I’ve had this idea since I started playing and wanted it to share it with the community (and hopefully with the developers).
So I know I’m not the only player who really likes to modify the appearance of their character in Guild Wars 2. There are popular sites and subreddits made to show the look of your character. People love the options, so many armor and weapon skins to choose from. But here’s the problem; you can only pretty much do one outfit for your character (not talking about the outfits sold in the store) unless you wanna spend tons of transmutation charges when you wanna change your look. And who wants to grind 2-3 or more armor sets to not spend charges?
I’ve been thinking for a way this could be changed and I think I have a really solid suggestion. There should be wardrobe slots in the game. Players would enter wardrobe like they do now but instead of seeing the equipment you have on, you would see a selection of numbered tabs (Wardrobe 1, Wardrobe 2 etc.) Clicking a tab, for example Wardrobe 1, would show you the equipment you have on that current wardrobe slot. This is when the transmutation charges are consumed; you use a charge to change the appearance of the equipment in Wardrobe 1, in the similar fashion you do now. You could also use the store bought outfits in this slots.
This would be a great addition on Anet’s part also, since they could sell these wardrobe slots in the Gem Store (like they do character slots). And since there would be generally more transmutation charges consumed I think the sales of those would rocket aswell. I know for sure that me and majority of the players I play with would definitely buy at least a few of these slots.
I really want to make a lot of different looks for my main character but with the current system I end up collecting skins and customizing my alts that I barely play. Think of all the possibilities this would add to the game, for example a guild or group outfit.
Let me know what you guys think of this idea and give out suggestions. I do now know if this has been posted before but even if it has at least it is up for discussion again.
