1200 crowns for broken garbage?! Thief Personality Rant

dsalter · November 2016

feels like this was raised in price compared to the other ones of equal quality since there are so many nightblade stealth lovers in the game and they thought they could feed on them...

This is mind shriven thief that needs skooma so bad.

Kendaric · November 2016

I was looking forward to get it, but at 1200 crowns for THAT? No way. It should have been 700 crowns, that would actually be ok considering the commander personality is 700 crowns and looks better.

Pretty much this. Like another thread says, this looks less "thief" and more "tweaker". Really needs some swagger injecting into it (the personality, not the tweaker).

Enslaved · November 2016

Tbh, best personalities so far are these that came in 500 crowns bundle. Assassin one is pretty much ***, since it pulls out the damn knife no matter what you do, and commander is also waste of crowns. I should saved them for something better.

I am glad I waited for comments for thief personality, you guys saved me 1200 crowns.

Commander isn't actually that bad. My only issue with it is the way the character's shoulders drop too far - looks like he dislocates them every time he puts his hands behind his back.

Is this fix going to fix why all three previews of the personality are the same and don't really do anything, @ZOS_GinaBruno ?

I reminds me of the assassin run animation, which looks pathetic. The difference is, you don't pay for the assassin one so there's nothing to really be upset about. I couldn't imagine paying 1.2k crowns for this garbage.

Nerf sorc.

I HATE the run animation on that one! I've always told people it looked like a stereotypical vampire running with his cape over his face.

That vampire needs to give up on that high fat, sweetened junk blood

Khajiiti blood. Too much sugar

Jim_Pipp · November 2016

Has anyone put the thief personality on a Khajiit in the werewolf lord polymorph?

I just previewed it and they seemed to compliment eachother well, but given these reviews I am reluctant to buy a (discounted) pack of crowns for the thief personality.

xenowarrior92eb17_ESO · November 2016

quite disappointed in it... tbh it feels like assassin personality without emote change and just a new idle animation... since the normal running is identical to assassin... no emotes changing... and well the current bugged out walking... also the personality bugs out when u weapon swap or use maneuver or get major expedition...

I agree sometimes a well 1 or 2 hours re-found option would be appreciated! but atm this seems a rip-off...

SolidusPrime · November 2016

I've loved all of the other previous personalities and moods. When I previewed this one on my thief though, there was just something off-putting about it that I couldn't quite put my finger on. I didn't like the way he stood, and it seemed kind of...bland? Not as crisp and lively as the assassin one.

My thief has long been my main, so of course I was excited for this. Not salty with the devs though. It has to be hard to make something aesthetic like this that is going to please everyone.

Doctordarkspawn · November 2016

I bought it when I got a month of sub to dye some costumes and my turbans, but I would have never got it otherwise. I realize 'thief' is a somewhat hard thing to work with emote wise but ya'll can do better than this, ZOS.

Korah_Eaglecry · November 2016

Considering how quickly they fixed female armors. Im willing to bet we'll get the "fix" for the Thief Personality in ooooh never.

How is it that even simple things, like these cosmetic items, mounts and pets seem to always be bugged when they're first released. It's obvious that customer satisfaction is not a priority which is a huge shame. How long can it take to actually test a simple animation... costume or mount to make sure that everything is working? 10 minutes?

Come on guys, pick your feet up here you're only pissing people off.

I really wanted to like this, but I just can't. I look like I'm going to fall over whenever I walk.

Even funnier is that a lot of this inventory is sat on for months. It was about 6 months between the Breton Hero Costume being datamined, and it being put on sale for example.

The stuff is there for these extended periods of time, and still not properly run through QA.

Which, if this is a known bug, why didn't they make a note of it on the update they posted, too? Hey, we know this bug exists, but we want you to know it'll be fixed. The Breton hero's cloak was awful looking, and I still regret buying that. I do get the feeling ZOS has a "they'll buy it because it's time limited" mentality and aren't really putting their all into making the Crown Store the best it can be, and if people get burned from that, it'll make them less likely to go back.

A premium store SHOULD be just that. Premium.

Being robbed of 1200 crowns simply adds realism to a thief RP item

Replying to this just so everybody has to look at the beauty of your quote again.

Ethromelb14_ESO · November 2016

Furious is the best personality so far, IMO. I wish they would make a smooth one and make sure not to have the character do anything stupid or too outlandish. Zen, sometimes simple is better. Give a few cool nice looking animations that affect emotes a little and make players feel good and more immersed in their characters, and call it a day. And for goodness sake stop raising the price for crap that doesn't match the value of the merchandise, otherwise I definitely won't be buying a darn thing.

The only thing I'm going to feel like I missed out on is being jerked around. And that will make me very happy.

While they're at it, ask them to add an emote or three in there.

Maybe an animation that turns kneeling in to an animation that makes the player look like they're hiding something in the ground and stepping on it to pat it down and keep it safely hidden until they can return.

Or a "props" animation that lets them pull out a pouch full of coin to check the contents and bite a coin while counting to see if it's real. Thanks.

xaraan · November 2016

Yeah, this personality was pretty lackluster. They definitely need to add a couple emotes in the mix and fix the animation to keep this from being a complete rip off. Very disappointing.

nimander99 · November 2016

I still want a dang perma Torch emote/stance! Cmon ZoS! Take meh money$$$$

Karius_Imalthar · November 2016

You should try starting a dialog first rather than raging out. They stated they were aware of the problem and are working to fix it. Skipping right to ranting doesn't look good.

Sheezabeast · November 2016

Here's hoping the Dutchess personality is priced like the Commander and is as awesome as I'm hoping it is!

Does the reaction come as a surprise considering the real money cost? Had I spent 1200 crowns on that thing, I'd be pretty angry too.

Hey @ZOS_GinaBruno - this is definitely still broken. And beyond the odd standing, I'm getting some weird weapon jiggling when you stop moving while crouched (at the same time as the stand animation). It's the most noticeable with the bow, as the quiver jiggles in like a 45-90 degree arc while the standing animation plays. May want to be sure both bugs are quashed when this is (eventually) fixed.

Do you know if there's an ETA on rolling out this fix? Given that the people most likely to buy this are stealth-oriented, it's pretty much a deal breaker for this personality to look like garbage in stealth.

ArchMikem · December 2016

I got the personality as well, mostly cause I loved the standing idle pose and animation, it's MUCH more realistic than just standing there staring forward. But then I started to walk around...

The running animation (not sprinting) is so...no. I can kinda get why your character looks like their reaching out, kinda like trying to do a pick pocket. But ALL THE TIME? Every single time I move forward my hand just shoots out in front of me like I'm half about to pull a Super Man flight. Besides who even runs like that?

Lol yeah. Admittedly it's tough to make running animations look unique, but it definitely dramatically exaggerated gesturing well beyond what was necessary. I don't expect style changes though - just fix the damn bugs!

SanSan · December 2016

The other store bought personalities are bugged to me. When i usually walk or run my weapon tends run with it. My staff becomes upside down with the assassin personality.
