    Yeah, it is shameful, that they can get a 500 crown outfit right, but not one which costs 5-times as much. Just look at those casual wear outfits which came out lately - they look nice on both, males and females (well not the dress, but the male outfit). The male one is even better looking on female characters (given that they need wider shoulders to create this look).

    Theyre rather simplistic tho. Not a lot that can go wrong there... tho Im sure ZOS is fully capable of screwing up even that :P

    These simplistic outfits do not distort the body like so many other outfits do - if I wear the male one on my female characters, they do neither compress nor bloat my chest area, the waist line is fine (neither skinny nor bloated) and my characters have female hips - and it is a male outfit, still it looks female enough to wear it - but like I said, it looks better on a female with wider shoulders.

    I'll just add my voice to this. Grabbed it early, sadly without waiting to see it in game on others. I've been quite happy with previous crown purchases, but this one was a lesson learned. It literally ensured I'll not be an early adopter of anything visual on the crown store again.

    I'm resigned to having thrown away $20 (I'll simply never use this), I support the game and development. But the truth is if it were hassle free I'd get a refund and use the crowns on other, better things.

    I think it would make a real difference in consumer confidence if it were reworked. Just my view, no drama.

    I did not buy it, but I really hope, that ZOS has some empathy and can feel the pain this is causing to those customers, who like to buy stuff from the crown store. It would be good if they show some obligingness in the case they would not want to change the outfit - and give those, who do not like this outfit crowns back to be spend on other things. It would not be a loss for them, but a win, to show some obligingness - they messed up, they either should better it or take it back.

    Sadly I think this is their plan. Obviously they have had time to craft a response, especially with the initial reaction to the costume being overwhelmingly poor.

    @ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_JessicaFolsom care to communicate with your community?

    Excellent write up. I didn't care before this post but when I see people paid 2000 crowns for this I understand why they are unhappy with their purchase.

    I actually use to play a game where devs and art people interacted in the forums. They would give previews and the like of what costumes where coming out. And people would complain, why does fred have to make this one cant sally do it?

    Makes me wonder if some of the good and the bad isnt them deciding ok this one will be shaped better and this one with fit like a sack. But just a matter of which people were assigned to create it.

    funniest thing about this whole thread is that there hasn't been 1 response from the dev team explaining this costume :smiley:

    I didnt buy but I recommend everyone to just contact customer support and demand your crown points back lol

    If I go the the supermarket and buy a carrot... I come home and check out the carrot and its rotten... I'd go back and get my money back.
    Should be the same thing.

    yes, but in the gaming world there is a TOS which basically says "We let you buy this carrot, even it might be rotten, you might not even be able to eat it and it might not be a carrot at all, but don't hold us accountable for when you die trying".

    The only real complain I have with priest of green is this silly mouth-cover, which is not even leveled correctly. I would want that cover to be removed, it really ruins the costume.

    Actually, I like that priest costume even though I didn't buy it as I don't have the crowns. For some reason it looks a bit barbaric and mystical, in a naturalist way. I didn't see these kind of costumes in ESO before. So, it makes it quite unique. Sadly, they are taking it down so early.

    Anyway, @ZOS_JessicaFolsom can you please comment about Breton Hero? When can we expect the reworked variant with a proper hood?

    I bought the priest of green, because beside the mouth cover it looks nice - and I really hope that this outfit will get a different cover or gets it removed - the one from darkstride helmet is ok - well, not on argonians and khajiit, there it looks weird, so I would prefer to have the mouth cover removed for good. What is the meaning of it anyway - anxiety of pollen allergy?

    Also the ID of the collectible is very low, somewhere in the 100's while new costumes are around 380-390'ish now, seems this was added a long time ago before being released.

    It still does not explain the poor quality of the costume, as ESO generally has pretty stellar graphics right there, full of details.

    @aheck1111_ESO, yeah, I've been saying, roughly the same thing. The hero costumes were one of the first things datamined when the Crownstore went live. So these have been sitting around for quite some time.
