Nope I'm not a sheep. I don't follow everyone else and try and be like everyone else. FOTM is so boring. It's rather annoying seeing everyone trying to be like each other.

lol someone who uses FOTM when talking about cosmetic item should no even have forum invitation lool

Funny people complain about an ICONIC costume costing 2000 Crown when mounts- which are just reskins- cost 2500 Crown and there were fewer complaints about that; especially considering a mount isn't used/seen nearly as often as a costume. I had no problems spending 2000 Crown on the costume, even though I most likely won't use it very often, but I have also spent the 2500 Crown before on limited availability mounts.

I think ZOS wanted to make the costume appeal to fewer people because it is an iconic costume, which is meant to be more appealing to collectors and die-hard ESO fans than every single player- which is also why they had such a limited time for availability. If ZOS made the costume in order to make money, they would have made it a permanent addition to the store, but instead, made it extremely limited in availability. So it seems, ZOS values these iconic costumes more than they care about making money off of them.

It was either the costume or the upcoming camel mount.

Please. no contest.

The costume, even on my built for it nord, is missing the essence of what was in the super-cut video. It really does need the banner off the pauldrons, the color is off, the battle scarring is absent and the armor proportions are off. I really would love to have had the hair and beard of the hero. Sadly, I have been hoping for it from day one and was disappointed. Overpriced or not if it was any where near what it should/could have been I would not have thought twice about buying it. I might pick it up if it is discounted down the line or re-offered with improved visuals for full price.

If they improve the visuals, they will improve them for all of the costumes, not just newly bought ones.

Cazzy · February 2016

I hope the sales of the costume speak for itself when the next two are released

Lazrael · February 2016

I'd love to, but I just can't justify that cost. Ridiculous. Makes me sad.

LiquidSchwartz · February 2016

it wasnt worth more than 500 crowns lol

yes because i'm a complete and utter idiot

Tdroid · February 2016

I did. I had some spare crowns from my ESO Pluss days and I do really like the general appearance of the armor(clipping issue on the back aside).

Have to disagree. Even us "die hard" fans have our limits or have to live on a budget.

Hope499 · February 2016

Out of sheer principle, I would not buy it, even if I like it.

That much for a COSTUME? Just because its a Skyrim reference??

Beyond pathetic.

Actually, no. The hero is an Altmer, therefore that's the "Altmer Hero costume".

As for the characters represented on that art, if that's what you are referring to, it is hard to tell because of the style. The eyes do not look meri at all (but then again, neither did the eyes of the actress that played the Altmer in the cinematics), but the male's face is much closer to an Altmer than to a Bosmer. If I could see the ear tips I could tell for sure, but from what I can see of the male's ears, they look like the female's ears, and the male Bosmeri ears are much different from the female Bosmeri ears, while the male Altmeri ears are very similar to the female Altmeri ears.

Edit: Doesn't mean it won't look absolutely amazing on my Bosmer.

It's a reference to the cinematic trailers. Skyrim didn't have this armor.

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.

Since when do artists care about money?- PR types do, bean counters do, but not artists.

Sharee · February 2016

No - but then it has nothing to do with the costume not being pretty enough or it's cost - i simply do not buy anything from the store except game expansions as a matter of principle.

DanielMaxwell · February 2016

I bought it because it looks good on one of my female characters , but on my male main character the plates on the hips have about a 6-7 inch space between them and the characters hips . so your mileage will vary on the purchase .

and yes the price was a bit to high , would have preferred this costume was closer to 1k crowns , but it is one that I wanted for my characters to be able to wear .

KatzMainTank · February 2016

I liked the idea of the Hero costumes, but I couldn't justify getting it so I did not.

Lysette · February 2016

This is the artwork of that Altmer armor, now compare this to the models - it says all.

KallistaBlackheart · February 2016

i did not purchase it. not because of cost, although i am currently out of crowns, but because it did not suit any of my played toons. as i am not a mus collect everything type of person i took one look at it on my tons and immediately decided against it. as to the cost. well if this is what all of their costumes were priced at i would be up in arms. but as it was the cost of a limited edition one and i assume they do not want everyone to run around with it, it sort of makes sense.

jaggedhbb16_ESO · February 2016

I would have if I had had the money at the time.
It was too expensive for too short a time.
If it were available now, I would get it.

Strider_Roshin · February 2016

Hahaha! No.

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?

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

It isnt even armor,and no motifs look like it ingame.It's just a cover up for armor,and even the Nord armor doesnt have that helmet.However,I didnt buy it,as I saw it ingame and it didnt seem to work that well.
