Guild Wars 2

Please, before you comment, this is PURELY COSMETIC.

Now I think it would be really cool if having a specific armor set (and possible back piece) would add some new cosmetic aura/effect. For example, if you had full SE armor, and the jetpack, when you jump, the jet pack has like a flame pulse come out of it. Or if you have full Luminescence armor, Mawdrey, and lets say a Mordrem Weapon from the BL Chest Ticket, the weapon would glow blue, and Mawdrey would produce a purple-pink aura while in combat. Possible combos could be cool, but I honestly think they should add these because it would add so much more fun in finding some cool and flashy effects.

As long as there is an option to turn it off.

Only problem is this would make mix n match less worth doing. (while simply making outfits more viable). I vote for more accessory items that add an effect. Like poly-refractors/Queen bee but let them be purely cosmetic (no stats) and able to put as infusions in ascended gear. Making us wear exotic and not our ascended doesn’t make sense as endgame (this is fashion wars 2 after all).

Why does there need to be a bonus? There doesn’t need to be.

All it would do is effect people choices and limit peoples individuality.

Outfits already limit individuality as all you can change is the colour. Bonuses are a good way to get a 100+ people running around in the same armour. So no there shouldn’t be bonuses for wearing a set of armour.
