Disappointment at the Elven Hero Armor

ZorroDeMar · April 2016

I bought the elven hero armor yesterday, the armor in the intro shows a sexy hero in boots and in what it look like a skirt showing the legs skin. I was disappointment to see no legs skin on the costume only some skin from her back and no cape like the statue.

I really would like to see a more sexy costume, it will be great if they would build something like Red Sonya.

I like to see a female showing her body.

Alorier · April 2016

Doesn't look like anything close the armor that the advert showed I had wished to buy this but not look like this I'm not

Brrrofski · April 2016

Why are people always doing this?

You know you can preview the outfit on a character right?

WldKarde · April 2016

Planned to buy it yesterday evening but after previewing it on each of my female characters decided to pass.

How can a costume turn an tall athletic character into something that looks like it should be playing linebacker for the Chicago Bears. If I wanted to play as Brian Urlacher...I would fire up Madden

Oh well 2000 crowns saved I guess

ZorroDeMar · April 2016

Yes I know, but at the same time I’m on the spell that when show me something I like I buy….

LOL

Abeille · April 2016

You can preview the outfit before buying.

There are no capes in this game. Expecting an outfit to be released with a cape in a game with no capes is setting yourself up for disappointment.

You can try contacting support and asking for a refund I guess. Good luck.

ZorroDeMar · April 2016

Yes for that price, they should fix it. They made it like the statue

Because the advertisement graphic is being used as suggestive selling. Its no different than buying something in a store where the package ends up looking better than the actual product.

Now...case and point here....
ZOS has decided to only allow us to preview costumes on the active character instead of all at the time of purchase so, its very likely (not putting words or thought on the OP) that the preview looked different on one character than the other.

In my experience I did purchase this time as I felt this was more of a female design so I tested it on 4 diff characters before buying BUT it actually previews better on my alt than it looks on my main. I don't like how it looks on my main and there is NO WAY OF MANUALLY MOVING THE CAMERA AROUND during the preview.

So to the OP when you preview, you cant move your char around, get on a mount or even see all angles. Its very likely that someone will preview and say.. O K but then when they put it on and move around, as I did, I said....GEEZ I just waisted 2k in crowns.

GeneralLee · April 2016

I bought it and i really like it. I really dont get how you buy a costume without previewing it... Especially one that costs 2000 crowns. The preview funtion in this game works very good so its really your own fault imo

If I had the option to try or preview said product, I would. With this, you do.

mistermutiny89 · April 2016

I'm announcing the thread title, not the body by the way because; hello, preview button.

I bet the marketing guys are kicking themselves for allowing it to be previewed in the crown store. Another painfully dull addition to the crown store.

Again ZoS, if you put in half the effort, you will receive half the income. My mate and I both bought Xbox vouchers to have crowns at the ready for the purchase but we'll definitely hold off on this limited edition item.

Furthermore, if you finally decide to allow outfits and costumes to be dyed, people would be more inclined to buy said products.

I did. How much is a costume going to change on a mount? Why not wait till someone else buts it or someone (like has happened) posted video if the preview isn't enough for you to go on.

Thavie · April 2016

I like to see a female showing her body.

Have you tried сorn?

AlienSlof · April 2016

What disappointed me was the cut-out back on the female. Why? Why this insistence on showing skin on females, but not on males? Personally, I prefer the back-plate the male has.

It's otherwise a really nice asymmetrical design, but 2k is too much for a single costume, so I'll not be buying it.

Just to respond and I hope I'm not irritating or upsetting you.

-In my camera view, the preview cuts off the top and corners of the screen on console.
-We can spin our character but thats it.
-I guess we could try it on in multiple locations, lighting and log in and out many different characters (seems a bit much considering the preview could just "preview" in my view prior to selecting preview)
-We cant see above, below, mounted
-we cant run and walk
-want cant use any combat

*Why not wait until someone else buys it....well because its likely that I wont come across someone elsee during the limited period as I'm a casual. i literally have not seen one other player all day yesterday with it on. Thats on my VR 16, my VR5 and my level 23 alt

For me those limitations change a lot as I rarely play my character just standing still. So to answer, A LOT changes which for me, not speaking for anyone else, is my feedback and response.

ZorroDeMar · April 2016

I like the idea of costumes but at the same time I will like to see the legs skin on this one. Even when I'm disappointment not showing the legs skin, I'm not disappoint on buying the costume.

joker0137 · April 2016

I'm disappointed with 95% with the outfits on the crown store, they all look as if you should be wearing them at a party, not down in enemy thick dungeon!

LadyNalcarya · April 2016

I like the design of this costume, but there are some issues...
First of all, it still suffers from "barrel chest" problem. Like most of crown store costumes, it makes char's ribcage and shoulders broader and legs and hips become thinner. It's not very noticeable on skinny characters, but it doesnt compliment curvy ones.
Also the hood is too stretched to the sides, which makes the char look bald. I understand that the hood replaces char's hair to avoid clipping, but it would be nice to make baldness a bit less obvious.
Cape would be really nice, too. Even without proper cloth physics, it could just have basic animations like armor flaps.
Transforming leggings into pants is kinda silly, too. We already have a costume with hip cutouts so I dontg see any logic in this.

Just zoom out with your camera then preview.

I can see the whiole thing. Top to bottom and get a 360 view.

Sorry if I'm missing something, but I'm on console too abd can preview the whole thing on my toon.

Would you be happy with a stiff piece of wood carved into the shape of a cloak stuck to your characters back?

ZorroDeMar · April 2016

No, I guess that the programmers never intend to use a cape on our characters, but the idea of having a staff clocking as a cape sounds interesting

Lord_Wrath · April 2016

Most costumes remind me of wearing cheap halloween costumes as a kid. You want to look awesome but that quality isnt there.

The expression you are looking for is "case in point".

I'm not going to argue that they couldn't have made this costume better, or that they couldn't have given it a more reasonable price tag, but this one issue is easily overcome.

You could just stop by the starter towns. I saw at least a half-dozen different characters wearing this costume in the space of about 20 minutes last night.

Or, there's always helpful players like Elloa who are known for posting videos of such items as they are released:

All my robes are already made of wood

So it wouldnt be much worse.

Loralai_907 · April 2016

I like it. No, it doesn't look just the way it should. But honestly, the lack of the destroyed cape is far more of a bummer than the lack of exposed leg skin. It would have been really awesome if they could have made it look just the way we expected. But for whatever reason that wasn't the case. I still like it though, I just don't see it as the same costume. I would prepare yourselves for the Breton costume, that one isn't even going to come close since they are not able to do cloaks.

The only option when previewing items in the crown store is to spin your character. Thats it

^^^ This x 1 million. I thought the overall models for the armor were ok but the colors... ugh. Why must every armor costume in this game be such drab colors? Always greens and browns, so icky. I don't want hot pink and electric blue, but something besides drab earthtones would be so much nicer for these costumes. Or else, like this guy said, just let them be dye-able.

I have only bought one costume from the entire crown store selection, but if we could change the colors, I would buy a lot more - probably to the point of needing to actually put in extra money for more crowns.

The outfit looks good, not 2k crowns good, but still good.

Prib 500 crowns good as 700 or more are the prices of the crown costumes with three versions
