How about some cosmetics?

[jwolnik]

Oi we all love fashionhammer. Every player loves the drip

Is there any chance that Devs would adress this topic?

I love to grind events for capes and hats but i feel that’s not enough and the potencial is so high.

Just imagine that you don’t need to balance anything coz it’s just a look

Was this topic even ON back in a day?

Imo, The game needs a ton on cosmetics )
Let me quick-draft some variants here:

1. Let mSH at least locally disable the 'meat ball' appearance and stay gobbo

2. Mara axes are mostly lollipops by design. Looks non-deadly. Slayer of the Dead and one-i-forgot-name-low-lvl are only Ok.

3. Let mara to disable mutates

4. Let Chosen to disable aura

5. Fix Chosen shields positions (they in-shoulder now)

6. Make Dok and WP shields large

7. KotBs and Chosen Tower (big) variants of shields

8. Emperors (invisible) appearance for every slot. Like Emperors shoulders and bracelets was introduced not long ago

9. Short swords

10. Baldness as a hair style for everyone

11. More masks

12. Glowing paint

13. Blue tatoos for Choppas

14. More scars and tatoos for body and face appearance

15. Dark and High elves armor now looks like doll dresses. Need variants with not-so-dress appearance. Some torned variants may be?

16. make the Black Orc off-sov shoulders dyeable

There has actually been a lot of cosmetics added to the game.over the last 2 years or so, but most of them have been capes/helms with only 2 new armor set appearances. Both of these sets have been added in the last year or so, so they do seem to be consistently adding things.

ToVL release is coming so that will gove us another set and I'm sure some new cloaks. Hopefully a mount or 2 too.

We should probably add more lore-unfriendly items, similar to the rewards from the saga event. Bonus if they also make it hard to distinguish between archetypes. Is that a choppa wielding 2 dwarf heads? Or a black orc?

[nocturnalguest]

Oh cmon, thats not an argument. Too hard to configure UI huh?
And lore of what? Whole AoR is none lore friendly strictly speaking

DoK and WP shields do not need to be bigger! Makes for a more unique appearance. Roll a BG or Knight otherwise. Maras mutations are part of the class. Why disable chosen aura? The devs have made a lot happen over the years in the cosmetic department. What you are suggesting seems like a waste of time.

If they could make the Black Orc off-sov shoulders dyeable, that'd be enough for me!

I'd love for there to be more cosmetics. However, I think that cosmetics that do not fit the class should be limited duration. Masks, Santa and pirate hats, the ring and head, etc. should have 60 day duration. One of the great things about this game is that each class has a distinct look. They have a certain aesthetic, something that is missing in almost every other game because of shared armor and cash shops. Take one look at WoW, FFXIV, or GW2 and you can immediately see the immersion breaking nonsense that goes on there. It's fun for a limited time, but permanent shield Chosen dual wielding heads while wearing a Santa hat? Bleh.

The thing is everyone can choose for themselves.

There are a lot of players going hard for get the exact look for their characters. I know it for sure, because I had a tons of chat talking about such nuances.

Small shield or Big shield, On mutation or off. The player is to descide how it is better for him.

All others except the one can see this or disable using setup checkbox.

+PS One can see how much players do care about cosmetics by googling intinity length topics using "<gw2/wow/etc..> outfit" query
