Would you be inclined to purchase more Outfits if you were able to wear a custom helmet on top?

[hugo.4705]

My bad , badly understood the question. So.. the helmet we have outside of outfit with the rest of the outfit? Plainly stupid. If I want something is an helmet from an outfit as a normal helmet armor skin. So basically what is said above about having more customization. So my vote is NO in fact.

 

Many outfit have a part I hate: Shoulders, Chest, Gloves or Helmet... so I prefer having them in parts like aetherblade or magitech ones.

What I can tell, if outfits were armor part skins I would be more inclined to buy them. But currently many are a no.

yep, but 2400vs700 is different from 800vs700, that's the correction that i am pointing out, wrt to your original post

But if _I_ were to buy only one version with six parts, rather than all three versions (assuming it's the same design on all three armour weights), it's 800 gems.

For people who would wear it on all different weights, it'd be more.

But _I_ only consider buying such things for only one character.

I'm just glad there is an option to NOT wear the helmet.

Most times I go sans headgear.

[Edge.8724]

I really just prefer armor pieces that outfits. Gives more style options.

[waxx.3619]

I usually never see anyone rocking outfits. Most people like collecting skins and mix and match their own armor set. IMO Anet would profit a lot of more if they stopped focusing on outfits and release armor pieces. So many of these outfits are soo cool but they are all or nothing. I bet many i mean many would love to have pieces of those outfits and create their own custom set. Let players display their creativity. Don't sell them premade stuff.

Should there be an extra tickbox on the outfit panel to equip your current armor headpiece?

 

Answer:ABSOLUTELY

[Kruhljak.2705]

My biggest gripe so far is that I can't wear a monocle with my Noble Count outfit, which I bought with that in mind, totally forgetting it couldn't be done. My fault, I own it, but it still annoys me and I see no legitimate reason why it must be this way. Headgear's generally detached from the rest, anyway, and we have clipping issues with all sorts of mix-n-match (and even properly matched) sets, so that isn't a valid reason, IMO. I guess it was a logistical/technical choice, since it makes no sense to restrict when there's no benefit to that restriction, but even so it would probably have been better to allow this from the very beginning. They had to know it would be preferable.

[Ototo.3214]

I guess technically yes, it would make me more inclined to get an outfit to use.

 

But I'd still prefer to get like....actual armor skins over outfits.
