False Advertising (Imperial Edition)

Alucardo

I bought the Imperial Edition because I thought being able to change the style of my gear would be awesome. I also LOVED the look of the heavy Imperial chest piece, so this was an easy choice. Sadly it rarely works. It works fine on the gear you craft yourself, BUT WHY WOULDN'T I JUST CRAFT IT IN IMPERIAL TO BEGIN WITH DURRRR.
Anyway, with One Tamriel we gained a lot of new sets, so crafted sets don't suit my purposes at all anymore. I tried upgrading my Plague Doctor to Imperial, and guess what?



Yeah, no option to convert it. Now I'm cool with not being able to convert the undaunted pieces, and I never expected that to work. But why can't I change a simple Breton style (Plague Doctor) into Imperial?



Maybe change the wording a little. "Allows you to convert SOME of your gear to the Imperial Style.".

Can we please get this fixed? I'm on the verge of tears here.

Thank you.

Asgari

I agree. This has bugged me so much. I hate how a lot of the dropped armor sets look and id love to change a few of my armors to imperial because it would look better than what the dropped style is.

Could you maybe deconstruct it and then remake it in your preferred style if you don't like the style it dropped as?

you cant craft a dropped set.

Nestor

I think you have to take the armor off before you can change it. Have you tried that?

And, certain dropped set items can not be changed. It used to be just a few things, but lately, there are more and more of the new motifs that don't have a transform.

Tryxus

So my Dark Elf Tryxus has to wear those filthy Argonian style Robes of Mother's Sorrow instead of converting them to Imperial? Unacceptable!!!!!!!!!

It's simply misleading. I agree.

one reason I can think of, that you wouldn't craft in imperial, if you have an imperial char, is, a shortage of nickel mats...another is that your imperial isn't leveled sufficiently in the particular crafting skill, but that your alt who is a skilled crafter is not an imperial...

Ohh!! That stinks. They should allow that in the future

I appreciate you trying to help, but the option to convert a style to Imperial has nothing to do with crafting and what mats you have.

There's a few questionable listings on the crown store. With both the banker and vendor assistants being 2 of them. Nowhere does it list what services you actually get or more to the point, what services you don't get. You have to go trawling through the net for that information. I wonder how many people bought the vendor thinking they'd be able to repair their items or use the banker for guild stores. Not saying those features should have been included, I'm saying it should be made clear that they aren't included. We shouldn't need to second guess what the items we're buying entail.

Oh man, I nearly bought the merchant because I thought I could repair. Fortunately someone in my group had one and I got to try it out. Thank god I never purchased it.

Prof_Bawbag

I'd buy the vendor in a heartbeat if it could repair and like yourself, I nearly did until i used someone else's. The banker, i bought and must admit I don't know how I managed to ever play this game without a mobile banker. I use him a lot and have well and truly had my 5000 crowns worth. He's a God send for my in-progress crafter. Doesn't excuse the lack of information in the listing though.

TheShadowScout

I would think they best throw away the "convert into imperial" function altogether as being near-useless, and give everyone who reachers master crafter levels access to a proper gear style transmogrification system.

Only way to be sure.

NewBlacksmurf

I'll join in on this too.

Very bothered as well and there's no reason why this wouldn't convert that I'm aware of other than someone just not programming as allowed

Runs

Please note that not all items are convertible and once an item has been converted, it cannot be reverted to its original style.

From this support page. That should really be added to the description in the crown store...

Caligamy_ESO

You think this is annoying? My first in-game purchase was Any Race, Any Alliance so I could play in DC areas as a Khajiit. I refuse to PVP once I've unlocked my vigor, warhorn, and caltrops so it was a waste of money for me now that One Tamriel has made it pointless. But it is definitely a little shortsighted that they would just omit all of the new dropped sets from the convert to imperial function.

Yeah it really should. The support page is the one you find AFTER you realise you can't convert your gear xD

Not trying to be difficult but it never occurred to me that it was referring to anything but crafted gear.

It never said "crafted" sets only, so I assumed it was most things. It works on Shield Breaker, so I kind of expected it to work on these new dropped sets which are just basic racial styles.
It's just very inconsistent, which is a huge problem.

I think he was just answering the question "BUT WHY WOULDN'T I JUST CRAFT IT IN IMPERIAL TO BEGIN WITH DURRRR."

From memory i think just owning the Imperial edition you can craft imperial on any race? but say you don't have the style material you can make it as any other thing and convert it later.

Having said that though, it really should just be possible to convert all items to ANY style you have unlocked. Just look so stupid wearing mis-matching pieces.

But hey! at least all jewelry it seems can be converted... for no apparent reason.

The problem is, dropped sets are way more productive for my tank. So I can't really craft anything without actually hindering myself. I need to be able to use the conversion tool I paid for.
I'm not one to usually say things like "I want what I paid for", but in this instance, I actually do. I'm also not going to demand refunds or kick up too much of a stink, but it would be really nice if they looked at getting the conversion to be more consistent. It SHOULD work on dropped sets with basic racial styles, like Viper (Argonian), Plague Doctor (Breton), Ysgramor (Nord), etc.

James-Wayne

Yep agreed, false advertising get it fixed!

WhiteCoatSyndrome

I would also like to chime in and agree this is annoying. As-is if I want to use a dropped set I have to hunt for a specific piece that matches my desired look AND a specific trait; I became a crafter to avoid this sort of hassle.

Actually you'd also think this opened up crafting Imperial on any race if you owned both the Imperial update and any race bonuses BUT that's also not how this works.

Essentially the only thing you get worth a damn is a mount at launch. Now that's worthless

So as results:
-most gear we wear we cannot change
-the ring of Mara is one time use (another gripe I have)
-it doesn't unlock the Imperial crafting, unless you're an Imperial


So $15 for nothing but a mount and access to be an Imperial kinda...if you didn't grab this at launch but the ring of Mara was an issue at launch.

Yea i really wanted to convert my hideous spriggans gear from the wood elf style to imperial!

Shortage of the Nickel Trait????? I have over 300 of them ..... They are out there, you just need to loot them .....

And yet they have the gall to charge $40 a pop for them. LOL

Cathexis

I agree, I hate running around in styles that are bugged, poorly animated, or just not my style.

As for crafting it in that style to begin with, converting to imperial gives you a nice fall back when you're crafted style doesnt work out.

Thank you.

know the struggle, hated all the argionian style crap from the DLC dungeons but they were upgrades at the time, couldn't change them tho

sirston

the imperials and pvp are linked together like the red headed kid in the family, they get hated for no reason from the parents. Zos hates both pvp and imperials
