First, I want to say that nearly all that I’ve read about the April Feature Pack has gotten me really excited, and I can’t wait to see most of these brilliant changes implemented…

… However, there’s just one thing that’s caused a pit in my stomach. The changes to Town Clothes.

While I understand a lot of players would definitely use the town clothes more often if they became available as skins/tonics for combat, the changes, from what I’ve been reading, are going to hit people like me hard. I’m a roleplayer, and I have a few characters who use the town clothes extensively, one of which has several outfits I’ve put together for her for different occasions. With the upcoming changes, I’m almost positive most of these outfits won’t be possible anymore, for a number of reasons:

1)Individual pieces, like the hoodies, becoming “tonics” – I can’t see us being able to recolor these if they work like tonics, but rather they’ll have fixed color schemes.

2)The “tonic” versions only useable one at a time – This says to me that I can only be using, for example, the hoodie over my combat gear, and not use the riding pants or boots at the same time. This means I can never use these together again, destroying mix-and-matched outfits.

3)Outfits, such as the Halloween and Wintersday outfits, being “all or nothing” – I use the Bloody Prince’s face paint on my warrior with the rest of her town clothes, which comprise of regular boots, riding pants and a leather hoodie. With this update, it’ll be impossible for me to use the facepaint with those outfit pieces.

I implore you, Anet, to find another way with Town Clothes, so we still have the freedom with them that we do now, as well as the freedom of using them in combat. The current changes will come as a heavy blow to people like me, however many of us there are.

Here’s a few pictures of the characters with which I use the current Town Clothes regularly, to give you an idea of what will soon become impossible.

I agree and since their philosophy behind these QoL improvements is to remove restrictions, I think they might reconsider this at some point.

Agreed. I want to be able to make more outfits, not less. I

I am totally in the same boat as you. So disappointed in their change to town clothes. I don’t see why they can’t keep the current system and just allowing it in combat while removing the “toy” weapons and making them consumable like they are already going to do. I really want a dev’s answer as to why they can’t do this.

I am pretty sure by the time they read this (if they ever do), the wardrobe system is more or less completed and ready for release on April so this is not going to change.

However, I do hope that at least this is taken into consideration and perhaps work towards future releases.

I completely agree with the OP, even though I don’t have a lot of characters with decent town clothing I’d be pretty sad not being able to wear my pretty Witch’kitten together with gear of my choice anymore. (Edit: Witch’kitten … Hat of a Witch, why does it get changed automatically?!)
In my opinion, the whole “All or Nothing”-concept for town clothing is the complete opposite to the intended individuality and diversity. Besides, tonics in order to wear a single piece of armor (regadless whether or not it also adds complimentary parts to make it fit)? This is the same inventory cluttering problem as before.

I’m really glad to see your guys’ support so far, thanks!

I don’t really expect them to make changes in the 19 days before they release the feature pack, but as hedition said, hopefully they’ll take it into consideration and patch it at a later date.

This will certainly be merged again. They are reading the feedback, i and i believe most of us will keep the pressure on this to reach the devs hearts and make them reconsider, making clothes all as armor pieces, even if it needs to be affected visually to be transformed into pieces (as some sets like Mad King and Pirate and Cooker)
