TRANSMOG CONFIRMED! Weapon dyes confirmed! Things you are most excited to transmog over

Rawst · January 2018

I actually like red weapons. (I know, I know, how can I, I am a horrible person...) I also don’t mind the ugly helmets cos I play with “hide helmet” on most of the time.
Will be nice to be able to change dropped sets to a style I actually like, though. Nice qol feature anyway.

It would be lame if they didn't allow appearance chance of monster sets.

Arguably the monster sets are the aesthetically worst looking items in the game. I get a shudder every time I go to a dye station and I get a close up of the Grothdarr set for a few seconds before I switch to the costumes tab.

Your point has become a moot one ages ago with the costume function. There isn't a single piece of equipment that can't be hidden or changed with a costume, so why on earth whouldn't you be able to change everything with transmog either.

It's fine if you think they look unique and want to keep them, no one's forcing you to change the appearance on any item, but don't force your personal choice down on anyone else either. That's why they call it freedom of choice.

This, infact endgame gear forces everyone to look the same and there isn't any variety in that

We don't even know how Transmog even works, since no details have been released yet. But I would certainly transmute ugly sets like Briarheart (Barbaric?) and Necropotence (Argonian) to something that looks better if the option was introduced. I doubt that unique items like monster sets will be able to be changed though.

I don't know what I will do. I just hope that the material to do it is available in the overland world.

RaddlemanNumber7 · January 2018

None of the above.

I expect I'll be using transmog only to get rid of mis-matched sets. A few of my characters will get their gloves and belt buckles changed to match the rest of their gear. A few weapons will also get their style changed, assuming that's possible. I hope my Altmers will be able to get rid of their Argonian and Nord style staves. Characters that use costumes or disguises won't get any changes.

you mean the armor we worked hard to earn that looks ***/cool so we want to transmog over it or to it? I like the way vma dw looks but by your logic I cant transmog and if I use them I will have a dps loss...

Just because you think somethings ugly, that doesn’t mean ZOS isn’t going to let you change the look of a unique item that is themed very particularly. I seriously doubt it will happen, and I don’t think it should. It’s not like a set that drops from a zone or dungeon that has a style; something that is literally presented as a piece of a defeated monster shouldn’t be changed to look like any old style.

I can however wear a costume that makes it look like any old style? I'd say ZO$ have other ideas than you.

Ya'll smokin something if you think we're going to be able to change more than just the style. Changing an items visual level and changing unique drops, really? We can't even currently convert everything Imperial or Morag Tong....You guys are putting the cart before the horse. Prepare to whinge and complain when it goes live on the PTS. And for those cries to be ignored by Zos.

this, especially as originally the devs said on eso live that a transmog system would never happen as it was too difficult, wonder what changed

If we are so lucky, that something actuallu usable like transmog is coming, i would be exited to always use level 1-15 gear on all my toons. Other more advanced gear is just too complicated and decorated, not practical for adventuring. Stolen clothes are also one im waiting to use in mogs. For staff users, i wouldlove to hide that stupid staff.. Always played unarmed mage types in TES and the staff is just in the way, not practical.

But lets face the sad fact. The system will most likely be as succesful as "barbershop".. Needing some real money tokens or annoyijg grindfest.

What changed was the massive outcry for something that is such a staple and simple element, and that every other MMO has figured out how to do even at launch. There has been constant asking for this feature in the playerbase for at least the last 2 years, and supported by the majority of us here.

So for all those naysayers who say it's pointless to ever raise an issue with the dev team, that's simply not true. In the last 2 years I can think of a dozen or more cases where eventually the devs did take in feedback also here from the forums, and changed something. And I'm glad they did in this case too.

However, I'm pretty sure most of us are aware that we are still missing the details for this system. And if they introduce a transmog system that is either a big crown store cash cow, a tedious and endless grind or a haphazardly half-handed implemented system, I'm sure they would get a lot of negative feedback, and rightfully so.

But until then, let us at least have the opportunity to hope they implement this just right for once, and that it ends up as an all positive addition to the game.

There's nothing inherently hard with making a transmogrify system from a programming POV. It's simply a small edit in the database that says object X will now have Z instead of Y in the style field, and then the game engine will render the said object in the specified style. There are already a few examples of sets that drop in multiple styles, namely PvP sets that drop in any of the 3 alliance styles based on your alliance (ex. Morag Tong), as well as sets that have had their name and/or style and even bind changed at some point, such as Toxic Defiance (Xyvkin, BoP) which became Swamp Raider (Argonian, BoE). So it's mostly a permission and UI change that will allow players to do it, instead of just the developers.

wheres all 3 choice, necro and valk set combo is aweful, i have to hide helm and wear a costume just to play.

Ugly dropped sets. Have you SEEN the morag tong / marksman set?! What were they thinking?! Combine the two and you look like a bloated Alakir guard!

Thank God no more hiding that ugly necropotence (argonian style) behind a RP costume.

nothing. I am excited about nothing. unless I'm misunderstanding the limitations of this system? I am not excited at all, I'm disappointed. and i was prepared to be disappointed, and I still couldn't imagine the depth of said disappointment. the way its presented right now? it might as well not be in the game.

you all should read the direct quotes.

https://www.elderscrollsonline.com/en-us/news/post/26281

With the Outfit System, you can change the appearance of your equipment to reflect any of your known crafting styles by visiting an Outfit Station (formerly known as Dye Stations). Whether you're wearing Light, Medium, or Heavy armor, you'll be able to alter its appearance, allowing you to always look your very best – and exactly how you want.

You will have access to one unique outfit that you can customize using gold, but you will also be able to acquire Outfit Change Tokens and additional Outfit Slots from the Crown Store, allowing you to have a variety of outfits ready to go at a moment's notice

I have bolded the important parts

and this means you cannot transmog to those looks.

consider this.

is weapon part of the OUTFIT or can it be changed individually? what happens if I want to wear an outfit on and alt that uses different weapon type. what happens to the outfit if i change roles and with it - weapons. how exactly DOES this work for alts? so I cannot just change the look of individual armors, this sounds like an outfit stamp, similar to costumes. so.. to reiterate the weapon issues, is that a separate stamp you have to pay for?

I know you are all excited about changing looks, but... look at specifics of HOW the system is described to work so far. don't get hyped.

Asardes · January 2018

Outfit is probably just a type of costume, one that can be customized, hiding your body armor just like the others, with some parts of it purchased from the crown store. From what they said it seems that trasmog is free of charge at the normal dye station. It would be cool to just scroll trough the styles learned and see the piece change it's appearance, not just it's coloring.

Seriously, it sounds like they are doing a half-assed system and trying to charge money for it anyway.

I would have been happy to have a Motif Costume for every completely collected set and weapon dying. But I will take what I can get.
