I just like to know certain before i click something, so question is still open... Some options aren't available in PvP maps; have you tried traveling to another map? Just a thought.

Just a flesh wound.3589 Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 From the start I thought towns clothes were poorly designed since you couldn’t wear them in combat. I don’t know about other people but I’m rarely in town unless it’s at the end of playing to clean out inventory/visit the trading post, then log out. I bought lots of gw1 costumes because you could use them in combat and I flat refused to buy any gw2 town clothes for that reason. Now it would have been nice if they had made mix and match outfits but they didn’t and being able to play while wearing them was the important point for me. So no, I don’t miss the old, flawed towns clothes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So this is more about you being disappointed that you lost out on value. The new system is far more convenient especially with the wardrobe system in place. From a pure game play perspective it is superior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that case you are either in an area that you can't use the Store in Wardrobe option, or it's already in your Wardrobe which is the reason it only gives you the two options.

Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 OP, you can contact the CS Team and request your deleted character(s) that were holding Town Clothes restored. Keep in mind that restoring a character requires an open Character Slot and that the name is still available. Or, if you have proof of purchase, just the items restored. Also, as noted above, older characters are eligible, each year, for Birthday/Anniversary rewards/gifts. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kharmin.7683 Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Yeah, I know that I deleted several tonics before they made the switch because I saw no use for them. Wish I had kept them now, though. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From a pure game play perspective it is superior. No, this has nothing to do with lost "value" this has to do with wishing they had kept the old system. If I had the gold to spare I'd buy up a bunch of the town clothes right now. I don't give a sod that they're expensive now and weren't before. Once again someone that's missing the point. > @"Inculpatus cedo.9234" said: > OP, you can contact the CS Team and request your deleted character(s) that were holding Town Clothes restored.

Don't have any spare slots and depending on when they were changed I may not have those toons. I've had 2 major breaks, one that was a year, then another that was 4. Each time I started from scratch. As such I'm on my third generation of toons. Besides, as stated, I no longer have spare slots. I make 1 toon of each race each time I play. It was also pointed out above that I probably mis-remembered the town clothes being automatic, which, of, sure, so now as an outfit it would be much the same as it usd to be, t's just gettin gsaid outfit now after all the changes that's the problem. With so much stuff being monetised or simply removed form the game. But I can clearly see that I'm in the minority, on this forum at the very least.

Having a toggle-able outfit which does not require inventory commitment and is available to every character is a strait upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 I have to agree; are you remembering Town Clothes as being free? The only ones that were included at no charge were the race-specific Starter Town Clothes (which are inexpensive to acquire, again). You can check out the old prices for the Town Clothes individual pieces and sets here: https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Town_clothing (You can follow the links to some of the item's discontinued pages, or use the 'History' option.)

Aaralyna.3104 Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Okay, I clicked on the town clothing as "use" and then it went wardrobe unlock. So the text is basically not adjusted to the wardrobe system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You bring the tonic to the NPC (namely the [black Lion Exchange Specialist](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Black_Lion_Exchange_Specialist "Black Lion Exchange Specialist")) who exchanges it for an outfit that is automatically added to your Wardrobe, if I remember correctly. > @"Aaralyna.3104" said: > Okay, I clicked on the town clothing as "use" and then it went wardrobe unlock.

Yes, I am remembering them as, not oso much free, but as something bought cheaply with gold, as I know I had more than 1 set, but I've only recently made my first gem store purchase (that wasn't free) to get the living story. And I have that as a checkable history right back to the day1 celebratory hat we were given for having pre-purchased the game way back when. So if I am remembering incorrectly then fair enough, and I guess nostalgia isn't always what you think it was ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just buying a shirt being cheaper than buying a shirt, plus pants, hats, gloves, etc. is nothing surprising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sorudo.9054 Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 they were absolutely useless, good thing they got rid of that system. what you're really asking for is having outfits in pieces, not town clothes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eloc Freidon.5692 Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Its still relevant. I miss that the new outfits have broke the dye channels and that you can no longer choose which pieces to wear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joneirikb.7506 Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 I do miss parts of the old town clothes system, largely that you could select pieces of them and mix together. On the other hand I also like the outfit system so they doesn't go away every time you take damage etc. Still miss GW1's system of enabling them and hat separate for combat/city areas. Basically I find good and bad with all versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Hayes.6890 Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 I wish you had clothing settings that automatically changed for towns, hot weather, cold weather, etc... Each one being something you select and are able to dye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jokubas.4265 Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 > @"Automaton.2751" said: > Am I the only one that misses the old "Town Clothes" option? A set of clothes you could equip like armour in a seperate tab that would equip like a costume whenever you were in town. > Did you have a mod? My problem with Town Clothes was exactly that it didn't do that. The idea of actually having our characters dress like normal people in town instead of going around in elaborate glowing armor 24/7 was an interesting concept for immersion, but when you had to equip it manually it was just never going to matter. The vast majority of players aren't roleplayers and are never going to bother with it at all. More casual roleplayers (like myself) aren't committed enough to bother remembering every time they went into town (especially when you're often only in town briefly) and doing a manual action that otherwise doesn't matter at all. The fact that there weren't very many options (everyone just wearing the same racial outfit while in town would be silly) didn't help, but it seems obvious that one of the reasons the options remained limited was that people weren't using it to begin with. I'd be all for it returning if it returned as an automated system for the sake of immersion, rather than a manual thing that only a small part of the audience is ever going to use (and a part of the audience that could still manually replicate a similar concept, at that).
