SUGGESTION: Customizable/personal polymorphs
Ruinous-Maximus
Soul Shriven
IDEA: Let players create their own polymorphs, unlocked at say 1000 Crowns a piece from Crown Store (like so many costumes and upgrades). That is, let players take a 'snapshot' of their currently worn armor - to wear as a personal polymorph if they happen to create a look they really like, should they decide to change the actual armor pieces later. Each personal polymorph can be reset, but can only contain one snapshot at a time - hence, the more personal polymorphs you want to maintain, the more you would have to unlock (would simply be another menu item under Collections >> Appearance). The personal polymorph would be dyable like regular armor, e.g. via an extra tab after the costume/hat tab - but otherwise identical to the regular armor dye UI. Since the custom polymorph would be utilizing the same code/skin as normal armor, there would be no extra coding or load involved - nor any conflict between the personal polymorph and hats. It would simply be a customizable costume.
MOTIVATION: I really like the more realistic look of a lot of the low level armor - likewise, I often find that some other armor type (light/medium/heavy) has the look I want, e.g. belt buckles, bare feet/sandals, open faced helmets, etc. - but not the protection/skill buffs I need for that toon. In particular, I find a lot of the monster pieces to clash violently with whatever look I'm trying to build. With a personal polymorph, players can create whatever look they like - even from lower level gear, other armor types or pieces of clothing (which currently have no practical use in-game). Simply, put on the gear for the look you want, completely independent of actual gear stats - take your snapshot - bugger off to ESO-land and look exactly as you want.
Since all costumes and polymorphs already completely changes the look of the toon from the gear actually worn, it would make no difference to game-play - but would however create an opportunity for much more creativity and visual styling from the player-side, than currently possible.
Feel free to shower me with vast amounts of Crowns, my own personal dragon mount and a mansion with infinite decos, for this brilliant idea!
