Restyle gear to any known motif?

Jim_Pipp · October 2016

Yes

1) Makes crafting feel useful again AS well as being a sink for crafting resources.
2) Hours of fun designing the look of my character (instead of following the BiS fashion trends).
3) Does not affect gameplay or anyone else's experience.

But it better be a crafting thing.. NOT A CROWN STORE ITEM!!

Crafting is already behind these new set items.. and with out jewelry crafting they are even further behind.

What I would like is for them to have styles and material morphs you can craft and sell.. This would allow you to change not only the Style but also allow players to use lower level materials.. So if you liked the style of Breton Iron armor you could craft a morph for it...

This needs to be a crafting feature not a crown store item!!!

Go farm your *** materials and craft that damn armor yourself. If this keeps up we will just log in, BOOM, max CP character, all motifs, all materials, 350 skill points. Don't like your armor? Just re-fu*kalize it to another motif. Don't like your skill point choices? Here, have a free re-specc kid meal.

What are you doing guys? What are you actually doing to this game?
I for one prefer PLAYING when I actually play, but I don't know about you guys.

There is and should ONLY BE ONE way of doing this, and that is if you own Imperial edition and you can change items to Imperial motif. Anything else is just blatantly stupid and will ruin the economy of this game.

Unless you're an ingame milionaire, making crafting/motif choices should be hard. Think, plan and commit.

This whole comment is over the top and ridiculous, we can't use non-crafted sets and also have them be the style we want (unless we just so happen to like the style it drops with), all people want is to make our armor look better. This rant is just stupid, do you have the same malice for costumes as well? This is purely a discussion about cosmetics and has nothing to do with anything else that you brought up.

As of their last statement on this, they don't have any "short-term plans". They are fully aware that players want it, though. I'm hoping that if we give it enough attention, they'll change their minds! Remember, everything about One Tamriel was also in the "no plans currently" department just a year ago. Now it's the major feature of this quarter's update. Let's keep the pressure up!

I can see why we can't change the trait but changing the style should definitely be a feature

@Shogunami I'm real confused here. Why are you so anti a completely cosmetic thing? How is wanting to be able to make dropped gear "prettier" making anything easier? Drop sets only drop in their specific style (aside from the very very few sets that took on a new style recently).... and you can't craft dropped gear... I just don't understand what point you are trying to get across.

phreatophile · October 2016

Yes

Any motif and style level of that motif. Without this, who cares, many of the high levels of each style are ugly.

I want to be able to use some lower level styles (basically any without gigantic unattached hip flaps)

@Shogunami

Thanks for the tip! Let me just go craft some Spriggan gear in the new Hollowjack style . . . Oh wait that's right you can't craft drop sets so I am stuck using Bosmer style. Your logic is terribly flawed in your argument. What would changing the style of gear, which is purely cosmetic, have to do with suddenly having max CP and all skill points from the start? It would not affect the economy either because I would imagine changing the style would bind the gear to you account. I am a dedicated and old time player as you called it and I openly welcome a feature like this. So I applaud you on you amazing and clearly well thought out constructive post /s

Oreyn_Bearclaw · October 2016

I honestly dont see why this isnt already in game (not counting imperial). Other than TBS in a raid group, I really don't run much crafted gear anymore. Not a lot of point to buying a motif I will never use.

DMuehlhausen · October 2016

Yes

If they don't do this then might as well put in appearance slots. So we can make something but not dump all the mats into traits and stuff, or you could then year like low level Soul Shriven (to keep the slave look) but compete in Raids

Appearance slots would be nice.

I wish all our crafting motifs didn't go to waste as they do now.

They have already implemented it with the Imperial style, why not the others?

Just give us transmog or custom 'costumes'

Oh maybe make it a uncommon or rare writ drop! And have a crown version that's bound no p2w this way money incentives may get zos on board

They haven't really. Unless they changed it, you can't convert non-craftable sets, which makes the feature pretty useless. Someone - Matt, I think? - said it's not as simple as we think, so they're not planning to implement it. I'd just read it as "we have better things to spend money on", because every other game out there can do transmog, so clearly it's not an impossible technological feat. And this means that we just need to somehow convince ZOS that it is, indeed, worth the effort.

nimander99 · October 2016

Yes

Absolutely. It still doesn't change the need for making new gear sets so it shouldn't effect the economy negatively. I'm still irritated that I cant transmute set pieces to Imperial, just crap gear.

But we know that the code has the ability to Transmute due to Imperial transmute. Shouldn't be to difficult to do it with other styles.

Panda_iMunch · October 2016

Yes

I've spent many days grinding the motifs for my crafter only to realize that 90% of craft-able sets are garbage and can only really use the motifs if I leveled a new character. Seeing as making a bunch of goods sets will take time, I would love to have this band aid fix!

DaniAngione · October 2016

Yes

Yes, but it should have some cost.

I think that 50% of the base materials (and 10% for cp160) + 2 style items of the desired style is a good call.

Or perhaps 1 style item + 1 improvement item of the quality of the item would be more fitting and give a nice twist and more vigour for the economy without feeling grindy.

EDIT:
However, I think that there are some items that shouldn't be able to be re-styled:
Undaunted Monster head sets

static_recharge · October 2016

Yes

Suggested system to convert ANY item's style into another.

Use an item as the sacrificial template. The sacrificed item is destroyed in the process.
Both items have to be the same level and for the same slot (Both have to be chest items for example)
Both items quality level must be the same or the resultant item will be converted to the lowest quality of the two.
Once this process is complete the resultant item will be the style of the sacrificed item and be bound to your account.

This stem will greatly benefit dropped sets and styling, help keep the economy up for materials and even create a market for dummy items that crafters will make for the sole purpose of changing a style into something more desirable. Crafted items will be unaffected as you'd have to recreate the item anyway.

Please pass on this option @ZOS_GinaBruno to the required people.

Edit: crafted items could still get converted to non crafted styles if desired.

NoMoreChillies · October 2016

Yes

Fallen_Ray · October 2016

Yes

I agree for players using crafted gear it's a waste of materials to re create a duplicate set in Hollow Jack for example. Restyle should be possible. It can be done by using style materials on a crafting bench.
Example: Use amber marble to style a sword into hollow jack, and be able to turn in to the previous style or any other.

Yup my armour style is so old I feel like I'm running around in flares,platforms and an afro

Yes, gives a reason to level crafting in this game since every dropped set is better than the currently available crafted sets. You will at least be able to change the look of dropped sets.

Can you take a look at my post? I gave some ideas there on how this system would work. Maybe you can copy and paste it on the main post of your thread.

Just so we can make drop sets look how we want. Imagine restyling a drop set and then wearing a mask or partial costume to achieve the desired look. Instead we look like beggars wearing mismatched gear or full costumes to try and cover up the hideous styles that some sets get.

Wow.

Just wow.

It's cosmetics. Why you have to be a little B about it?

Also, I don't use crafted sets. So how am I going to restyle my fugly Akaviri Dragonguard armor?

The only reason I see somebody would say no to this is if he thinks that would take away costume revenue out of ZOS' pockets.
But this could easily be a CS thing.
It is cosmetics after all.

Mettaricana · October 2016

Or even if zos stopped using the same generic breton primal and bosmer style for every friggan set in the game would it kill ya to use grim, xivkyn, glass , yokuda, or something other than default race junk.... those sets are tired old and lost their luster in light of the newer styles maybe go back and update them to look and dye better so we actually want them
