    If I could keep some of the lower level style in the higher level armors I'd be pretty happy.

    For example, I love the lower level Bosmer armor. I mostly love it for it's lack of silly floating hip flaps (tassets) and loin cloth bits. Don't get me wrong, I won't complain about it looking like a Halter top either, I'm a fan of that too. But I'd wear the higher level full coverage medium quite happily if I could be rid of the floating retread tire pieces look.

    I wouldn't complain about a few more revealing options, but just giving us a more mileage with the more attractive styles would be great. As it stands now there is no variation besides color on anything past level 25 or so, which is irrelevant now that we have armor dyes. Armor dyes, btw, make all of the crown costumes pretty lackluster since they are so close to being great, apart from the drab colors on most of them. I have a male character running around in the Crafty Larissa Armor right now for no other reason that it gets rid of the tassets. I certainly don't wear it for the boring grey color.

    But really, why is it such a big deal for people if there are a few items that show some skin (why did we bother with tatoos again?) if it makes players happier with how their character looks? Give us an Almalexia costume, an Aela's Ancient Nord style armor, a Nocturnal costume along with the more conservative stuff. Give us a bare chested Sai Sahon type and a fur bannana hammock like conan and a Xivalai costume, it's all in good fun.

    Nobody is asking to be rid of all the bulky full coverage items for everybody that wants them, but some are demanding that there never be any revealing options for those that want them. Kinda selfish in my opinion.

    Everyone here has said they can have them but they should have lower armour values to show there uselessness.

    Oh, right. You can put enchantments on a robe to make it magically protective.

    Why can't this be done with boob window armor or chainmail bikinis again?
    I am not spending a single penny on the game until changes are made to the game that I want to see.
    1) Remove having to be in a guild to sell items to other players at a kiosk.
    2) Cosmetic modding for armor and clothing.
    3) Difficulty slider.
    4) Fully customizable player housing that isn't tied to anything in the game other than having the correct resources and enough gold to build. Don't tie it to PvP, guild membership, or anything at all. Oh, make it instanced so as not to take up world map space, too. Zeni screwed this one up already.
    Any /one/ of these things implemented would get me spending again, maybe even subbing.

    Fair enough, but a character in the skimpies should in every possible way move at least 100% faster than a character in full tortoise regalia and the heavy armor wearer should swim like a tortoise as well which is to say not at all. Realism in this fantasy setting can be taken to far. I'll take the reduced armor value and you can drown in anything over your head and be able to sprint about 25 meters before collapsing. Seems legit.

    Not sure how much worse you could make light armor, BTW. Since 1.6 it offers almost no physical protection.

    Your argument seems to be that skimpier = less armor.

    If I put the Dark Seducer costume on, is my heavy armor suddenly less armor than before? No.

    lol, now that would definitely be an interesting sight.

    I guess I could've just as easily said "wedding dress", which is also pretty feminine and still provides the exact same amount of armor as the heavy armor you're hiding when you put it on.

    PS) Dark Seducer isn't from cash shop, though. : )

    Ohh I didn't know you could get costumes outside of the cash shop sorry.

    There's not much I can say though costumes are a wild card because if you looked at it from a reality point of view. Trying to put on the dark seducers consume over plate armour would result in what I originally thought you meant lol.

    MornaBaine wrote: »
    Heavy armor needs to LOOK like armor...meaning it needs to provide coverage. Medium armor, consisting mostly of leather, could easily go either way, depending on where/when it's being worn. More "tribal" looking styles originating in temperate to hot climes might indeed be rather revealing. So a range of looks is needed there. Light "armor" on the other hand are typically mage robes made of CLOTH. They are not typically INTENDED to protect PHYSICALLY against damage (and indeed are pretty terrible for that unless augmented by magic) so there is really no requirement for "coverage" making them all look like nun's habits. A wide range of looks from full coverage to scanty IS called for there.
    Yes. This post gets all of my "agrees". Quite right @MornaBaine, quite right.

