Just a small thing. I enjoy that the BLTC updates (like the one today ) are written semi-in universe.

Would it be possible to add little parentheticals under the images (or alt-text) to show what else is being shown/worn? I quite like a number of the looks ANet whips up for these little promo shots but there’s little way for me to efficiently figure out what’s what.

Just something like
(Outfit seen here dyed dye color and other dye color; Sold separately.)
or
(Model displaying the Bunny Hood is also wearing X, Y, and Z; each sold separately.)

Just for fun.

I think this is a really good idea. It wouldn’t need to be a big thing, just a footnote somewhere.

But as an alternative if there’s ever a picture with skins you really like but don’t recognise people on the forum are generally good at ID’ing them.

Or you can use the Wiki galleries. Select the relevant race, sex and armor weight from the side box and you’ll see them all. If it’s not there also check outfits.

In this case the woman wearing the bunny ears is also wearing the Aristocrats (T2 cultural) top, the Cabalist (loot) skirt and I think Country (loot) or Student (crafted) boots.

I’m not sure about the dyes, other than the white is probably either White or Celestial.

Yes, I’ve always hoped that they would add to the “semi-in-universe” descriptions.

The white could also be Glint’s Isolation, which is a really lovely light cream on almost all materials, though the screenshot lighting makes it hard to tell. The red is probably Enameled something, judging by the saturation.

I’m pretty sure the ears have two dye fields (haven’t checked mine since HoT beta), so she’s got a pink variation for the lining and doubtless a white tone to match her dress for the shell.
