Why is guild clothing on the last page?

  • Over a year of development to put out guilds assuming they started working on it before s9 began (which they did). In all that time and with the commendations/achievements being tied to wearing specific clothing and not once did anyone think "We should really, finally, add a favorites option to clothing". Seems like it would have been the perfect time to add in such a feature. I imagine the excuse would be from a galleon perspective each crew mate would be performing a different role so each could have on the appropriate outfit. However Navigator for example if you are out doing riddles everyone would have to go swap their clothing once you get to an island then once you're ready to leave go swap back in case PvE spawns on you on the way to the next island etc. Or perhaps it's just me and the continued regret of buying every cosmetic from the early days and now being annoyed at a messy chest of cosmetics I never wanted other than for completionist sake.

    It's funny how early on Rare wasn't adding much for cosmetics so you could 100% the collection now with the emporium and adding new items to the shops I find myself wanting to literally pay gold to remove cosmetics from my chest. No lie I would love that gold sink. Take a loss to just sell your old stuff you no longer want. Not that it is even a lot compared to some others but 30 million gold, nothing I want to buy but plenty of items I want to sell back.

  • So here’s my theory of how they order stuff in all of the cosmetic boxes. I believe they create the assets, mark them for release at a certain time, then add them to the game. Once they officially release then they’ll show up, BUT, because some release sooner than others, in the chest they’re ordered slightly differently. Hence why the guild clothing is where it is.

  • I hope for a time where they allow us to change the order of things

    Group clothing of the same colour
    Group clothing by type eg all Seadog shirts together
    Apply a whole clothing set at the push of a button
    Save clothing sets

    Something needs to be done with the cosmetic management because after five years it is becoming too unwieldy.

  • @tesiccl There was a note in one of the patches a while box they had reworked the sorting a few times but weird we don't have control over it in any way. I believe now it's most recently acquired on the last page or something? Would think it would be the other way around so you didn't have to go through pages on each cosmetic tab to equip everything. It's a temporary problem as once you clear the guild commendations it will just become another non issue. I'm sure others are doing the same but I just throw on a costume now because it's easier than trying to go through all the clothing options and do a proper outfit. Weird design choices in this game considering end game is all about cosmetic collecting.
