    Knowing ZOS it will first of take 3 to 4 years to introduce transmogrification. It will only be available to ESO+ who will then have an option to buy a transmogrification token from crown store at 4000 crowns per item of armor :)

    Aside from the exaggerations, this is probably not far from the truth.

    It won't take 3-4 years. It will probably be within the next 12 months. Why do I think that? I think they have already started working on the base design. If so, this is when ZOS needs to be telling us what they are thinking so that they can gauge some community reaction to it before the details are set in stone that they might want to reconsider. Not necessarily revealing how they intend to monetize it, but what limitations they are going to be placing on it.

    The ESO Plus people will get a benefit, but Crown Store benefits will be released immediately for everyone. I think they will follow the Dye model. To this end, you might be able to buy one-time transmogrification in the Crown Store for any motif, whether you know it or not. Certain motifs will always be available, while others will be for a limited time only. ESO Plus will only be able to do ones they know, but they will be able to do it unlimited.

    It is not clear whether they would allow "non-craftable motifs" to be used by ESO Plus, but they could certainly do it with individual tokens from the Crown Store.

    It will not be 4000 Crowns. It will be much cheaper. Let's say 2000 Crowns for the entire set, including weapons.

    The token model becomes more complicated due to armor and weapon components, so my guess is that the token will convert the entire armor and weapon set that is currently being worn to that style. That means they will be bound.

    It will be interesting to see what they have in mind.

    If you look at dyes and how they work in relation to subscribers and the crown store, it makes sense to me that subscribers would probably get unlimited access to change what they want when they want and anyone else would be restricted to buying limited options on the crown store.

    TRANSMOG will be Crown Store Only
    Firstly, there is no way this will be available without spending money.

    Secondly, this is not World of Warcraft. I have recently returned to TESO and am already disappointed at the amount of silly fluff in the game.

    Best and fairest would be to have crafting motifs first and then with like 5 crafting style ressources (nickel, daedra heart, etc) + an amount of normal ressources (metal, wood, etc) you can change one of your pieces in the style you have.

    Like that, crafting ('cause you need to be 10 for the last motifs) and crafting motifs search would be truly useful once more.

    + make more money by selling rarest motifs :3

    Sorry for saying this but are you mad? connecting a basic mmo funcions to a subscription?

    Thats discriminating, knowing the fact that even wow dosent requer subscriptioned account to transmog something, and i am talking about WOW. Further more even in SWTOR dosent requer sub base to change your outfit.
    Before you say, no i am not playing wow sience wotlk, and i have no iterest to go back there.
    But to be honest makign the mog system directly connected, to the microtransaction system including subb reqs
    it is a scamm.

    No i am not a poor guy i can get what ever i want and i am not a scrub eaither,(im just not stupid sorry to dissapoint you all) but you cant siriusly think the transmogs should be like this and this and that.
    Transmog is a basic cosmetic system, wich allows the players to change their armour pieces lookm withouth further money charges, including subb fee, crown store, and dlc's as well.

    Sure if ZOS want to milk this system too they will reciev a very bad volumed feedback from most of the players. And they will also going to change this system (if ever going to be implamented in this way what you mentioned) wich will also consumes alot of time, coding, work time, money, and so on to change the system to that way what will be asked for in feedbacks.


    I gladly welcome premium transmog setts wich will be only availabel in via crownstore, thats fine.
    And definetly no restriction about wich item you can transmog only, like heavy can be moged as heavy, and light to light, no no no, in that case the mog system will become a dead idea so fast then even ZOS didn't have time to react how much money and resource was throwed away.

    For my last sentence: Dont be a greede j..rk. This is a basic thing and every mmo have it, it should be free for everyone withouth any DLC, and witouth any crownstore thing.

    If you guys want to spend so much money for supporting ZOS Ask them to open a Donation site so you can tranfer all of your incomes fo them. Because i will not going to pay for a transmog system wich is based on microtransaction and subscription fee and dlc reqs. This is not how it works in MMO basis.

    I think it will only used by ESO+ members. Otherwise you will not be able to TRANSMOG anything. It's something esthetical, it does not affect gameplay and it's possible to put it entirelly behind a paywall without affecting the gameplay.

