Guild Wars 2

This is mainly to incentivize wearing town clothes. Many suggestions want to force people to wear town clothing when entering town, but this suggestion make players want to wear town clothing themselves.

These town clothes runes will not work at WvW and will not affect combat.

Superior Rune of <Insert craft>

• Increases crafting speed,
• Chance to return a common material back
• More exp for crafting.

Minor Rune of tourism

• Increases speed by 20%. When swapping out of town clothes, the rune goes in a 240 second cooldown.

Minor Rune of the Miner

• 10% chance to mine an extra ore.

Minor Rune of the Logger

• 10% chance to cut down an extra log.

Minor Rune of the Harvester

• 10% chance to harvest an extra herb.

Minor Rune of Community Helping

• 100% chance to gain an extra quest trophy(For hearts and Dynamic events).

Minor Rune of the Feast

• Summoned feast will give an extra hour of duration.

Minor Rune of the Wrench

• Summoned Nourishments(Maintenance station) will give an extra hour of duration.

Minor Rune of the Durmand Priory

• Grant buffs to nearby allies that increases their magic find. (Remember, the player in town clothes cannot attack anyone.)

Superior Rune of Merchanting

• Prices decrease by 10%
• Selling items to merchant increases price by 10%.
• When swapping to town clothes, summon a stall.

Minor Rune of Dog

• When swapping to town clothes, summon a dog that will follow you.

Minor Rune of the Boss

• When swapping to town clothes, summon a bodyguard that will fight for you.

Minor Rune of Camping

• When swapping to town clothes, drop a camp site which has a campfire, and a tent,

Custom Brawl Runes

• Any runes that is used for costume brawl.

Why should ANet add this?

• $$$
• Town clothes can only be bought in the gem shop. Players will use the gem shop to look cool.
• Town clothes will not be a wasteful feature. It can be used for useful buffs, gaining an edge in costume brawl, or for roleplaying.
• Incentive for ANet to make more and more town clothes.

Your cash cow wasn’t bad in the first place, you just bred it wrong.

This…. is actually a good idea! Now all ANet would have to do is add more town clothes to the gem store, clothes that actually look halfway decent. (Always hated the default Charr clothes)

Wait for the blog posts on Tuesday. They will give answers to new town cloths, craftable town cloths and normal gear as town cloths. I except some other nice perks too.

kinds OP, but i think the idea of a rune that increases the walking speed in town would be nice, or any thing like this, for use of mobility in-town, so no one would abuse this to move faster out side of town, remember you can swap to town clothes outside as well..

They had some fun town clothes, and then they got rid of them.

I suspect they will use the new system to some how eliminate the old town clothes, especially the fun ones, without explaining why our old town clothes can’t be used in the new system.

Sure, I will ask them why it was changed, but I will never get an answer, as I’ve never gotten an answer on two other things they’ve changed with seemingly no game play related issues.

I hope I’m wrong.

Collaborative.

I don’t think any of these are OP for the PvE world. What matters most over in PvE is DPS.

Wow… That’s… interesting! Seriously, this is a good “excuse” to wear the town clothing, brilliant!

This is a step to getting to that point.

If town clothes rune, somehow does not work to achieve expected results. Then ANet don’t have to waste time to make town clothes.

It is there to encourage town clothes outside of cities.

They meant for town clothes to mean something at the start of this game.

But they don’t mean a kitten thing.

In fact, it would be more sensible to have characters to automatically switch to town clothes, but that’s not the case….

Before the demo version was introduced, there were a lot of people wanting town clothes. That is why they add them.

I don’t like the idea that town clothes should be forced, but I like to have incentives to using them.
