Here are some areas we wanted to improve on: Collecting Weapon and Armor Skinsįor the Wardrobe, we’ve changed skins to an account-wide unlock system. We remade the system from the ground up, finding the best user experience for both designing your look and setting out to make that look a reality. The PvP team had solved some portions of the problem with gear lockers, but we’ve been making strides to try to unify game modes and progression for players who like alts, so we needed something bigger. It’s been quite an undertaking to transform our original transmutation system into a much more user-friendly and intuitive system. I’ve personally been working on it since the Wallet was released. The Wardrobe has been a long project in the making. Now I’m going to hand it off to Ryan Diederich, one of the programmers who worked on the Wardrobe system. Hopefully your time in Guild Wars 2 gets a little more enjoyable with the Wardrobe! The best part about working on UI is putting ourselves in the role of the player and trying to invent new interfaces, large and small, that will make our game more enjoyable to play. Our plan is to continue augmenting the Wardrobe system, and our current design opens up a lot of possibilities to do that in the future. We designed the Wardrobe to be expandable going forward, which can be tricky for an MMO whose development environment is constantly evolving. We wanted to make sure that adding the Wardrobe feature would cater to all types of players without colliding with their current play styles.
We had just one question to answer: How can we make this system smooth, painless, and fun to use?Įverybody interacts with the Equipment tab frequently, whether they’re experienced Fractals runners or newcomers just learning their way around Tyria. The Hero Panel already allows you to equip your armor and weapons, so we decided to use that as a jumping-off point to create a one-stop-shop wardrobe-modification system. We started thinking about the Wardrobe by examining what features currently felt disconnected-the skins that were cluttering up our banks, transmutation crystals and stones, and the transmutation UI itself, to name a few-and thought of them as puzzle pieces that we wanted to assemble into a better, more unified solution. The Wardrobe system has been a very exciting project to work on, one we feel will really enhance your in-game experience! To talk about our approach to designing the account Wardrobe, here’s Kate Welch, UI artist. We’re really excited about the updates to the dye system, which Curtis Johnson has talked about in detail. It’s as simple as that!Īnother addition to the Hero Panel is the Dye tab, which has received some significant updates. You’ll be able to preview your look right there in your Hero Panel and click “Apply” once you’re satisfied with your look to lock in your changes with Transmutation Charges.
BLADE AND SOUL ONLINE WARDROBE UPDATE
When you’re in the Wardrobe tab, you can select skins to apply to your weapons and armor to update your look without losing your awesome stats.
The Wardrobe tab is the home of our new simplified transmutation system.
BLADE AND SOUL ONLINE WARDROBE SKIN
However, you’ll also see the Wardrobe tab, which collects every armor and weapon skin you unlock in the game on any character on your account! In your Hero Panel, the manner in which you equip different stat gear will remain the same. When you log in after the April 15 release, you’ll see some big changes.
