Nope, this thread is just here to make people think they have some measure of control over what comes back to the store when. If we did, I wouldn't still be waiting going on 5 months now. I don't even feel like playing anymore since I can't look the way I want, I've just been doing dailies and logging off 3 minutes later.

[Batman.7041]

Can we please get a new weapon that resembles a double bladed lightsaber like the one Darth Maul uses? Can it be a staff so daredevil and revenent can go full ham sandwich with it?! But most of all, can we please have a way to dye the color like the spinal blades backpack does?! Tysm! :D

[Raknar.4735]

Still waiting for foefire wraps.

[Gecko.5963]

I just started playing GW2 again after a few years and saw that there was a gecko skin for the springer mount that was released just over a month ago. Does anyone know if these mount skins will be available for purchase again?

[Warlord.9082]

Please bring back Permanent Noble Folly Pass. It's been forever since it was available.

They regularly bring back the skins so I would assume it will come back. It is not always announced though, so I suggest checking the promotion's tab of Black Lion Trading Company interface every few days or so. They also at certain times have free promotions in there so personally I look daily.

Aye, grabbed it first day it returned. Rocking my cosplay since :smile:

 

Now I'd like to see the phalanx set return for another cosplay I'm trying to do. :lol:

[Socialmutant.4978]

Could we get the "Abaddon's Mask" back please. i have been waiting for while to be able to buy it.

[Medvedovka.8523]

Mask of silent please! Thank you

[NeoHirotatsu.9057]

Phalanx Armor skin please! It seems I missed it last year because of afk, hopefully you can bring it back again.

[Caro.2730]

I had a dream tonight about wearing this in game. Please Anet, make it happen or whoever is reading this, please, let them know we need this in game already. <3


 

[Danikat.8537]

This is probably the most commonly requested NPC clothing. It's also the one I went looking for (and was surprised and disappointed I couldn't buy) when I first decided to get some new town clothes, back before the wardrobe and outfits were introduced.

 

My guess is the big problem is this would only fit human and sylvari females, and maybe norn females. Whereas outfits need to fit all races and genders.

 

My answer to that would be to find popularly requested clothing from other NPCs (maybe run a poll to pick some?) and make a new outfit like the Wedding costume and Common Clothing outfit which can be worn by anyone but changes appearance based on the character wearing it. Maybe something that can fit between the common clothing and wedding outfits as a sort of 'smart but not formal dress' outfit.

There are sort of already two cultural outfits: the [Cook's Outfit](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Cook%27s_Outfit "Cook's Outfit") and the [Wedding Attire Outfit](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Wedding_Attire_Outfit "Wedding Attire Outfit") have different designs for each race. Perhaps they could do something similar with this and other cultural NPC clothing?

The [Common Clothing outfit](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Common_Clothing_Outfit "Common Clothing outfit") is the same. (The one which used to be the default town clothes, then was changed into a tonic and now you can take the tonic to a Black Lion NPC to get it turned into an outfit.) In each of the 3 formats all characters use the same item but the clothing you get changes based on the character using it. So the tech to do this has been in the game since the beginning. I assume it's the same thing which enables armour to be interchangable between characters, even when they're different shapes and sizes and sometimes the design is different for males and females. It's just the differences are normally a lot more subtle, whereas these 3 outfits have a completely different appearance for each race/gender combination.

 

But that's only one part of the process of making this dress into an outfit. The fact that it would only fit human and sylvari females (and if we look at it as cultural clothing it wouldn't suit sylvari) isn't a problem. But finding 9 other costumes for the other race/gender combinations to use when they use this outfit might be - there are other costumes NPCs wear which aren't currently available to players, but it would still take some planning to choose them and then the work to create the outfit.

 

What might be a bigger problem is that I'm pretty sure Anet have said there is some clothing NPCs wear which won't be made available to players, because they want NPCs to have their own look. I think that was specifically about Queen Jennah's dress and some of the Elonian clothing, I don't remember it being applied specifically to this dress, but that might explain why all the previous requests to have it available as an outfit have been ignored.

[Stand The Wall.6987]

I feel the same way about jackal rune and foefire armor skins.

OMG NEED NAO PLISS ARRRGGHHHH

Somehow I forgot about that one, even though I use it frequently on several characters precisely because it looks different on each of them!

Yes, it's not obvious what the asura/charr/norn/sylvari equivalents of this outfit would be, since NPC clothes don't pair up like that. I'm not even sure if there's an obvious male human equivalent...

[Caro.2730]

It appears it's not as hard for them to make it into outfit for all races, as they did that with the Exmplar Attire, which if I recall correctly was solely a human armor before launch, unavailable to players after launch. They even allowed female charr and asura to wear the female version of it which is basically a very feminine corset, so I see no boundries here!

