Update a costume for Male Characters (wedding update)

The male version of Formal Attire is the same as male version of Dapper Tuxedo. So males get 2 costumes (not to mention that are very similar) while female characters get 3 costumes.
I think Formal Attire should be updated to be a different model from Dapper Tuxedo. If we paid for 6 costumes we should receve 6 costumes not 5.

How do Anet justify the cost of these costumes?

The dapper and formal are the same price, even though they're 50% the same.
Buying those 3 costumes together is 1.5 times the cost of buying 2 normal costume packs.

The wedding couple costumes are the price of any of the other costume packs for one each, male and female. That's 2 costumes for the price of 4. The whole pack of 5 costumes for more than 1.3 times the cost of 4 costumes from any of the other packs is outrageous.

Are Anet just testing the boundaries of market acceptability here? The formal and dapper costumes should be one pack at the regular price, the wedding couple another and all 5 for the same price as the halloween costume pack. That would be a fair price imo, although the costumes themselves are not to my taste. I understand you've a business to run but even for optional extras, it's pushing it for a cosmetic change.

The extra content though is pretty cool. Can't wait for it to be not broken

I don't play male characters, but I totally agree with the OP. The guys don't seem to be getting a very good deal here.

I understand that men can be a little boring to dress for formal occasions, but were there really no ideas for a third tux?

I might consider buying the new costumes if males got 3 different costumes. Not 2 and both almost identically looking costumes.

We're obviously getting more and more costumes( because the money i guess...). I think it would have been better if we unlocked those through quests .....

Is not that I don't like the costumes. Is not that the male costumes are ugly(this is just a mater of taste). Is the fact that if I pay for 2 sets(tux and formal attire) I only get like a set and a half. I'd pay for a costume twice.

My solution was to only buy the formal costume. Not missing out on anything for the male versions, and the formal is the only one I like on the female characters

I somewhat agree about selling one costume twice, and calling it two. The big pack doesnt seem like much of a deal, to me, so I won't buy it; but maybe the male tux only, because Ive been asking for tophats since 2006, and it's worth it to me. worth is something everyones gotta decide all on thier very own.

Meh, I bought the whole pack without really thinking.

I like Female Tux the best, but how could I not have the wedding dress?

I agree the male should have one more option... maybe a casual miami vice look?

Ohh, or maybe some lingerie for both sexes... (actually, that could be in another Honeymoon pack)

Would be nice if the entire set was still $10 like the usual. Buuut oh well. I'm surprised that there isn't a third costume for males though, and that the male tuxs don't have much differences between them.

afaik there's a lot of styles out there for male tuxedos that three different kinds of tuxedos wouldn't be too hard at all. I'm just a bit surprised I guess. Even then they wouldn't have to stick to tuxedos though either.

Yeah, made a thread about this same issue at the other forum (and it seems it was the wrong place). So i Will just paste here what i've wrote:

So yeah, agreed. I dont play female characters, so for me it was not a fair deal with the wedding costume pack.

I like the new male mesmer armor for sure. Too bad I don't roll a male mesmer.

I think y'all may be reading this whole thing wrong.

It's not "Male characters get 2 costumes, and female characters get 3!"

It's "My account gets 5 costumes."

You don't have to buy the pack once for each different character. You buy it once and can use it with all characters, present and future, male and female. It's the same price for everyone.

Now, you may have decided to only make male toons, but that's not ANet's fault -- and you can still roll a female in the future and have those 3 costumes available to you at that time.

It's like... I pay the same price for Cable TV that you do, but I only watch Comedy Central and Cartoon Network, where you watch and DVR dozens of different things. I am choosing not to get all the value I can get for my price, but that doesn't make the price I pay less fair, ya know what I mean?

So, I think that it's the same, and fair, for everyone!

A Miami Vice type look would be awesome.

Lingerie....... eh..

I could just picture it now. Girls would have some sort of corset with stockings and a garter, while guys would have smiley face boxer shorts with black socks. >.<

Would you like to pay for a pack of 60 TV channels and instead of that get 50 different channels and 10 channels that are just duplicates?

I'm very disappointed also.
Even if they couldn't come up with anything other than a suit, there are many, many styles of formal attire for men.

Off the top of my head, I can think of:

• different kinds of hats; rounded, short, summery/non-formal, tall, pointy end; details: feathers, bows, flowers (:P)
• a vest, with no blazer; or just a good dress shirt,
• choice of bowtie / tie / nothing,
• tuxedo cut / non-tuxedo cut, pattern detail (example: Courtly mesmer jacket)/ no pattern,
• summery shirt + pants or capris; sandals or barefoot, so that it would match the summery dress.
• a thin sexy suit instead of fat wammo suit. Yeah baby :3

Mmmyeah.
:-/

this.

I've enjoyed the costumes up until now, but if they are going to start offering duplicates like this then i'm not going to waste my time or money on these anymore.

On the GW2Guru forum, a kilt was suggested as a male option. I like that idea.

yes they could have come up with 3 different tux types (tails, double breasted, with or without a cumberbun, bow tie or reg, white dinner coat....plenty of options). WHY they decided men dont get a 3rd choice????

I don't know and I have the feeling that no one from A.net will ever give us an explanation
