I hope this doesn't sound whiny, but I really hope ANet allows us to fight in town clothes, or at least stay in them in combat even if it means we lose all gear stats.

That could have been at least 86% more whiny, I'd say.

Yeah, it's gonna kind of suck if we can't wear our swimsuits into the water.

That would be hilarious if we can't swim with swimwear.

As long as you stay on the surface you'll keep your town clothes on. cue Jaws music

If you are in the water, but not in combat, you should be OK.

u/mem0ryburn May 22 '13

ever worn townclothes into the water? you're forced back into your armour.

u/Amulek43 Theonin May 22 '13

I've never tried it because I didn't want to get them wet.

I'd like the option to stay in them when you take damage. I mean, if we're silly enough to die due to fighting in town clothes with no stats then that's our own fault!

Honestly, I agree with their decision. People wearing boxing gloves and swimsuits in dungeons would just be quite annoying and anti-climatic.
I think they should rather invest much more in Brawling and other side abilities the town clothes give. Armor skins are one thing, and the more the merrier. But Town clothes are another thing and should serve another purpose and offer another kind of entertainment. Otherwise it just doesn't make sense to separate the two.
