In another Video Game, there is an option to pay $20.00 to makeover your character any time in those 30 days and retain the look I chose during and after those 30 days as well. I loved this back when I enjoyed that other game and feel many will enjoy this feature in GW2, as I am totally ok with investing in the game to change my look, and it has so far taken me a lot of trys and do-overs to get the look I really want due to the difference between the Makeover App’s preview option and in-game appearance.
I would love to see this added in GW2 gem store!!! Will create freedom to express myself many times over and feel good about my investment in the game.
:)
Edit: A Permanent Total Makeover Contract would be awesome too! So that I can change the total makeover settings whenever is wanted!
Another edit: some have mentioned “But there’s a makeover preview NPC.” My argument to that is that the preview option doesn’t show what the character looks like exactly as it would in the game. There are many who do find this an issue.
Why would you want a downgrade of the current system with a permanent makeover kit? Time limited things is kitten.
I do not follow. I do not see an option in the game to be able to change my characters appearance whenever I want permanently? I can explain better perhaps or did I misunderstand somewhere?
I recognize I can already permanently change my characters appearance. What I’m inviting is the option to change it any time I want within the 30 days for a set price, as opposed to paying every time I change the look, or for every 5 makeover kits I buy. D

I believe Dawdler is referring to Permanent contracts. But, currently, there isn’t a Permanent Total Makeover Contract; there is a Permanent Self-Style Hair Kit, though.

“Permanent total makeover contract” would, if it existed, allow for the ability to change the total character appearance, whenever I want. Yes? I’m not yet super familiar with the gem store but this is helping me to word what I want correctly and with a choice of words others can understand easily.
Yes, if a Permanent Total Makeover Contract existed, it would let you change your appearance anytime you want (unlimited uses). That’s how the other Permanent Contracts (hair style, trading post, black lion merchant) work; unlimited uses at any time. But yeah, it (permanent makeover contract) doesn’t exist (yet).

1. There is no permanent total makeover kit.
2. Those permanent kits are more rare and expensive than legendaries..
This would be anything but a downgrade.
Permanent is permanent. What is the total makeover kit? Oh that’s right – permanent. It’s consumed in the process, true. It’s still permanent, unless you buy another and change it again. You can preview all the changes in the editor.
We also already got the preview NPC and you could create a new character and delete if it you want.
Changing a character a million times in a month is not the RPG way. While we can change outfits at will, Anet even activly restrict us changing the character too much. We still dont have race change.

You do have interesting opinions! Thank you It sounds like you are in disagreement with this suggestion. Curious what others have to say as well!

Disagreement? Perhaps, yes. But more failing to see the point. I dont care if such an item is added, but I do care about introducing expensive time limited items in any game because that opens a whole can of worms that I’d rather see remain closed. What’s next? 30 day outfit contracts? 30 day weapons? Perhaps 30 days legendary skins, that’s be neat. Only $20!
As much as I love this to be implemented in the game I highly doubt it’ll ever happen, since this will in turn devalue the Total Makeover Kit which is coincidentally included in some of their upgrade packages.

So, your perspective is that I’m inviting a gem store item that allows me to have an appearance that lasts 30 days only, and then changes back?
To clarify, this is not what I mean. It does not change back after 30 days. I mean unless it’s trial makeover which is a totally different idea but also possible.

So in effect … your offering to give say $20 for the ability to change your character at will for a month … only to have it revert back to normal at the end of the 30 days? Or would you retain the last updated version of your character?
Cause one is you giving away $20 for … free…. versus you giving $20 for the ‘outcome’ (end of 30 day) of an existing total makeover kit.

I like the idea. A total makeover kit costs ~$5, so I think it’s a fair price to ask for the option to change your mind as often as you like for a month and retain the look you like at the end. The item would likely need to be soulbound on use, and also have some sort of visible timer to warn you of the approaching time limit (just in case you were goofing around with a green afro that you didn’t plan to use long term).
There is sort of some president with this idea in terms of the 2 week banker Golems. A limited time service item would not be a totally new thing in principle.
One addition I would like to make to your idea, is to give everyone that ability for free during Halloween, except that you revert back to your original appearance once the holiday event ends. If there’s any event that would be enhanced by hordes of freakishly goofy/ugly/strange characters, Halloween is it I can already see the guild of Ronald McDonalds going through their guild missions.
My only problem with the idea of a 30-day contract is that I would be likely to forget that I need to finalize my choice before the 30 days is up. I think a permanent contract would be best.

A simple solution to that is to force a pop-up window at the end of your contract for you to confirm your final appearance. Make it so that it cannot be ignored or closed without committing to the change.

or a 30-day count down somewhere in the total makeover app. If i’m not mistaken, that’s what the other game did. It said somewhere in the makeover app “You have __ days left on this pass.” Different words of course. Again I’m trying to remember but don’t know for sure.
As a lady my big thing is to look great! There are all kinds of events that one would want to change their clothes for :
1. WvW uniforms!
2. Partys
3. Guild events.
4. PVP parties
5. private gatherings in town clothes etc.
one should after buying or crafting special armour/clothes be able to equip them when ever they choose with out a cost.
GW pay attention to those who spend the money. There are tons of ladies who do not want to walk around in the same old clothes all the time. Right now if I want a change I can only change the color. Sigh.

He meant for the ability to change your character at any time to last 30 days. Not the actual changes you make, that would be insane…

I did in deed mean that (about the ability lasting 30 days) and I’m a female btw! Idk what that fact serves. But I am! Lol. And that actually is a pretty funny thing to imagine now after reading your message on that topic haha.
