Official Discussion Thread for "Become Monstrously Fashionable with Limited-Time Outfit Styles"

ZOS_GinaBruno

This is the official discussion thread for the blog article Become Monstrously Fashionable with Limited-Time Outfit Styles. Now, you are able to acquire mask, shoulder, and weapon Outfit Style pages based on the game's most menacing bosses. Find out everything you need to know about these new cosmetic items in our latest article.

Do the mask and shoulder style look the same as the actual helm and shoulder? I can see pictures of the weapons but not the armor.

Nice to see that they're tradeable. Finally, a decent way to monetize the thousands of keys that I have...

Is the shoulder drop chance affected by the HM achievement?

Gralor

What really bothers me is how Zenimax prolongs the whole procedure for so long. We basically might have to wait YEARS until our favorite monster mask will see the light of the day.

I’d like to add: 32 Dungeons equals 32 Months equals 2 Years and 8 Months if they stick to their plan to release one monster mask every month.

There are few things I detest more than completing a hard mode vet dungeon only to have a chance that something will drop. These pages should be guaranteed drops on hard mode with a 20-25% chance on regular vet mode. Who has time for this amount of farming?

eso_nya

Amazing, a combination of the most beloved elements of eso:
- elements that r extremly grindy vs snippy rng chances
- (prolly overpriced) cash shop only elements
- and limited time aswell \o/

Will there be a dungeon that drops the "hide shoulder" option?

Ergh

So now ZO$ introduce its latest disappointment ....undaunted RNG loot for outfit styles but for a limited time only

Apache_Kid

Why did you pick like the single ugliest monster mask to start this event with?!? So many better choices....

Faulgor

I'm so bloody tired of all these limited time offers.
All the time people ask me where to get this or that mount, costume, style, whathaveyou, and I always have to tell them it's no longer available. Leaves a really great impression.

Cinbri

Unclear - do you need achievement for double drop or you need to do hardmode for double drop?

Grothdarr would like to have a word with you...

I would never use them. Hell, the whole point of outfits and costumes is to hide the monster sets. But I'd want them for the completionism, so that they will not be forever grayed out in my collection screen.

The price of the weapon pack will determine how completionism I'm feeling. Really though, are there truly any good looking monster sets? That's why they are available in game and the cool weapons are pay-walled

My completionism never extends to the expenditure of crowns. Just the in-game head and shoulders for me. The weapon styles are pretty meh anyway from what I saw on the PTS.

Engine Guardian is better-looking than most headpieces in the game (or Crown Store) IMO. Iceheart is pretty great too. Can't wait till they become available as outfit styles.

Its just Crypt of Hearts I.....one of the easiest hardmodes in the game...

There will be so much gnashing of teeth on the forums when Thurvokun's set comes up in this cycle. Though that will likely be years down the line. Or Balorgh's, if that fight does not receive adjustments from its current state on the PTS.

DarcyMardin

Ugh. It’s bad enough that we already can’t hide the ugly shoulders (unless we wear a costume or an outfit). Thank the Divines that we *can* hide the mask.

Ragged_Claw

I thought maybe the outfit style would be slightly different from the actual items, judging by the responses, I guess not. I use costumes to hide those ugly sets so it seems a bit pointless. Still worth selling I guess. The weapons look pretty nice, sad to see they're crown only though.

Shinshadow

I like the idea of this because I LOVE the Molag Kena shoulder. But DAMN!!! It looks like I'm a member of the Psijic Order and magically levitating it on my shoulder. It is always floating on my shoulder, no matter what character model I'm using. If you can lower that to where it isn't floating all the time, and I'm definitely game for it :-)

LOL fair enough

I just need the Bogdan Nightflame one

Good job on making them tradeable. I was really expecting these to be bound so it's nice to know there is an option to get them if RNG is not on your side. It may also mean that the drop rate could be insanely low to compensate (looking at you, swift jewelry), but I'm more than happy to buy a duplicate off someone else if I can't find one.

Will the crown store weapons packs be giftable? Wondering if I should start looking for a seller in advance.

NewBlacksmurf

This is interesting....

@ZOS_GinaBruno Wouldn't it make a lot more sense instead...as it appears the companies goal is to better engage players to come play during company focus intervals.

1. You can obtain these motifs by running X dungeon anytime from today - undefined future
2. Between July 25 - Aug 29th there is an increased chance for these to drop
3. These will be on sale in the crown store always but discounted from X to Y date
4. (Apply to above to ALL Monster motifs year round with differing periods to encourage people to run certain dungeons)

Another grindfest collectible? Ugh....

Vanthras79

Meh

Eradrann

How toxic will this community be during the event? I'm really intimidated to do anything group related anymore. Most of the time I'm getting criticized for being "bow/bow" or even just using a bow in general, not having meta or BIS gear, dying too much (because the "tank" and "healer" aren't doing their jobs), not producing INSANE DPS numbers, etc.


Pretty cool none the less, like code and Miss kinda said earlier, I'm a bit of a completionist, so I would like to at least get the head and shoulders also. Weapon wise... I really only care about the bow. So hopefully the pack is a decent price or they sell them individually.

I really cannot see the community being overly toxic during this event. It is only a relatively easy dungeon run. However, if you want someone to run it with just whisper or mail me in game: @CyberOnEso I will happily run it with anyone regardless of experience or build.

I am sure that will be the case.

"The Ilambris weapons blaze bright with the fire of the Daedric mage Ilambris-Zaven himself. Even if your weapons typically have a different looking effect from their enchantment, they'll now appear to burn with overwhelming fire."

That doesn't mean you don't have to fix the persisting weapon enchant visual bug that already exists on the live server, however.

majulook

RNG sucks... Tokens would be better get X amount get the item.

At least they are trade able.

Sad that its the Crown store for the rest of the outfit items, but hey they got to make money.

James-Wayne

These sets do look very cool when I saw them on PTS, Shadowrend doesn't look nearly as exciting so will probably past on that one but anything that looks cool I'm all in... already do the daily grind so getting something rom them is nice for a change.

I really hope the arm packs are not 5k on the crown store, that would be very very sad.

MornaBaine

I pretty much loathe all the dungeon sets....which means I almost never run dungeons. So yet another RNG grindfest I won't be participating in. Cool.
