Give Ebon, Hircine and Worm sets back their original appearance!

This is how the old sets looked like:
Ebon Armory
Hircine's Veneer
Worm's Raiment
If you want to look how the new styles look like in Thieves Guild open the containers on PTS at your own risk. I did that and was extremely disappointed with what I found...
With the Thieves Guild DLC the old sets that provide buff to 12 person groups have been reintroduced. The Ebon, Hircine's and Worm sets are scaled up to Veteran 16 and will be available from the new trial. That's brilliant news and thanks to Zenimax for brining these great sets back up to date.
However, the new sets come in the frankly horrible design that is identical to other sets that will drop from Maw of Lorkhaj. My question to Zenimax is why would these iconic sets have to change their appearance at all? Please revert to the same original design which is unique and so pleasing to the eye. Leave the new armor style to the other sets; this would make them stand out on their own without sharing the appearance with 12 person buff sets.

✭Is the style the same in pts, just with the ridiculous colour on armours, or has the style changed completely? Hircines Veneer looks awesome as it is, shame its too bad to use, and will be even more of a shame if they reworked the style.0 -
MaxwellC✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭Yeah I agree on the PTS the new changes look so horrible, I mean it now all looks the same just a bit different instead of each individual one having their own unique look. It's just like my flames of oblivion that was changed into a mage light.不動の Steadfast - Unwavering

Snowstrider✭✭✭✭✭So Ebon was Breton style, Worm was Redguard, what was Hircine? I can't tell from looking at it.
Nope ebon was ebony armor from skyrim and the other are unique non craftable style as well

Katinas✭✭✭✭So Ebon was Breton style, Worm was Redguard, what was Hircine? I can't tell from looking at it.
No, they all had unique styles.
Ebon shares the same armor style as Ravager (PVP gear that increases your weapon damage). Last boss in veteran Dragonstar Arena also uses that armor.
Worm shares same model with Curse Eater and Necromancer sets.
As of Hircine, I think it is totally unique and does not share same model with any other sets.
Which is why they stand out so much, not only for the spinning bubbles. @ZOS_KaiSchober Please keep the otiginal styles!1 -

✭✭✭Worm's Raiment has one of the best helmets in the game.
I'd get people in PvP to wear these 3 sets occasionally. People would always stop and stare as, like so many other Sets in ESO, they'd never even seen anyone wearing them before. Though they stop and stare at Eternal Warrior most of all. Big ole Robot-head looking heavy armor. It's awesome.2 -

✭✭✭✭✭Hircine's helmet is (was) also pretty cool. I wish it was craftable at least.
And yeah, this change is stupid... Worm cult set that doesnt look like worm cult armor? Lol.Dro-m'Athra Destroyer | Divayth Fyr's Coadjutor | Voice of Reason

Iove✭✭✭✭This is ridiculous, first the change to orc and redguard armor that no one wanted, now more changes no one wants. Why are we giving a company our money when they make the game worse?

✭All the newer armor styles are boring. Glass in particular was a joke compared to its earlier TES counterparts.
I think they're convinced that it they don't dull down all the regular in-game armor that no one will want to buy their Crown Store costumes.0 -

I agree to a degree. I haven't played any TES titles except for Skyrim and this, but the glass style in Skyrim compared to the glass style in ESO is night-and-day. I'd much rather prefer the glass style from Skyrim to the glass of ESO.0 -

✭✭✭✭✭Just so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair. About a dozen of Altmer NPCs in the game have black hair. Just saying.
Meet my characters:Command: Do the thing.
Zadarri, Khajiit Fist of Thalmor: The thing was done, as commanded.
Durza gra-Maghul, Orc blacksmith: The thing was done perfectly, in the most efficient way.
Tegwen, Bosmer troublemaker: You can't prove I didn't do the thing.
Sings-Many-Songs, Argonian fisher: Sure, I'll do the thing... Eventually. Maybe.
Aerindel, Altmer stormcaller: After extensive research, I've come to the conclusion that doing the thing would be a waste of resources.
Liliel, Dunmer pyromancer: Aerindel said I shouldn't do the thing. Something about "resources".
Gyda Snowcaller, Nord cryomancer: I will find a way to do it that won't waste resources and make Aerindel proud of me.
Beatrice Leoriane, Breton vampire: I persuaded someone else into doing the thing. You are welcome, dear.
Sahima, Redguard performer: Doing the thing sounds awfully unpleasant and really not my problem.
Ellaria Valerius, Imperial priestess: I'll pray to the Eight for the thing to be done, if it is Their will.0 -

Fine for the new sets, I guess. At least if you want to look like something you'd see on Hollywood Blvd.
But why the heck change the old sets we were looking forward to having back?Lag is ruinin' my 'mershun!

Lancillotto✭✭✭Aaargh! so not only we are not getting the ebon armor style as a motif, but ZOS plans to ditch the look of the armor altogether? That was the coolest armor set in the game, why would they do that??? >_>0
