For those of you that don't go on the PTS, we tried to advocate on your behalf. We really tried.

We also suggested a FLAT COST for changes. Similar to how it costs 3k to change champion points. No arbitrary higher costs for other motifs. No dice.

Well, @Recremen did all the work in hiscomplete review of the outfit system on the PTS and I just gave moral support.

Pink swords are a thing now. Somewhere out there Paul Sage senses a disturbance in the force.

Remember that is is on EVERY character you make, since these are character wide and not account wide. So if you want all your characters to look a certain way, you have to pay for the same thing over and over. Note also that the costs in outfit tokens doesn't change no matter how high you get the gold cost. If those motifs are really worth more, then the token cost should increase too.


Note that this is about $3 at current crown costs. Not much if you did it once but you will have to pay it again if you want to change JUST ONE DYE or one item since it costs to make ANY changes.

Spent tons of time and money farming rare motifs?

Now you get to pay for the privilege of using your own motifs from your own collection. I could see this cost justified if you didn't own the motif, but to charge you to use something you already payed for? Really?

Higher than many players want to pay, yes.

High enough to push me towards using the Crown Store tokens, no.

either make outfit slots cheaper or gold costs lower...one of the two

It should be free for everyone, or at least for ESO+ members.
It's just another unnecessary gold sink.

It's deliberately set high to sell tokens. A gold sink this large may cause deflation as well, effectively making prices even higher than they seem right now.

So they should be higher then.

No, they are about right

Honestly it should cost more. It is to cheap.

Yes, the outfit system should be enjoyable for all players: the poor newcomers and the veteran millionaires.
It's bad enough that the housing system is so expensive.

I have already provided my feedback in game and stated my displeasure at the costs.

I modified the one free outfit slot fully and depending on my choices, it cost between 10,000 and a bit over 14,000 gold to fully set an outfit.

I am by no means rich. Compared with many players that I know have literally millions of gold, I am a pauper.

I will state now, I will not spend anymore gold or use any crowns going towards this outfit system in its current state.

Please reconsider the costs that have been set, and make them more reasonable. I really don't care at this point if every player in ESO calls my toons ugly, it will not change my opinion.

I've got 4 million gold across my characters, so if ZOS starts pricing the outfit gold sink to hit my bank account, the rest of y'all are going to suffer.

There should be no cost at all associated with this system. We already spent the time/money collecting all these motifs and colors and now we are being charged to use things we already own? This is one giant racket designed to yet sink more gold from players so they have to spend more time farming gold.

Nihility42

No, they are about right

I think they're fair. They could stand to adjust what they consider rare a little bit, but otherwise I think it's reasonable. I paid like 4k for my entire outfit when I set it up earlier.

I have 3342 gold. I guess I gotta reach out for my credit card to use this new feature

Economy needs gold sinks

Yeah gold sinks work just about as well as taxes when you have such a huge wealth disparity.



But lets not kid ourselves. This isn't intended as a gold sink. That much is obvious.

This game has been reduced to a cash cow...and Zo$ is milking hard...so I am not surprised by these prices

Good thing I am not paying a sub anymore

MajesticHaruki

I found the whole gold requirement absurd. We farmed these motifs, spent gold to buy them or money to earn them through the crown store. Now we are forced to pay, and even more for the rare motifs, to apply them to our characters. In my opinion they should have been selling only the outfit slots for crowns. They should lower the prices at least by 50% and reward the eso plus subscribers with 2-3 tokens each month or allow them to modify their outfits without spending gold. The Dye station was perfect. Either you would buy dyes with crowns or earn them by achievements and apply them for free on any piece of gears or costume you had in your possession. I hope ZOS listens to this feedback from all of us and reconsiders its decisions.

Fixed that for you.

This price is way to high and just want to know what happened to the one free outfit on patch notes 3.3.0 dragon bones that @ZOS_GinaBruno typed up on Feb 8th, it stated. I know it was 4 days ago but wow really ????
