What do you guys think of the costume concept released by GW last night? My wife and i saw it and got a set for each of us. I really like it being an Ele. My outfits were kind of lame and the Grenth one looks really cool.

Could this be a feature that we will see more of? Either in GW1 or GW2? Personally I really hope so. this way if I love a profession but hate the armor I don't have to try and mod it myself. I'm not so sure about it being a pay only option though. Maybe a really hard quest line with a pay option would be cool that way players without the cash(or the desire to spend it) can still spend time and get it.

-Proph.

p.s. can you imagine next Halloween?!?!...wonder why they didn't release these sooner?

This.


10 bucks for something that holds no practicality (I can see storage/character slots) is not something I'm into. Besides, I'd never use them aside from "hey look what I have! :D" because I like my armor more than these costumes. its a good idea for Anet to get more money, I've seen quite a few people running around in them, but its not for me. GG Anet, but no thank you.
 
I like that they are going this route. The last thing I want is to pay for say, weapons and armor types or anything that will get you a competitive advantage that can't be achieved in-game. Cosmetic changes are great, because if i don't like it, I don't feel obligated in any way to buy them.

Actually, I think $10 for something that has no effect on gameplay is quite a good way to operate. Those who want it buy it, and those who don't buy it aren't at a disadvantage gameplay-wise.
 
I haven't decided yet whether I'm going to get a costume. However, I'm for anything that helps support Anet while they develop GW2.
 
I wouldn't mind having the Dwayna costume. I'll have to see if I have any money after christmas and eve payment. :o
 
I think it's a great idea on A-net's part. They need to generate income and this seems to be a good way to do it. I've already seen a lot of characters in town in these costumes so it's sounds like it was successful.

Personally, I won't be buying them. I don't want to spend the money on a costume when I'm perfectly happy with my armor choices, but as long as A-net is offering items for sale that have no ingame advantage, I have no problems with it.

Now if they start selling:
Elite Battlechar Swords
Slashing Dmg: 25-35 (Req 9 Swordsmanship)
Inscription: None
Health +45

....in the ingame store for $10 a pop then I have issues.
 
Hey, I agree with the above. I think it's cool that Anet isn't selling game-changing gear.

That said, I got the costumes and have been pretty happy with them. I was so happy for my warrior and necro to have "fancy clothes" to wear that weren't all armor-y. Felt like I was sending them off to the prom.

Yeah, it was kind of a splurge... but Anet's been pretty easy on my wallet the last three or four years. I feel like we're cool with livin' it up a little for the holidays.
 
I was kinda hoping that instead of hats this year at wintersday, they would hand out Santa Suits for the costume slot.
