Guild Wars 2

I posted this in another thread, then thought maybe a bigger suggestion thread would be appropriate. If there is already another thread, then I apologize.

In this topic, we can suggest viable ways that Anet could improve costumes, in the interim time it would take to make them all individual pieces (I know that is the end goal for most players).

I think there are some simple steps they could take towards fixing the Outfits to appeal to more people.

Here are my Suggestions:

1) Make the outfits Shoulder/Head gear free and allow people to use all their own Shoulder and Head skins with the costume.

2) Go ahead and make the shoes, gloves, shoulder, and head pieces from the existing costumes, into stand alone armor skins.

Option 1 gives players something nice while waiting for the costumed to be converted into armor skins. Some of those costumes have the best shoes/gloves in the whole game, that would look great with other armors (IMO)

Option 2 coverts the bulk of all the costumes into stand alone skins, buying more time to work on converting the chest and leg pieces.

I think that they can only make head free for all outfits. The rest is too hard for some stuff. They can make gloves free for something like mad king outfit but not for some other ones. someone made a good post about it in another one of these threads…

personally id like to see the dye panel expanded on sometimes i find these outfits are ruined by the fact you cant change the color of 1 section without altering 2 other sections of the outfit that don’t work with what your going for ruining any freedom of color options
perhaps this could be addressed a little by breaking up the sets like they used to be so we had 3-4 separate skins to dye instead of lumping them all in one set with 1 dye panel for the entire outfit

They need to be able to create costumes that don’t either make my character bald or completely cover their head.

Hats must come back!

I don’t need shoulders.

Just the head would be enough for me.

Not being able to combine masks, hats and glasses and other heads from outfits and skins is a waste.

The worse offenders are top hat + noble outfit and demon horns + rainment of the lich.

Just imagine how cool that would look. And it’ll be technically possible. There won’t be any clipping at all.

It should work like in GW1:

• Armor slots.
• Hat slot.
• Outfit slot.
  Then instead a checkbox on the corner of helm, shoulders, globes, outfit and hat, a little button you click to dropdown a list of checkboxes, to pick where you want the thing to show:
  • X: Open World.
  • X: Cities
  • X:PVP
  • X: WvW
  • X:Other intances.
