What's up with this costume?

MiliStarling

Typically, all parts of a costume adjust according to the character's appearance slider settings, but this Crown Store purchased costume's hip plates are stuck at max hip size. Regardless of the slider position, the plates remain fixed and floating far off from the body.
C'mon guys, this product costed real money!

Ah good ol' ESO Hip Flaps...

Ha she's Imperial, but incidentally, I did forget to choose a voice the first time I created her, and ended up with a barbaric Orc voice.

Same reason they have a personality score over 25, Ghetto.

Beat me to it. I'd have added "a kind of" though because one should never miss a Queen opportunity.

So if I understood this correctly now one has to set the hip slider to max so the armour will fit, I'll try to remember that.

It's an issue with the basic Imperial motif (and a bunch of the base game motifs, so far as that goes), if I'm remembering correctly.

Its not just that costume. Any large hip piece on many seem to float. My Breton in racial plate has huge ones apparently ready in anticipation for him to sling one into someone's throat.

Maybe this costume is for fat ppl. I think she need to gain weight.

Been feeding her lots of pies and sweets—max carb diet! Guess she's just been burning off too many calories running around Tamriel slaying Daedra...

I'm calling fake. "Hips don't lie" is the saying and your character has none so they must be telling a lie. :P

Okay yeah, he just thought if he could look girly enough, he'd be allowed to play in the brothels for free

Yea their QA department is lacking big time. I still laugh when I put on my Robes of the green or whatever it's called and it adds 75 pounds to my character. I've had that robe for over a year it seems like and every time I put it on to see if it's fixed it's like..damn still look like a homeless friar Tuck!

Here, enjoy the full panoply of distorted female armors and costumes that ZOS is very well aware of, has said they will fix... and never have.

THIS!

I wish I could take the accessories off that costume and just use those.

It looks like I'm smuggling several kilos of moonsugar in that costume.

Or I'm just several pony guars stacked on top of each other inside a giant green sheet.

Take care so you don't get robbed by an Khajiit

It's unfortunate that the powers that be at Zeni have apparently decided to throw all their effort into new things to sell us while never doing the right thing and FIXING all the broken things they've already sold us.

Need a small team to thoroughly and systematically try on every single piece of visually appearing gear, look at it from various angles, and make note of graphical defects.

The fact that the company is leaving this task for players to do is sad;
especially considering how ridiculously difficult it would be for a single player to obtain all seeable gear items, and all appearance items, including those acquired through crown store purchase - even limited time offer items such as the one in my original post.

It would also be quite difficult for players to organize a group effort to accomplish this.
The only thing that makes sense is for the company to pay a handful of employees to sit down and carefully check out the items , one-by-one.

While they may think this will cost them too much, in terms of allocating time and skill, for what it's worth, I'd invite ZOS to consider the results of new players having either looted or crafted graphically bugged gear (several of the early-game gear pieces are glitchy), or having purchased a costume to cover up the typical early-game mismatched gear, only to find little care has been taken to ensure the visual quality of the product.
I can say, if that had been my first impression of ESO, I'd have had little faith in the quality of the overall game, and looked for another more solid product.

The bottom line is, it would not take a skilled team to assess and note these graphical bugs, and would take a skilled team a short time to correct each of them. And this small effort would contribute greatly to presenting new customers with a sound impression of the overall game experience. It would show that the ZOS team loves their product, like a guy polishing his car's rims expresses his love for the car.

I can say that it's not actually nearly as bad as I'd feared from this discussion...admittedly, I chose an odd color scheme, but it doesn't seem to add much of any weight to my character.



not too bad, despite the fact it's not the easiest thing to dye effectively.

So many good motifs destroyed by hip and crotch flaps. Too bad we don't have a toggle for all pcs of gear

Coatmagic

My main is 'hipless' as she is based on one of my actual cats, and there some motifs that clip into her!

Keep playing around with chest motifs til you find a few that fit said chars body and go from there is what I've been doing.

What part of hip *flaps need to conform to the body beneath* the art department does not get, I do not know.

I always wonder what part of, "Light ROBES do not NEED hip flaps, crotch/behind flaps OR weird shoulder pieces AT ALL," they don't understand.

Honestly, if I were a new player looking at this game for the first time now, there's no way I'd play it. The actual gameplay itself is substandard and riddled with problems (hi Cyrodiil), the cost of fluff items is ludicrous, armor design still suffers from all the floaty pieces, RNG in this game is flat out awful, and the inclusion of gamble boxes would mean I would never have installed the game in the first place. On top of that they keep shoving out costumes and pets with terrible distortions and refuse to make available the MANY things players have begged for and that they already have as assets in the game and instead foist off new stuff we never asked for in the first place. Cash shop items remain thin and with little in the way of choices. Nope, not a game I'd be playing if, when I first looked at it, it was in its current form.

What keeps me here? Elder Scrolls setting and the network of other players I've built up over the years to tell cool stories with within that lore. Pretty sad when roleplay is the ONLY reason to log in. And that is true of MOST of the players I know.
