Guild Wars 2

this is SO annoying, especially considering that costumes are now being used in costume brawl, where fear and knockback is common, and it’s mostly done in lion’s arch, a city surrounded by water and build on top off cliffs.

if you consider that actually being attacked by a mob doesn’t remove your costume, why should falling damage remove it? what is the reasoning behind it?

Please fix this! I have to run around naked when I play Faceplantsu because I don’t want to break my armor and I get tired of constantly having to turn town clothes back on.

I can see why they did this for tonics since they would have to add swimming animations for all the forms you get from them, but it feels like you’re wasting tonics when you’re feared/knocked back into the water all the time so something should be done about it IMO. The fact that it breaks you out of town clothes and puts you in armor is just annoying. Just make us unable to use the costume brawl skills underwater instead, but let us keep the town clothes on.

^ the problem with fear and knockback is another entirely, and can actually be very deadly on PvE (being knocked out of a tall place and dying, namely). they should give players the same invisible barriers they give NPCs when feared or knocked back (or rolling).
