Guild Wars 2

I am not sure why you decided to take away item transmutation on already equipped armor? What was the reason behind this decision? I love the armor I am currently wearing? And Transmute it quite often when upgrading to keep the overall look I like?

Doesn’t this kinda take away the whole point of transmuting armor? The only reason I can see, is to force a gold sink. Or please tell me why if not for that reason?

I’m pretty sure it just means you can’t transmute the armor while you’re wearing it. You’ll need to unequip it, transmute, and then re-equip.

Other than what I stated above, Great Work on fixing a large amount of issues in this recent build. Great Work!

You have to take it off, transmute it, and put it back on, AFAIK.

From what was said in another topic, it seems to have been done to stop a bug feature that allowed female characters to appear nude.

I hope your right, I always took off my armor and inventoried it prior to transmuting. I never bothered trying to transmute while equipped, figured that didn’t work anyway.

It just means you need to unequip armour for a moment while you transmute it, I think it was causing some messed up/unintentional looks before if you did it while you had the item equipped.

I just went ingame to test it.. tbh I couldn’t see any difference from how it worked before, I equipped a pistol.. and transmuted it with one in my bag, worked fine even though I had it equipped.

Soooo.. I dunno :P

I transmuted my armour today from the H menu, seems a bit of a unnecessary hassle to make it so that i must now unequip it each time.

Still, if it’s to fix a glitch then fair enough, so long as i can keep transmuting my primeval armour i’ll be okay.

It most certainly is linked to the nude feature bug. It’s a simple solution to the other fix that was added in the patch preventing players from wearing transmogrified racial gear not belonging to their race. Rather than overhauling the transmutation system, simply making the player take the item off is a much quicker solution.

Yeah, but a silly solution.

Leveling with a stack of HoM skins just got to be more of a hassle.
