I love Guild Wars 2’s wardrobe system. One of the best features they added to further let the players customize their appearance to look as great as possible.
Meanwhile I have a love/hate relationship with the Outfits:
Love: Well designed Outfits for the most part, can be worn at anytime on all types of characters regardless of Profession without using Transmutation Charges. Its also a constant look that can’t be changed despite changing your actual gear.
Hate: Outfits are full sets that can’t be divided into different pieces. Basically it limits the creative possibilities when wanting to mix and match the piece to make a completely different look. I do wish that the Outfits can be split into the pieces we would want to add to our collection eventually.
Now thinking about the Outfits, I realized that their is a possibility of a feature that could make customizing your characters much more simpler.
The idea is “Custom Outfits”. Basically it would be a system that allows you to choose the different types of skins you wish to put together within the wardrobe, then spend 6 Transmutation Charges to create that “Custom Outfit” that most of your characters could wear.
Of course certain limits could be applied( even though I wouldn’t recommend it) for creating the Custom Outfit. Example being that if you were to make a Heavy Armor Outfit, only Heavy Armor classes could wear it.
Why I think its a good idea is that it allows players to save their unique combination of gear to something that can be accessed at anytime, like the regular Outfits. Its also more convenient since you don’t have to spend a charge every time you get a new armor piece while you are leveling that will ruin your current look.
What do you guys think? Let me know through your replies. If you have something to add, go on ahead.