    The armor we currently have is flattering, but sometimes we want something a little more grandoise, a little more flashy. Add a few flower patterns, spiky armor and such. I can think of plenty of ways to make girly heavy armor- ornate patterning/carvings in the metal, belts with more elegant designs, jewlerry you can actually see, nymph and tribal style costumes. Why not sell pattern/skin packs that you can apply to armor the same way you do dyes? Something as small as that can completely change a look.

    I agree,I mean the armor in the game isnt detailed or unique at all :/ wish we could have something with all kinds of accessoaries in them,More detailed armors like in the cinematic trailers
    Yeah, I always find myself a little put down when the necklaces and rings aren't visible. A bone or even flower necklace would be nice, same goes for belts and gloves. The gloves can look well rather plain, and just having some extra detail could easily spruce em up.

    I really would love to see textures and patterns added in though, either bought at the crown store, or unlocked with more achievements. Say a 'battered texture' for your armors if you get defeated several times, a 'polished shine' if you go so long without getting killed. People love collecting dyes, and this could be expanded into not just extra detailing but unique visible accessories :)

    That's one thing I have noticed the art style in realistic looking MMO's always tends to look bland when it comes to armour. Where as more cartoonie MMO's like WoW have some amazing fugly armour sets.
    There, fixed that for you :D

    Seriously, the look of the armour sets in WoW and other cartoony MMOs is one of the major reasons why I could never bring myself to play any of them. Horrible, just horrible.

    My wife asked me to write to you.

    As women in general, love to dress up. They like the beautiful feminine clothes. This is same in the game.
    Argonian Cloth Lvl1 armor or the Dark Seducer costume is feminine armor.
    It was pretty much the lineup the rest of armors is not feminine.

    Of course this is a subjective opinion with a woman eye.

    i was hoping ESO Nexus community would make better armor textures as mods and if ZOS would allow it

    So you mean female armor like this
    armor_small_by_chaosringen-d73llq1.jpg


    Or female armor like this
    18j116ovm16n5jpg.jpg

    Yes I know option 2 is little "graphic" but this game is rated M for a reason.

    The first one is simply not interesting.

    There's nothing particularly graphic about the second one. She's rather covered up. It's her body language and posture that is suggestive.

    It's an interesting high fantasy image of a classic elf myth bewitcher. There's a story in that image. It's not a come hither story. It's a come hither....at your peril. For it to work it has to be provocative. It's not art - it falls apart with the tiger - but it's not artless either.

    That elf has victims. And she has power. The image makes that clear. It's power you can understand as opposed to magic alone which a weak plot device.

    My problem with ESO is that the same scenario is enacted several times in the quests. Yet when we meet these seducers it's impossible to understand why this guy left his wife or that guy fell under her spell. Women too are seduced. Sometimes by other women (e.g. Little Leaf) and sometimes by unseen men who we read about in the victim's journals.

    Nereids are supposed to have that power but with their drugged out expressions and atrophied legs they're anything but physically seductive.

    WhattheHeck_zpse7424064.png

    And the Dark Seducers are reduced to somewhat attractive NPCs you usually just kill who have a few provocative lines here and there, such as The Library of Dusk. The only one you have a conversation with is this gal at Sanguine's Demise. Not what you'd call seductive much less a seducer.

    Trilvath_zpse0615fcc.png

    No, if you wish to establish a tasteless extreme you'd have to go with Fully Tank's Paladin.

    Or, for games, something like this.....

    I for one would like macho and pretty armor to appear. I don't mean boobs and butts huggers- just flattering, and decorated armor, for both sexes.

    The armor we currently have is flattering, but sometimes we want something a little more grandoise, a little more flashy. Add a few flower patterns, spiky armor and such. I can think of plenty of ways to make girly heavy armor- ornate patterning/carvings in the metal, belts with more elegant designs, jewlerry you can actually see, nymph and tribal style costumes. Why not sell pattern/skin packs that you can apply to armor the same way you do dyes? Something as small as that can completely change a look. I like how so many people in this thread immediately assumed OP was demanding cleavage windows and lingerie... :D

    I agree,I mean the armor in the game isnt detailed or unique at all :/ wish we could have something with all kinds of accessoaries in them,More detailed armors like in the cinematic trailers
    Yeah, I always find myself a little put down when the necklaces and rings aren't visible. A bone or even flower necklace would be nice, same goes for belts and gloves. The gloves can look well rather plain, and just having some extra detail could easily spruce em up.

