Guild Wars 2

I hate the fact I can’t wear my Dragon T-Shirt alongside the Sports Sunglasses or my GW2 dragon hat… I mean come on, Anet! I can’t even use this tonic in combat as it removes my utility skills. This is stupid. These old town clothes should never have been made into tonics.

Please make clothing tonics into skins or outfits.

I agree.

GW1 had awesome tonics but were a totally different sort.
You could actually use them in combat too. Most of them at least. Not sure about some of the more obscure non-humanoid ones.

I have a Prince Rurick tonic that I like to use in combat. I would even equip the Ascalon flame sword to complete the look. It was a lot of fun.
Also, the tonic lasted an hour and you could always reapply it whenever you wanted however, when you zoned from one area to the next it would wear off.

Personally, in GW2, tonics should not really be replacing armor skins in any way. Especially since there is a built in wardrobe feature. If this keeps up, we’ll only be getting more of these tonics which will ultimately lead to them taking up more and more bag space.

Tonics are a quick and lazy way of producing more appearance options for your character. If the game isn’t doing so well, I would guess that ‘quick and lazy’ will become the trend.

Speaking of obscure non-human ones…. I’d love to be able to use the Monkey King tonic in combat on my staff daredevil. I don’t care if it’s got limited animations. It would still be awesome.
