Who created this horribly designed costume? Will we get a refund? Can we talk about the headpiece for a second? The hair/feathers is like something out of the movie Hairspray.. IT DOESN'T MOVE! It looks like something sticky your cat threw up and you decided to place it on top of the headpiece.
Zenimax really need to look into hiring new artists capable of designing Crown Store items that works and looks good. I suggest you look up Gnomom School of Visual Effects in LA. We eat designers like yours for breakfast.
1200 Crowns for this costume. That's $14.99. The costume really should be 500 Crowns. You can't charge for something thinking your product is Louis Vuitton, when it really is H&M quality.
EDIT: If you can't add movement to certain things such as costumes/headpieces/hairstyles, then don't add those styles at all if you know they won't look good or look natural. I expected the headpiece to atleast move like the ingame ponytails does.
EDIT 2: It's apparently supposed to be feathers.. Like where did your staff get their animation degree from? For rrrrreals

I bought it, I think it's pretty awesome. About time we get some better male costumes. I knew full well from PTS that I would NEVER wear it with the helmet, without the helmet it ROCKS. Besides that, they've already said they cannot create 'moving' animations because of the game engine, which is why we don't have cloaks and capes.CP: 1965 ** ESO+ Gold Road ** ~~ Stamina Arcanist ~~ Magicka Warden ~~ Magicka Templar ~~ ***** Strictly a solo PvE quester *****19 -

This. I might get it, I need to preview it on a few characters to see what it looks like, but I am damn sure not going to wear that crazy helmet with it.@wayfarerx - PC / North America / Aldmeri Dominion1 -

Funny, because YOU seem to be the only one complaining... and FYI, the 'hair' is actually supposed to be feathers.. and I don't know if you've seen any feathered headdresses, but guess what, they DON'T move. So don't blame ZOS for YOU having unrealistic expectations and something that was clearly not meant to be what YOU expected.Edited by ADarklore on August 25, 2016 5:02PMCP: 1965 ** ESO+ Gold Road ** ~~ Stamina Arcanist ~~ Magicka Warden ~~ Magicka Templar ~~ ***** Strictly a solo PvE quester *****5 -

Feathers? Where?? Maybe you should take a good look at the costume. Nothing on there is supposed to be feathers nor is anything on there close to look like feathers. It's hair.#VMATOKENSYSTEM #WEAPONDYE #TRAITCHANGE #CROWNCRATELOVER- Alliance/Platform: Aldemerii - PS4/NA - CP 800+

I'm pretty sure the armor flaps that people so despise have movement.

I don't wear the helmet, it's ugly as sin... but based upon the advertising photos, they're clearly feathers. Of course, wouldn't be the first time ZOS went with a 'bait and switch' in how advertising photos didn't match the actual costume.Edited by ADarklore on August 25, 2016 5:15PMCP: 1965 ** ESO+ Gold Road ** ~~ Stamina Arcanist ~~ Magicka Warden ~~ Magicka Templar ~~ ***** Strictly a solo PvE quester *****2 -

The only time I see armor flaps move is when I am running and stop, otherwise I never see them move. But what we're talking about is individual movement, 'flowing' capes and 'moving' hair would mean individual movements that are impossible to add... according to ZOS.CP: 1965 ** ESO+ Gold Road ** ~~ Stamina Arcanist ~~ Magicka Warden ~~ Magicka Templar ~~ ***** Strictly a solo PvE quester *****1 -

Then again, you need to check how it looks ingame. Nothing close to looking like feathers as you say it looked from photos. And if they advertised it looking like feathers, it would be false marketing.

It's not hair, those are indeed feathers like @ADarklore said.
Here, taken on the PTS:
I'm not buying this on live because it doesn't really suit any of my characters, but I think it is a pretty good costume overall.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:SpoilerCommand: 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.9 -

Are they trolling us? 1500 crowns for THAT? If you want a primal/primitive look, the Primal or Barbaric motifs do the job, and they'll only cost you 3000+ gold...4 -

On console you can't get THAT close. It still looks terrible. A dead unmoving bird on top of your head. If you dye it black as they advertised it looks nothing like feathers.

WhoThenNow7✭✭✭Refund for what? Any time I have ever "previewed" a costume on a character, it has always looked exactly the way it did in the preview. I can partly understand the whole hair moving issue... But to make a whole thread with a page full of rant? Seems pretty pointless in my opinion.7
