Costumes in cyrodiil. A plea.

Potenza

I disagree, I am a pvp'er and like using my costume and don't care if other players wear costumes. I mean really, you cant tell a DK from a Sorc? what armor they are wearing doesnt matter - always asume they are wearing the best. L2P

If this game had proper PVP, all dresses/disguises need to be disabled, but of course PVP is quite a fail so who cares

Frankly, the immersion issue here should be sufficient to make costumes more restricted in pvp. In pve I can opt to just ignore and stay away from people running around in weddingdresses or jokersuits (and I imagine it will be quite a few of those running around). In pvp you cant ignore people in the same manner because youre actually fighting against them. This is still a TES game, immersion is more a focus here then a simple "coolfactor".

I do believe that ZOS does care about immersion for this game. If anything removing more visuals from PvP is more likely... seeing as how they've not addressed the lag for a long time now and have resorted to removing torch bugs and deer among other bandaids.

Lore and immersion are BOTH tertiary to gameplay and monetization.

Correction: Lore, immersion and gameplay are all secondary to monetization.

I fully agree with op. Having people PvPing in wedding dresses or whatever is just going to make the game even less immersive. If the pvp game turns into red vs blue vs yellow with "funny" hats and costumes it's going to be pretty silly.

Maybe the best compromise would be a costumes /off /on option or something.

Where have you been since launch? This is the way of PvP

If you want to run around Cyrodil and draw attention to yourself because you don't get enough at home then by all means wear the bright white dress proudly. You just make it easier to focus on you....that is what you want right?

I think its kinda cool seeing a group of skeletons swarm area from afar, or even goblins. They don't look ridiculous atleast.

If people want to wear costumes or colourful armour, they have the right to do so. Simply because you don't want to see the variety in style preference, doesn't mean costumes should be disabled. Your excuse that it breaks immersion is priceless. In a multiplayer game, you don't get to decide how other people choose to dress their characters.

^^^ This.

Really, what gives? Immersion? Read the other thread where people are screaming for boob armor and then talk about immersion. Meh. There's little immersion in a game where you can kill a skeever with a giant magical stone fist.

I do not want any restrictions. I only PvP, if ZoS keeps their word and the cash shop remains cosmetics only, then they will not get any money from me if i cannot even wear these new costumes in Cyrodiil where i spend all of my time.

When I wear the white dress, it won't be a wedding dress, it will be the glamorous white nightgown I was wearing when I was seductively bitten by the tall, dark, and handsome vampire while slumbering in my boudoir. I should be able to wear it when looking for victims in Cyrodiil.

Because all three factions and all players have the ability to wear costumes, having them in pvp doesn't really hurt anything.

That being said... I wonder if costumes can contribute to lag? I'm not saying it does so don't troll me, but I think part of the reason costumes are disabled in pvp on some mmos is lag related.

The whole argument is stupid. Screams pathetic pvper.
Anyone can wear heavy, medium or light, anyone can use any weapon. If you want to figure out your opponent, watch them. Simple.
See what class abilities they use. Look at their play style.
You can sneak and do this, or use some skill and observe and judge on the go.
Costumes don't make a huge difference. In fact, once you figure out who is in the costume, it just makes them an easy target.
Easier to avoid or attack.

Like I said, pretty pathetic if costumes affect your pvp capabilities.

I have no issues with this. I do wear a costume on one of my characters while in Cyrodiil already. The others I do not... however with all of these new choices that we will be presented with --- that could change.

Stop trying to take options away from people. Maybe IF anything, have an option not to see costumes while in Cyrodiil only --- but if we want to see them then leave that be as I don't mind. I think it will add some spunk to zerg vs zerg battles. LOL

Well, we have people running around as a Skeleton, as a Vampire or WW and now people realize that such things break immersion, just because the Skeleton is now Wedding Dress?

If you put costumes, twilight stuff etc. into the game then you cant restrict its use to people, especially since the costumes are paid for. Sure especially younger people will choose that stuff, maybe in Trials, Cyrodil or in towns - but this is just how it is.

Whenever I saw a Vampire running around in the sunlight I was shocked, but this is how the game was made with "immersion breaking things".

Sure it would be nicer to not see anything of that, but its in the game since Beta and people didn't seem to care, just now that its in the shop a big "no" is coming up. To me this seems more like a "I don't want to buy it, so nobody should wear it to not make me jealous" thing.

Patch them all out or let them all in, simply as that. The immersion is gone already, too many illogical things exist.
