Guild Wars 2

I’ve been heavily affected by this change in a very negative manner.

First off, I bought different pieces of the gem store sets to mix and match together and even dye them in different combinations. I used the default town clothes along with the designer hoodies with an awesome dye mix that added a personal flavor to my character. Having the tonics give you the default look with the entire set just kills any idea of creativity and freedom in using them.

Second, I’m a roleplayer on Tarnished Coast and I use town clothes everywhere. I don’t want to look like a bomber pilot with dark muddy dyes while roleplaying in the cities or out in the world. I want my UNIQUE look in the world.

I’ve talked with friends who are equally disappointed with this change. I really don’t understand why it can’t be implemented in this feature patch with the new wardrobe system, which is excellent.

Please Anet, give us back our CREATIVITY! And if not, I want my gems back! Thanks.

I have to agree here, the mix and match was why people bought single pieces of certain sets which were dyeable. The town clothes to tonics change is just baffling when you’ve got the ability to dye clothes as well as pick your outfit under the new system. The confusion brought from this patch changes without a clear explaination of how this new system works in game will assuredly anger people who didn’t sit and read pages of patch notes in advance to prepare for these large scale changes.

Some people, like myself, just want to login and have fun; not get on the forums for the first time ever and explain to the developers pushing the patch that this was not fun or enjoyable for the people he convinced to come play, and that in the short term will make me hesitant to invite anyone else.
