Amazing job on the new top hats zos

Aliyavana

I finally have completed my steampunk look


These low rise top hats are amazing and fit the clockwork and steampunk type aesthetic! keep up the good work! Now release the bigger top hats please.

My only criticism is that they dye horribly

Aliyavana

I know some of you might say this hat looks outta place, but in a game universe where reman era spaceships exist, stars are portals to another dimension, people are riding flame mounts, and we have a literal city of robotic tech, this is not anything near the bizarre spectrum

Aliyavana

Anyone got pics of the new hat they wanna share?

I don't think you need to defend yourself, here, @aliyavana.

Each player has their own view of what the genre should look like when you combine design, science fiction, art, and what was presumably the 19th century.

Looks good by the way ...

Nice! He looks great!

The empire faked the moons landing and Khajiit actually won the space race but you won't hear a Cyrod admit it because they're still trying to convince themselves that the property isn't theft. #KhajiitDidNothingWrong

Previous TES games featured very limited armor and cultural garb and generally focused heavily on styles from a single region. I think the variety available now gives us a much more realistic, nuanced view of the state of Tamrielic garb. I mean even the rich variety we have now pales in comparison to how a to-scale world would be, but it hits us with enough representative variety to do it better justice than any other game that's come along in this series. Now if some people are going to take these items and combine them into some off-brand aesthetic then I'm totally willing to live with that consequence in exchange for the general boost to worldbuilding.

I know some people who hate the dwemer and mechanical aspects of teslore because they cherrypick stuff as outta place when such things have existed before the majority of them started played tes games

They are nice but like you said OP, they dye horribly. Why are so many new items coming out with crappy dye channels? Did the original person leave or something? Come on ZOS, use that Crown Crate money to git gud.

I see ppl sitting in MW with orange tops, green pants, and a new years party hat. Absolutely has no place in ESO. Most of this garbage came from the intro of crates. Then there is the neon orange mounts....ok

And so, f crates.

Someone link the canon calander, many of the ingame holidays have real world equilvalants in some elemants, even if they are not on the same day. And those flashy mounts have been given appropriate lore. and the new hats isn't from crates...

The point of the second comment is to highlight that many of the stuff we see isn't the most bizarre things tes has seen

First time I like a look idea

Can we talk about how the hat pairs with the Dwarven goggles...

...but doesn't work with the Morag Tong goggles?

I don't like the buckle. Even a gear would be better!

I replaced it with a metal one, this better than the last?

CardboardedBox

Huh......I never even thought of a look like that for my characters. The closest thing I did was attempt a cowboy look with those hats they released a while back, but it kept bothering me seeing him using weapons that weren't revolvers lol.

You did a really good job designing him.

And those hats really do dye disgusting. One of the worst yet. It's so washed out and pale...

Orange tops?! *adjusts monocle*

GREEN PANTS?!? *gets the vapours*

How DARE an entire continent develop the ability to, somewhere along the line, dye clothes these particular and totally out of the ordinary colours!!!

But such knowledge is not widely spread out among people otherwise you would see a different tamriel now. Yet with an mmo you can actually have the opposite effect with all the people using these "cool" stuff.

Hats are fab but the way they dye nearly made me weep. I want a dark blue one but no, only a washed out blue

Frustrating as hell, innit.

I really like your steampunk outfit

But ZOS needs to improve how the costumes dye. It's getting more and more common with new costumes/hats that they have dyeing issues, some colors are washed off (looking at you holiday in balmora outfit) and some of them have too many undyable parts (Telvanni master wizard).

What's the point of having ESO+ if you still can't properly dye your stuff...

Couldn't agree more. Very frustrating.

Hi @aliyavana,

Zebendal looks amazing! Great job!

It's interesting how sometimes just adding one piece of clothing as an option can open up a variety of styles for people to dress their characters in.

I'll pass along the dye feedback to the team. Generally speaking, dye results tend to vary based on the fabric/metal/leather the dye is being applied to, just like in the real world. It may be that a different dye variant would need to be added at some point to get the result you're looking for. I can't really speak to that happening though.

Hey @ZOS_Edward thanks for stopping by! I think the feedback a lot of us fashion-concerned folks would like passed on is that having dyes altered so drastically based on their materials is just flat out completely undesirable. It is also implemented very inconsistently, which adds further pain to the point. Most of my leather and cloth will wind up a rich and lovely black when I use the Legate Black dye, but for some reason this hat barely changes shade at all. Thus, whether it's cloth or leather, it isn't really matching expectations. Also these are kind of more magic paints than dyes, since we can remove them freely and apply them to stuff that is normally not dyeable, like metal. More consistency in how dyes work, less "realism" and more true-to-swatch colors would be great, along with a revisiting of existing gear to be more in line with that goal.

This is the one we have right now


This photoshop I made is about the height I want a new one to be

Is that as dark as the hat gets?

I like the hat too. I'm super glad they didn't make it tuck all the hair in so I can keep long glorious hair where I want long glorious hair.

It really doesn't dye well with dark colors which come out looking faded but light or pastel colors are fine. If you want a white, pink, or baby blue hat you are set.
