Hello everyone,

I’m sorry if this has been brought up before, but I will do it again!
As you might know, outfits are actually made out of two pieces instead of one piece.
You can toggle off the headpiece, which means the headpiece and the rest of the outfit are actually two pieces.

What I really would love to see is to make these headpieces available for regular armor.
That way we can mix & match em with our other armor. It would add alot of new options. I think it isn’t outside of the realm of possibilities from a technical standpoint, but I am no expert. It seems quite simple.

You could add the headpiece to your wardrobe when you purchase the outfit.
Or sell them seperately.
I haven’t asked every single Gw2 player what they think about this, but I don’t see any reason to be against it. Except maybe some clipping issues, but thats nothing scary.
We can perfectly decide ourselves wether we like that or not.

Please make it happen!

Hmm..what about the dye channels? Would the headpiece be dyed using its own dye channels, or the outfit’s dye channels? Can said dye channels be mixed and matched?

Maybe that’s why one cannot display a different headpiece with an outfit…no idea.

Like I always say: Hats must come back .

Think of every combination we are losing. Too many to number. Way too many.

I stopped buying outfits altogether. Every new one I get is just more combinations that I will be never be able to make.

Hats must come back, and ‘standalone’ head skins like grenth’s hood, glasses, royal masks and fuzzy hats should be added to the hat category in the wardrobe, allowing us to make all 4 possible combinations:

  • Hat + outfit
  • Helmet + armor
  • Hat + armor
  • Helmet + outfit.

Just like we could in the original Guild Wars. And it was awesome. Made getting every single outfit and hat worth it.

I would think that if the helm was separate then it would have its own separate dye square. It can still be one piece but part of it have a section that’s toggleable for visibility. Sort of like different sections on one outfit can be dyed separately even though it’s all one piece.

Be careful what you ask for
ANet may give it to you.

But, those different sections/channels of the Outfit dye panel affect the headpiece. When you place dyes in the Outfit dye panel, the armor dye channels grey out. You can only use one or the other. This may be why there isn’t any mixing-and-matching of armor and outfits. /shrug
