Just got my glass sword and it looks grey, not green at all.
So disappointed.

Is that a gear quality issue? I remember the glass portions of the Ancient Elf weapons start out as a dull grey and upgrade to a nice vibrant green at Epic.

Nope, it is legendary.

Equipment colors have been a mess ever since beta. Frankly, they should have never changed with upgrade/level, IMO. When you craft a piece of Daedric gear, you expect it to be black and red, no matter what level or upgrade it's at.

Dyes are a different matter, but just the base item should always look the same. And it should look good.

One thing for sure, if the improved armor looks anything like the staff, I have no intention of making any until ZOS fixes the improvements on the glass armor. That looks terrible.

NDwarf

That staff looks like a generic level 5 tutorial island quest reward weapon, not legendary at all.

@OP different strokes I guess I think the staff looks awesome and the other pics I've seen have been pretty sharp as well.

I'm not touching the new Imperial City wouldn't buy the DLC but I'm subbed. Not planning on paying the prices for the glass crafters either but I still like it.

Congrats on finding the staves chapter even if you don't like it. It's my understanding they are pretty rare.

And the form looks cool. But.... WHAT DID YOU DO ZENIMAX ! If the ancient founders of this style would know about this.... their graves would explode.
When I received it, it was unimproved and looked so epic. Like glass should look like.

But as I improved it, it began to look uglier and uglier. Now finally on legendary (golden), it's merely an ugly grey. Yes, it still looks pretty amazing. But
the color is dissapointing. What does this have to do with glass anymore ? I'm not putting so much effort into getting something, if the final result has nothing to do with glass anymore.
I expect the average vulcanic green glass color. But NOT this ! :





Please, for the love of Auri-El and the founders of this style and the effort people put into it: Fix this. Give it what we expect from it : GLASS LOOK.

EDIT: Only the staff is glass style.

I agree that, that staff isnt that great looking but remember that is just that staff. Ive seen some people with Glass Armor heavy Armor chests pieces and I thought they looked really cool.

Because armor, unlike weapon can be dyed.

Anyone got any pics of ...er..not weapons ..I mean the rest of the stuff. I'd like to see more before I judge (admittedly the weapon is a little..er..anti- climactic )

Remember the Amber armour in shivering Isles ? I was so excited and ended up looking like a hornet Perhaps it's just a texture thing..like others have said- ancient elf has some glass looking bits..

I currently have 2 out of 100 fragments...so it will be 3 years before I cam craft all glass

The armor has the same color sadly. But you can dye it at least and can imitate the green glass look a bit.

Hmmm...let's hope they forgot to add the "shiny" texture. Or I might have to agree with @FriedEggSandwich on the pewter motif

I have 1 fragment and it's yours if you want it. There you go, 3 out of 100. You're nearly there!

@Alucardo that's very generous of you. Woo! Only 97% to go...nearly at the finish line

I actually like the grey color. >_>

Oh.

Well... um... there goes that gear chase.

They really did mess up on this. Glass armor is green and shiny from what I remember in skyrim. ZM should clean the style up a bit!

LiquidZ

Yeahhh. The armor doesn't look horrible but it doesn't look like glass armor. Am also still a player of Morrowind and will never forget the way glass armor is supposed to look. Also. Those new suit costumes. Look like you took them straight out of a Korean grinder. aka. ArcheAge.

SkinnyDG

Lmao. Worse armor/weapon designers ever! I'm not supporting zos' poor poor poor decisions by buying the dlc. In fact, I haven't played for 4 days and well...I don't think I'll start again.

Dracane

Glass armor is ugly dark grey, just like the staff.
I've tried to imitate the natural glass look by dyeing the armor. I think it looks very nice (only helmet and cuirass are glass)

UltimaJoe777

Get creative with Dye colors to make it look more like true glass, at least in color lol

Dracane

I've had many people in game starring at me all the time and whispering me how cool it looks. But EACH of them also said, that they dislike the color of the staff. It looks unfinished and somehow wrong.

Alcast

It looks like they forgot to add a Greenish color to all the Glass weapons. Here a Glass 1H Mace. This looks more like a "Frost-whitish/silver" to me

And I have to correct what I've said. Glass armor is never green. Not on white and not on gold.
Here the natural color of legendary glass armor. No comment

I know what I'm about to say is weird... I know this... But your character has some very pretty feet, for them to be barefoot in a non-modern world. >_>

Hahaha uhm thank you I guess ? It's because only my helmet and cuirass are glass at the moment and people keep on getting confused, so I took the rest off.

Why does it look golden on the screenshot ? It is not golden, it's just grey in reality. Must be a reflection.
And right, this person must be insane.

Probably the same guy that designed the horses with "chicken legs"

I believe this is concept art from 2014. What happened, this actually looks cool.

They look like the glass weapons from Skyrim. If I am not mistaken, they ARE the glass weapons from Skyrim.

I agree... What happened?

You're mistaken. Those are ESO's take, which is suspiciously similar to Skyrim's in most cases. But the Staff, Mace, and Maul are the biggest tells.

Of course, in game, they're never green... because that makes sense somehow.

Yeah.. I just compared them and there are tiny differences. Strange though how they went from that concept to what they ended up doing. I thought Bethesda gave them access to the assets. Or maybe they decided to just be different.

To be fair, none of the gear has looked the same between any two Elder Scrolls games (not counting Daggerfall and Battlespire). So, it would be more than a little strange if the glass actually matched Skyrim's. Actually at launch the glass weapon option was Ancient Elf, which looked a lot like Morrowind Glass weapons.

However, the Glass being this close to Skyrim's is pretty weird.

Hopefully someone asks for the next ESO Live. I would love to hear their reasoning about the choice they made with glass.


ETA: I just looked back at the picture of the dyed glass armor. The ability to dye it is probably the reason why it doesn't look green. So now we need the same for weapons.
