Guild Wars 2

NOTE: My English isn’t good so It may be less explained and confusing.

I guess ANet wants not to test big number of cases for armor combination. But not less people want to mix-match outfit with regular armor. so I suggest this, It’s Overwearing. the system is already there though I don’t know how people call it already. Overwearing is armor part having two more model slots(Like Head + Shoulder, Chest + Leg + Foot)

Visible example at the picture. If you wearing “Dry Bones Hood”, it disables any kind of Shoulder because head armor has Shoulder Art. I made Alerting Blue Icon to make more visible. but Dry Bones Hood is only the thing to explain this.

I believe ANet has no time and resources to seperate outfits. So the point is, I’d like to suggest putting outfits all into Regular Armor Wardrobe with some modification I said. So, possible combination will be below.

There are some examples.

1. If you wear Wintersday Outfit, Its main is chest which overwears shoulder/hand/leg/foot(Full-set), not head.
   So you can wear other head item like monocle.
2. If you wear Balthazar’s Regalia, its main is chest which overwears Full-set(except for head).
   you can wear other head items like any helm you like.
3. If you wear Braham’s Wolf Outfit, the main is chest which overwears shoulder/leg/foot.
   You can wear other head / hand armors with that outfit.
4. If you wear Cook’s outfit, the main is chest which overwears leg/foot.
   You can wear other head/shoulder/hand.
5. Seperated Items(like Windersday outfit Hat, Balthazars Helm) can be equiped with regular items.

What can happen wear both Head overwearing shoulder + Chest overwearing shoulder? You just can’t equip this or transmute into it. That’s it. You can’t have double-overwearing model if they have same slot.(This will happen to Leg overwearing Foot + Chest overwearing Leg/Foot)

It’s just an idea. I know there must be more build up, but I’m not sure how to do more.

They made decisions back before release that now are incredibly difficult to get around.
Your suggestion is not new, same has been on forums every month at least.
