Guild Wars 2

So I saw the mad scientist outfit today and it blew me away; it’s perfect for the look I am going for on my engineer. Well, all but the ridiculous headpiece… which kinda looks like something from “The Fly”.

I’ve grown very fond of how my engineer looks with his current headwear and as a result no outfits can ever really be an option for me at the moment. Regardless of how much I may or may not like them, they are literally worthless to me as an in-game item since the best I could do is just make the head piece invisible, which doesn’t at all suit my needs.

So, that said, I was curious if anyone might have heard something in an Anet post or in some AMA that might allude to custom headwear possibly being in the works to be skinnable with outfits, or if outfits are to remain as they are in their current 1 piece blob form.

Thanks!

The last known official response was no, but that was just after the outfit system changed.

It is an oft requested thing, but no one knows if it is something in the works or whether it is something they can even implement. All you can do, since it is a reasonable enough request is to post feedback on the forums, as you have done and hope for a change.

Personally I think they will keep things separate and leave as it is to avoid further calls for mix and matching, but that is speculation on my part only.

Understandable. I would hope they could make an exception with the headpiece, since is often treated as it’s own distinct entity more often than other pieces when people are making gear. It’s rare to see someone use the intended set headpiece as opposed to something different, or nothing at all.

Thanks for the answer!
