Why can't we dye/change our hair without spending crowns?

Would be nice of they would add hair dye and styles to the outfit station. What do you think?

But seriously, its a silly thing to charge us money for, but sadly these are the times we live. Where we get nickel and dimed for things like hair color and or hair styles instead of having them be unlocked in game by achievements.

Old_Foggy✭✭✭✭It certainly would be a good idea but with them selling Appearance Change Tokens on the crown store I doubt it will happen.0 -

✭✭✭I could possibly see hair color as not "a bridge too far," possibly (though I think highly unlikely), but they definitely aren't going to remove Crown Store items from the store and make them free in-game.
(Other than Appearance Change tokens, you can, currently, purchase hair style packs and some individual hair styles from the Crown Store and then apply them in-game at any time for no cost.)Edited by Grizzbeorn on January 10, 2022 1:05PM1 -
kamimark✭✭✭✭Having a hair dye pack in the crown store would go a long way to making appearance more flexible. Currently I can instantly grow dreadlocks, a mullet, or crew cut… but it costs me a token to change color? Nuts. People been bleaching or henna-ing their hair different colors for thousands of years.

✭✭✭✭✭Tbh. I do not understand that we don't have hair dyes & skin tones. We have hair packs & skin packs in the crown store, so we can "slot" any hair type or skin that was available during character creation.... So why not hair colours or skin tones packs ?
Even if it would be crown store only thing, it is weird that it is not in the game, as this is something that could potentially give them a lot of cash income.Edited by Tommy_The_Gun on January 10, 2022 2:10PM3 -

✭Because ZOS need incoming money to get the game going, and appearance changes are part of the products selling best. Don't forget that ESO is not a pay to win game. They can earn money only via selling "nice to have" stuff.Edited by DreamyLu on January 10, 2022 2:09PMI'm out of my mind, feel free to leave a message... PC/NA1 -

✭✭✭✭✭I don't think the hair style pack is too bad because it's a one-off purchase. Having to buy appearence change tokens to change your hair colour is annoying however.
Maybe a compromise could be to offer either a hair style token which is cheaper than a full appearence change and only affects hair and accessories (because they're often on/near your hair so the two need to go together), or offering a hair dye pack like the hair style which unlocks all the colours so you can switch between them.PC EU player | She/her/hers | PAWS (Positively Against Wrip-off Stuff) - Say No to Crown Crates!

Adding some cheaper hair dyes to Crown Store both for Crowns and Crown gems could also work.
It is unclear for me why to purchase the entire appearance change token for just varying hair color?

✭✭Selling "exotic" hair colors in the Crown Store could be a real money spinner.
In fact I don't understand why they haven't added this already. As of the last Crown Crate release we can have a purple sparkly horse, so I don't think the reason we can't have purple hair on our characters is "immersion".10 -

✭✭Probably why there is no dye system for alchemists either.So they raised the floor and lowered the ceiling. Except the ceiling has spikes in it now and the floor is also lava.0 -

✭✭✭✭✭Since we have hair style packs we can buy (with crowns) it only makes sense that we should have hair color packs we could buy from the crown store so we can change our hair color at will. Yes, it still costs crowns but it would be a one-time cost and not expensive to start with. The reality is top games are offsetting costs with stuff like this instead of increasing costs of playing the game itself.3 -

✭✭✭✭✭Should just add a hair colour cosmetic pack, just like the hair style, markings, and adorments ones. Makes you able to change between the default hair colours like the other things.[Lie] Of course! I don't even worship Daedra!1 -
Mesite✭✭✭✭I blame it on real life. I know people who spend a fortune on their hair just to make sure it looks the same all the time. I always create my characters with no hair or very short hair so I can wear my one and only rainbow hairstyle. I look so good why would I spend more?0

✭✭✭I’ve been longing for hair dye since Day 1 in this game. Please!! Back when I used to color my hair, I changed it frequently because it was fun to experiment with new looks. I feel the same way about my characters!1 -

✭✭✭✭✭In a genre in which a lot of players these days decline to pay a subscription there has to be an alternative way of raising revenue, and selling cosmetics in a cash shop is a lot better than selling Pay to Win items.2 -
Nanfoodle✭✭✭✭✭Most MMOs let you spend a few gold to change your hair style, facial hair and color. Especially for styles you own or in the creator. IMO ESO really need to step up here to the industry standard.5 -

I was thinking that same thing, but you said it first!Tenesi Faryon of Telvanni - Dunmer Sorceress who deliberately sought sacrifice into Cold Harbor to rescue her beloved.
Hisa Ni Caemaire - Altmer Sorceress, member of the Order Draconis and Adept of the House of Dibella.
Broken Branch Toothmaul - goblin (for my goblin characters, I use either orsimer or bosmer templates) Templar, member of the Order Draconis and persistently unskilled pickpocket
Mol gro Durga - Orsimer Socerer/Battlemage who died the first time when the Nibenay Valley chapterhouse of the Order Draconis was destroyed, then went back to Cold Harbor to rescue his second/partner who was still captive. He overestimated his resistance to the hopelessness of Oblivion, about to give up, and looked up to see the golden glow of atherius surrounding a beautiful young woman who extended her hand to him and said "I can help you". He carried Fianna Kingsley out of Cold Harbor on his shoulder. He carried Alvard Stower under one arm. He also irritated the Prophet who had intended the portal for only Mol and Lyris.***Order Draconis - well c'mon there has to be some explanation for all those dragon tattoos.

This is off-topic, but I just wanted to point out that Fallen Earth is back up and running again.

✭✭✭✭✭The difference with WoW, for example, only charging ingame gold for cosmetics is, of course, that it is subscription-based. Once you drop mandatory subscriptions there has to be an alternative source of funding by way of a cash shop. It's then purely down to whether the cash shop sells cosmetic items or Pay to Win items.Edited by Tandor on January 11, 2022 2:47PM0 -

You can buy and own hairstyles in ESO, like the base game hairstyle cosmetic pack even unlocks hairstyles you couldn't use in the character creator. Yes, they cost crowns, but you can then change hairstyle without spending gold whenever and wherever you want with just a click.
So if they were to add hair colour change it would likely be another cosmetic pack to match all the other ones we already have.[Lie] Of course! I don't even worship Daedra!1 -

That's not really an excuse for ESO.
Costume dying is ESO+ free. They could equally make hair dying ESO+ bound, and make it a nice gold sink to deal with inflation.