    I really would love to see textures and patterns added in though, either bought at the crown store, or unlocked with more achievements. Say a 'battered texture' for your armors if you get defeated several times, a 'polished shine' if you go so long without getting killed. People love collecting dyes, and this could be expanded into not just extra detailing but unique visible accessories :)

    That's one thing I have noticed the art style in realistic looking MMO's always tends to look bland when it comes to armour. Where as more cartoonie MMO's like WoW have some amazing fugly armour sets.
    There, fixed that for you :D

    Seriously, the look of the armour sets in WoW and other cartoony MMOs is one of the major reasons why I could never bring myself to play any of them. Horrible, just horrible.

    Amazingly hideous, yes... I'm not sure it would be possible for me to hate any armour more than monstrosities like those.

    No, if you wish to establish a tasteless extreme you'd have to go with Fully Tank's Paladin.

    Or, for games, something like this.....

    @bellanca6561n I wouldn't say it's impossible to understand re: the quests with the slatterns and the seducers. I think it depends on the person.

    I think if we're trying to understand it through as a player on Earth and not a character from Nirn, it may be tougher to fill in the gaps. Like take a quest where we're taking an enemy's head as proof we slew them. As a player, I don't get to see the details. Envisioning this from my character's point of view? I probably didn't kill the opponent with a decapitation, so I'm severing its head after the battle, packaging it in some layers of cloth, feeling it bob around in one of my bags against my rations, reaching the individual who wanted to see the head as proof, unveiling it, and saying, "Here take this head, I don't want to carry it anymore." And what's individual going to do with the head after I hand it over? Mount it on a pike somewhere?

    Or say another individual who may not appreciate the aesthetics of what pixels, polygons, drawn, painted, or animated figures may be trying to convey. They may not admit that any character in any game or animation is visually attractive, but another may see what was trying to be conveyed and can imagine the scenario through a character's eyes in a different way.

    That what we see in our T-rated or even M-rated versions of the game is not what the character's are experiencing.

    Adding more costumes would make more sense. They shouldn't be adding new racial styles just to get more impractical armor in the game, but costumes can be all kinds of fun.

    Omg, I would farm motifs infinitely or shell out however many crowns necessary for armor like this. ^^ Love the way there is an obvious chest space, but it's not the ridiculous defined "cups". It looks more like the way an actual shirt looks in RL. Love the accents, the details, it's feminine, but not slutty (which is the word I think the OP was really looking for - based on the image examples he linked). Only issue I would have is with the heeled boots - fighting and running around in high heels - please no. But, I would take heels any day over slutty revealing armor.

    People keep bringing up all the mods available for Skyrim as if that is some kind of valid argument for ZoS to make this slutty armor. But I think it's a rather faulty argument - those are MODS - they were not made by the maker of the game (afaik). The makers have created a game where slutty armor is not part of this world. It wasn't a part of the maker's creation in Skyrim either. People don't want slutty armor b/c it's not part of what these games are. But even moreso than that...

    I think the real issue is that these requests are almost always targeted at female characters. It hits on a much deeper issue - men wanting to objectify women. I know it is not the case 100% of the time, but this is really why you have so many people (a lot of whom are women) so vehemently opposed to it. Maybe it wasn't such a big deal in the past because there were less women playing games. Maybe back in the 90's that ghastly Arena cover that has been linked so many times would be ok. I wonder the ratio of male/female players in those games back then versus today. But as gaming has become more mainstream and attracted a larger female audience, there is a much larger resistance to the p*rn armor, and for good reason. Sorry guys, but this is no longer a man's world. To all those guys who keep arguing "but I play a female character and I want to [be turned on when I] look at her"...tough sh*t. There are plenty of other outlets where you can get your T & A fix - by yourself, where the rest of the world doesn't have to see it also. Unless of course you'd like to see male characters also running around in speedos and codpieces... but I don't see too many requests here for that.
