Guild Wars 2

The preview on the gem store just shows my character without the outfit, just the glasses. Before I buy, just want to make sure.

The glasses are a armor skin. The wedding attire is an outfit. At this time you can’t mix and match any part of outfits and armor, so no. The wedding attire can’t be used with glasses. It will be either the wedding attire helm or no helm at all.

You can’t wear them together.

The glasses are an armour skin, and the wedding outfit is an outfit, the two can’t be combined.

(I just decided my character is short-sighted. When she’s out in the field she needs the glasses to see what’s coming to kill her, but isn’t going to be wearing a dress. When she’s in town crafting she changes out of her armour but also doesn’t need the glasses.)

Yeah, we can’t wear them together. It’s one of the reasons why I never buy outfits.

Just make it a private wedding where everyone is naked except for glasses then, problem solved.

No, you can’t because love is blind.

Nope, anet hates character customization so they abandoned cool things like armor skins and legendary weapons and decided to give us outfits where you can’t swap out armor pieces so we all look exactly the same.

And this is why I will never buy outfits. I like my custom headwear FAR too much to give it up for whatever 1-piece-fits-all outfit they came up with.

HoT offered a couple of new weapon skins.
Outfits are meant to be simple to design, simple to apply; they aren’t meant to replace armor skins.

Since the announcement that Anet will release outfits in gemstore and armor in game we’ve received (including the ones we basically bought with HoT) Carapace, luminescent (which is just carapace), bladed, ley-stone, pre-pre cursor, mistward, and guild armor. That is 7 sets of armor in what? 3 years? 2.5 years? On the other hand I got tired counting but we’re looking at outfits somewhere in the 30s.

They have a clear interest in the gemstore, and clearly hate making armor sets. Which would be fine if GW2 wasn’t based on horizontal progression. Unfortunately it is based on horizontal progression and outfits are the opposite of that as they force you to look exactly like everybody else.

Last armor set added to the gem shop was Incarnate/Strider/Rampart armor April 15, 2014 so almost 2 1/2 years now. Now between game launch and that date there, 20 months, we had only 6 armor “sets” added to the gem shop. And by set I mean 3 weights even if, like the April 15th 2014 release, they were named differently.

Carapace/Luminescent was introduced during second half of LWS2 when Silverwastes was added through November 2014. Guild, leystone, bladed and pre legendary precursor in HoT. Mistward isn’t a full set. And that was end of October 2015.

Now miscellaneous armor pieces were added to the store. Mainly head, glove and shoulder pieces but they were weight neutral and obviously not a full set.
