If you can find 99% of this playerbase to agree on what constitutes real content, I'd be surprised.

Mihile.7609 Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 We should keep this. Maybe do like FFXIV does and have theme's or something every few weeks or something. Fashion is the true end-game for some, let's add more to it! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xperiment.6923 Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 Another good thing FF players have is tabs to save a transmog outfit. I think they can save up to 20. We need this! 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sanus.3502 Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 (edited) I was very excited to be a part of this, and although joined in and had fun, was SO disappointed that back pieces don't show. It takes away from a lot of my character's looks. Still, it was fun and it was great seeing the effort and creativity that some folks put into their looks. It would have been nice to have some sort of take away or vendor offering like with previous April Fools events. Love the idea of an "emperor's new clothes" tonic where we all get pixilated/blurred naked effect! (maybe add a crown to your head as well).

Robert Calais.8425 Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 (edited) Just thought I'd let everyone know what if you activate an embiggening tonic between two contests and keep it active until the cooldown timer hits zero, the game will remove your transformation, but won't give you the skills to support contentants (7,8 and 9). If you then re-enable and disable your tonic again, you can use back pieces, novelties and mounts. You're welcome.

Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 If you mean use Novelties when participating in Fashion show, you can already do that without doing anything special. At least, you can use the 'bundle' Novelties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airpaper.2138 Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 I'm sure that if this were on a timer every few hours or something, or even at least during other festivals, there would be tons of people participating. It's a really great event, I hope that this will stay in some way 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any fresh event is a good event regardless of whether if there are rewards or not. But I totally agree with the above quotes. I think some kind of tokens of appreciation or rewards may improve the participant numbers but shyness is the one that stopped me from participating in any Fashion Wars contests hosted by the players and guilds and this April Fools one too. I know this is just a pixel thing but still, looking pretty and sexy is one thing, standing on stage or in a ring where all eyes are focus on you is too much for me. I am a shy person irl you know 🙂 Wish this April Fools joke event could be made into a content and for sure I will be there, to support and vote if needed. Nice one ANet edit : And enabling minis to summon their own mounts whenever players mount up is really a cool idea. Let them catch up to us and be by our sides whenever they are not hidden instead of disappearing all the time 🙁 Edited April 2, 2023 by Min Min.9368 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to weigh in on this, as I made a new toon especially for this event. Having read through most of the thread, I'll echo some sentiments by saying we need backpieces to be visible on stage even if you remove them from people in the peanut gallery, I mean, er... crowd. Also, tonics are not fashion. I know this will rub fur the wrong way with some people, but it was meant for those with armour and weapons to show off. What's also needed is for the voting to STOP after the last person has been on stage and the timer has run down. While the "judges are tallying votes" there shouldn't be the ability to vote anymore. Make it a sub-event so the Approve/Wave/Cheer can be removed. I really don't care if I'm late to the party on this, I'm just sharing my sentiments for next year's if they decide to keep it. It needs quite a bit of refinement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danikat.8537 Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 For a joke event with no rewards and only an achievement for participation I think it was fine. But if it is brought back as a reoccuring activity, especially as part of other festivals, I agree it could use some refinement. Personally though I think tonics and outfits are ok. No it's not as creative as making your own style, but especially for some of the themed rounds if it fits the theme I think it should be allowed. Maybe one thing they could change for next time is to add a clearer voting system. Maybe replace the audiences weapon skills with scores from 1-5, which can be used once per round, and then leave the cheer, approve and wave reactions as free actions which don't affect the voting.
