Guild Wars 2

Hello Mo
First of all, thank you for your efforts as Game Director, i am very excited to enjoy the fruits of your labor in PoF, judging by the preview Beta weekend, it’s going to be a lot of fun!
Since it seems that Anet is going once more in the right direction (imho at least) i would like to remind you an old promise that was made back in the days before Gw2 launched. Arenanet promised that players would be able to wear what npcs wore , but during the years we have gone further and further away from that goal with designs for both armors and Outfits.
This is not another rant to get town clothing back, it’s an idea for Anet to make more money, so i hope you’ll give it a thought .
How about releasing all those beautiful skins that Anet’s artists have produced for all the Npcs in Tyria in bundles? You could call them “City life” and sell them in chunks at a discounted price seeing as they are not as complicated as outfits and you already have the assets done and ready.
I was walking around in Amnoon and i couldn’t help but marvel at the simple beauty of npcs clothing, like i did for many years in the rest of the game, it would be a shame to deprive players from decking out their characters in such fantastic garments, don’t you think?
Just give it a thought when you can, i know a lot of people have wanted Lexi Price’s dress for years (for example) or the swimsuit shorts that people wear in Southsun Cove and so on and so forth. It would be free money and make a lot of people happy
Good luck with your future work, and thank you for what promises to be a great expansion!

Well, at least it’s a positive open letter, with a decent idea. I always dread these ‘open letters’.

i would pay 800 gems for https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Endless_Casual_Hoodie_Clothing_Tonic anet is sitting on a gem goldmine and they refuse to add it, really wonder why

Oh god no, i didn’t mean to introduce them as tonics…tonics are horrible. You can’t dye them and they vanish in combat…underwater…expire after 15 minutes..no. I meant as Outfits.

I’ve been asking for this for a looong time.

There is an achievement in PoF that requires collection of Elonian outfits. Maybe all those pretty Elonian dresses we see in Amnoon will be available in that collection. Also, you get those by playing the story of PoF which is another huge plus.

My thoughts exactly:

And just the other day, I was roaming Lake Doric when I saw a female NPC in one of the fighting rings to the southeast wearing a similar outfit (with pants) like the NPC in my link above.

I want those skins become available for my characters!

A few examples of the stuff i’d like to start with Post your own if you will, outfits you’d like to see available !

I would love to have this as an outfit or armor set.

I’m like 99% sure most of these outfits you see on NPCs isn’t proper outfits or armour pieces ready to be shipped into gem store. It’s probably just ‘fused’ on the model – meaning NPC model was created with that kind of clothing, instead of clothing being added to it like we add armour on our characters.
I might be wrong, but I think this would be easier and faster way to make NPCs rather than preparing every single of those armour pieces to fit on already made models.
And this way they can more easily outsource 3D modelling NPC models, and don’t have to bother with teaching people how to properly prepare armour pieces to be actually worn on different naked models.
But then again, I might just as well be wrong… In which case, Anet get a grip! It’s a cash mine!

Please, not tonics or outfits! Armor, please, simple pieces. Please.
