This is the post some of you are thinking of.
Ah, alright! That sheds some light on why it hasn’t been done so far. Thank you.
I’m really hoping they do something about it- I’m certainly not the only one who’d like to have the option to use skins outside their armor class.
PVP armor/lockers are staying the same, and being able to wear town clothes into combat for WvW completely negates using armor at a glance in WvW mobs to identify people (and let’s not forget there are many more player classes than there are classes of armor), so the only technical reason I really see is this texture sorting thing.
re: reasons outside of actual technical difficulties to not have mixing: “Not all of it would look good together” applies to armor within its OWN class, as well, as well as clipping issues. I have clipping issues with different medium sets all the time. The smart solution is to preview that kitten and just not use that armor combination if it would have big clipping problems… But some light armor could pass as medium armor, and vice versa. I have a friend with a mesmer who’s found a combination of light sets that even looks like heavy armor. On an asura.
Oh, like a bunch of armor don’t have clipping problems anyway, right? 90% of medium pants clip with my medium top already.
I know it’s been asked before, but has it been asked an answered since they announced wardrobes? Maybe they’ve changed their minds. I’m kind of asking in hopes the devs answer, not you, no offense
Maybe that stuff would be disabled in PvP? Maybe toggle-able like how you can turn team/server colors on and off? (you can turn that off, right? I’m not just remembering wrong?)
Do people really use armor to tell that kind of stuff anyway, as opposed to watching what weapon the player has or what abilities they’re using?… There’s such a wide variety of armor I don’t know how you’d tell the difference at a glance like that, except maybe heavy vs. NOT heavy, heavy armor is much more distinct than medium and light
Considering the ratio of town clothes shirts:town clothes pants was something like 10:1, I don’t know how they’re going to make it “all or nothing”…? Maybe you can mix and match the “tonics” (like a shirt tonic and a pants tonic)
I have a specific question I’ve seen asked a couple times but not answered, so… I figure making a thread would be the best way for the question to be seen
Will the account wardrobe allow us to mix weight classes as far as skins go? I’m NOT asking for classes to be able to EQUIP a different weight class, just use the skin of a different weight class on their current stats-armor.
If not, WHY NOT?
Aetherblades are still around too, in the jumping puzzle, TA, and EotM.
TA is a whole other can of worms. I’m assuming they planned on leaving the new path alone because they knew the story was going to end eventually.
Still, that’s different from them just being out in the world the way they are. The Toxic Alliance has even less of a reason to still be around than the Aetherblades— Krait are extremely xenophobic, and the one thing Scarlet had for them that they wanted was the “obelisk”, which has been gone for months.
Seriously. I am so tired of seeing these things. They’re still in Kessex, Queensdale, Gendarren Fields…! People stopped doing them or caring about them before that patch was even over. They’re a blight and the fact ANet hasn’t bothered to remove them now that Scarlet’s forces are no more is really, really annoying to me.
I’m not asking for Kessex to be back to normal at all. I’m glad they left part of the map damaged by the whole thing— but these events should really be gone by now.Since we’re going after Modremoth next, it makes sense to keep them around. The Toxic Alliance is the Arnold Schwarzenegger of the Nightmare Court, and the Plant Dragon has some sort of connection to the court. I hope we see more of them in the LS updates!
I really hope Anet decides to name the main leader of the bunch and show us the drama within this group.
Fair point. I wouldn’t mind them coming back, I suppose. Maybe the toxic-krait would hail Modremoth as their new god? The main problem I see with this group even staying together is that Scarlet baited the krait with the “obelisk” that was the Tower of Nightmare… which is, of course, gone. So I’m wondering what’s keeping them there.
It just feels like an oversight to leave the events as-is for so long, though. It’s like they just forgot about ’em.
It does bother me more than it should I guess, I RP and my character was heavily invested in Kessex Hills and its recovery after the Tower of Nightmare was felled. It’s frustrating that the Toxic Alliance are still around spreading that stuff months after the fact, and Scarlet is gone.
Imagine if they left the Molten Alliance events lying around the Shiverpeaks and Ascalon. It’s the same thing.
The Risen have been around since launch and are part of the main story campaign, so that’s different.. The Toxic Alliance was part of the living story, for which they have a consistent record of removing events and instances for once the story had moved on. They’ve taken out just about every trace of the Aetherblades and Molten Alliance from the landscape and relegated them to Fractals…

Also notice the amount of lesbian couples compared to male gay couples. I can mention none of the later, cause probably there are none in the main story too. However, everyone knows Kas-Jory and Caithe-Faolain. I can also recall two sylvari girls from the ‘green knight’ personal story.
Nope, those sylvari were male. They’re often cited as the game’s one canon gay male couple.
Considering there’s not that many couples in the game to begin with, though…
I can’t believe people are actually upset about this though. Angry that most of the prominent characters in this game are female? Pick up literally any other game in your home or the local GameStop. Problem solved. It’s pretty gross, really.

This is literally the worst. I’ve read the interviews, about how the Living Story got off to a rocky start with working out the balance between storytelling, character development and the rolling out of the updates themselves, but COME ON. WHY did they bank on Scarlet SO MUCH? I’m thinking they must have not gotten any outside feedback before starting to inject her into all of their future updates for the next year. That was a very bad decision.
I am just so done with this update right now. (I’ve been done with the Living Story since she first appeared.)
