Guild Wars 2

I bought my first outfit the other day and I read on the wiki that when in combat or underwater the outfit reverts back to my normal armor. However, I kept it enabled in wvw yesterday and it didn’t revert to my armor when I was in combat and I’m pretty sure I was other players with outfits on too. Do certain outfits not change back or is this some sort of setting/visual issue?

That may be a hold over from the original version of outfits, Town Clothes. Those were a toggle-able mix and match spare set of clothing that could include a toy but no weapons, and did toggle back to combat gear if you took damage or went underwater. Jumping down just a bit too far in a city swapped you back to armor.

The change to outfits included a much requested feature, the ability to keep them on in combat, while removing the mix and match aspect and completely removing a number of garments such as the hoodie (it is now a tonic, dull brown undyeable, combined with jodhpurs and riding boots, ick).

Outfits shouldn’t be affected by combat or underwater. Your outfit should stay active in both states. Also looking at the wiki, I don’t see anything referencing that.

Oh that was my mistake. I was thinking outfits were the same as town clothes. Thanks!
