The hilarity of cosmetic DLC marketing strategy kills me.

No offense to anyone that does buy some of this stuff, your money, spend it how you will. I just find it funny. I really do.

Gidorick · January 2016

Looks great! Would totally buy it if it were a motif.

MikeB · January 2016

Yep, no matter how much you shine it, a turds still a turd.

Pangnirtung · January 2016

It's all a matter of opinion and taste.

Even if it was free I wouldn't have it.

khele23eb17_ESO · January 2016

The video doesnt show it very well but that belt/corset makes almost every character's midriff look awkward/bloated when looked at from behind (which is how youll be looking at your char most of the time).

Artjuh90 · January 2016

it's the price that's making me not wanting to buy it. 2k crowns is utter ripoff.
and the female one is ugly

Don't forget that awesome clipping

Wow, I really hope Zenimax paid you to do that for them.

I just......

if there's ever a day they release the Breton assassin's armor, that will be the day. I don't even care if it becomes a matter of walking into the mall with everyone wearing the same shirt. I would STILL do it. It would be a shut up and take my money. No armor in the game even mildly touches the badass level of badassitude of the Breton assassin's armor.

I mean *** no armors in the game have trench coats. It's all like...either robes or short jackets.
I know everyone is gonna pull out Edna Mode and say "No capes -A-"

But I want capes D':

imagine if you could have a cape with your guild symbol on it. Or imperial symbol. Or faction symbol. or some sort of race design. >___>;; It could be cool!!

BATMAN HAS A CAPE. It's automatically cool.

Forget about the cape. They will never do it

Gonna pass and wait for the Breton Hero costume.

It CANNOT disappoint

Cazzy · January 2016

I love your videos, Elloa. I just can't justify the price.

wanna bet?

hammayolettuce · January 2016

I really hope the DC one isn't as low res and plain as this one. Especially for 2k crowns.

Errybody wanna look like breton batman. They'd be losing out on so much easy money if they eff it up.

If they release the breton assassin they have to release capes. He has a cape. CAPES >___>;; It could be a thing!
I wouldn't even care if you had to BUY a cape from the crown store and it didn't add stats or anything and was purely cosmetic.

Can't give up! Never surrender!

It's something cosmetic, useless, but quite cool and rare. The occasion for Zenimax to make some money. I'm fine with that.

I'm suscriber, I almost never purchase crowns. But I save them for special stuff so I can make videos about it. I think it's okay to charge a lot for those costume. Beside, Blizzard would charge the same prise if not more. Tera Online would be cheaper, but you could only keep the costume for one month.
We need to face the truth. Cash shop are made so the players can support the game while purchasing for themselves something fancy or usefull. And as long as it's not P2W items or unfair trade, I don't mind it to be expensive. Better to have a costume overpriced than a DLC.

Xantaria · January 2016

Do you work for Zenimax?

As someone who is playing SWTOR right now I can support these costumes and prices on ESO. At least we know what we're getting for the money spent rather than RNG boxes where you might if you're lucky get something good.

As Elloa said, end of the day they need to make money for the game to survive and even with the complaints received every time a new item is released (we literally get threads with every new item) people buy them. The only way ZOS will ever change their price scheme is if something bombs out fully and doesn't sell.

Pay to win is a no-no. But theres one more deal breaker for me when it comes to cash shops - when devs deliberately make earning rewards in game unneccessarily annoying/time consuming just to make people buy them from the CS. It is not the case with the costume but ZoS is guilty of this with a few items.

As for the video its pretty cool as promotional material. Wish you didnt avoid shots from the back which show how awkward/chubby the belt makes most characters look.

Chelos · January 2016

You may say what you like about the costumes, they still cost the same as the new DLC.
That's just wrong

RinaldoGandolphi · January 2016

I really hope ZOS is paying you well for posting this.......

Alucardo · January 2016

OMG lol I lost it in the beginning of the video when it zoomed up on his face. 10/10 for comedy value

Ravereth · January 2016

I'm not interested in any shopping and renewing subscription until ZOS cope with the servers issues and many bugs in the game that players reported many times.

anitajoneb17_ESO · January 2016

Very nicely edited video, as always.

Alucardo · January 2016

Man, I wish I had have watched Elloa's version before basing my decision on Jeff the Nord's

sadownik · January 2016

Can someone of those people that like the costume explain to me whats so good about? To me it seems another T-shirt amour.

BreacaT · January 2016

I think it's perfectly priced.

Hopefully, that will help make it a little bit more unique in the world, and so it should be. I think there should be more premium items like this.

After purchasing a new pet/outfit or whatever, the last thing I really want to see is every other player sporting the same pet/outfit. IRL not everybody likes the same things or can afford the same things, so why should this be any different, and then there are those haters who just hate for the sake of it or because their 'pockets aren't so deep'.

Ultimately, it doesn't suit my templar character, but I might get it for a future alt using the ESO plus crowns I've accumulated.

Oh, and nice video.
