Guild Wars 2

There are probably a few suggestions for apparel, but i figured I’d add my own. From all the MMO’s I’ve played I enjoyed Aion’s armor Remodel setup. It follows the same concept that transmuting follows. You can’t change the appearance of armor outside of your armor architype. Aion, however, had a vendor that sold pieces of ‘clothing’ or ‘apparel’ that everyone could use to remodel with.

The remodel vendor sold seasonal, roleplaying, and casual apparel that could replace the look of any armor type. Personally I was happy to see there was a clothing option on Guild Wars 2, but unhappy it wasn’t a permanent thing. Clothing on GW2 cannot be used in combat. I get that it can be used for RP and for wandering around the world, but it doesn’t seem like it’s being utilized. One thing that i’ve seen in MMOs is that many like not to only play the part, but also look the part. I for one find it easier for me to play a character that i like.

I think that this would work on many levels. This game is very balanced. Everyone has the ability to recieve or attain anything another player can (skills/weapons/armor appearances, being so few). I think this would allow people to show differences in a way that wouldn’t unbalance the game, but also show uniqueness in characters. This may be something that just hasn’t been implimented yet (this game being just past launch.) But in a game so well balanced, persoanlly I would like to see more apparel changes so players can find a way to individualize themselves from the crowd.

I really like how the HoM equipment auto transmutes a skin over the armor your using ATM. I would love tailor options like this to allow for some unique mixes in clothing and armor using this technique over time… Allowing someone to buy a style to be used and available (if necessary from the HoM itself or a tailor in towns) then just apply that style over whatever armor you are wearing to customize it to your taste.

I am assuming eventually these kinds of things are planned already for Gem store costume purchases, but if not thats the idea that would work well for this game I think… Either in game or in Gemstore.

ONE question however… Why did the HoM heritage armors stop allowing preview from the vendor? that was extremely useful in choosing what we wanted to pick for our character…

Yeah, that’s what I’d like to see. GW2 does have it’s own great way of remodeling EQ. I would, however, like to see more options for remodeling. Skin vendors would be nice to have and to allow clothing or other apparel to be used as a skin. I thought the same thing too, that maybe it will be implimented a little later. Can’t hurt to suggest it though.

Idk why they would take away previews on purpose. They still need to add previews to the trading post.

I support all efforts to increase the ability to customize character appearance according to the player’s preferences. +1
