Guild Wars 2

Ok, this may just be a very personal need. With the new Crystal Nomad outfit added on the gemstore, I really want to buy it, but those enourmous floating crystals around just don’t fit (my personal taste). I like the nomad theme on it, fits perfect to explore deserts or maybe the upcoming jungle. But those crystals…

Same thing for the Shadow Assassin Outfit. I bought it, but it fits only on my asura as the shoulderpads are tooo big.

But is this even possible? It doesn’t seem to be complicated as we already have the possibility to hide the helmet on those outfits. Perhaps there are other technical issues with this?

I know this is not really an issue, more a matter of taste. And it really should have low priority. But if it’s not too complicated, they could put it in some future small update

I agree completely and I’m glad I’m not alone on this! I absolutely love the entire rest of the outfit, but to me all the floating crystals just feel kind of gaudy and I’d really like the option to turn them off with the shoulders option.

It shouldn’t be too hard to implement since they are floating completely detached off the rest of the outfit, yeah?

It’s possible with some outfits to hide the shoulders by hiding your armor shoulders before putting it on, but I guess you can’t know if that works on any particular outfit without trying it first.

There is a way to try it on without purchasing it (if you already have a different outfit).

If you equip an outfit and THEN click any of the not-purchased outfits in your wardrobe, it will preview that outfit with the same customization you currently have on your equipped outfit (same dyes, head/shoulders/gloves toggled).

That being said, there’s currently no option to hide the crystals on the outfit – the headpiece is the only thing you can toggle.
