119959-suggestion-for-customization

== Content ==
			
I'm not sure if there's an actual suggestion category as I haven't seen one or been able to find it. Apologies if this is in the wrong place. :)
 
I am a costume junkie. Therefore, I have an entire bank filled to the brim with armor that I like the looks of and plan to use for a costume. Yes, I'm weird, but I've talked to several people in the same boat -- they have no storage room because they're saving armor for costumes.
 
So heres's my suggestion. Create a way for us to 'learn' the appearance of armor. Maybe we could spend gold or Renown on a voucher that turns a piece of armor into something similar to a dye. Right-click to learn it, and then it would be available in the stylist interface to chose from just like using dye.
 
This would be a great solution for my inventory management (hoarding) issues. >.>	
----
			Yes, please! Though I'd prefer it just get automatically learned when a piece goes into our inventory.	
----
			You are not alone. I keep having to cull my collection so that I can grind dailies. I think your idea has some merit. A better system that we currently have is needed.	
----
			+1 for a great idea :)	
----
			
Yes, please.
 
I would love the ability to 'learn' the appearances of weapons and armor. I swear, I have an armory large enough to supply the entire Dominon military sitting in my bank.
 
I don't have room for anything else. T.T

Guild Wars 2 changed their costume system to that. The aspect of every item you wear is unlocked account wide. Along with their dye system (also account wide but also free) it's the best customization I've seen outside of superhero MMOs...if we ignore how it's linked to a cash shop item.
 
In fact, it has an added benefit: if what is saved is the appareance and not the item, then we would have no reason to restrict the costume system to NPCs. Nobody would be able to "exploit" it for extra inventory space (which was the stated reason to link it to NPCs in the first place). 
 
The only disadvantage to this system is that Carbine would probably have to rework the whole system. I believe it was a pretty big patch when GW2 implemented it.

AGREE!!!! DO WANT!!!
 
half my bank on all my characters are all costume pieces.
i find cool things and store them, in fear of never being able to find that model of armor again.
i've had to throw away countless things and spend hours cutting down just to keep it under control
thats no fun
 
its hard to find certain things too, like i cant for the life of me find the boots that go to the head/shoulders/chest/gloves AND legs i have.
i have the full set and cant find the correct boots to go with the set. stuff is never on market and i have no way to look up the model (as far as i know...)

I agree. So probably the most simple answer is for Carbine to add in more costume slots to buy for Elder gems or Renown. Till a system like Shannaliz suggested can be added to the game.

			YES.  Aside from the space issue, it would've more elegantly solved the storage abuse problem that caused the devs to make us go to the Protostar stylists to change costumes in the first place.  It also has the benefit of letting us use one item in more than one costume.  It's pretty frustrating to get a quest reward that looks great for more than one costume, only to find that there's no BoE equivalent.

			I love the way my Stalker looks in Heavy Armor so I have bags full of the stuff. That being said, how about a way to unlock looks so that you can clear out the bank AND use them in more then one costume? That change is right around the corner.

			Costume hype train! I don't think account wide is the way to go on anything but dye and maybe mounts depending on how they are achieved though, takes away from people engaging in the activities to obtain the bonuses/costumes/etc when you make it one time. A same faction rather than single character based bank may be nice though, but that gets messy with soulbound items.

I think this was tried in Diablo 3.  I think it works exceptionally well.  I wouldn't mind it being tried in Wildstar.
----
			How bout just let us left click on existing armor to consume it, becoming an 'armor style' that doesn't take up space in our inventory (collectors would go crazy for this feature).	
----
			No, then I wouldn't be able to costume pieces that I may need for a particular gear set. :S Best if it just auto-unlocks whenever an item drops in your inventory.

Two more things thou:* Allow us to wear class locked items as costumes (If I can have heavy armor as light class as costume i dont see any reason why i could not wear an engineer heavy armor as costume).
* Add Costume versions (no stats) of Class sets to somewhere (EG probably?) so we dont need to loot it from other people in raid.

As long as Preset costumes remain as they are and I get to preserve my costumes as I've created them but at the same time I get to flip and swap costumes as I can right now at free will and nothing about preset costumes changes. HAVE AT IT.
 
I just absolutely freaking adore and love the current preset costume pages that Carbine created, one of the best things ever and It's amazing. did I mention its fantastic? I should say that.

			LMAO this is the most excitement I've ever seen on these forums... but apparently "right around the corner" did not mean "the drop that is coming in a month and a half." When can we expect to see this? How faraway is said corner that all we have to do is turn? Friggin' long hallway, man.

Drop 5 as said during one of the recent livestreams (around 8 min. mark).
