Do you like the Opal style variants of undaunted gear?

FelisCatus

I personally don't care for them as they just look odd and out of place.

DenverRalphy

Just my opinion, but the poll needs a third option.

I like some of them. It depends on which piece and which set.

spartaxoxo

No

I said no because I like dislike most, but there are some I like. I agree an unbiased poll needed more options.

Yes, I like them.
I like some of them.
No, I don't like them.

No

The Opal Chokethorn greatsword style is okay, but the rest of them are pretty hideous in my opinion. I normally like more subdued styles.

Syldras

Many of them don't even look like opal. The Engine Guardian staff looks totally like dyed bismuth, actually - which fits the brass/Dwemer style even better, and which is a reason I used that style for a while. But others? Not so far, and I somehow doubt that I ever will.

N00BxV1

No

Can't dye the Opal styles. So, no I don't like them.

tomofhyrule

No

The Opal styles are the one set I don’t bother to collect. Ugh, hate that color scheme.

Now I do love me some arms packs, but I could do without everything Opal. That’s ok, it’s not for me and it makes it less stressful.

But pls ZOS release the arms packs we still haven’t got

TaSheen

No

Stuff like this is just not anything I'm interested in.

Punches_Below_Belt

No

For a while they were incredibly expensive which I found hilarious because no one uses them. Even just after an undaunted event, there would be no one using them but you could sell them for tens of thousands of gold.

It was a key observation for me about the absurdity of the FOMO economy.

Mascen

Generally speaking 98% no

theres like one or two pieces where that opal color scheme works like the illambris sword or the velidreth staff.

Bigger problem is why does ZOS always seem to chose the weapon sets that most people dont like the originals of?

Like IMO if they had decided to go with the Encratis' Behemoth set, Molag Kena, or even Shadowrend, it would be waaaay more popular.

Destai

No

No, I tend to like more natural looking styles than something ostentatious like those. It’s fine if they keep releasing them, I am sure some people like them.

WitchyKiki

Yes

Looks weird, but glows. I like anything shiny.

DreamyLu

Can't vote, because me too, I like some of them, but not the whole set. As a matter of fact, it's the same by all sets: I never like the whole set.

colossalvoids

No

It's a crown store item preview in a sense, nothing to like there really.

Sarannah

No

Big no! They do not even fit in with my characters who wear purple gear/outfits.

alpha_synuclein

Yes

I liked selling them when they were still pricey

Also, I do like the coloring and opal-ish effect, but as the styles are now, I don't have much use for them.

Reasons being:
1. I don't use helmets. I spend quite a lot of time on my characters faces, I don't want to cover them.
2. I don't use shoulders. Most styles are way too bulky for the outfits I like.
3. I keep most of my weapons at the style of the set I'm using. Just as an extra visual indicator that my sets swap correctly in trials.
4. As someone already mentioned, the opal treatment is being applied to the styles that are not very attractive. Especially in comparison to some of the newer ones.

I would like to be able to unlock opal dye and apply it to armor or weapons of my choosing.

Blood_again

I often choose opals like one of the option while outfitting my alts. Especially staves.
In the end I've chosen other styles, the dyeble ones. So it looks like opals are not the best for me. But they are viable options, they are good enough.

Danikat

I like some of them. I don't like the new ones currently on the Impressario because I think the blue looks out of place with the base style and they should have chosen something more in keeping with the original to make them 'fancy' versions, instead of slapping on the same effect they always use. But on some of the older ones where it fits with the original design it looks good.

FayJolyn

No

I usually don't like them as they don't match well with most of the dyes, however the newest opal style Earthgore doesn't look all too bad. I might use it on my sorc.

M_Volsung

Yes

I just need the opal Engine Guardian shoulder and I'll have the whole set..

Unfortunately I don't have enough keys and the gold cost would crater my bank account.

VDoom1

No

Nope. I never have.

They seem really flashy and just really out of place. It's very difficult to get them to work with any outfit.

LesserCircle

No

No, they're ugly, they don't fit any kind of gear, they can't be dyed.

Mik195

Yes

I like shiny glowy things, but I don't think I've ever actually used any, but like clicking on them when trying out styles.

cyclonus11

No

I might if there was a full suit of opal armor out there to go with it. Otherwise it just clashes with everything.

kojou

Yes

Some I like better than others, but I am ok with it in general being in the game. You never know when a weapon of that style and color will fit with a character design.

Aurielle

I like the particle effects, but not being able to dye the weapons themselves ruins them for me. I’ve tried to make them work with some outfits, but always end up switching to something else.

Icy_Waffles

No

They look like the off brand version of the real thing to me. Just not my thing- I collect most cosmetic type things but these I avoid lol

Necrotech_Master

No

a couple of them are OK, but i prefer the non-opal variants better

big reasons i dont like them is mostly the color scheme on many of them, and the lack of ability to be dyed

sunsrest

No

took a quick look yesterday, not really, none of the opal styles really fit with the outfit styles/colors I'm wearing

Bradyfjord

Yes

I particularly like Opal Ilambris.

katanagirl1

The Engine Guardian staff looks really cool, like it has a spinning electrified wheel on the end of it, nice visual effect.

The Iceheart staff looks great and doubles as a dim torch in dark areas.

I use both of these on my characters but don’t really care for the other weapons or armor.
