    I have 2 legendary robes already. I hope I have mats for a third and this doesn't require extra research.

    So these kinds of people are the reason we don't get anything actually useful in the game.

    Developers see this kind of shart and think, "omg we can make money off these fools."

    NO WONDER nothing gets fixed.

    I still see majority of the fixes I want, and it still ticks me off that they have yet to fix the Cyrodiil group lag. Be patient, it's mentioned before and will be done in time.

    In the meantime, appreciate that the company listens to the customer. Despite all the fixes and contents they push, they still manage to give us Jerkins.

    This is not a fix post, go do it somewhere else. If the fix you want is reasonable and urgent, I'll gladly second it.
    People keep telling me they're gonna buy me an ale. They never do.

    There are only two things I can't stand in this world. People who are intolerant of other people's culture. And the Elves.

    Help make this compilation complete!

    Quick Question if anyone knows:

    Do I have to research the traits for the Jerkins separately or is it a Robe or Jerkin selection dealio?

    I would assume it's under light armour. Since it's labeled as Light Armour.

    Yes I know it's light armor, what I am saying is it a separate light armor item that will have to have all 8 traits researched as well as the robe having it's own 8 to research?
    The research for the jerkins and robes is combined - if you know something for robes, you will also know it for jerkins.

    Really, REALLY happy for this. I love light armor, but hate robes with a passion. Now for my caster to regain his dignity. I wonder if we'll have to research a new set of traits, or will it inherit the previous chest ones? Will know in a few hours I guess.

    Also, I just got two tomatoes from my hireling. Life is good.

    Edit: Zos_GinaBruno ... the timing of our posts, it must be fate! Thanks for answering this. :)

    I think it would be researched separate just like the med armor jacks and guards. Meaning its a separate piece .

    is this a trick question? are you testing me?

    it is The Altmer!

    and you must know this, there are many heretics who say that gold skinned abominations are Altmer. never trust their words, for their blood runs black.
    here are the examples of their wicked behaviour:
    1. they say that an Altmer can be born outside of Alinor! ludicrous
    2. they say that an Altmer remains one even after an exile! preposterous
    3. they wish to dose Altmer with MAN like feelings and bring them down on their knees sobbing and wailing like a lesser races wenches! disgusting
    4. they say that an Altmer can marry a lesser race! grisly
    5. they say that an Altmer can be a vampire or necromancer! they say that mannimarco and other daedric kissed filth is an altmer! HERESY!!!
    6. they say that an Altmer can be homosexual. they deny thousand years of eugenics infanticide and say that such basic defect did not vanish in the process of its glorious machinations. they say that these beings who voluntarily do not participate in procreation, extension of Altmer bloodlines are Altmer themselves! high treason
    7. they say that Altmer can worship divines. absurd
    8. they say that that Altmer may and wish to live outside Alinor. madness
    9. they say that Altmer have a choice whether they want to have children or not. vile

    now you know who the Altmer is, put a jerkins on him and oppress some lesser races! all in the name of Auri-El!

    So glad to see jerkins coming to the game, I HATE robes and since I've had to move away from medium armor, I'll be set with jerkins. Once dye comes to the game I'll truly be fashionable.

    Yes, because the devs doing graphic changes are clearly also the ones doing ability and balance coding.

    Light jerkins are there so the teen male population who want to play scantily-clad female Sorcs.
    Actual female who has a Templar female who wears heavy chest because the Robes look like BURRITOS when anyone is running or worse sneaking. They are AWFUL.

    Yeah, because it's not like devs for content (especially graphic-only content) are different than devs for bug fixes with almost completely different skillsets or anything. It's not like they're completely different teams or anything. Oh wait, it's exactly like that. Good thing you're complaining about things that you don't understand at all.

    This is most excellent. Can we also have just the lower half of robes be craftable as a leg piece so we can, say, wear a heavy chest piece with robes for the bottom? Some of the NPCS already seem to have this setup.

    Don't lay it all on the teen male population perverts come in all sexes and age ranges. I personally am in favor of it and almost 50 years old.

    there is "no other useful purpose". Realy?

    To be honest all that is needed is plane geometric shapes with some kind of marking to differentiate them. same for mobs we had games like this back in the early days of computer gaming, They didn't last long. Thank the makers of Quake UT and Doom. ( beginning game creation is still like this in some cases before the skins are added )

    Could it possibly be because some of us like a bit of variety and fashion? or players that would like to play a cloth but the ideal of wearing a dress dose not appeal to them

    AT LAST!

    Now my NB, my DK and my Templar can finally stop wearing dresses and wear pants like men. My cute female Sorc will continue to wear her fancy robes.

    Now if we can craft a fire staff with a light curve, so that it looks like a bow, plus a resto staff with a handle, that looks like a two handed sword and balance will be restored in this game.

    /sarcasm in case you haven't noticed.

    Yeah, I feel the same way. I'd like to wear a medium armor jack and still have a skirt. Daedric breeches are skirts, but they look kinda like potato sacks and that motif is crazy expensive.

    Don't take anything he says too seriously. He's strange. And I'm pretty sure he wasn't implying that women don't play ESO.

    We are still all trying to get the download i think. I guess they will be like the ones already ingame though.
