NEW CONTENT IDEA: Unique weapons for dungeons and weapon skins

Pr0Skygon

I mean, why not? We've already cut the boss's head to make a helmet, so why not take their weapons and claims them for ourselves? We've already have often freaky looking (but sometimes actually look quite cool) armor sets, so what about weapons? I mean, isn't this why vDSA and vMA are such popular grinding spots? Players want cool, unique gears, ESPECIALLY WEAPON! We're so lack in that department.
Talking about cool looking, most weapons in ESO look really boring and frankly, kinda the same. Here's another idea: make weapons skin, so we can change the appearance of weapons, please. Make it works just like costume, but for weapons. Weapon skins will (and should) be awesome reward for complete story quests. Also, ZOS, you can actually sell super dope weapon skins in Crown Store for some extra bucks. I know that the weapon models and armor models have quite a lot of differences, but come on, make ESO great again! What do you say?

Turelus

We have "named" boss items, but they use regular styles.

Transmog is coming meaning we can make them anything we want via that system (depending how it works to what skills/costs).

ESO has established that unique looks are reserved for the most special items, which I think they intend to keep going with.

Pr0Skygon

@Turelus I know about the transmog system, and I'm super happy about it. But what I'm suggesting is simply put the sense of unique and monster-ish style from armor sets to weapon sets

Seriously, most mmo powers house has some kind of cool looking weapons, but ESO

They have them for Maelstrom though, but the boss weapons are not that hard to get nor very special in what they do.

Better to save the very special designs for future items like that, where they'd doing much more than others and have to be obtained in a different way than normal gear. Otherwise you make the unique thing less interesting by having too many.

Pr0Skygon

@Turelus That's actually a really good point.

But (most of the time there'll be a but) I do believe that even if ZOS somehow magically have thought of this idea, or have just suddenly read my random post and say "this guy has a point", I still have some wishes to ZOS about how to implement this idea:

1. Please don't block this idea under DLC paywall, just like vMA. Buy DLC and have more content? Sure. Buy DLC to get weapons that can't be found anywhere else? Pay to win.

2. Please don't block this idea under "hardcore" PvE content that requires a full group of actual veteran players to complete (ahem, vet trials, ahem).

3. Please don't make these weapons with super OP stat or proc. I'm totally cool with weird and new ideas for set bonus though . Do not make these weapons a must have for PvPers

4. Please don't make these weapons to be sorely for PvE (Just like trials sets), or PvP (like Battleground sets).

This is exactly the problem. Boss weapons should have unique enchants like vMA weapons(or maybe offer a 3rd set bonus to existing monster sets if you have the weapon as well)

Make every "named" armour drop from a boss have tri-stat enchant.

fix prismatic weapon enchants to be not sucky and have all "named" weapons drop with that.

There, I did it. I made named drops better. I'm awesome. Go me!

But... everyone not a tank or a hybrid will just re-enchant everything?
