Future cosmetics for werewolf and warden?

Argonianwerecroc212 · September 2

I was thinking about warden bear being possibly changed to a tiger or crocodile or boar and for werewolf like a strictly cosmetic werebear or werelion form that could be earned through a dungeon or crown store. I feel like it would be nice but how do you guys feel about it?

Argonianwerecroc212 · September 2

Yes add more cosmetics.

Me personally I would love a tiger or lion version of the bear for my warden and for my werewolf character a werebear cosmetic form or werelion but strictly cosmetic

I want a 3 meter tall giraffe as my warden ultimate, and full size molag bal mount that glows in rainbow colors like a disco, so while i ride I can squash other players beneath me in town like beetles.
Also please give the giraffe a swarm of butterflies that fly in its wake that after 3 seconds explode with holy fire of stendarr, and when my molag bal mount jumps I want earth/screen of other players close to me to violently shake.

Cosmetics make money for game, game keep going, fund reworks.

Creation of cosmetics is not a straight acceleration/deacceleration of rework.

Yes add more cosmetics.

yes would be awesome, but i am not expecting it anytime soon.

We will be keeping the Warden's bear, fear not!

And the team has also seen the requests for potentially offering skill styles for the Warden's ultimate to allow for other animals to be used instead of a bear. It is something we are actively discussing, but nothing has been solidified since we have to be very cognizant of animation memory.

Regarding Werewolf:

ZOS_Erin wrote: »

The team wanted to chime in on this conversation with some additional context. For the U50 Werewolf Refresh, we are not considering custom cosmetic markings, adornments, or other such options. However, what is currently in discussion is allowing players to pick their fur colors, regardless of morph choice, using the Skill Style system. The release date for fur color Werewolf skill styles is still TBD as we weigh this effort against other class refresh efforts.

New were-models, other than the female Werewolf, are not currently being discussed. New models require new rigs and animations, all of which have a significant impact on memory and performance.

So ZOS is actively talking about potentially making Feral Guardian model swaps, but not Werewolf Transformation model swaps.

Renato90085 · September 2

but make skin and rework there are two different teams…right??

Anything to get rid of the ridiculous WW mohawk/mullet thing -_-

Yes add more cosmetics.

DKs got Azure reoclors for all skills.
I'm suspecting Wardens will get that ugly orange recolor as well.

The preview already looks promising so I wont be complaining about base skills
That said, I always welcome more ways to express my character

Werewolves still don't have Verdant Green styles for 3 of their Active Abilities (excluding the Ultimate for obvious reasons — no green fur please!) and I would've thought this was less demanding than 6*3=18 styles for each Class.

Omegacron · September 3

Yes add more cosmetics.

The bear is neat, but I would love the option to choose a cat or wolf instead. Then as the years progress, they can release skill styles for those options just like they did for the bear. Being able to pick the tiger, then later make it look like a tiger, a black panther, or a mountain lion would be awesome

Enough cosmetics focus on reworks

It should be all hands on deck for the reworks. The community request hub makes it clear it should be the #1 priority.

ZOS isn't going to drop everything to focus on the refresh efforts, even if several people in the community collectively vote (multiple times per person) in favor of it. If cosmetics pay the bills, then I'd gladly accept more cosmetics being added in tandem with the refresh efforts.

Gagoimaliu · September 4

Yes add more cosmetics.

It's funny that Warden was so Morrowind-coded in aesthetics and then you just have a normal bear as a pet, like if it was a Nix-Hound or something... But yeah, let us have more animals as guardians, a raven, a wolf, something.

Maybe the raven can rest on your shoulder pirate-style while idle, or he can summon a murder of crows at your side?

No, but they absolutely should. The playerbase isn't going to wait around for multiple years for these class revisions. It's simply not reasonable that they take so long for something that the wider playerbase agrees should be a priority.

Conveniently snipped out the part where I say:

Saying "the wider playerbase" when omitting the quoted bit above is certainly a choice.

Yes, the community will still be here multiple years from now. People have complained about balance for years, and we have to realize that PvE/PvP is not all there is to this game. At least ZOS is taking steps in the interim by nerfing all reworked skill lines and class masteries while more skill lines are being reworked.

and forced glowing eyes. Which are so extreme if you pick berserker. I hate that my nightblade is turned into a hazard light enough as it is, why does my werewolf's face need to be one too.

Saying "several people" when the vote is currently 2.1k is certainly a choice.

Not even 2,000 players, </3. Let alone ANYONE can vote regardless of disposition with the game itself. 0.o

Stop badgering this person, they clearly stated what they're referring to and yet you attempt to spiral it further.

Defensive much?

They badgered me, clearly. And with a complete nonsense argument. Where is the evidence that people voted multiple times? Conjecture and speculation is not the basis of a sound line of reasoning. The vote stands at 2.1k and is the TOP voted item. I'd caution not dismissing that out of hand. The wider playerbase absolutely wants this to be a priority. You guys can get defensive about that all you like, it doesn't change the facts.

Cosmetics are a good source of income, like it or not. As a Warden Main, I'd prefer them not to change these, I have skill styles I paid for for all of the above mentioned abilities.

Zenirith · 8:02AM

Yes add more cosmetics.

Instead of an animal, give me a Lurcher version of the warden ultimate. I don't even think they exist as pets...

I might be in the minority, but I want, no, I need more content and putting cosmetics above actually immersive game play seems ridiculous.

It was a binary poll. There wasn't an option for neither.

You're the one that took the 'don't ship cosmetics, ship reworks' vote like:

A) that's how that works

and

B- the premise, a magical and complete focus on non-guaranteed-sale 'reworks', is even possible for a business before putting in the effort to maintain their bottom line in the easiest way possible (non-gameplay affecting cosmetics). This is what funds those reworks that have a questionable return on investment.

(for the record, I want them much sooner too but I don't live in a fantasy land that believes a clearly-struggling-studio should try to 'focus on these reworks' when they need to justify their own existence before the next round of layoffs)

Your opinion means very little here in the grand scheme of things because it isn't rooted in reality.

Edit: whoever made B ) an emoji should have a warm pillow every. single. night.
