    @k9mouse What are you talking about, bear mounts have been in the lore since like 2009.

    All: when will we see the new hairstyles. I mean, they're nice because they're new (who doesn't like change?), but they're not that special... I thought the one's we've seen would be out with the dlc and we'd see new designs in the months to come. It seems like we're not getting any new hairstyles this month and they're going to release maybe two at a time (from the ones we've seen) over the course of the year...lame.

    "Much has been made of our Queen’s adventures in Tamriel by bards and common broadsheet scribes. Yes, it’s true that she once rode a bear. That she hunted the frost trolls of Skyrim, delved into the depths of a Dwarven ruin, and crewed with a pirate captain of Cyrodiil." - The Rise Of Queen Ayrenn

    "The Rageclaws have domesticated a breed of stout, battle-ready ursines. These bears are trained from an early age, bound to a specific clansman or clan family. A matriarchal society, this clan imitates their animal companions in many ways." - Clans Of The Reach

    "A Nordic hunter and a 'City Orc' both stood about a table quarreling with one another about whether or not the Orcs of the West truly road great, woolly caterpillar-like beasts as steeds. The local orc proclaimed that his stronghold-dwelling cousins have used the unique beasts for generations, as they allegedly 'were useful for navigating the rocky crags and slopes of The Reach and Wrothgar '. My kinsman disagreed vehemently with the pigman's assertions and demanded that he get his thick skull checked, naturally. According to the hunter the only unique mounts he had seen the wild Orcs ride in the western mountains were bears, not furred caterpillars." - Loremaster's Archive, April 9, 2015

    Thanks for the info. The books that are made by Bethesda do carry more weight lore wise than the books by ZOS for ESO.

    Not really. Both sources are completely canon and are 100% accurate lore. You can choose to disbelieve, but I will guess confidently that Bethesda Game Studio feels that way about the lore in ESO.

    No new hairstyles and not the bodymarkings I wanted.. Booo! Guess I'll wait until the next patch before creating my new character. In the meantime I'll continue with my Dishonored playthrough in preparation for Dishonored 2.

    Just so you are aware, when the new hairstyles and bodymarkings are out you can change them whenever you want in your collectibles menu. So if you create a character now, you'll be able to swap hairstyle and/or bodymarking later on once they are out.

    Yeah, but I'm difficult.. I want them naaaow D,:

    The hair is a possibility. But I can't make my mind accept that swapping out a tattoo is as simple as that, and I want a tattoo from the get-go. Since it's hard to know when the new ones will show up. It could be 1 month, 2 months, 6 months, a year. It's impossible to guess.

    Thank god I purchased the ashlander and ordinator packs this past week, I didn't even know they were going to be removed. They are removing two of the better outfit sets in order to make room for some lame stuff. the ashlander and ordinator sets were two of the more interesting race themed sets. How about some dunmer bonemold armor from skyrim if you must remove all the dunmer outfits....at least then your circulating something fresh into the mix.

    How about they just releases the Dumenr COSTUMES they showed us the concept art for AGES AGO???? You know darn well these costumes are already made and done. You know, THESE:

    Yes, I know it's all mostly datamined stuff. But the POINT is that you've had this stuff done and READY TO GO for AGES. Stop holding out on us. STOP putting out one thing a month if we're lucky. Step up your release schedule. MOST of this is WAY OVERDUE.

    So, there's my feedback. Pretty sure I'm not alone!

    I think this one is going to be a special Witches Festival costume. It is called "Grim Harlequin".
    Just so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair. About a dozen of Altmer NPCs in the game have black hair. Just saying.

    Meet my characters:
    Command: Do the thing.

    Zadarri, Khajiit Fist of Thalmor: The thing was done, as commanded.
    Durza gra-Maghul, Orc blacksmith: The thing was done perfectly, in the most efficient way.
    Tegwen, Bosmer troublemaker: You can't prove I didn't do the thing.
    Sings-Many-Songs, Argonian fisher: Sure, I'll do the thing... Eventually. Maybe.
    Aerindel, Altmer stormcaller: After extensive research, I've come to the conclusion that doing the thing would be a waste of resources.
    Liliel, Dunmer pyromancer: Aerindel said I shouldn't do the thing. Something about "resources".
    Gyda Snowcaller, Nord cryomancer: I will find a way to do it that won't waste resources and make Aerindel proud of me.
    Beatrice Leoriane, Breton vampire: I persuaded someone else into doing the thing. You are welcome, dear.
    Sahima, Redguard performer: Doing the thing sounds awfully unpleasant and really not my problem.
    Ellaria Valerius, Imperial priestess: I'll pray to the Eight for the thing to be done, if it is Their will.

    That is a light armor chest piece of the Celestial style. It is what the Mage Celestial wears in the Aetherian Archives trial, and you can wear it too if you acquired the Aether set from AA/HRC. However, as of this patch, Aether will no longer drop from the newly-revamped AA/HRC, as it has been replaced in the loot table by Infallible Aether (which is in the Yokudan style).

    Luckily, I do have a full set of Aether still sitting on a mule, so I can still wear that if I want to RP as the Mage Celestial. :D

    If you pay 1000 for the hair bundle, you can change your hair whenever you like. It is a one-time purchase and you get access to all of the base hair styles (base = the ones in character creator, no new ones). It is not 1000 per hair-cut; it is 1000 for changing as many times as you want.

    Alternatively, you can wait for new hair styles to be released, as their starting price will be 200 per, and see if you like any of them.

    You don't have to buy an appearance change token for changing your hair.

    God, yes. You'd get my money within seconds if those were released, ZOS... and were actually given the quality treatment the product and customers deserve.

    The hairstyle pack goes to your 'collections' tab, which is account wide so you can use it on all your characters- just like with costume purchases.

    And on the subject of past items being offered again, I do believe that this should be an option. When one group of players has gear that cannot be obtained by newer players it creates a cosmetic caste system. The older players may appreciate that, but it is demoralizing to the new customers.

    My solution would be to offer everything that has been sold before for one week, or even just weekend, of the year. Perhaps on the game's anniversary.

    There are a few items I missed that I would certainly buy if given the chance.

    Something I hope you will think about.
