How can they just ignore the "style" from the swords and make them look just like every other sword/greatsword?! I'm actually surprised at my level of disappointment at this. It's such a small thing and yet again they fail on it. I'm getting tired of ZOS messing up the little things in this game.
I was looking forward to this motif the most, specifically for the sword style so I can match it up with the rest of the Akaviri armour. But now that's not possible and needless to say my motivation to get this motif just significantly dropped.
I may be mistaken, but I think I've already seen that light armor head piece prior to this motif. I still think it looks cool though. I do however agree with @Riko_Futatabi the swords feels kinda out of place.

Staves, Maces, Light Hood... that's really all I find really nice atm. Those AP prices are not entirely worth it, that's forcing people away from the new content meanwhile many of us are constantly in Cyrodiil when there is no new content! SMH
Still, I like how they made the Ancient Orc and Mercenary drops work and I'm glad I don't have to keep doing pointless Writs when my main crafter does not need them.
I can sense this will be the one added to the Crown store if only one of the 3 new motifs get added there.
I made the set armor just now on the pts to see what it would look like on my woodelf vamp dk
I spent 3.5 million ap and then realized i was a few goldscale short to make the sword, and i could not use the 1.8 million ap i have on my dc char due to campain restrictions lol
anyway, i made heavy armor chest and legs and the rest light, used a deadric sword to fill in for the missing sword:
Beesting, Bosmer Magica DK, AD EU, crafter
Slager, Dunmer Magica DK, DC EU, pvp
Farmer, Dunmer Magica DK, AD EU, trials build
Every major patch looks like the end of the world but somehow i just cannot stop playing.
