Not trying to criticize negatively, just wanted to know your opinions because, at least to me, the new Dread Anka-Ra polymorph doesn't really look like stone.

Maybe it's me, but I didn't really like it that much as to buy it.

I didn't want to put a screenshot here because I think it's better to just open the Crown Store in-game and preview the polymorph.

What do you think? Does it look like stone to you?

Thank you in advance for your opinions.

    It looks more like stone than anything I'm going to be able to make with the outfit system. Then again, I still have my graphics set to low from the bar swap bug, so perhaps I'm not seeing the polymorph in all of its stony glory.

    Hm, I previewed it and it definitely looks like an iron statue, rather than stone. Not bad, but not exactly what's being advertised.

    Hey look. Terra cotta in tamriel.
    If you see me anywhere. Know that I am sitting back with a bag of popcorn, watching as ESO burns the goodwill of its player base with practices that only disrespects the players time like it did to me and many others...

    If a game does not respect your time, best thing to do is move on from it and find something else.

    I'd be interested to know if you can hide the helmet on this polymorph, and if so, what it looks like underneath.

    In the preview it keeps wearing the hat my character has on.

    I am incredibly interested in finding out if that actually works for real or if it's a preview bug. XD

    Almost certainly does not. But... you know, that is pretty amusing.

    This thread isn't about the poly looking good or bad, but about not looking like stone as an Anka-Ra statue should look.

    Also, that picture above has a brownish lighting effect that, in some way, masks how the statue really is, and it looks even more like iron and not stone.

    On one of my female characters it made me think of the Venus of Willendorf that was made out of fiberglass.

    I don't know, the Dread Anka-Ra statues in all the history books looks exactly like that.

    I like Poly-morphs, but this one I did not like. It does not change your character to something else in the same way like other poly's do. I want to enable the poly-morph and be completely changed. This was almost a costume.

    Compare this to the Poly-morph for completing VMA. This one changes you completely.

    Managed to grab this yesterday before my motherboard blew up. The weapons don't color. Hats seems to be OFF as default on all polys since DBones dropped since people were upset that they could no longer hide them. I have searched for a way to turn the hat back on on my polys and there doesn't seem to be an option for now. So the poly effectively has no helm at all and there is no way to put one on it. Other hats from the collection menu don't show on the poly, that little perk seems to be only for the preview menu.

    That's about all I could gather.

    As for the stone look, I think it looks okay. Only strange detail is the texture on the face that looks like it's wrapped in stony fabric, kind of like a mummy statue.

    Try Settings -> Gameplay ->Hide Polymorph Helm -> On/Off (Its the same place the old Hide Helm was)

    The promo screenshots for this polymorph make it look really cool, but then you realize it's just the lighting. The actual thing is a bland, weird looking thing. Sad :(

    I think that's a general truth about all promo screenshots.

    Yeah I didn't think it looked much like stone either. More of a crusty metal.
