Smoosh.2718 Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 I hope there will be plans with the upcoming release of the new legendary armour system for templates, there is a simular system system for wardrobes.This would allow players to set a look for each build they create. Transmutation charges to only be used when you first make the template but not when you switch wardrobe template.I would be ok with 2 being provided and extras would cost gems.

kharmin.7683 Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 They would probably not do this because they would lose the sale of transmutation charges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a look that will not change because of some of the items on my character, the boots and head.With this system i will make other looks, as i am then not so afraid of changing the look i like.

kharmin.7683 Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 With the current system in place you can make other looks. It just costs transmutation charges. If you don't have enough, you would need to buy them. Anet wants you to buy them. It's part of their revenue stream. Why would they want players to spend less money?

Randulf.7614 Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 I think it's a great idea and have been hoping for it for years. I think the loss of transmutation sales would be made up from selling slots and I don't think they necessarily get a large amount of charge sales anyway given how easy they are to obtain in game via dailies, map completion etc. It would likely also encourage players to buy more gem skins or spend more time in game working towards a wider variety of skins so they could set things up and save them in place. The charge system is a bit more cumbersome and it certainly puts me off having to change on the fly, re-dye, then change back use lots of charges individually and re-dye again. As a result, I barely care about new skins in store or in game and stick with my set (admittedly awesome) single look per toonI think they will be cautious though to do it more because they are struggling with the more important build templates and then to design something that not only works, but meshes intuitively with it and the rest of the UI at this stage seems unlikely.Plus I think I'm running out of hot keys as it is lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kharmin.7683 Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 I'm not against the idea. I just don't see how ANet would profit from it. Or, at least, profit as much as they currently do. Is it worth their time/investment to code this or would it be simpler to continue with the current implementation. Only they can answer that.

Trise.2865 Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 As with many "free, open wardrobe" requests: Possible, but not likely....unless they find a way to replace revenue from Transmutation, or deem that insignificant enough to be an acceptable loss.

Ayakaru.6583 Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 The only thing they could do is sell golden transmutation charges. Maybe like 400 gems each, and rare from BLCs, that will make 1 skin permanently free to apply.That way, they'll still make quite a bit of money out of it.

The Greyhawk.9107 Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 I'm completely neutral on this suggestion, so whether it gets implemented or not doesn't matter to me, but I do have to ask, does Anet actually make money off of selling transmutation charges? I've never bought any amount of the things under the current system (I might have with the old stones and crystals of the old system) and I have over 300 more or less just sitting in my wallet. With how many one can earn of the thing in game I can't help but wonder if Anet really care that much beyond getting a couple bucks from newer accounts that haven't had time to save any up from map completion and daily logins.

Well someone people seem to change skins hourly and cant get enough transumtation charges no matter how long they play we are all diffrent.Think I got around 600 saved up myself becouse I usualy stick to the thing I fancy.

Tyncale.1629 Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 If I could make templates I too would probably start spending Transmutation Charges, finally. Right now I have been hogging them for 6 years because for some reason I feel like it is a waste to change my outfit or weapon since I do not know when I will want to reverse it: and have to pay with charges again to do that. The feeling of being stuck with a template for at least a while since I paid 6 charges for it, discourages me to do it. So I just spent a few charges on a Bladed look about 4 years ago which I like a lot, and have not changed it since then......If I know that once I have made an armor template for 6 charges, that I can use that forever, I would probably go on a spree and make 30 templates, spending 180 of my 216 accumulated charges(leaving the rest for wepaons). And then I would actually use different wardrobe looks, something I do not currently because of the above (weird?) reason. So at least a player like me would be more prone to at least spend his current charges: I would still never buy them though(never did). I am guessing Anets income for these charges relies on the real fashion mongers amongst us, and maybe they are afraid that sales will go down once these people have all the wardrobe templates they will ever want. Or not, and they keep buying more because now it is so easy to change your attire. :) I think the idea could work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 I don't think that ArenaNet would worry about Transmutation Charge sales if they sold the Wardrobe Template slots. Much like they didn't seem to care about loss of sales for things players put in Shared Inventory Slots.Maybe, just maybe, it will be a feature in the up-coming Expansion. :open_mouth: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
