Now That We Have Mimic Stones...

Enemy-of-Coldharbour · March 2016

Having the new Mimic Stones is great. What we really need now is something else, another stone perhaps, that allows us to change the style of a PREVIOUSLY CRAFTED item to a new style THAT WE KNOW. With each new DLC we get new motifs to learn. Some new styles may have more appeal than older ones and for the average player we cannot afford to craft new VR16 gear just for the sake of an appearance change. ZOS, please find a way to make this happen. What do other players think about this?

LiquidSchwartz · March 2016

Yes

Transmogrification system would be nice, yes.

Acharnor · March 2016

Yes

I like it - I want it!

Oh_Skrivva · March 2016

Yes

Plus sometimes you make a new piece that looks cool from the small picture we can look at but ends up looking atrocious. But since you sunk 150 mats to make the v16 item you don't wanna let it go to waste. Atleast give us a section in character select screen to model all gear in game and maybe dye them as well so we can see what looks best

Xendyn · March 2016

Yes

I'm in.

Turelus · March 2016

Yes

Everything needs to be Dunmer.

That Ebon armour? Dunmer.

That Molag Kena? Dunmer.

Martial Knowledge? Dunmer.

TheValkyn · March 2016

Yes

Heh, even though it's only 22 votes I believe it's worth pointing out this is the first time I've witnessed a 100% Yes poll.

Didgerion · March 2016

Yes

Also we need a stone to change the armor trait as well.

And a stone to increase the armor's level.

Morimizo · March 2016

Yes

I've wanted this since launch; it would work just like "Convert to Imperial."

Changing the armor trait with a special item would be great as well, to agree with @Didgerion.

Turelus · March 2016

Yes

Until @MaximusDargus went and did a combo breaker.

Rivan12 · March 2016

Yes

Those two guys just had to be different and vote no. 90+% approval rating on your poll is pretty banging though.

Acrolas · March 2016

Not a fan of the mimic stones.

What the game really needed was a style material exchange, where you could trade a large amount of common material or proportionally less uncommon material for one that's rare. But no, ZOS went the counterfeit/bootleg route where you get a knockoff product instead.

Yeah, you can call that fake Prada purse a "mimic" all you want, but we all know you paid some guy in China $12 for it...

Recremen · March 2016

No

Not saying no because I dislike the idea of transforming gear. Indeed, I think it's super important and want it ASAP. But I don't want yet another crown store stone to do it. It should be like dyes, where you invest a lot of time getting there but then can do it for free forever. Whether this involves just learning the motif, or investing a certain amount of crafting stones per set piece, or what, I don't care, but the system would see way more use if it followed that model instead of having to buy a stone every time you want to switch between Glass and Trinimac or whatever.

Gothlander · March 2016

Yes

We also need a stone to change the stone back to original stone.

Oreyn_Bearclaw · March 2016

Yes

We already have this function for imperial, no reason it shouldnt exist for all known Motifs. It is 100% aesthetic, so there are no counter arguments for balance or anything like that. It might actually make me more aggressive about getting all the new motifs out there. As it is, I dont see much of a point. My gold gear is made and not changing at least until thieves guild (and only then if something better comes along). I would love to be able to change the style, but I certainly would not re-craft perfectly good gold gear just to change the appearance. I only see an upside with this.

vladimilianoub17_ESO1 · March 2016

Yes

Thats something I noticed when they raised max level crafting gear mats quantity.I was like,wow so many styles but now it so hard to change styles if you wish to.To expensive.So basically if you are max lvl and like to have max lvl gear ,collecting motifs is not even worth it.And that there is bad design decision.

vladimilianoub17_ESO1 · March 2016

Yes

Also if they ever add something like this,and they should,it needs to be cheaper to get in-game and in crown store.Why cheap? cause not being able to switch styles often its the result of ZOS decision of increasing end game crafting mats quantity.

Lithium Flower · March 2016

No

No. As a crafter, I need the business from fashionistas redoing their wardrobe every season. It's something to keep the economy churning; something to strive for even if you have outfitted all your max rank alts and are now eyeing the bank mule judgmentally.

ESO is already transforming into an instant gratification theme park.

Recremen · March 2016

No

image removed for being way too pedantic

It really depends on how they implement the restyling, though. If it requires you to know the motif first, then you'd still get all your fashion-conscious folks coming to you for their gear, but you'd also be able to redo your own style, basically becoming your own advertising board. "Oh, this old thing? Yeah, I could make you one in a similar style, just make sure you dye it that same delightful green as the Breton Robe you wore to last spring's gala." *bats eyelashes*

Kaliki · March 2016

Yes

Yes, we desperately need yet another stone...

But seriously, a transmogrification stone only available in the crown store would likely bring a lot of money.

I would not spend real money on looks myself, but the big masses seem to spend more money on mount skins and pets than DLCs.

Since it only affects style I think P2Win and instant gratification are not really an issue.

Jakhajay · March 2016

Yes

I voted yes, but NOT AS PART OF THE CROWN STORE!!!

This should work similar to the convert to Imperial function, but only if you know the style you want to convert to, and it consumes the racial stone to convert. Heck, make it require a skill point or 3 (one each for BS, CL and WW)

Also, it should work on any dropped sets. With the possible exception of the monster sets. Let's face it, Footman's is a useful set for tanks, but fugly as. If i could convert it to khajiiti or Trinimac style, I would be so happy.

EDIT: Double post instead of edit >.< woops

Oakmontowls_ESO · March 2016

Yes

Yes, I kind of thought that this was what mimic stones did from what they said in the patch notes and was disappointed when I tried them in the pts

AdamBourke · March 2016

No

No, the in-game economy is bad enough already. Crafters still have the glimmer of hope that someday, someone might want new armour because it looks nicer. Don't take that away from us.

Vilestride · March 2016

Yes

Please ZoS, introduce some way of re-stylizing gear, give us the ability to melt down our old gold gear without loosing 7-8 tempering alloys and re-make it the way we want. you are constantly adding new motifs which is great work from your art department but for me, it is making my gear outdated way too fast. hell, make it a crown store stone I will pay.

Food for thought.

Alorier · March 2016

Yep agreed they keep bring out new motifs , at least give us back the enchantments and dreugh wax back on deconstruction so that we can keep making these new sets

ListerJMC · March 2016

+1, but I'd guess there'd be some restrictions such as you need to know the motif you're converting the gear into.

Buffler · March 2016

Yep but it should be a straight style swap with no need for deconstruction or need for trait change.....just a style swap only.

We should push for this as its something easily done and not game changing

Vilestride · March 2016

Yes

Even if it cost you like half the original mats or something I'd be fine withit its really just the tempers and enchants that kill it.

The Uninvited · March 2016

Agreed! Why can I convert everything to Imperial but not to any other style I have learned? Silly...

Aramaethor · March 2016

Before I read up on mimic stones this is what I was hoping they were. It would be really nice especially when you use dropped set pieces which dictate the styles you have to use for the rest your gear.
