Guild Wars 2’s Fashion Templates Are Getting A Rework Based On Player Feedback

It hasn’t been all that long since ArenaNet implemented Fashion Templates in Guild Wars 2. Since then, it seems players have been offering feedback, and the devs are taking it seriously, posting a thread on the free-to-play MMORPG’s forums detailing what is being done. The thread breaks the changes down by the amount of time expected to be needed to implement them, beginning with two changes that are already live.

Already live is a fix that prevents changing skins in Fashion Templates from needing a Transmutation Charge if the new skin and the current skin match. The other live change is that first-time-experience popups for Fashion Templates reflect the new behavior of the Get Equipped Fashion option.

The rest of the changes will take place between now and the quarterly update in May. Prior to March, the devs will make UI changes intended to make accessing various parts of the Fashion Templates less click-heavy and easier to find. In March and April, they’ll adjust the tutorial to make it “more concise and helpful”. Finally, in May, a “Current” tab will be introduced, allowing players to easily make changes to their current outfit without the need to access Fashion Templates. Once it’s all done, players should have a smoother experience when applying their new fashion.
