without even addressing your definition of 'good', guild wars 2 doesn't exactly have this feature. you have town gear, but you can't equip weapons. you can enable or disable head and shoulder slot visuals. or you can use transmutation stones, which are finite consumables.Quote:

I'm for it! But I think there should be an on/off switch for people that don't want to see it. Similarly, to how you can toggle headgear.

IMO vanity is a great idea with all the designs in the game that go unused. Some of the lower level shields have great designs for example but you'll never see or use em.
The idea of wanting to see what someone is wearing at a glance isn't realistic anyway for the most part. If people's gear is important to you and you see a black mage roll up sporting a lightning brand, felt hat and whatever else then you're still going to end up checking his gear to see what he's got melded there which ultimately defeats that arguement.
Aesthetics is a fairly immersing part of games. Some people spend hours creating characters to look just how they want so why shouldn't that be extended to gear? Given the option I'd like to make the felt hat my black mage wears match my militia robe in color. or I'd like to make my sentinals sabatons match my militia cuirass.
I don't see how there'd be any harm at all in a vanity system to do that. Seems common sense to have vanity follow the same equipping restrictions as regular gear so you're warrior wouldn't be wearing bard af for example as thats just total extreme but if for example you wanted your paladin in full darklight to look like its in full af then that shouldn't be a problem. I know a lot of people who think a lot of the dark light is ugly -
10-04-2012, 07:55 PMSoukyuuWhat if I'd rather wear my vintage chainmail? Or any other lower level equip? Leather armor? Bone armor? Even with choices you named, more than 90% of gear in game is not being used.Quote:

vanity slot would also be nice to use class only gear on your jobs.
i would love to use a sarnga on my brd, i would love to use the vanya gear on my whm or blm. -
10-04-2012, 11:35 PMReikaTo add to this, heavy darklight armor looks stupid as @$#! to me, so when I obtain it to wear, I dont want to have to look stupid as @#$! in order to have good stats. I would like to continue "Looking the Part", as the quest is titled, because it looks better to me. I hate being forced to have a helm shown, in and out of combat.Quote:

Why would we need the devs to make a vanity gear system just so you can look like you're wearing scale mail during Garuda and White Raven battles??
Just wear what you want, people!
