Guild Wars 2

The wizard hat is the best hat ever, only it makes one horribly bald which isn’t a problem if you are an Asura…but any other profession it looks a bit funky and loses it’s flair, we’ve already been given the option to dye the Wizard hat? Any possible chance at making it so hair shows under it?

I’m not sure how many people this actually bothers, but I figured it couldn’t hurt to try and get some response.

I’m also not sure how much of a process editing the model itself would be so that is is achievable for every race in the game as i’m not a game designer or art nor’ will I pretend to be.

It’s the big reason I don’t wear that hat or the celebration cap. But I guess it would be a problem to put a hair style on it that fits 5 different races and both sexes.

I did get the Soul River Glider as part of the bundle. I used it for a while thought it was cool, until I noticed the animation. Little dudes running…. when I first got it, thought it was different, thought it looked like waves. But then I looked at really close, I have not been able to use it since, the figures running now distract me. Prefer the classic looking glider, so switched my characters to that one.

Lol, didnt notice them, but i see them as a feature, not something bad Kinda feels like i can use it on my necro now (human souls trying to run through the river of styx into never-coming redemption… guess that was the theme of that glider)

Yeah, they started offering the gliders and outfits as seperate items after the backlash from the first couple, but never went back and did it for them.

I’d honestly really like the arbiter glider, but hell if I’m paying 2000 gems for that.

I’m glad they realised bundles are not popular and they’re better off offering the items separately and then a bundle with the random extras for people who want all of them.

I do wish they’d go back and offer the early bundles as separate pieces too, like you I’d buy the soul river glider on it’s own (even with little people running) but not as a bundle. It’s the only thing in there I want and it’s not worth the money.

It’s a trivial task to smoosh in the vertices to make any current hair look like there is a hat on top of it.

The primary issue is probably focused on the fact that Anet likely doesn’t have a system coded in that can reference what hair you have normally and then load in the proper “smooshed hair” to match it when you wear a helmet/hat.

All they have is a toggle that tells the game to hide or show the hair based on whether the headgear would need it. Hence, we have circlets that show hair but the launch day baseball cap gives us a chrome dome.

Yeah. They probably don’t want to go through each hairstyle in the game and “smoosh its vertices.” Too much trouble and not enough gain (gems) for them.

Just say to yourself when wearing it. Bald is Beautiful.

Hats worked properly with hair early on- in beta? Unless I’m remembering wrong- which is entirely possible. (I hope someone who knows can say- I have a memory of a norn character with a hat and hair and then trying the same thing later and being annoyed that it did not work.)

edit: i’ve been told that this was helmets not clothes. i don’t know if either is right. though if they knew how to do it with helmets at one point (I’ve never enabled most headgear in game for its head item/hair deletion issues) it stands to reason it should be do-able with hats, no?

The easiest way would be to add a layer of hair around the players head inside the hat that has the same colour as the players hair. No need to design around all hair styles, just make it look like some hair is under the hat. As opposed to spontaneous baldness. Really puts me off the hat, too.

They added hair with the dwayna outfit, not your hair but it was ay least something.

Why not with hats like this, especially cash shop ones.

Not sure that adding a layer of hair would help. How about Sylvari with their leaf hair. Or chars that have chosen the bald option instead of hair or Charrs with their hair going down their necks.

Wait, there’s more races than human? :O

I guess. But even so, one layer or hair/leaves and remove the neckhair on Charr (because they get no love anyway) when wearing the hat. I’d still prefer that to the baldness. Though retroactive changes to skins aren’t something to hope for, anyway, which is fine since some people may like it the way it is.

They added that “cloth” section to the helm part of the Dwayna’s outfit. I thought that was a good compromise. It looked rather like hair and was dye able.

Now this can also work as in game rewards too. I am a person that likes to mix and match armor styles in games. I never use an armor set just parts of them. I am sure I am not alone in this. In Guildwars I was the same way always a mix and match set unless the entire set looked great and very few did to me.

