Glass looks EXTREMELY ugly !

I gotta say, I love the look.

I didn't care much for the traditional green, so I went elsewhere with it, but you can pick greens that will look very glass.

Anyway, I did my setup with 5 heavy, 1 med glove, 1 light belt, all glass and dyed if you want to take a look

Yea no comment, the heavy helmet is a masterpiece. If you're wearing this, you can recognize people investigating you when you stand around in a city and if you run, they will follow (seriously happened to me yesterday) and they will whisper you Enjoy this fame as long as glass is still something very luxury.

Wow, that's pretty clean. I was a bit nervous because of the non-finished products that I had seen, but now that I see it in actual gameplay. It looks gorgeous. If only I can find an image of what the robes look like, however...

The armor was bad enough. The weapons looked good on the art design. In game is a different story.

imo armor and weapon models look amaizing problem is u need to dye them, armor is no biggy then but the weapons which most people look forward to getting will still look crappy colorwise.

Zos just needs to hurry up and add weapon & shield dyes...

I think it looks great

The actual glass material sections are dyeable, so how good or bad it looks is up to the player. I agree that the lack of dyeing reduces the beauty of the weapons... Hopefully that gets released at some point.

Is that medium?

NovaMarx

This is why we need the ability to dye our weapons!!! And shields, for that matter.

Just let us dye everything!

This thread made me laugh. People saying it looks nothing like Glass armour! its not green! cause glass is green. We know Tamriel better than you Devs!

... I agree malachite is bright green from the copper oxide (CuCO3.Cu(OH)2) but isn't technically Glass. if this is truely glass armor maybe they didn't have the ability to add the oxides required to the glass back in this era in tamriels history?

don't get me wrong though i had high hopes for a tinge of green.

Tamriel glass isn't Earth glass, just like Tamriel ebony isn't Earth ebony. Your chemical knowledge is irrelevant. Read up on glass armor lore (UESP will help), look at glass armor in the previous games, then you'll understand why it needs to be green. Malachite = glass in this setting. Raw glass was green in Morrowind.

You see, people requested glass armor because it's one of the most iconic TES armors. Implementing a "glass" motif which looks nothing like the one people know and love was a mistake.

It's probably worth pointing out, Ebony is actually a Aedric infused obsidian in the Elder Scrolls. I think specifically infused by the blood of Lorkhan, but, the point stands, you're crafting obsidian armor.

Lorkhan cannot really be considered an Aedra. Aedra is an elvish word after all and Aedra are 'Our ancestors' Lorkhan is no ancestor. So he is no real Aedra, rather a demon.

Well, the problem there is that there are no demons in the Elder Scrolls cosmology. Extradimensional entities? Sure. Beings with godlike power? Sure. Demons? Not so much. While the word Aedra is Elven, the beings it refer to predate the language, and yes, Lorkhan is usually referred to as an Aedra, and is roughly the same class of being as Akatosh and the other divines.

Of couuurse, demons don't exists. It was my personal opinion on him like saying 'Get lost you demon!'
Even though I've heared NPCs using the word 'Demon' in The Elder Scrolls. But NPC's in TESO also use dirty and violent language, which I've never heared before in other TES games. At least I can't remember.

Lorkhan is a demon?! Noo, he is our savior and defender. I guess @Dracane you never collected sky shards as they are parts of Lorkhan body.

Lol! It's the Green Lantern! I played Morrowind, loved it and still hated that armour
Mind you, that's not a comment on the armour in ESO right now I haven't really seen it yet.

Marcus_Thracius

can someone post a pic of the light armor set?

Lightingale

I've been following this thread, but couldn't find images of the light robe even after making my own thread calling for pics of it.

I went ahead and had it crafted from a friend anyway, and the above is the undyed legendary version. I really like it. Posting it here for the other folks like me who were watching this for pics.

The robe also takes on colours much better than the glass heavy armor, which looks washed out (even legate black comes out as gray on the heavy glass stuff)

Can someone post a pic of the sword/shield ?

I have the shield crafted already, if you want to take a look, send me a /tell in-game, @Hyperplexed

Troneon

It looks basic...think I will skip it. I think crafting is dead now cosmetics and costumes are coming to crown store, they can't make good crafting one's because then everyone will not spend $$$$$$$$$$$$$$.

ZigoSid

Ugly + behind a stupid system.

2 weeks needed with 6 characters to finally loot 10 fragments, only to get glass belts ...

Glass Bows actually look pretty awesome and DO have a greenish tint as they should, although it's more obvious in some lighting than others of course.

Glass armor reminds me of "sexy" armor for women.

No confidence whatsoever glass armor and immersion go together.

Prof_Bawbag

Like the glass armour was anything special to look at in previous games. Modded glass armour looked nice in Skyrim, but that was modded. It seems there's a number of people who'll find issue with anything as long as they get to ram it down our throats that they also play normal TES games like that gives them some sort of superiority over the rest of us.

Not saying people can't knock armour, but there's no point making out glass armour has always been superbly fantastic looking compared to what we got this time around.

Xendyn

I like the form and design, really. It's just that Malachite Green that should be there I'm missing.

WolfingHour

The OP was more about then weapons than armor, because it looks bland AND you cant do anything about it, i.e. de them.

Junkogen

Seems to me like they just do quick and cheap nowadays. Mounts are sort of cut and paste and nothing looks all that orginial as far as armor goes.

Anyone have a VR16 bow they could link a picture of? Glass style
