"Fixed an issue where certain high-level swords crafted in the Outlaw style had the incorrect visual. This will affect previously crafted swords, which will now appear in the correct Outlaw style."

So what about players who created gear based on how the style looked before this patch?

Can I please get my 24 Tempering Alloy back?

BTW at current prices that would be at least 170k gold wasted because of your bug.

    I rarely gold items as it cost to much to do consistently.
    Now, my question is what exactly did the sword(s) look like prior to and after this change. (I assume you made several swords as 24 alloys is only possible if you don't spec into crafting, in which case is beyond stupid to do considering the cost.)

    Can't remember what metal this is, might be voidstone, but this is what my sword looked like pre-patch.

    I decomped it because it was a test sword and i didnt like it :lol:

    Don't have a screenshot, but I found this on eso fashion.

    The current one in game looks the imperial sword with a different hilt.

    Here's what the greatsword used to look like. If they change the look of swords that have already been crafted, that's just inconsiderate and justifies a refund.

    You know, I made the gs and a 1 h sword. I'm betting the gs had the correct skin and now the 1h sword will look similar.

    Another great reason for them to add restyling in the near future. Bugs like this are apparently setting some people back by a considerable amount of resources.

    WHAT!!! I knew it couldn't be Outlaw (immediately knew it was Dark Brotherhood based on concept art we have of it) but just changing the look like that is so unfair for people who crafted in the new style.

    HOW do you even make this mistake? You need to literally equip any sword from the signature motif Outlaw of this DLC (or look at the icon) to see this mistake.

    Look at the swords! Obvious mistake on ZOS's part, but does it justify them just changing these? Sounds a little messed up to me. I was about two days off from crafting two legendary swords in this style, and will now use another motif.

    Outlaw Swords do not look bad, but Dark Brotherhood is very cool.

    Well I'm not a fan of the change... Just made a couple legendary swords last weekend after buying the outlaw motif because I specifically likes the look of the swords. Well I'll still use them it's irritating because the old ones looked good with polymorph. Thanks zose. Brilliant fix. Glad you're focused on really important stuff like messing with the look of people's gear.

    @ZOS_GinaBruno In the future, could we please get crafting-related goods on PTS templates? Or add all the motifs to the PTS Crown Store? While I do like that this bug was fixed, it would've caused fewer problems for everyone if it had been caught on the PTS.

    But problems like this are never caught on the PTS because nobody is going to spend hours and hours on the PTS farming for the motifs just to test it. When there's something new like this, please give us a way to test it and catch such problems before it goes live!

    I ALMOST made this sword Sunday, BUT... I had a feeling this way going to happen.

    So glad I didn't I will either wait for DB ( joke I can't wait that long for new swords ) or I will just make Akaviri 1h

    I am glad they fixed it as what is the compromise? When DB swords come out patch that to the incorrect one... this is the logical fix :yum:

    Made two of these last week when i finished the motif - didn't really care for them to be honest.

    Hopefully the new ones match the rest of the set a bit better.

    In saying that all i want is for my V16 swords to have a shiny steel blade rather than something that looks like its made of toffee!

    IMO, they should have waited to fix this when they released the DB style. Then, they could convert all previously crafted Outlaw swords to the DB style while making swords crafted after the patch look the right way.
    Just so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair. About a dozen of Altmer NPCs in the game have black hair. Just saying.

    Meet my characters:
    Command: Do the thing.

    Zadarri, Khajiit Fist of Thalmor: The thing was done, as commanded.
    Durza gra-Maghul, Orc blacksmith: The thing was done perfectly, in the most efficient way.
    Tegwen, Bosmer troublemaker: You can't prove I didn't do the thing.
    Sings-Many-Songs, Argonian fisher: Sure, I'll do the thing... Eventually. Maybe.
    Aerindel, Altmer stormcaller: After extensive research, I've come to the conclusion that doing the thing would be a waste of resources.
    Liliel, Dunmer pyromancer: Aerindel said I shouldn't do the thing. Something about "resources".
    Gyda Snowcaller, Nord cryomancer: I will find a way to do it that won't waste resources and make Aerindel proud of me.
    Beatrice Leoriane, Breton vampire: I persuaded someone else into doing the thing. You are welcome, dear.
    Sahima, Redguard performer: Doing the thing sounds awfully unpleasant and really not my problem.
    Ellaria Valerius, Imperial priestess: I'll pray to the Eight for the thing to be done, if it is Their will.

    The new swords look much better then the old ones imo, had the old style on my DK for a few weeks, logged in after last patch and was pleasantly surprised on how they look. I just couldnt get into those other ones, I only made them to match the gear set since is was all outlaw.

    No, it was correct all along. Only the 1h version was incorrect and changed.

    I would literally use any and all things as leverage to have style change. I feel with all the motif's and options in the game now, it's just time. Also, you chumps loling with your "serves you right, you knew it was wrong" comments are hilarious. Nobody really thought about it being wrong until after they made and it and that reddit post and subsequent post on these forums linking it showed up.
