Guild Wars 2

I’m very confused by the current set-up of outfits in the game.

In the old system, each town clothing item was treated as a separate entity with separate dyes. You could combine pieces from multiple outfits this way and carefully tailor the dye design.

In the current system, outfits, such as Mad King Thorn and Fancy Winter Clothes, work as bundles with only 4 dimensions of dye alteration.

The recent patch brought in combat capability to these clothes, which I am very happy about, but it also removed clothing functionality I once enjoyed. More importantly, it removed functionality that I had purchased the clothes for in the first place. I feel my purchases have been slighted.

I understand that new outfit capabilities are very likely in the works. On that note, can I expect to wear pieces from multiple outfits, with independent dye capability, ever again?

At this time no. It was the trade off for the wardrobe – they simply could not work round it (there’s a lengthy dev post on these forums somwehere about it).

As for the future? There is every chance they might find some workaround on it, but it is unlikely if they couldn’t do it since it was started 9 months ago, that it would be something coming in the near future

Do you have a link to that Dev Post?
