Why aren't there more apparel/weapon customizations?!

[Clink]

 Overall the game is great so far! I know this could be somewhat of a small topic and I am sure others have brought it up, but I feel like we should be able to change the skin of an armor piece based on if we have collected that gear piece before. I am pretty big on character customizations and I would love to be able to make my character look nice instead of having to buy a whole set in the store. The same goes with weapons. I understand why they want people to buy more from the shop, but I feel like there are little to no options for apparel. Given that, I also think they should have a couple of armor sets for female avatars because most of them look so buff and unappealing for them. 

Don’t know if this is much of importance, but I just wanted to see what everyone’s thoughts were on this.

We should be able to in some way collect every skin as a style to apply.
That barnacle-crusted low-gear-score piece might actually be something someone wants to put together for their fashion and is trying to find all the pieces.
Except right now it’s totally not viable because of the gear score.

Fashion is one of the endgames in most long-running MMOs. NW would do well to expand on it.

I think xmog must be implemented also while leveling. I don’t see it like an endgame content, a lot of people (me either) appreciate and immerge themselves in the game with a more customized character.
Sure enough the game is literally born 3 weeks ago, so if we give them some time, we will get good news and sure, also good mogs?

Find a new piece of equipment, right click to unlock skin, then you go to the Skin viewer and choose the new one.

Simple.

I really would like to use the masked hats or the conquistador armor but I roll medium so I cant.

Agreed in a mmo tbh in modern times a transmog sistem became esencial and fundemental, that why detsiny 2 added transmog and under free but time locked methods and also pay methods, the same as wow, dc universe, trove, guldwars, pretty much mmo always have a transmog heck even minecraft with skins, and tbh teh highest content in minecraft from the comunity is skins, and the store gives you free skins, and threw earning certain achivment yo also unlock some skins, or compleating certain dungeons, quest and achivment like The Eldercrolls online.

pretty much big mmos have tansmog and free options to players i really enjoyed the methode Eso did it becuse it had a lot of free mthods to get them be it: achivments, limited event, dungeon drops, world drops, special books called montiff that gave styles, compleating certain dungeon, finishng certain quest the lis goes on and on, and on the start people also got free starter apearences.

if you whant your mmo to survive and i mean highly chance too almost gareenteed, that this has been true to all game i mention above including non memmo like teraria with vanity, or minecraft and other similiar games witch skin, or dersser etc. you nee transmog and method to get free transmog.

if their anothing a player whant to be in a mmo its being themselves and feeling like themselves and having transmog give a extreme amount of reputation to the devs from the player im serious, even darksouls had a sence of tranmog since amor worked more for poise then actual damage resistance so it was a inderect cosmetical thign were you can use anythign you whant and how you whant to loock with afecting minimal gameplay.

if there somthign that makes money in mmo and never fails and brings atention of a lot of layers, is variety and quality of that variety.

and being able to look how you whant with multiple options and not so tedius like the dye sistem in this game tbh, is a greta huge impact to the player and give a lot of variety, and Uniqueness/ FREE PLAYER CHOICE.

I agree…

I do love the barnacle-encrusted items… too bad we can’t turn them into a skin… for a fee of course.

I was looking at the skins available for my armour, through the inventory, and I noticed a new crimson count outfit. Of course, it is locked, so it must be something to do with prime or twitch. This will mean that I won’t have access to this armour skin as I am NOT going to succumb to their hard sell of prime, or twitchers… lol

But making skins out of the armour that is already in-game would be amazing. I don’t know how they would do it, but they could, and they could charge a nice sum for that benefit.

I Agree In any mmo player whant to look how the whant, and being so restrictive right of the bat especially when you dedicate to smithing uff,

it really a downside to eliminate my golder knight starmetal i craft in what just afew level and a cant keep the apearnce atlest makes me wonder if i should even be me anymore in this game or not.

Esencially th ebest way ive seen any game do this is like transmog in destiny, you equip a unlocked amor style and you equip it.

ofcourse its not getting all skins to evrybody, i beive the should be earned dismantiling thing like amore and weaons etc, and the dye i belaive the dyes are way to expensive to use on gear you change in the next 10s of a drop especialy faction dye its seirously such a huge wasfull thing, i belive that crafting or buy dies should add how many max amoutn you can dye thing.

for example if i purchas two dies i have a max value of 2 dyes and thing i can use that color is max to 2 if i buy or craft more dye i get more count i can use of that colour, this way i dont have to conetsnaly buy thing, and also not make dyes easy to optain neither.

or do like eso that doing achivment, quest or dungeos, unlock certain dyes, and montiff unlock amor.

however unlike eso i belive you should be able to colect the style of crafted gear since there unique and unobtainable in normal playing (exept the replicas)

also a option to dye weapon please.
