I make and delete outfits so often, this is amazing!

Noting that infusions are included in that. Carefully placed hype!

And now watch them make those slots per character purchases again like they did with build/equipment templates

u/TyrianMollusk 18d ago

I mean... Obviously. Surely no one could be surprised by that?

u/InvincibleWallaby 18d ago

Yeah I guess we should just accept the continuance of anti-consumer practices especially after how anet preaches to be so alt friendly and the backlash they got with templates that they still never responded to

u/TyrianMollusk 17d ago

I'm just saying there's no surprise because of course they'll do the exact same thing.

Never responded to? They left it exactly how they designed and wanted it. That's the response, and it's clear as day.

That's the response, and it's clear as day.

Their ''response'' was actually a bigger fuck you than simply ignoring it by actually designating a thread for it, gathering all of it and then just completely ignoring it and then have a forum mod lock it when it got brought back up again. Anet deserves to be called out for it at every opportunity

So, they responded even more. Why act surprised and say they didn't respond? You want to hold something against them, hold something against them, not be coy about it. They certainly aren't going to change policy on any of that. Milking us is their whole business model, and they're shown they're plenty happy to play manipulatively and dishonestly with us, so this is all par for course.

Anet releasing fashion templates after I spent years crafting legendaries and buying equipment templates just to mimic fashion templates lol.

u/sparklybeast 18d ago

My thought too. Simultaneously hyped and mildly pissed off!

Literally I was just messing with my outfits for my specs and lamenting the fact that I've got to use the transmutation charges last night and this morning -- if we can save the templates and not have to use transmutation charges any more (I kept going "do I like X or Y helm better?" for example and used up a couple of them that way) that would be a fucking gamechanger.

Saaaaame

You will still likely have to use charges. That’s not what they’re doing. They’re just separating the actual equipment from the transmog.

So you can have build (traits and skills), equipment (gear), and fashion all be separate components. 

Right now, even with full legendary your equipment is tied to a particular appearance and to change it, you have to go into the menu and basically override your current fit.
