Please disable costumes in Cyrodil

arnaldomoraleseb17_ESO
Hi, watching the new costumes that will come with crown store I am worried Cyrodiil will lose its medieval atmosphere. I can't imagine a group of clowns trolls running down Cyrodiil :-(.

    More worried about target picking. Targeting players who allegedly wearing light armor, when in fact they are wearing heavy armor under their costume. If youre wearing light armor, you can wear any light armored costume, if youre wearing heavy armor, you can wear heavy armor costume and like that....would work better I think.

    They could always add a no-costume rule to one of the campaigns, I guess, but some of them would be really cool even if you wanted a more RP feel. There are already plans for a group/guild of burly characters roaming Cyrodiil in wedding gowns, just FYI.

    No way that was half the fun in DAOC . Being an OP melee/caster DPS Thane . and wearing all chain armor except for a robe as chest , and a small buckler shield and a mace so i looked like a weak healer.

    They waiting to get jumped so i could wtfpawn the person that attacked me haha .

    But doesn`t matter I cancelled my account 3 days ago before they even announced B2W . subs up on the 8th . Guess i`ll take a break until Camelot unchained .

    Learn your history.....
    Jester : A jester was a historical entertainer either employed to entertain a ruler or other nobility in medieval or Tudor times or was an itinerant performer who entertained common folk at fairs and markets. Jesters in medieval times are often thought to have worn brightly coloured clothes and eccentric hats in a motley pattern.

    I use the basic costumes you get from the main Alliance quests and/or from veteran rank rewards.

    What you proposed imho it's the best option.

    Costumes like jester one, wedding one, chef, blacksmither, dancer, etc. shouldn't be usable in Cyrodiil.
    I'd even make these costumes usable only within towns.

    People already wear costumes that don't match armor types.

    Putting these sorts of limits on costumes will decrease how many people are willing to buy them, I personally don't think they want to do something like that. That and people already wear costumes in Cyrodiil, all those skeletons for example, lots of people have fun with that.

    This is something I do not want to see, personally. If you buy a costume you should be able to use it wherever you want. What if you want to be a travelling jester or use your chef outfit to cook something at one of the random little camps scattered around Tamriel with cooking fires at them? You wouldn't be able to, and that would be sort of disappointing.

    For this what I think would be better is if they added little icons by their health bar, one would represent light armour, one medium, and one heavy. If you're wearing some heavy, have the heavy armour icon, if you're also wearing light, have the light armour one next to that. I would even go as far as to say put a tiny number beside each one indicating how many of each type they're wearing, if you're that worried about it.

    I spend way too much time and money on this game.

    I practically only pvp and if they disable the costumes in cyrodiil they wont get a single penny out of me. Some people need a sense of humour transplant. One of the first things I said to my guildies was the jester will be awesome in pvp for a laugh.

    Umm no, I joke about it, but why is it when the second someone mentions immersion suddenly its a trump card to everything?

    Its part of the game... deal with it... and none of the costumes are out of the lore/time period. Its Tamriel, not medieval Europe.

    Immersion.....PvP....

    You have time for that? I barely get to look at the armor my enemies are wearing before I'm already trying to make them not alive anymore.

    Now if the game limited gear loadouts to classes I could see this being an actual game play problem, but if it's just interrupting your suspension of disbelief? Give us a break.

    The only thing worse than the Underworld version of Cyrodiil we have now will be a Cyrodiil with armies of jesters and cross-dressing men.

    I guess legions of vampires in clown hats and wedding dresses may add some comic relief for the first 5 minutes after 1.6 launches, at any rate.
