Guild Wars 2

It’s probably a fair bit complicated for them to fit into the game as it’s already been running for awhile. I’m hoping that the wallet and the achievement skins are good signs though.

Couldn’t that just do an account version of the PvP locker? They already have most of the programming for that in the game, they’d just have to tweak it to make it accessible from the Hero Panel.

I’d love for this to be implemented soon, even if I had to pay for it.

Still wondering why threads like this get buried under hundreds of stupid ones.

Devs, are you discussing this?

Ofcourse they aren’t, transmutation crystals are probably one of the best selling items in the gemstore

Having a wardrobe or cosmetic slot system doesn’t necessarily have to remove the existence of transmutation stones. One very simple way to keep transmutation stones in play is to just make it so that turning an item into a skin in the first place cost you a trans stone. They can also make money directly by selling cosmetic outfit slots and/or space in a cosmetic wardrobe.

This thread already addressed the transmutation stone thing. Strider apparently came to the same conclusion quickly on his own. Anet can figure it out too.

I’m willing to bet Anet would make MORE money with this system…

2 hands up for this idea!
Just wanna add some my ideas on this.

At this moment lot’s of people doesn’t collect skins because it’s just a number of useless stuff in bank, as you can’t change them depending on your mood, on character that you play at this moment and it’s very complicated system to re-dress yourself.

Also there is a lot of different ways for Anet to earn money on this system. First of all, sell more transmutation stones, if system will use them. Also it can have some gold fee, and it will be additional way to reduce in-game inflation. Another thing is selling additional space for favorite skins, if it will be like additional limited bank space with special mechanic for transmutaion. And of cause people will buy more skin sets from gem store, cause they will be able to collect them.

So it looks like good thing for both sides and I hope Anet will make it one of the top priority innovations for game)

+1 .

I totally agree with this idea. Collecting skins is one of my favorite things to do in games, but I find it useless in guild wars because there is not enough space to have all skins and if I want my character to have a new look I will have to destroy the armor skin I’m currently wearing, that’s also the reason I don’t buy skins from the gem store (1 use only).
If an idea like this got implemented into the game Anet would make allot of money from the gem store with limited edition skins. I would surely buy them all and I know more people who would too.

I hadn’t seen this post when I created my thread here, https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/suggestions/Account-Skins-Wardrobe-Alternative/first#post2694817

Adding my sentiments here and while I suggested a few variants on the ideas proposed here, I honestly would be happy with any of the ideas listed in this thread.

Wow I +1’d this 9 months ago. I’m going to give you a bump, because I still want this to happen and I’m quite surprised/disappointed that it hasn’t…

Ok 6 pages is too long for me to read, but I agree with the wardrobe, pesonally I’d like to see a re-usable skin wardrobe in stead of the PvP wardrobe (which is just basically a bank of items). Once you get a nice item you “salvage it” for the skin and throw that into the wardrobe, and then when you want to transmute some item of your you use a “transmute stone” (so that ANet can get their cut) and bam your item is transmuted but the skin still remains in the wardrobe.

I need this. Having to transmute my skins to blues and send them to alts because I refuse to buy bank tabs for something they should have thought about. I use the free transmutation stones. I already bought too many skins from TP, I can’t be expected to pay each time I want to store or reuse them?

Apply the AChievement skins system to ALL skins> win. The current system is not cool, not cool at all.

Well, I have some good news for you, guys. It looks like ANet are aware of this issue, and are thinking about doing something very similar to what I suggested with this thread. In the recent interview Colin Johanson even mentions a wardrobe and how collecting skins should be supported. Here’s the link to the video with the timestamp on that question:

So cheer up, hopefully it won’t be long till we can close this thread.

Vote for this! Totally signed!

that would be… wonderful for my 2+ banktabs of hammer skins

Big +1 id like this to see!

Holy crap that is awesome!

Love the idea, I hope ArenaNet would like to consider it and implement it in a way they think would be best. Even if it’s only for one character I really don’t care, I’m using 2 banktabs for only one… _

Edit; omg I really hope it’s true they might do this!!!!!

This needs to be top priority. Seriously. Today is the first time I learned that one-time unlockable skins through the achievement panal can only be used once for an entire account. (wings of the sunless). Not only does that not make any sense to me, but it is disheartening. AT the very least, the achievements need to be separated by character so each character on the account can unlock them.

I’m so excited to see that the Devs have actually been discussing this idea!

This. I love this idea

I would happily pay for wardrobe slots, just as I did in LotRO.

Most RPers have several outfits for different climates etc, town clothes are utterly useless. Many spend a lot of time creating different looks out of many pieces of armour. It is irritating having to hunt through your inventory or the paperdoll page, to find the pieces you want.

To be able to assemble the outfits in a slot and swap at a click, would be wonderful. I miss this feature, that’s available in other games, as much as I miss player housing.

Arenanet, you would more than make up for the cost of dev time over and over again, via the gem store.

Bump, because this is exactly what I want as wardrobe system!

I’d pay to get it!

3 cheers for thread necro… but even if it wasn’t made to apply to dungeon armors etc, the event back pieces and a few of the ones that keep moving in and out of the gem store (Rox’s Quiver for me) would be perfect additions to the same place zenith weapons and those yet-unfinished sets of celestial/inferno armors (at least a decent set of boots with the blinder pads) would be perfect.

:) I think I posted months ago, but I’m still here and I still think is a top priority.

There’s no necromancy in suggestions as long as the suggestion is still valid.
IT’s always better to bring a suggestion back if it’s exactly the same as that you are suggesting and you have little more to add than making a new one.

In this case, the idea still applies.

I won’t buy costumes because they won’t get unlocked like GW1’s. They are items lying around.
There’s no way to retrieve the ol clothes, the starting proffesion skins or the miniature Rytlock if lost.

And my bank keeps getting filled with back items I won’t use because using the skin means also losing it unless I spend quite some gems in splitting the previous skin

I won’t mind paying for stuff, but I wan to pay only once for each thing. Only once for the game, only once for a costume only once to be able to apply a skin, only once for a particular hair style, only once for a dye, only one for a certain miniature, and so on.

Pay-once was one of the may things that brought me to GW1.

With a wardrobe done right, that problem would be gone. I’d be able to buy the costumes I want without also paying for the hassle of having to juggle items between characters.

Complete Support would be great to have in game.

+1 Would be an awesome idea

this needs to happen.

This thread was added a year ago? o_O

Regardless… this is something I’d fully support and something that needs to be implemented.

I need things to do in the game that are:

1) collecting
2) show progress
3) fun for me to do

A wardrobe is high on the priority list for me.
