Guild Wars 2

One of the big things for people in MMO’s is the armor. Thats a given, and for the most part, I really like the armor presented but the game is really lacking in the availabe town clothing and actual variety. I’ve always enjoyed collecting armor, and it makes me sad that there are so few sets to really choose from that I can really say stand out from the others (more so with leather wearers even). Many MMO’s have armor that is ‘just because’, it adds variety and more fun when your getting gear that isn’t like the two others from your level tier. As for the town clothes, well, it would just be nifty to have access to more, heck! Even just throwing in the outfits we see the NPC’s in would be great! (I love all the Charr travel armor varieties that the NPCs wear)and I am sure that would make much of the RP community just as happy as well.

Well, that is my half-asleep post, thank you for such a great game and keep it up! ^^

Just bumping this thread a scosh because I am completely behind this suggestion! I would love to get my hands on some more town clothes! I remember that there were non-goofy (sorry but chef outfits, boxing gloves, beanies etc = goofy to me) town clothes in the gem store in the second round of open beta testing (I especially liked the scholar’s outfit if I remember correctly). Then when the game released…poof! Something that was easily (and probably beneficially) implemented went bye-bye and I have no idea why! I know that Arenanet has said that town clothes and appearance fixes will become available eventually, just saying I would personally like to see them sooner rather than later ;p

I love the concept of town clothes, I just wish for two things as far as they’re concerned:

1) More variety
2) Easy switching

It would be awesome to see additional town clothes introduced. Certainly what we see NPCs wearing, but also other varieties, even if they’re just “fashion collections” (summer-type, winter-type). Just some options to give us more choices as far as wearing town clothes is concerned. Right now the choices seem far too limited.

It is really easy to get out of town clothes—hit ~ or get hit by something. Getting into town clothes requires the steps of opening your character sheet and clicking over to the town clothes. While it’s not much effort, it’s enough to discourage people from switching to town clothes as often as they otherwise might. Adding a hotkey or at least making one available for binding would give players more of an opportunity to show off the creators’ hard work on town clothes.

In GW1, there were boxes you could tick in order to make switching into your town clothes automatic when you were in a town. I think that would also be a great option in GW2.

If there are going to be more town clothes I would also want a “Wardrobe” storage for it all in collectibles because this is something I would want to collect for fashion variety -_-;

There is an option to keybind your town clothes. I have it on num pad – and it’s a quick tap to put them on or off. They added it before Halloween, though it was a stealthy thing without fanfare.

So easy switching is covered! Now we just need the variety. Poor/common/rich clothes, summer/winter ones, hats people would wear in Tyria (I still want a froofy landsknecht hat with curling ostrich plumes, asked for it in Beta and haven’t given up yet). Pretty dresses, fancy dress coats, don’t let the Mesmers have all the lovely looks, hey?

They need to fix the following things:
a) If I have my town clothes on, they should stay on. I should not suddenly be wearing armor when I encounter damage or water.
b) Give us more town clothes and make them attractive!
c) Give us more attractive but not revealing armor.

Ahh, beautiful! I got involved in doing other things in October and so totally missed that update, but it was a constant bother through the first couple months of the game. Thanks, I knew I should have checked again before putting that into my post.