    Anyone expecting otherswise: You are very nice persons, and I hope someday the people in charge thinks the way you do.

    I voted "TRANSMOG will be easily available for anyone (without DLC/Subscription) and NOT on the Crown Store".

    They will receive a tidal wave of criticism (both from this game's players and the MMO community in general) if they paywall this. I really doubt Zenimax is stupid enough to make that blunder. Although you never know.

    :D:D:D

    I know everything is paywalled in this game, but transmog is something literally every MMO on the market launches with. Paywalling such a basic feature would be PR suicide.

    Just STOP IT. You have no clue what you are talking about. "Everything is pay walled in this game" pfft. Go play SWTOR then come here with that BS. SWTOR you have to be a sub to even equip purple items. You can only go on so many missions (dungeons) or PvP matches a week unless you sub. You also only get access to 1 of 3 crafting abilities and only like 2 of the 6 or so crew.

    You can't sprint, I'm not even sure if you can have a companion with you unless you pay.

    If they offer a non-Crown, non-Subscription method, they will undoubtedly have some in-game hoops to jump through for people. You can only use it if you have a rare drop item that is capped to allow only a set number per month, across all players on the megaserver. There will be a chance of failure, just to make it interesting. Each piece of gear consumes one of the rare drop items.

    If you use the Crown method, there will be no restrictions. At all. They will practically hold your hand all the way. When you are done, a VO done by Sean Connery will congratulate you and commend you on your perfection. When wearing it, other players will see you glow faintly, based on how many you are wearing, there will be fanfare when you enter a room, and birds will flitter about your head. However, you will pay per item.

    ESO Plus people will probably be somewhere in the middle. For sure, no VO, no birds, no glow, and no fanfare. The transmogrification will go away if the subscription lapses, but it will return when renewed.

    Or, something like that. Probably not exactly. :smile:

    Probably yeah, and that rare drop item would have 0.0000000000000000000000000000000000000001% drop rate as always with ZoS, even if it's only lootable in a DLC that you payed ^^'

    As they said on the community news, it will be undoubtedly hard to implement, but we have to keep thinking positive & believe in them, because by finding bugs & other things for the ZOS Team to address in due time, we are helping them create something worth playing, & in turn, makes us look like a part of a team, a team with the outsiders perspective.

    But getting back on topic, it will take a lengthly process & the only thing we can do is wait patiently until it drops in one of the upcoming patches, so the best thing to do really is to just scour the forums, do what we do best whilst upholding the forum rules, Answering questions for others & keeping the entire face of the community Lively.

    If you see me anywhere. Know that I am sitting back with a bag of popcorn, watching as ESO burns the goodwill of its player base with practices that only disrespects the players time like it did to me and many others...

    If a game does not respect your time, best thing to do is move on from it and find something else.

    Well if ZoS do as Blizzard did you can basically use both craft and loot items which I personnel hope the do like Blizzard do that way you don't need so damn many mats if want change you look like we do today

    We won't get it any time soon.
    That recent interview wasn't the first time they said something is in work and the fact that no timeframe was mentioned isn't really helpful either.
    Also they don't want to slash their custome sales which are even more money generating since dying costumes cost money too.

    Transmog will drive motif sales... it should be FREE.

    Agree, but the question is how we think ZoS will do it and not how they should do it.


    Just look at costume dyes. Making it free would have increased costumes sales, but they still decided to put it behind a paywall.

    I've already made a full post on how i think it should be implimented, before i knew it was confirmed. However, it should be a rare drop in game that is somewhat farmable and paired with a crown store identical item at the value of a mimic stone for convience and revenue.

    I also think it should be based off motifs as it will add value there aswell.

    Let's consider the facts:
    - It's a highly requested feature
    - Players that want Transmog the most are crafters/RPers: regular buyers of Housing/Crown items
    - Player base has proven that it has no spending sense, feeding ZoS money for cash crates and expensive mounts
    - ZoS has a track record for illogical choices with game design
    - ZoS loves money and bending players over
