Shrike's Nocturnal Frock - Dye Bug

Ajaxduo

There is a part of the gold lining on this costume which doesn't respond to dyes, some of it does though. Surely this isn't intended as it limits customization?



A small PA, there is no way to remove the silk like shine from this outfit like you usually can with certain matte like dyes.

Thankfully I intend to dye all of the trim gold on mine. I wouldn't be surprised if this were intended. Whether or not the undyeable gold section is intended, I think it should be changed to be dyeable.

You can see I dyed half of the gold lining to Adamantine Silver but the other half doesn't, it seems a bit like an oversight if you ask me.

I never purchased this one so I wouldn't know

ZOS if you're selling a costume in price of DLC, all its elements should be dyable!!!

I was waiting sooo long for this costume and now I don't know if I will buy it because once again you screwed dye panels... I hate yellow color and it won't match my character skin tone

Marabornwingrion

You screwed up Telvanni Master Wizard costume, which was also quite expensive and there were a lot of parts which couldn't be dyed. And now you've done EXACT the same thing with Nocturnal costume.

Why are you repeating the same mistakes over and over? Will this costume be fixed? And saying "fixed" I mean adding ability to dye yellow parts. Because right now this robe is NOT worth 2000 crowns.

Wake up ZOS.

Looking forward to get response about when fix for this costume will be released.

Inconsistent dyeing behavior from an expensive costume in ESO? Never happen.

Yeah the hide helmet feature toggles the hood.

There is to much shiney, glowy, flamey, plasticy MMO garbage in this Elder Scrolls game. They aren't going to remove it cause there are players who want that in their MMO and don't care about Elder Scrolls. I won't get started on all the shower shoes....

ZoS keep selling outfits at this price (2,000 Crowns) - because they sell...


If the didn't sell - they wouldn't put them in the crown store!

This right here. Im growing very tired of purchasing these expensive costumes only to find that they arent fully customizable, either because certain parts wont dye or others dont take the dye very well.

Then theres the weird way the end of the shrike dress hugs the legs when running. Its obnoxious to buy these overpriced hack-jobs. Theres some really quality artwork being done but this just isnt it.

I wont even start on how the dress looks like its cut from your flesh.

Dromede

Got excited by the preview, didn't love the way it looked on my characters, even the most vanilla looking ones.

Those side slits make butts look huge.

ArchMikem

Good bet its intended, they've done this before.

GamerAeryn

really don't appreciate the non-dyable gold lining. I hate, hate, HATE gold and was excited to be able to get rid of it. and I can't.

WHYYYY

Every portion of every costume or armor should be dyable.

+ the chosen colours should look like... the chosen colours. I still have nightmares from how terrible the colours looked at the TMW.

cabbageub17_ESO

I understand on some level that texture and light can change the appearance of some colors. Last thing I want is more texture taken out of the game. Surely there's some work around.

Tan9oSuccka

Ugh. This costume is very disappointing.

Terribly ill fitting and dyes like crap.

supaskrub

Bought this because it looked good, it dyes terribly, looks synthetic and probably its only use is going to be on my fat male orc to replace his wedding dress when he goes farming in Craglorn.. seriously I won't be buying anymore costumes from Crown Store until we have a better preview system in place, it happens all too often.

At current crown prices (NA) 2000 crowns works out to a little less than $20.

To put that amount in perspective, the Humble Bundle site currently has 12 full games from Rockstar Studios for $15.

I personally like to think of my purchases this way: "Will I get more enjoyment from a eighteen-dollar costume or from 12 other games?"

I find it helps me focus where my money goes.

With outfitting coming out, one of my biggest new QoL desires (other than, you know, adjusting the outfitting price) is another pass on the dyeing system. There are lots of items that need serious review (like the stuff that has a single or only two dye slots or have really silly choices for where the dye slots are located (looking at you, the entire Order of the Hour motif)), and the way dyes show up on different material types needs a total makeover, because if I wanted a faded red color I'd have chosen that, instead of Ruby Throne Red. Finally, a fourth dye slot would REALLY open up a lot of customization not just for many armor pieces (where applicable), but for cash shop costumes as well!! I can't begin to tell you how frustrating it is with this new trend of vast undeyable areas on costumes like the Nord and Dunmer items.

Theodorus

Agreed, I bought this and am disappointed in it as well. In addition to the non-dyable gold piping, it looks like I'm running around wearing a naugahyde sofa. Instead of the shiny faux leather look a softer, more silk-like appearance would have been better. Also it's kind of thick in the waist. And the peek-a-boo side panels don't really make any sense.

I think what the majority of us want in costumes is pretty simple: something that makes sense within the lore of the game, without the dopey hip flaps and oversized epaulets of the functional armor sets, 100% dyable, a little sexy without the chainmail thong absurdities of most of the Asian games. This shouldn't be that hard to deliver. But this one is a miss.

I bought this costume from the Crown store for 2000 Crowns during one of these limited time sales and I would GLADLY do it again because it is basically 2 costumes in one so it is well WORTH the price and I get plenty of use out of it... Don't even try to tell me they are worth the same amount. I am beside myself in disbelief at how increasingly evident the Price Gouges are becoming...

It does NOT COMPUTE!!! I had every intention of buying Nocturnal Frock until I saw the pricing. I have the crowns, I just can not do it ON PRINCIPLE. HOW CAN THIS COST AS MUCH AS A 2-in-1 Hero Costume!?!
Less Fabric = lower cost.

I do not understand.

i was surprised the texture quality was so bad. if you look at the glenmore coven robes (around half the price at 1200) it has FAR AND AWAY better texturing, details, fit, and dyes better.

I just don't get it, it was a single small robe, how do you screw it up so bad and charge the price of a full DLC for it?

I don't like to assume but what I think happens here is they design costumes in a specific way with a set of colours and never try dying it. You can see in the OP that is coldharbour ash black but it looks grey to me. One thing I really like about the dye system is that certain dyes can turn 'shiny material' into regular matte like colours, but it is impossible with this outfit. If only we could preview dyes on costumes before purchasing them...

I think these trends with the pricing and increased "limited-time offer" items are all about Crown Crates. They dangle out these overpriced carrots, and a few months later we are presented the chance to get these for cheaper than 2000 Crowns (but most likely you will pay 5000+ Crowns opening the Crates).

Id say for me at least, its less about the amount of fabric and more about the quality of work. Whomever designed that Altmer Hero costume DID NOT design this frock. The Altmer Hero costume, while many didnt like it for the leggings, has a lot of detail and layers to it. It looks like armor and clothing. It looks like someone that has been working with the design tool and has mastered the use of it. Where as the frock has that basic release day look to it. As if whomever was tasked with making this has never cared to learn more than the basics of the design tool they use. I hate bashing the costumes, because I cant imagine if the artists that make these things are reading these and its gotta hurt for people to be so critical of this. But at the same time. Thats 20 dollars of my money I wont be getting back. And I wish I could say that this is becoming a trend with ZOS, but its not. Its already been this way for quite a while now. They arent price tagging these based on the quality of work but rather the blind hype thats built on low quality snapshots.

I would of really liked to use this costume for some RP, but this will be falling into the endless pit of costumes that are low quality and that I have no interest in using.
