    No I am not going to buy it because I don't like the looks of it.
    1. Hood is god awful
    2. Covered thighs; no cape
    3. Male version is sooooo meh.

    2k crowns for this. Looks about as good as regular crafted altmer/bosmer. Hopefully the Breton one dosent disappoint.

    I don't know if I have my Altmer wear it with or without the hood. On one hand, the hood doesn't look so good. On the other hand, I hate looking at my character's hair because it is the wrong color.

    Such a dilemma. I think I'll just give it to my Orc instead.
    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.

    Unfortunately for me, my character's hair clips through the hood, and my character only has shortish hair anyway... Here's the screenshot I took. I also sent in a bug report straight away, so I hope it gets fixed soon. :neutral:

    I like it! But the hood is the worst in the game so I disabled it.

    That is it?

    They could have compromised a bit on the cloak.

    I accidentally got this wisp effect on my character a few nights ago, and I was thinking how relatively easy it would be to just make it brown, set it higher on the torso, and let that simulate moving cloth.

    Make a red wisp for the Nord costume, and a charcoal one for the Breton.

    But seeing as they're probably going to gut the cape and the outer jacket for the Breton, it's not even worth it to me to get these. They're like Chinese bootlegs of the 'real' thing - close but annoyingly off.

    Oh well. I miss you wispy effect...

    I couldn't care less whether it matches the one in the video exactly or is slightly different. But it doesn't suit any of my characters and is very expensive for something I can't customise. Therefore I'm not going to get it.

    I will probably buy one of the bosmer costumes when they come out later this month, again depending on how it looks on my character and the price.

    Sorry, no, too expensive. ZOS's Crown Store pricing policy reminds me of grocery store produce. Stores would rather have their veggies rot on the shelves than sell them at a price everyone can afford. :/

    If I remember correctly the Nord Hero Costume was 2500 Crowns. This Hero Costume is only 2000 Crowns. Looks like they took a bit of a hit on the Nord Hero Costume and adjusted down for this. I suppose there are people that will still feel its overpriced. But at least its not AS expensive as the Nord Costume.

    I picked no, but I'm still on the fence.

    From the trailer to what they are offering is a major disappointment.

    But, at least there's no hip flappies.

    I'll see if it fits my characters shape in the preview, a lot of crown store costumes impose a shape rather than conforming.

    3. 2k crowns is quite reasonable for limited run items

    You really needed a 'I would have bought if it had reflected the one in the trailer but since it doesn't why would I pay a high crown sum to have something that looks meh?'

    You guys really need to up your game on this - I actually don't mind buying fluff like costumes and mounts in the hopes you will reinvest the money wisely in game improvements - but lately you just seem to be phoning it in...

    I don't know. The quality of the costume is a cheap knockoff from the trailer plus most of my time is now in BDO.

    No because I don't want to give them more money.
    I would have preferred an option that says "No, it's way to over-priced". I like the look of the costume but 2000 crowns for 1 costume?!?! Also, recently, those assistants at 5000 crowns each? This is a game and they are vanity items and the costs are absolutely ridiculous!

    I understand it's all optional and vanity but this still shows off the level of greed in your business model and just because of that I won't buy anything and will stop supporting this game financially until this gets toned down. Expensive may get you a few nice big purchases coming in right now but cheaper and more reasonable would mean more people are willing to buy/spend money in this game as they feel they are getting better value for their hard earned money and thus in the long run would be more beneficial for the game and the company.

    As it stands now, seeing the level of greed from you guys I will refuse to spend any more money on anything for this game. I don't own any of the DLC because I took a while away from gaming and just recently came back but I won't even buy those just out of spite. I'll play the normal content with my main and go from there.

    The only difference I see is lack of a torn up cape (lag-inducing and hard to make) and some covered skin on the female. Not enough to raise a big fuss about.

    Left hand should be covered, and the shape of the pouches are different. But yes, the bigger changes are the covered thighs and the lack of a cape (which I don't know why anyone would expect it to have since there are no capes in the game).

    Oh I forgot, the boots are different, too. I still think it looks great by itself, even though it is not the same as the cinematic version. In my opinion, it is a major improvement over what we got with the Nord Hero costume.

    It seems to look pretty good on the screenshots in this thread. People say it looks like regular crafted armor? I don't think so at all. Theres no other armor that looks like that. And this isn't Wow or super cartoony mmo's, we don't need people running around in glowing armor.
