I would love to see a wardrobe system available in this game. Similar to how City of Heroes and DC Universe Online allow you to unlock a certain skin once its been acquired.
How I see it working:
Once you find a piece of gear, you keep the gear, but also unlock that particular skin in a wardrobe (type of library), that you can then enter and start re-skining anything you’re currently wearing with whatever you have unlocked. (Similar to the dyes library).
You could select from anything you’ve previously unlocked in order to come up with some very interesting new looks in a preview window. Then once you’re happy, you’re taken to a confirmation screen where it will add up all the transmutation stones required for re-skinning. So that way Arenanet can still charge us transmute stones.
I think this is especially handy for people who have spent many MANY hours grinding dungeons for a particular armor set. You can unlock the dungeon skin and reuse it at a later date if you want to take a break from that look for a while. I don’t want to have to run the dungeon 30 more times if I want to get that look back one day.
In summary:
- All acquired gear skins are saved in a ‘wardrobe’ type library
- Re-skin anything you’re currently wearing with whatever skins you’ve unlocked in your library (similar to the dyes)
- Preview an entire new look
- Proceed with purchase, where you will be charged the amount of transmutation stones required (with a link to buy more if you’re missing them)
Would love, love, LOVE to see something like this implemented some day!
