Waiting for the Altmer one.

hm, the artistic version of it, which I use as my current wallpaper on the gaming-PC, that artwork with the real actress in it, looks far better, has no hood but a cloak instead and is dark-leather-brown, not black. I am not excited about what I see in that picture of yours, but I would want that nice looking art version which I see every day on my PC-desktop - with a cloak, not hooded. What is the point of having hairstyles, when most costumes come with a hood or helmet?-

Imperial City - - - - - 2,500 crowns
Orsinium - - - - - - - - 3,000 crowns
Thieve's Guild - - - - - 2,000 crowns

...... Nord Hero costume --> 2,000 crowns

Wanna play a DLC with a new awesome zone, storyline, stealing-quest stystem, passive skill line, delves, world bosses, 12-MAN TRIAL, many new sets, and more... or get this costume that only looks vaguely okay on tall, buff, bearded Nords?

I did buy it kind of impulsively because I have a lot of crowns. A bit of buyers remorse because I'd rather have made a statement by keeping them.

I think they were using this price to test the waters and I didn't help by buying it.

Or buy both ... purchasing one does not mean that you cannot purchase the other.

Solid_Metal

nope, not even worth it lol

if they made it as motif i probably will buy it, but still highly unlikely not

czar

i don't understand why people complain about the nord hero costume when there's motifs for sale in the crown store that cost 5000 crows.. and you can find those in-game, or even buy them for in-game gold. not to mention that the limited senche's and the bear cost more than 2000 crowns, and they're purely cosmetic too. what's the fuss?

Yes ,one is good.

I'm now waiting for this one. :}

Recremen

Wasn't something I wanted on any of my characters, so I skipped this time around. Looks like a fair few folks are enjoying it, though!

pirate3

No, I didn't even like the look of it on my massive Nord dk. I've probably been spoiled by all those awesome Skyrim armour mods, but it just looks bland and unfinished. It needs fur and damage and detail! I know it's a costume, but it shouldn't look like my character is off to a costume party.

Thevampirenight

I had the crowns so I did but yeah they should have made it just 1500 crowns or even 1000 crowns not 2000 crowns, but at least I own it.

Drunk_coler

Yes, I bought it because I loved the armour in the video and the picture looked ok. In game its very bland i'm hoping its fixed in the future so I got it now. I've seen better versions of it alot closer to the trailer on the nexus for skyrim so I dont understand how the actual devs made it so bad.

Taz

The armor is too bulky for my tastes, I'm more of a rogue kind of gal. I don't think I'll be buying any of the hero armors though; don't like Altmer, and the Breton one... well... suppose it depends on how it looks in-game, but from the screenshot I think I prefer other rogue-y costumes. Plus dat price.

RDMyers65b14_ESO

I never cared for the look of that costume.

Now, IF (and that is a big if) the Breton costume looks good...

Cazzy

I know this sounds pessimistic but the track record Zeni have with costumes isn't fantastic. I don't have high hopes for the more sought after outfits

It's actually quite the opposite. From most anecdotal evidence the majority of people didn't purchase the Nord costume, which makes you the sheep.

So @vyrusb23 ... to NOT be "sheep"... and to go against the herd... to be different... we need to buy a costume that makes us look like all the other people that bought the costume?

Sounds to me like there is a wild and wonderful plethora of animals out there all playing to their own beat and expressing their own individuality.Then just some of them go off to be the same... and follow a pattern and do as the others do. These do as they are expected without question and go where they are told.

Just because there are MORE animals that choose NOT to follow the expectations and be the same as others doesn't mean that those are the sheep. Sheep status isn't earned by numbers... sheep status is earned by behavior.

Follow the expectation of buying whatever twaddle ZOS puts in the crownstore for whatever price they ask for it. Flow through the gate of consumerism when they're opened every month and you get the notice when you log into ESO. Put on your new shiny costume that will make you look like all those that have done the same as you and be content that you, and all those who are doing the same as you... are NOT the sheep. You're the rebel... You're unique... You are your own person who can't be lead or coerced into following the pattern of expectations that has been laid before you

I'll just Bahh and not buy the $20 same-as-you costume.

kevlarto_ESO

Not because of the price, several of my friends bought it, I just don't collect things like that.

plautsethub17_ESO

Yes, because I am a huge fan of everything Nord, and I don't know if/when this will be available again.

because the motif are optainable in the game by effort. sure people can pay for them but we WANT them to pay top dollar. if they don't the P2W road is near. we don't wan't to go that road.
and the only way to get the armor is paying for it forgot to add ;P

I don't think anyone is a "sheep" for buying or not buying the Nord costume. I'm merely pointing out the glaring hypocrisy evident in his post. He wants to be different. Like all the other different people. He wants to assert his individualtiy along with others, who are different like him. So, just like all of the different people, he chose not to purchase the Nord costume. He behaved just like all of the different people.

Seriously, if you want to get into semantics, people who wear the Nord costume are not the same. They have different names. They have different classes. They have different power tray setups. They have different gear.

Nobody is a "sheep." Including you.

Snowstrider

I only got it becouse i already had 2000 crowns stored. Got eso+

About costumes. Would be nice if we could buy a single piece of costumes i mean id yiu only like the helmet on this one yiu should be able to only buy the helmet and so on. That would be amazing if you could mix and match different costume sets to make your character more unique instead of looking like everybody else who got the same costume.

Also being able to dye them to make it more unique. But I guess zos wont do that becouse they would make less money and they would need to put more effort into the costumes instead of releasing the same costumes with different skin over again.

And to be honest I rather have a transmog or appearance slot system like gw2 over this but I guess then they would have to put effort into costumes Even more and make them different then things yiu can find in game...

Its sad that its all about money really

nimander99

I bought it not paying attention to the price... had a bunch of crowns just assumed it would be anywhere from 700 to 1300 crowns. I learned in another post in the forums that I had paid 2000 Crowns for it... and to say I was shocked was an understatement.

I'll be paying a lot more attention to the prices of the items I'm buying from now on.

IMHO 2000 Crowns for a costume is not only asinine but its bending your player base over, so to speak. I mean c'mon! Thieves Guild DLC will be 2000 Crowns. If I were one of the devs who made Thieves guild and found out another department that just skinned costumes was charging as much for the work I and hundreds of others put into it, I'd be... miffed.

ContraTempo

It's got to be frustrating for the DLC teams to see some guy with an art program pump out a new costume set in a week and price it the same as their DLC. And GET that much for it. As a programmer I would be SO frustrated at that.

And I take the exact opposite opinion. EVERYONE is a sheep. Including me. It's one of those situations where knowing you are a thing doesn't mean you can not be that thing.

Oh... and I'll probably end up buying the Daggerfall costume when that comes out. That looks kinda awesome. Hypocrite much? You know it baby!

Too expensive for a costume.

... And that's fine. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. If you choose to identify yourself as a "sheep", so be it. If you choose to identify yourself as a hypocrite, I have no problem with that.

For AJ_1988 to accuse anyone who buys the Nord costume of being "sheep", while beating his chest about how different he is, and how unique and "against the grain" he is for NOT buying the Nord costume (which most of the ESO population did not purchase) is hypocritical (a generally negative trait) and duplicitous.

Can I be a black sheep?
