Guild Wars 2

One thing that has had me thinking for a while, with the ever increasing presence of outfits in the game, is if there could be a uniform outfit for each of the three orders that make up the Pact.

It always bothered me that the uniform is not actually uniform. An outfit being able to be worn by all classes would be pretty neat for looking like a member of the Vigil, Priory or Whispers. Something I really like doing with my characters (Most notably the Vigil and Priory) but feel a bit locked into what professions these characters can be to be the most iconic so to speak.

I mentioned my thoughts to a guild member and they suggested it could be a missions reward from the personal story, received upon joining one of the three orders. It’s a neat idea, although I personally would not object to such a thing being either a gold or gem sink. Simply having the option to done a uniform to represent an order would be really cool, especially when levelling!

Perhaps this is something that could even be worked into the new living story for Heart of Thorns, or just released in the gemstore to tie into the story with the Pact being wrecked? Showing off your Pact pride in the face of such a crushing defeat would be amazing!

There’s already light, medium and heavy armour for each Order. Don’t think we need more than that.

Pact armour would be neat though. Three distinct armour sets for each weight class, not an outfit.

Personally I just want to be sure I know exactly which dyes are the order/Pact colors so I can dye that way.

Though i agree while levelling armors leave something to be desired (outside of cultural sets), i’d prefer not to see this happen.

This is my opinion, but i would like more armors and less outfits. Often i end up with most pieces from one set, but the ability of mixing and matching is simply awesome for diversity. I can’t stand when everything looks the same, and happens a lot with outfits.

Obviously having both choices would be the best of both worlds….. but maybe is asking a bit too much, i don’t know.
Now if transmutation charges came in bigger stacks…..

What I’m trying to point at is that the so called uniform isn’t actually uniform. It’s awkward.
I’d love if the armour sets looked the same, but perhaps in the case of a real uniform an outfit would be a necessary “evil”?

The outfits of the orders look so different between the armour classes that they might well be part of completely different organizations is all. But perhaps I am alone in this opinion.

There is a uniform, but for some reason the NPCs that represent each order tend to have their own unique little touches, or just straight up wear what they feel like.

That doesn’t make the full set less uniform. If you want to nothing’s stopping you from transmuting full sets, including appropriate weapons and dyes.

Outfits need to go away. The only thing you can change on an outfit is the dyes and disabling the Helm. If all we had were outfits, than everyone in the game would look exactly the same.

I think this is fine the way it is. Especially with the wardrobe changes, one can now mix and match the look of the different order armor sets, which I’ve done with a number of my characters.

Personally, I dislike outfits for the very reason that it’s an all-or-nothing clothing option … there’s no way to take an armor piece of one outfit and mix it with other armor that looks good with it.
