I don't think I'll be buying it.. No torn pieces of cape.. Leg and boots looks different.. I think it'll be a disappointment, just like the Nord hero armor..

Personally I really liked the little bit of skin showing and that's a woman talking. Then, I know it wouldn't be practical in combat for obvious reasons but meh, I still liked it.

Honestly @ParaNostram , I think more often than not it's women that want little bits of skin showing. There's a HUGE difference between a cute and sexy outfit and a sleazy street walker looking outfit.

Then there's a really REALLY small minority that is VERY vocal that just ruins everyone else's fun.

I completely agree, with all the other costumes showing skin, a little bit of thigh isn't really that big of a deal.

Scored the v6 seducer armor this week. To my mind the best looking costume for a female elf in game. Lots of skin showing, tats on arms and a fair bit of ummm chest.

The Bosmer skirts will be replaced with Khakis in the next patch. Zenimax doesn't want Sarkeesian to come after them with her hollow arguments.

Careful. I already made a comment like this and it got removed

Greetings all,

We are glad to see there is an active discussion about the Altmer Hero Costume. However, we would like to request the thread be kept civil and constructive. Let us try to avoid baiting others as baiting is against the Community Rules.

It’s okay and very normal to disagree with others, and even to debate, but provoking conflict, baiting, inciting, mocking, etc. is never acceptable in the official The Elder Scrolls Online community. If you do not have something constructive or meaningful to add to a discussion, we strongly recommend you refrain from posting in that thread, and find another discussion to participate in instead.

Thank you for your understanding.

these are the emotions of weak soft pansy forum users, get over it!

THIS. SO MUCH. The concept art in the trailer looks SOOOO badass. I was so excited when i clicked the link and went to the crown showcase... When i saw that drawing with the male/female model I was like... Really?... I pray the actual costume looks a lot more like the trailer or imma pass... So disappointing.

I'm definitely hitting up the crown store for the new outfits. All my characters are AD as well!? It's a mandatory! I'm so excited, guys! >_<

UrQuan

Not going to lie - I actually like everything shown in this Crown Store Showcase, and I'm considering buying all of it (I doubt that I actually will buy all of it, but each individual item is something that I'm considering buying). I think that's the first time I've ever been able to say that.

So the Altmer hero costume specifically... I like it. No, it's not quite as cool as the actual costume from the cinematics, but there was never any way that it would be exactly the same. From what you can tell in the picture, I think they did a pretty damn good job with it. Of course, how it looks in previews is going to be the deciding factor for me when I decide whether to buy it.

Hey @Elloa any chance you'll do another video with this costume like you did for the Nord hero costume? That was really helpful for me when I was making my decision about whether to buy that one... It showed the costume's good parts and bad parts a lot better than just a preview would have.

I really dont see much difference when I look at the 2 pics. Apart from the 'cape' and covered thighs the costume is almost an exact representation of the art within the limits of the ESO graphics engine. Or did you expect your character to quadruple his/hers poly count and texture fidelity compared to everything else in game, as well as obtain new animations after equipping this costume?

I don't know if Im the odd one out but not only do I think that costume looks spot on but I can't really tell the difference between the trailer and crown store versions minus the pants! Take my money

Same here and they have stated capes wont be in the game so that's why there isn't a cape on it but people don't understand that part.

How about a comment related to the costume? Is it going to look this bad upon release or not?

Give it a special effect (like the yellow glow coming from the palms) and I'd buy it.

The Nord costume should've made you a little bigger (the same size as polymorph Draughr / Xvilikin)

Then you'd be justifying the 2k crowns.

Currently, it looks like any plain old armor...

So it looks bad because the palms dont glow?? It looks almost exactly like the art (provided they avoid clipping and floating). Youve got plenty of glow from skills and spells.

Im going to brush aside the snide sarcasm and point out what I feel is different.

1. Shoulder plates and the armor near the groin seem leathery in comparison to the one in the trailer which are clearly metallic. Maybe its just the colour difference or the lighting im not sure. But I dont fancy how they look. The proportion seems way off too. The shoulder plates look a lot bigger in proportion on the trailer and is much smaller in the female model of the concept art. Im pretty sure if you look at them closely you might notice that these pieces of armor look very different..

2. No I dont want special animations but if thyre going to charge me 2k crowns Id at least expect they do justice to the cape. It dosent need to be overly dramatic. Just a few tatters here and there and id be totally happy. If thyre not going to put capes into the game, this costume looks just about cool as the regular altmer crafted gear. (imo). Im sure some people may feel different. Its just my POV.

3. Covered thighs...... They have no problems releasing prostitute dancer girl costumes but they just had to cover the thighs on this one?

All in all, the one in the concept art just dosen't have the feel of a "hero" to me. And trust me. I full and well know the limits of the ESO graphics engine where they cant even get dye colors on certain armor pieces correctly. Like a pink turns to grey or when green turns to brown. So my expectations are not that high. Currently though, a set of crafted glass/xivkyn armor is arguably a lot more "heroic" or cooler then this lame premium, limited time offer "costume". Its bordering on the quality of the imperial officer costume. You can just craft imperial armor and look exactly the same. The key difference being the imperial officer costs 750 crowns. This though, costs 2k.

I never even seen a single person with the Nord Hero costume, doubt that very many bought it.

Sigh...I bought it. Never gets worn though.

I wear it on a couple of my female characters... which confuses the hell out of players who don't know where it's from.

Ill be looking forward to this. Hopefully it looks a lot better in game then on the artwork.

NovaShadow

I like it.

Granted I'd like the thigh covering to be the same, but that's a tiny thing to nitpick. Just hope it looks this good in game.

Screenshot (or it didn't happen)

EsoRecon

I will still buy it due to it being a limited time offer, but I am disappointed. Mostly in the covered thighs part, I knew the cape wasn't going to happen.

SlayerTheDragon

Those Bosmer legs go from Grahtwood all the way up to Reaper's March

SantieClaws

This one is still wondering why they think khajiit cannot be hero?

This one will consider the matter some more after a nap, some sugar and a few hours of rummaging through the pockets of the hairless ones.

@ZOS_GinaBruno
Tell ZOS that the players want better. Delay the release of this costume and do some of the things people suggested above. Trust me it will make people happy and you will have more people buying it. pls

Love to see a non reskinned guar for once

Yes, put the Dro-M'Athra in its place.

Mettaricana

Biggest difference I see is number of buckles on hip skirt thing there two on each side ingame and three on the hero and different crotch flaps

WhimsyDragon

I'm confused by the disappointed folks... it seriously looks VERY similar to the concept art. I'm excited and hope I don't miss this very brief offering (and no, I don't want to wait for it to come back around again!) I'm also amused by the bosmer-y ensembles

I'll be honest. The things you listed seem rather minor to me. Not something that disqualifies the costume as 'heroic'.
Maybe with the exception of shoulders, as female shoulder armor is in fact often too small which does look pretty awful and could potentially ruin the appearanc. However it's something I'd have to see animated in game to judge.
