Weapon Swapping & Outfit Bug

Enemy-of-Coldharbour

Has anyone else noticed this:

Let’s say you have an outfit style applied to all your weapons. For some reason you decide to swap weapons and by that I don’t mean simply changing from front to back bars; I mean physically changing one weapon with the other in your load-out. What happens (for me at least) is the weapons will lose their outfit assignments. The weapons will either lose their outfit assignment all together and show the crafted style or use the outfit assignment for the weapon that was previously assigned to that gear slot. It’s as if the outfit system is assigning the outfit style to the slot rather than the actual piece of gear.

That's how it's supposed to work.

At the outfit station, you assign an outfit style to that slot, not the particular weapon. That is divided by weapon category (bow, 1h, 2h, shield, staff). So it's always slot+category for weapons and only slot for armour.

If you change your weapon within the same category (a bow for a bow, an ice staff for a flame staff, a dagger for an axe...), the outfit is retained. It's bound to the slot.
If you change weapons to a different category, the new weapon has no outfit style assigned, and will show the actual item.