Here is my idea, and They did it in Guildwars Eye of the North with the Dwarven style armor set. Make pieces of armor instead of full sets. This way you can get a nice piece of armor for like 400 gems that will work with any other set. Also since it takes way longer to create a full set it will take less time to create piece only and be an option for outfit style designs. In fact outfits could also be designed by the piece into armor pieces.

They have done already- think Shadow of the Dragon, Scarlet’s Armor, Toxic Armor etc.

They primarily do shoulders, gloves and headpiece (occassionally boots). This is to limit the chance of clipping betwen armour parts (chest and legs are most prone to clipping with other parts). It also helps maintain the aesthetic differences between light, medium and heavy armours.

I want hair with the ascended heavy helmet since my Charr is lion themed and I want him to look like he’s wearing a crown with a lion mane.

Could we have a permanent effect of hearts? Like when you throw the Jar of Harpy Pheromones, hearts start floating up from your character and pop in the air.
Make it a shoulder like Nightfury or Winter’s Presence.

A suggestion. Rework tonics into outfits so people can completely transform into different things, but still be able to play and do combat with no timer. The timer and no combat use really stops tonic use.

That is, the Watchknight tonic into an outfit. The Monkey King as an outfit. Make a Tengu outfit. A Quaggan outfit. A Toy Soldier outfit. A Princess Doll outfit. A Kodan outfit.

Picture: 2 chars using the Watchknight tonic. Turn that look into an outfit instead of a tonic that’s only good for 5 minutes out of 30.

Please for the last day bring back Aviator Sun glasses!!!!

Theres only 1 day left in March . The Aviator Sunglasses pls

Aww just for one day :( I want them too! I was also around when the wizard hat was free but didn’t pick up the bunny ears since you couldn’t wear them in combat back then so I bought them this time around.

I’m really grateful for just the llama finisher even though I also bought the chain whip sword and bunny ears from this sale too. If no Aviators and boxing gloves it’s no big, but if yes it’s a big in a good way.

Me too man me too!

Don’t hold your breath. If it is released, it’d be a welcome surprise.

May I have a Toy that allows me to throw SAB Cheese everywhere?
Needs to work in WvW and SAB lobby as well.

If you’re not going to have April Fools in the game, maybe make and sell April Fools boxes like the aviator and bobble head boxes. This way there can be April fool yet be individual, not game wide. Maybe have a free, one day only box on April 1st and sell them at regular prices after that,

There are many great head pieces for sale in the Gem Store…..from glowing eyes to wizard’s hats….. What I’d gladly pay gems for is the ability to combine these head pieces with other outfits. Example, combining glowing eyes with the witch outfit? Awesome. Allowing a Necromancer to keep his/her special class mask while wearing the Count outfit….also awesome. The outfits are great…..the head pieces are great….let us combine them please I have gems waiting to be spent this way!

Can we please get the pointy stick from Super Adventure Box as a scepter skin? It fits my main character so well.

Could you guys put the hexed outfit back on the store at some point? It must have been on there when I took a break at some point. Would love to have it for my thief or ele. Get some lightning sigils for a little raiden role play!

I would like and would pay for the following:

Key Ring: An account bound tab (like the wallet) that holds all my “keys” (IE: Bandit Keys, Calk Acid, Crowbars, Etc). I’d be willing to pay around 800 – 1000 Gems for this.

Blue Print Bank: A series of 5 Account Bound Inventory Slots that only Hold WvW Blue Prints. I’d pay around 500 Gems for this, but I think I could be suckered into paying up to 800.

Personally I want a amazon warrior outfit a super sexy one with lots of animal fur and antler headpiece and maybe some weapons made of animal bones and fur to match. And add another dance book that lets you have all the dances from the original guild wars especially the dervish and paragon dances the collectors edition dances to those 2 would be amazing. Also maybe gem store body tattoos and jewelry that you can actually see on the character. OH we definitely need a headpiece made of flowers too.

