Guild Wars 2

If you buy a set of armor (6 pieces) from the gem store and open the box and, say, only immediately want to use the boots, you have to store the other 5 pieces somewhere until you use them, or delete them and lose the free use.

Why not just open the box, don’t create the 6 pieces at all (they are already in the wardrobe at that point), and give us 6 transmutation charges?

If they are already in the wardrobe, then just delete them and move on.

Well, it does sound like a good idea tho.

To give transmutation charges instead, enough to apply the gem store skin, along with skin set unlock.

Tho, it’s possible that it can be confusing to some players.

Not terribly confusing, if they shift the paradigm and wording a bit.

“d-clicking this box set of armor unlocks all 6 skins contained within and gives 6 free trans charges to be used on these or ‘any’ skins”

Economically, no one would be buying skin sets, even on sale at like 600, just for 6 transmutation charges. You’d be better off buying 25 at the regular price. It would just be a nice gesture to provide the one time use, the side effect of not having to use the one time use with those particular skins (or all of them) if you choose, and consider what it does to people’s banks, in the event that they bought some of the sets because they only wanted a few pieces out of the set, and don’t want to lose the free charge ‘in the event’ they decide they want to use the skin later.

You could make it like this:

- You get the initial package. Use it, you get the skin unlocker + a stack of transmutation charges.
- Using the skin unlocker would automatically unlock the skin (like with outfits) and also pre-set the skins in the wardrobe, like when using the individual pieces. That’ll show with a “6” charge cost. It’ll basically pick all 6 pieces for you as if you went to the wardrobe and manually chose them.
