Console Habits

21jws10 · August 2015

Has anyone noticed that in console, the mast majority seem to wear heavy armor? And from about 30-VR seem to be vampire or werewolf, I assume this because silver bolts seems to knock down half the time, and that's just vampires (until the tracker perk).

Heavy armour looks the coolest! Therefor must be the best!

I'm on ps4 and still use light armor and i'm lvl 31 mage, if you got your setup right i don't see the point in this heavy armor i see everyone in.

Watching Twitch streams, all the console player streamers play zoomed into their character, while pc streamers are zoomed all the way out.

I play on PS4 zoomed all the way out.

I probly wear heavy until 30 not enough passives before then. Everyone usually wears 2 pc of heavy always. Its usually chest / helm so they might just look like they are wearing heavy. All my chars are ww even the magicka ones. Why not right?

What do you care if people wear heavy armor? They aren't inhibiting the way you play, are they? I wear heavy armor, got a problem with it?

Come at me scrublord, I'm ripped.

Once they hit Veteran and start serious dungeons they cry for a cure.

Well, then don't wear it if you don't want to. But you don't have the right to complain about how other people play if they are operating within the intended confines of the game.

Most of us console players wear heavy armor? That is completey wrong half the time when I walk into a croweded area everyone is wearing no armor

CapnPhoton · August 2015

I rarely notice what others are wearing, unless its one of the goofy jester looking costumes. I think people wear what they want. I go heavy armor too but have no intention of becoming a werewolf or vampire. Thankfully most people don't seem to treat the game as if it were the first day of high school and all its fashion show critiques.

When i'm leveling i wear 2/2/2 just to level them all, maybe switch to 5/1/1 when i nearing vet as i'll have enough skill points and the skill line will be high enough lvl for it to be worth it.

Wow people settle down. True there's no reason to complain about what armor type people wear, but he wasn't complaining, it sounded a lot like an observation/question to me. OP I have noticed these things as well, whether or not it matters (though it bothers me none). This isn't a warzone and sometimes people actually do post things they are curious about. No need to keep your insta-attack mode toggled on.

21jws10 · August 2015

I wasn't complaining, I like heavy

I just stated an observation..

I wasn't complaining or poking fun at the OP. I was just stating how I look (or not) at what others are wearing. I think a lot of people look at what others have so they can either enjoy the armor styles. But for others perhaps so they can make improvements on what they have.

I don't think he was implying that it was you.

I always wear the Covenant Scout costume, even with my vet gear. Not flashy, just plain old brown leather armor.

TortUred_mAlice · August 2015

I just wear completely broken (and non-type matching) armour along with Cuffed boots and Fingerless Gloves!

RAGUNAnoOne · August 2015

I wear medium armor but I do mix heavy gauntlets and boots and I wear a light mask. helps me get skill points.

Sindarious · August 2015

I think it's because a lot of the players on console haven't ever played an MMO or understand an MMO and the roles typical in them. They see heavy armor and the higher armor rating and think "yes!! how could I go wrong!!!!" not realizing they are gimping their Mage or whatnot. Not the case all the time but I think it's a big factor in this.

21jws10 · August 2015

I think most like the aesthetics, I am a console player by the way, so I'm not poking fun at anyone.

But, Tier 4 Imperial heavy looks snazzy... like a Cornthian mauled a Roman Centurion, it's great.

DigitalShibby · August 2015

I'm on Ps4, I run 5 light 2 heavy... the heavy pieces are chest and leg tho so it may look like full heavy to some.

GeekReaper · August 2015

I hate seeing templars all like HEY I'm a healer, but I use heavy armor, or I'm a dps sorc but use heavy armor. I just think to myself, you'll never be good at your class lol

they'll learn eventually for leveling it doesn't matter what you wear, only pledges, dsa, trials and pvp actually matter the rest of pve is so easy you could do it naked.

I like having a heavy chest and legs myself with a light hood type armour so i can look like a battlemage from oblivion

Pallmor · August 2015

My character wears a ratty old Slayer concert t-shirt and sweatpants. He likes to be comfortable.

The console players who think the CP system is instant godmode, and then come on here and cry about how they can't do anything because "PC transfers have all the CP evah."

The passives of health regen seem alluring the first time pve run through. Its only once people start in the harder tasks that more damage or magic a regent seems needed.

Heavy armor looks the best and the robe of light armor just looks dorky.

You have to like your characters looks to want to come back to the game.

Imperial heavy is my fav Appearance wise. Romans were such bad mmofos.

How about the players in general who believe the CP system goes against the entire game's design and was clearly not well thought out by ZOS since they're mentioning seasonal caps. Cap should've been significantly lower to begin with. Make players choose ways to enhance their characters. Not just blanket buffs to everything. Too late for that now.
