Costume customization

Captainfez3
Hello,

I recently bought the Ordinator pack from the Crown store and I really enjoy it. As a Dark Elf, having a thematic look while leveling makes the game more enjoyable for me and it makes me feel a little better about wearing light armor ha ha. I am very grateful that I can hide my helmet when wearing the costume, as I do not enjoy helms typically, however I was a little disheartened when I found I could not dye the armor I was wearing.

I was just curious to know if the dev team ever considered making costumes and other vanity gear from the crown store customizable? Since helms can be hidden, the costume functions like a regular set of armor I assume. It would be great if we could have a second tab for invisible gear and then have our costume pieces be equipment we can slot there. If our "transmog" set has an empty space, whatever native gear we have on would be visible. We could also take any piece of gear and essentially overwrite whatever we are wearing.

So basically, its like Rift Wars transmog. They have a pretty robust offering of outfits and vanity gear as well too. Hopefully a system such as this would allow us to make use of all our hard earned dyes as well. The only drawback I can see is that it seems some of the outfits and costumes that are offered are simply recolors of gear that exist in the costume pack. I know by doing this you might somewhat cheapen the value of the costume pack, but I honestly don't care. Having access to the look is worth the price to me; I just want to be able to make it my own.

If anyone likes this idea, I'd appreciate feedback or support!

    IMO, the whole cosmetic system need a revamp. I'd pay $30 for a cosmetic revamp DLC. A cosmetic slot for each pieces of gear, dye-able store cosmetic and disguise...

    Lets hope if there is a thread like this every week they'd consider to make it sometime.

    PS: and customise mount cosmetic too.

    Really for as long as the game has been out I'm surprised this hasn't been something they've moved towards. Granted I understand that in ESO specifically you end up crafting most of your gear so you can directly choose what look you want, but you can have more robust choices through transmog.

    Transmog stuff is also perfect for cash shops. Just look at the popularity of skins in games like LoL and consider that people who play MMOs get more attached to their specific characters. It seems like a no-brainer!
