ZOS: Your new approach and creativity to skill styles is AMAZING

Nemesis7884

Its AMAZING that you explore more creative variants to skill styles - not only changing the color but the theme, creature, animation etc.!! It allows for so much more detailed character fantasy! Continue on that path please even accelerate it!!!!

Same for the classless system with subclassing - I would even love if at some point we abandon classes altogether and move to a purely skill line based system with maybe class ideas serving only new players as starting guidelines (I also think a purely skill based system would be much easier to balance).

Skill styles are cool and all, but if they're going to continue to make these, they need to add a client side toggle to disable them for people in PvP. These make it artificially difficult to tell what's being cast, which hurts pvp readability incredibly. They directly damage pvp gameplay.

Note I am not asking to disable them on your end, just as a person's choice for their client only.

Skill styles are unnecessary cosmetics. They're not a selling point for the game.

I just want Skill Styles for Werewolf Transformation to change my appearance.

It's great that the human form has all these cosmetics (costumes, outfit styles, head/body markings, skins, polymorphs, hats, personalities, customized actions, etc) in addition to all of these Skill Styles for a wide range of abilities. It's not necessary to dress the part for PvE or PvP, but it makes the game more enjoyable when your character looks good.

Why can't Werewolf get some cosmetics? We recently got Infectious Claws, Verdant Green to go with our Roar, Verdant Green, but those Skill Styles just take away detail from otherwise decent ability VFX. I just want to be able to customize how I look while transformed — since it's okay for a human player to dress up and hide things like their vampirism stage, armor + weapon types, and obscure ability VFX with Skill Styles, it shouldn't matter if Werewolf would be allowed to change their fur color regardless of morph; especially since Feral Guardian now has two Skill Styles which change its fur color.

If they allowed better visual customization, I would consider them a minor selling point, as in just part of the cosmetic system overall.

But having a blue Flame Lash doesn't make sense to me, because it doesn't look like blue fire. Flame Lash looks like fire, like it has an identifiable substance. When it's blue, it just looks like it was photoshopped a different color.

As opposed to more substantial skills styles like the frosty styles we got this winter, which open up a bit of cosmetic roleplay opportunities.

Honestly i think both is fine to sharpen an identity but ouf course more substantial thematic changes of skill styles are much more interesting - i personally for example like blue changes cause my main is a templar that combines templar with necromancer skills for a darker templar version that uses all blue effects, armor, pet, mount etc...so it creates a really fitting overall expression of a darker warhammer-esque templar (just need a blue or darker jesus beam)
