just laziness for sale

Kali_Despoine

so I was checking out the crown store update and I saw this pure laziness
They are selling the same reskined item at the same time
Now I know the game will never be fixed proper

Pretty much like the male version. The only difference is a pair of wrist bands and a couple of necklaces.

I was very underwhelmed

VaranisArano

Its got a front flap and different colors. That totally makes it different, right? Right?

When the artists are told something like "so guys, we need 25 new crown crates items and 5 new crown store items this month. And, guys, you hear me? No one gives a damn about what you copypaste in the crown store but THE CRATE STUFF BETTER BE GOOD"

@Magdalina - LOL you crack me up, Magadlina. I think the artists they have now aren't the same ones the company used initially in creating the game. I could be wrong about that, but is it so far fetched to think that with the releasing of the original devs to other jobs and incoming of different devs it stands to reason that the original artists aren't here as well?

ArchMikem

Dude. If you can't even tell those are still legitimately different models, then I dunno what to tell you.

It's possible, but I wouldn't say their (current) artists are bad per se. Vvardenfell is an amazing zone graphically, HotR dungeons are very beautiful, (haven't done Clockwork City) and they do release some very cool looking outfits/mounts/houses/stuff occasionally, it's just that most of them goes to the crown crates.

Zenimax' issue seems to be, first and foremost, the management - the big guys up there making the decisions driven by greed before anything else. I'm not even sure the devs we all bash so much have much power over the course the game is taking tbh.

Hey, at least your store updated. Mine is still the same as pre-maint.

The Store won't update until the 4th.

Well, that explains it then. Thank you.

OP confused me (easily done today, I guess).

All of the racial costumes to my knowledge are like this. There's a plain one for 500 crowns, a slightly nicer version of it for 700, and an ornate one for 1000. I'm not saying you have to like it, but it's not exactly new.

NyassaV

There are so many costumes in the game that have hammer pants so it's W/E

Tasear

I like them.

Bhaal5

Looks like money saving January.

MLGProPlayer

They've always done this.

Acrolas

omg the skirt on dark shaman is the same as the one on ashlander mabrigash travel wear i feel so betrayed let's go riot in the streets until eso live comes on tomorrow

emilyhyoyeon

I like this system of how they do racial costumes. imo the dunmer dresses are much more similar to each other than these argonian ones

platonicidealgirlfriend

yawn. This is how they do literally every round of cultural costumes; "male" and "female" versions, not always released concurrently, with heavy reuse of assets between them. This is an intelligent and efficient way to offer up a formidable amount of variety and cover everyone's bases without reinventing the wheel over and over again. I'd be a lot less impressed if they were wasting time making new assets from scratch over and over again.

Crow polymorph must have rest can burn in pits

Rebirthment

Honestly, the showcase for this month was very underwhelming.

And they're not just minor reskins and mesh-tweaks of the two Bosmer costumes either, right?

I'm neither here nor there about it. If they spend less time on crown clothes, then the artists can spend more time on other world content.

I'm personally quite happy with the new skirts, my wood elf girl can never have too many skimpy outfits.

SisterGoat

People who code the game and people who model outfits are in completely different teams.

ArchMikem

All these people complaining about the costumes just means I'll be one of the only ones walking around actually wearing them, making me more unique.

I call that a win really.

The essential purpose of this post was to point out how the costumes themselves are not "unique" lol...
I could take them but will most likely leave them...

You think they arent, i think they are. And technically speaking, they actually are. The models are different and the textures are different, even if the style is similar. What were you hoping for? Spikes and bones everywhere? A Guar skull hood?

HazelRose

The laziness for sale extends beyond just two costumes looking similar. It's the lack of effort or creativity this month. We have two costumes with a skirt style recycled from the Grahtwood climber. A hair style that's a re-dye of a crown crate offering. I get it with mounts; there's only so many lore friendly options. But maybe some originality with the rest of it?

Both are based on the same mesh, only the fancier one has a front flap added to the skirt and extra arm bands on the lower arms, and was given different textures (colors/pattern). They aren't really that "legitimately different" as you say.
However, I don't think it's something for the O.P. to complain about. Basically, they made the base model, and took an extra few hours to add stuff to it to make a different version.

Will they take a dye.
