Guild Wars 2

What I see with the outfit system is really only gem store exclusive use. It’s sad because this feature could be expanded to almost incredible lengths!

I was just glancing at Gw2 Style, a 3rd party website that hosts tons of skins and themes all player created. Then I was thinking of the outfit system! What if we could save a character’s look and apply many other looks with the use of total make over kits! Let the players create their own outfit which would save the armor, dyes, weapons, with the characters skin, face, hair, and eye colors!

It’d give tons of people creative control over their main characters without having to create an alt of the same profession with all the hassle of leveling it and gearing it!
You’d get your total makeover kit and it’d allow you to allocate the makeover to an open character outfit slot! Then you select your weapons, armor, face, hair, eyes, skin, body, and dye! Save with spending the total makeover and there you go! A the full complete outfit that you made and can swap to for that specific armor type!

If ANet works on storing & retrieving player creations, I hope they start with storing traits + skills first, then offer armor & weapon stats, then upgrades (runes, sigils, doubloons, etc).

Once they are done with that, then yeah, I’d like the same treatment for fashion.

A tad ambitious, but intriguing if you were to drop a few options (e.g. weapons and armour, as they’d require moving things in and out of inventory, and ensuring they’re in the inventory).

As I interpret it, you would buy a character-customization slot, accessible through the Hero panel. You would then get to modify the following options once, and toggle the full set on/off at your leisure:

• Character hair, face, etc.
• Character body height, tattoos, fur patterns, etc.
• Character gender (depending on if the game’s okay with it changing on the fly)
• Assigned outfit (not armour, as per first paragraph; probably let this be reassigned at any time, or not assigned at all)
• Outfit dye combination (also can be reassigned)

So after you’re done running around Tyria in your normal adventuring gear, you can enter DR, toggle on your purchased character overlay, and become a “new you” until adventuring calls again. (Or become the “new you” while slaughtering the latest moa infestation; I won’t judge.)

Honestly reminds me of how the town clothes worked, but with character customization on top of outfits which can handle skill animations.

I think it would be wonderful if Anet could add tabs to our Wardrobe where we could save a complete outfit. I’m not certain that it would be possible to include weapons or physical characteristics since they are not part of the Wardrobe system, but saving the clothing and dye combos would be a great start. Anet could give us one free tab and then sell additional tabs. I’d pay for them.
