Guild Wars 2

Hello everyone! I noticed the Endless Common Clothing Tonic in the Trading Post again recently. I think it’s quite lovely! It’s like a cultural outfit, with different looks for different races. Unfortunately, it can’t be dyed, so you can only use a black and red colour scheme!

The good thing is, since it was once considered Town Clothing, it already comes supplied with dye channels for colouring it. If this item was instead changed into an outfit, it would solve a lot of issues I think! It could even be put onto the Gem Store for sale, or unlocked through some other means. As an introduction to the outfits on the Gem Store, perhaps?

What do you think?

Really, making the default common clothes into a freebie outfit and giving it to all players (maybe as a personal story reward?) makes a lot of sense. The plain one is dirt cheap so it’s not like there’s any kind of exclusivity to it anyways, and like you sorta mentioned, it’ll get players, particularly new players, used to how the outfits system works and possibly make them more comfortable with the idea of purchasing more outfits, so I think there would be some incentive for Anet to go through the trouble of making an outfit version.

(Yeah, armor pieces and mix-and-match capabilities would be nice, but that is much more complicated and kind of another issue entirely, so I’m not going to bother touching on that since it’s been discussed to death already)

That said, I actually like having the clothing tonic, although for my own stupid reasons. I keep one on my mesmer so that when I’m in the mood to be silly, I can run around in “normal” clothes and then pull a magical girl thing and poof into my crazy combat outfit before charging into battle. Toggling the outfit from the wardrobe to do the same thing wouldn’t quite be the same since the tonic gives you a poof of smoke/confetti when transforming. So, if they DO add the outfits, I kinda hope they keep the tonics available anyways.

If they do this, I hope that the sylvari female outfit is changed so that it doesn’t look like it came from Victoria’s Secret.
