Lack Of Changes In The Way Amor Looks As You Level.

Blade_07

I been really disappointed with the way armor looks as you progress in level and felt it was about time I say something about it. Not so bothered with armor from level 1 to 45. But there is no differences in the way Nord armor looks from VR1 to VR12 like there should be(the belt and the feet are not Nord on my 2 characters in the pictures below). Not sure if the other styles of armor are the same but I'm assuming they are. Also, I noticed that the Ancient Elf feet are EXACTLY the same from level 1 all the way up to VR12 & who knows what else is just like that! There should be noticeable differences from VR1 to VR14 armor! But to see VR1 look EXACTLY the same as VR12 armor is really disappointing. I dont have a VR14 character yet but I'm assuming there is no difference between VR12 to VR14 armor?
My way of thinking is that there should be noticeable differences in armor every 5 levels at least and VR armor should be different each level from VR1 to VR14. Dont really have to be huge differences but at least something like some etching, jewels, buttons, or something like that.

Took some screen shots to show ya what I mean. The 1st picture is of my VR1 character



And this one is VR12



And this one is level 1 Ancient Elf feet. Notice in the VR1 and VR12 pictures that the feet are all the same.

Well FYI your links point to the site and not the actual picture you uploaded so you'll have to fix that before anyone can comment.

Or you can embed the full image into the actual post versus just a link we have to follow.

I actually find simple looking armor often the best.

Normal armor changes visually from T1-T4. That's all of the racial motifs. (Altmer, Argonian, Breton, ect.) (This does include Imperial by the way.)

The rare motifs (Ancient Elf, Barbaric, Primal, Daedric and (I think) Dwemer) never change. So level 1 armor is the same as VR12.

The colors change, but if you're springing for a Daedra Heart, you know what your armor will look like.

All weapons change visually from T1 - T4. For clarity, T1 is Iron/Jute/Rawhide, T2 is Steel ect, T3 is Orichalic, T4 is Dwarven ect. After you've gotten to T4, your material won't affect your gear's appearance again.

I always kinda figured it was an intended feature. I mean, it would be pretty terrible if you blew 10 Paladium and got out some really crappy looking armor, when you wanted the Ancient Elf style you'd been seeing on characters.

As the long term endgame? Yeah. If the Vet 1-14 armor continues to exist with Champion Rank thresholds? I mean, that's possible.

I agree should have more layers,fur,more details,But then again armor isnt something that looks good in eso sadly.
Lets hope for a overhaul on armors.
Some armors just look like its painted on and not proper armor
