The Drabification of ESO
Nycthemeral
Soul Shriven
As of patch 1.1 all pieces of low level gear (1-35) appear to have been made less attractive. Metallic tints and touches have been completely removed, even from "ornate" items. Colors are drab and less varied than pre-patch.
As someone who has put days into finding, crafting, storing - even naming! - custom sets of gear I can tell you this is extremely disappointing. Dozens of slots in my bank have remained reserved for items that are special to me chiefly because of how they look. With patch 1.1 every one of these has shifted to a less appealing texture. My custom sets look mismatched and none of the gear I can now make or find looks any good.
ZOS, you've given us the opportunity to deeply customize our character's appearance. From the creation menu on, the cosmetic aspects of our characters are deeply connected to us as players. Why would you suddenly change the entire set of textures for gear without any warning?
I understand that a tint system is in the works, but why not give us the ability to enhance already good looking gear? Why reduce the personal value of commodities already in the hands of your subscribers?