Id like a GPS receiver and a telescope.
GPS receiver to give me x,y,z coords of where I am , and allow me to know how far it is to somewhere else, including another player who also has a GPS.
Telescope so I can see further than the maximum LOD.

I got this from another poster elsewhere, but since this is the time of the SAB festival, how about an 8-bit musical instrument? I believe it can be some sort of keyboard that plays all the 8-bit beeps and boops!

STIHL.2489:

Key ring is a great idea. And Dwarven Keys should be account bound, not soulbound.

With a lot of Superhero movies coming out around now. Would be cool to get a few mock super hero costumes in the outfit gem store.

Some with capes even.

I know what line you’re setting up for, but no.

NCSoft had a perfectly good superhero game going, and they killed it. They decided that superheroes were not going to be a big enough thing to make it worth a CoH 2, and CoH was going to fade away. So, shortly after GW2 came out (VERY shorty), they killed CoH. One Friday morning just fired them all, and sent word that the servers would shut down in three months.

For ANet to make superhero costumes would be in the ultimate of bad taste, and would also come off as telling NCSoft that ANet feels they made a stupid mistake. Which… you know… they did, but you don’t tell that to the people above you in a company.

Wouldn’t fit into the game. If you don’t dislike hack’n’slay .. try Marvel Heroes,
i’m really happy there since nearly 4 months now ^^

And yes … i rather buy one-piece outfits there than here .. here i want armor sets
that i can mix and match.

How about just capes?

Make our own “superheroes”.

There’s already a spiderman costume so why not?

Capes were great in Guildwars 1..

I don’t really need Marvel in my Guildwars 2 though.

Just no.

I don’t at all see how it would be “bad taste”, superheroes are kind of a big deal right now.

Though we did just get Gwen’s clothes, so there’s your lore-appropriate super hero :P

It’s really easy to make the Ironclad look like Iron Man (I did it completely by accident when I changed outfits, even), and it’d be kinda fun to have something more straight up superhero, but… you’d want to keep it somewhat GW2 styled, so it’d just end up looking like another outfit.

Bandit outfit + bright colors looks rather super hero, too.

I’m not a fan of super hero stuff but to each his own. I don’t feel that any modern super hero costumes woul fit in the world of Guildwars2 but I did see some that have gotten real creative and made a combination of armor that resembles Spiderman.

Simple answer -NO!!!

This is gw2 right? at what point does it lose the dignity with the lore bc we have 349w34 batmans running around.
I mean we already have wings -_-

In addition to wings, we have Charr backpacks, Quaggan backpacks, weapons that shoot unicorns (which have never appeared in the lore), rainbows, etc. GW2 abandoned dignity at about the time that twerking became a thing.

So has the English language, apparently. It was sobering to learn that “twerking” was in the Firefox lexicon (i.e., no spell check underline.) …

That said, I’d not be interested in superhero themed outfits.

I didn’t think I would ever post in this topic as I think the direction the gemstore has taken is the biggest flaw of the game, but I also believe that suggestion could improve our experience.

Transmutation Charges are possibly the only gemstore item we can easily get by simply playing the game, and therefore I doubt many players buy some with gems. They’re really common, yet not enough to allow you to change your armor appearance at will (as in: “I’m feeling like wearing a marauder coat this week, next week I’ll be likely to wear cultural armor, etc”).

We have come to this paradox: you don’t have to buy them with gems for one-time changes (get your lvl 80 armor and give it the appearance you want once), but they would also be too expensive for something as trivial as changing his armor at will. I don’t have the numbers, Anet does, but I would bet Transmutation Charges are one of the items they sell the least.

Here is my idea: let us exchange 5 Transmutation Charges for a Coat-Hanger (*). Once consumed, it would turn our currently equipped armor into an Outfit (with weight restrictions). Everybody would be happy: you would start selling more charges, and we would be allowed to change our armor as we feel.

(*) 5 charges doesn’t seem a lot, but keep in mind we also have to transmute the armor first, so that would actually be 5+6=11 charges per set.
