is there at least one free slot for all chars?

@orim Yes each character gets 1 free slot. That means to change outfits you must go find an outfit station and pay gold (or an outfit token) to change it. You can't have multiple outfits to toggle on the go.

Omg this is crazy! Outrageous! What was ZOS thinking? People are not that cray cray on cosmetics yet. Please revisit this decision ZOS.

Given that that only gives you one slot for one character that is very over-priced.
Yet another new system addition that i will engage with in a limited way due to poor value for money.
This is disappointing

Is it by char or by account? I read both so far

It is PER CHARACTER... they are not account wide. From Patch notes:
"Everyone will receive one free customizable outfit per character, and can unlock additional outfits in the Crown Store. These outfits are character-specific, so you can customize each character uniquely right off the bat!"

That does not necessarily mean that purchasing 1 outfit slot from the crown store will only unlock 1 slot on 1 character.
Since it looks impossible to get a clear answer from NA players, I'll wait until tomorrow and see for myself.

Won't be buying any additional ones for sure.

As a comparison DCUO had per character armouries which gave the same functionality and quite a bit more. Bought about 40 of those in total, multi-packs and individuals, they were priced for impulse purchases and it worked well.

These, well these are priced at serious commitment level and at that price just not a priority.

If they re-evaluate them I'll revisit them but we'll see.

Comparing this to Black Desert and other mmos that is still hella cheap. You have one slot for free, the customization possibilities are like half of milky way galaxy. You can dye this for free. This is paradise. This could go south and system could be locked completely behind ESO+ sub but instead they gave this to us for free and this looks pretty good compared to milking schemes of other mmos.

This is what the Suits are doing:




And this is what the Customers are doing:

Fast forward to the next base update or chapter that introduces something new (new class, level up rewards, etc) that are only available to new characters and, oops, no more slots. If anyone has bought extra outfit slots for characters, they're not gonna want to delete them. Crown purchases like this should absolutely be account wide.

If it is account-wide that's pretty cheap in my opinion. 1500 crowns, the amount you get for just being an ESO plus member, to have another outfit slot for any and all of your characters forever.

I think everyone is just counting the price of 8 slots all at once. I can understand why someone would want that many outfits, but is it so needed that you have to have it all on day one? Use the ESO plus membership crowns on it gradually, and it costs nothing extra. Or if you're not ESO plus, get it for one month and then you get enough for one outfit slot and all of the other perks for awhile.

But I'm just sayin'

I'm still betting, as it was on PTS, that it is 'per character' just like Mount Upgrades are 'per character'.

Yeah, if it is per character, then I agree it's way too much lol.

It is amusing that some actually has to BUY an outfit slot to find out whether the additional outfit slot is added to one character or all characters. They don't actually say, because I think they feel we should assume that it would be per character, like the rest of the outfit stuff. I am assuming the additional Crown Outfit Slots are per character, not account wide.

Anyway, yes, the execs are



With 15 character slots in the game, that makes for 135 outfit slots that can be purchased. At 1500 Crowns per slot, that is over 200,000 Crowns, or $1500. Start checking under the cushions, folks. The execs are waiting for their pay day.

By the way @Synthwavius since this is not actually changing your gear.. you can't dye this for free (outfits).

Earlier in this thread someone had confirmed it's per character on the live server.

I only have one character I play and would want to outfit, so whether it is account-wide or not - for a lot of us that will be a dear experience regardless. I much prefer the suggestion of a single slot vs bundle choice - over the one-size-fits-all approach of "make it account-wide and all is well because I have 14 characters".

I have been excited to spend hours to try to recreate superhero costumes, movie characters and just pretty and odd outfits for any occasion, but with only one slot I will likely not make great use of this awesome, new system - if I constantly have to overwrite what I already spent a lot of effort (and hours) into getting just right. Fingers crossed addons will come to our rescue here.

I do not mind paying a small gold fee to equip a new look , but I also do not imagine I want to discard something too easily as-is. I am a bit surprised devs would create a whole new outfit system and not let their players truly make maximum use of it for all it could add to the game and enjoyment. I would love to have themed trial runs and outfit competitions in my guilds, but at the steep fee of 60k to enter (equip + revert) that is far too costly to play around with often. It's a shame such a great update to cosmetics and RP is tainted by these firm restrictions.