[Davion Roth.6709]

FFS bring back the Golden Wings! Why do you hate me Anet?

 

P. S. LOL why is "eff eff ess" censored, they're just letters.

[Bast.7253]

I got lucky with a few of the things I posted in here like the Mistlock Sanctuary and the Exalted gloves. (And just noticed the horns too! Ty!) But I'm going to repost a few and add some. A little upset that I've tried for the shoulders with keys twice now and didn't get them though. Makes it hard to complete a set but there's always statuette saving I guess.

 

Now that we can preview novelties in the gemstore, is this opening up the possibility of combat tonics making it into the gemstore?

 

If so:

Combat Tonics:

1. Largos

2. Margonite

3. Joko

4. Awakened Canid

5. Mursaat

6. Jotun

7. Krait

8. Forgotten

9. Dwarf

10. Djinn

11. Anomaly

12. Monkey King combat version

 

Outfits/Armor:

1. Melandru outfit

2. Kormir outfit

3. Abaddon outfit/armor set - feels like this is what the hellfire gear was originally designed to be.

4. Double winged backpack and glider set - https://www.engadget.com/2013/09/18/smite-unveils-thanatos-hand-of-death/ Like this guy has in his model for example (or the existing Zerphyrite glider given a matching backpack at least.)

5. Utopia concept art being made into armor/outfits - Chronomancer & Azetec themes

6. Some of the awakened models have really elegant Egyptian looking armor that would be cool as armor sets. Especially the ones with the large headgear.

7. A hood that you can mix and match with other armor similar to Phantom's hood but more like Reaper's mask - would love on my guardian for a Tyraeal theme.

 

Non-tonic novelties:

1. Crystal throne

2. Fish tank that you sit in with your swim suit and aquabreather. (just for laughs)

3. A large stone throne set on a platform like this: https://blenderartists.org/t/stone-throne/699684 But with a big tree behind it with the canopy giving it shade.

4. A movement toy that is a carriage/curtained throne being carried by four Skritt. Could be bundled with a chair item of the same model and the skritt sitting beside it.

5. Beach umbrella and beach chair for summer - maybe a boombox with it that plays something fun. Or the lab cliffs theme.

 

 

Mount skins:

 

1. Panther/Tiger jackal skin.

2. Mordrem themed mounts

3. Golemn springer skin - jetpack to boost up.

4. Charr car for roller beetle.

5. Awakened abomination - in place of... a raptor maybe?

6. Celestial themed mounts - not star themed but see through with constellations forming them

7. Chinese dragon themed griffon - hovers above ground with wings hidden? (would probably be hard to match up to current animations though)

8. Any dragon themed griffon skin

9. Unicorn/Pegasus griffon skin

10. Unicorn themed jackal for that matter

11. Fernhound jackal

12. Windrider skimmer?

13. Qilin themed mount - https://www.hexapolis.com/2014/09/24/12-strangest-hybrid-creatures-from-mythology/ Kirin in guild wars 1. Nian.

14. Manticore - but probably too similar to lion griffon skin.

15. Elk themed jackal skin - somewhat similar to warbeast jackal in terms of silhouette.

16. Giant quaggan roller beetle skin? Probably not possible with the way the character sits on the saddle and stays in the same position. Quaggan holding a balloon and player sitting on the balloon instead of saddle? idk.

17. Skale and skelk

18. Mantid and trihorns

 

I wish I could think of more for skimmer, but it's really difficult thinking of something that could fit that model. Outside of some Asura themed spacecraft.

 

 

Passes

- don't really see these anymore. Guessing because Mistlok has kind of trumped them all.. but:

1. A pre-cataclysm Orrian bazaar would be neat. Also be set in a time-rift or fractal or something and function similarly to Mistlock Sanctuary in terms of access to fractals and core map? As a less favorable alternative - just a cleansed version of Arah we haven't seen. Similar to Siren's Landing... maybe near the uncovered area near the Artesian waters? Feel like that area would make an awesome guild hall though.

 

 

All I can think of for now. If I list enough stuff eventually the odds will be greater that I see more of them, right? =p

 

 

 

[DietPepsi.4371]

Since the ANET team just released a glider that is basically a hot air balloon, would now be a good time to ask for a parafoil parachute? (Make it look fantasy but not over the top or with any silly magical effects please thanks)


 

[Naxos.2503]

Any chance of getting the Emblazoned Dragon Throne back ?

[hugo.4705]

Would like reading glasses to come back! I don't know how long we haven't seen them.

[Stand The Wall.6987]

foefire and jackal rune skins.

I NEED these. need.
