About the new style change system

Let me see if I understand correctly...

With the Restyle System, we can create free "Costumes" from the known Motifs, it is? Literally, free Costumes? Unexpected!
Is there a limit to how many Costumes I can create? (Double for ESO+ again?)

I expected something else... Soon I will be editing with "what I expect".

If that’s actually the case, it’d be cool if we could take parts from costumes we own and merge them with motif parts.

I want to transmog a piece to a specific piece.

costume dying for an "armor set" never looks right.

I think clarification may be needed for those of us who cannot read Russian or programming language. I was under the impression the new transmog system would allow us to change armor from one to style to another.

Ex: Sunderflame can be changed from Daedric style to Orc style, provided you know the style motif.

At least this was my understanding from the limited amount of info out there.

No, we have no idea how it's going to work. Datamining is first and foremost not indicative of things that will be added to the game, things may change significantly or dropped entirely, like those horse racing blurbs from two years ago.

Second, the datamined code mentions nothing about motifs whatsoever. Does pretty much everyone want motifs to be the primary unlock method for visual styles? You betcha! But the code very clearly suggests that they're using Style Stones in whatever build of the system this is. We don't even know if that's some new item or just the generic name for the existing racial style stones.

Third, it is not clear that this is a "costume-making" system, though at least for this there is some indication of, at the very least, having named outfits. But will these be added to the Costumes tab of the existing Collections system? Or some new tab? Will we have to go through the laborious process of creating and deleting costume presets every time we want to change things up, or is this merely showing that we'll have a handful of quick outfits for our favorites in addition to a less-clunky, more general-purpose system? We really can't say, especially because, again, this is all just datamined code and not necessarily even close to what the final product will be.

Now I don't want to totally rain on the parade. After all, we are definitely getting a "transmog" system at some point, and thanks to the letter from the director there's reason to hope that it might even be coming in Q1 2018! That's super cool!!! But let's not jump the gun assuming we know how it's going to work. Let's not go crazy buying up motif or style items only to be massively disappointed later, especially when the community managers have made it abundantly clear on multiple occasions that datamined information is subject to change. Let's be rational, cautiously hopeful, and excited that at least something is on its way.

Piece by piece, you will define your "Costume". Example... My Costume will be called "Battlemage", with the following motifs: Ancient Elf (Head), Daggerfall (Shoulders), Ebonshadow (Chest) etc. When you finish defining your Costume, you save it, and you can use in all the characters.

Yes, it's too early. And Gina has not even written the Patch Note yet. A lot can still change. This data mining may be wrong. But, finally, I was surprised. But I liked the idea of "Costume-making"!

Yep, we’re all just speculating here until transmog debuts on PTS.

Even datamined code can be changed ...
