansions in the gem store.

I’d love to see a change on how we have to deal with changing looks. Currently it’s either lose the looks, or lose the stats and I feel like it’s a terrible system. Wearing 100g worth of cultural armor and wanting to change looks into something new that eventually comes along, I’d love to have a way to store the previous looks somehow so I wouldn’t just lose it all together.

How about having an npc in home instance who gives away sets of armor you have collected? Say, you buy a full set of T2 cultural armor and at that point you could revisit that npc to get it again and again if you feel like wearing something else in between. It would still generate profit as transmutation stones would still be needed for changing looks but at least I wouldn’t have to worry about completely losing all the unique gear I will eventually acquire.

Could be used for those backpack skins we seem to be getting from living story. At the moment I don’t feel like I could use those skins since something better might come along and then I’d lose the previous skin forever…

Something definately needs to change and it’d be nice to be able to collect a wardrope of sorts like in spvp.
