Would you like to customize your Banker or Merchant?

Nestor · February 2018

As much as I would like to be able to customize the Banker or Merchant, there is one reason I am reluctant to see it happen. Group Events, Dungeons and Trials. People will pop out their Assistant in between fights, sometimes one will do the Banker, one will do the Merchant. If they all look different it could be confusing in that situation as to who the assistant is, and which one you need to talk to. Also, during those events, you really don't want the assistant out during combat as that can cause lag. Now we can quickly see if a merchant is out, but if they are all different, how would we know to make an announcement to the group to put it away, esp in Trials.

Besides, you just know this is going to cost Crowns if they implement it. As it is I summon my assistant open the menu, do the business, and send the assistant packing. It's not like I ever really see them.

Far above any cosmetic changes, I'd like a forced automatic despawn after 2 minutes of no interaction (except when placed inside a home of course).

Yes, yes, yes! So many possibilities

Just to let you know, this is already been a discussion at ZOS.

I'd support it but am wary of Zos making it cost

It sounds like something I’d enjoy doing. Although, I have a feeling that ZOS would try to monetize it in some shape or fashion.

Source ?

All I know is that they're considering selling two new "assistant skins" in the crown store, but I've never heard of customizable assistants.

SpAEkus · February 2018

Yeah, I'd like to super-glue them to a chair.

And if they move again and close the window again...then I beat them with a rubber duck.

DeadlyRecluse · February 2018

If I could dress them up in the outfit system, that would be great.

Ol' Tythis would look ridiculous, who cares how much gold it cost.

Nighn_9 · February 2018

Yes, yes, yes! So many possibilities

Yeah would be cool to give them a currently owned costume or polymorph. Perhaps even be able to dye their costume too

Only to revert the grumpy merchant back to her original state of constant grumpiness. Sometime in the past, they gave her a creepy smile.

Yolokin_Swagonborn · February 2018

I'm opposed to this and here is why:

At this point, there is no quality of life or cosmetic upgrade ZOS will add to the game without making it costs a ton of gold just to get you to buy a stupid token for $3.50

It can cost up to 27,250 gold just to make an outfit with the motifs you already own. Imagine what ZOS would charge for the banker.

I am burned out on new customization options because I know ZOS will ruin them with a cash scheme.

QuebraRegra · February 2018

Yes, yes, yes! So many possibilities

let's go a step further and have appearance customization for summoned pets... screw the WARDEN bear, I want my SANGUINE'S BLACK BATTLE GOAT!

I hate to do this... but would pay money for customizable combat pets (at least in PVE).

MilwaukeeScott · February 2018

I don't care

QuebraRegra · February 2018

I already don't like te bankers/merchants, and non combat pets in group content. They should go away utomatically when combay begins. I've seen some 600CP+ DPS players do less damage in PUGs than their bankers... LOL!

Yes! With skimpy skirts, you forgot the skimpy skirts!

Juju_beans · February 2018

I'd like to dress my banker up as a butler if I have him placed in my homes.

I didn't know she used to be grumpy. I hate her creepy smile. I'd prefer grumpy. If they toned down her smile, I'd like her.

Slurg · February 2018

Yes, I’d like to put a cute little Argonian costume on my banker so I can tell him apart from the others.

Lylith · February 2018

other than wishing they offered more services, i have no complaints.

Sevn · February 2018

Yes, yes, yes! So many possibilities

Most definitely. I don't care that I'm only going to see them briefly, I still want those brief moments to be eye pleasing.

BuddyAces · February 2018

This would be great. So would being able to customize your mount. Lots of stuff for you customize on all of this, could go hog wild. Sell the stuff at the achievement vendor. Problem is that ZOS would put ALL of this on the crown store. Meh, one can wish.

@BuddyAces
What do you mean customize your mount?

Not against, exactly, but I just feel like there are so many other things I'd rather see worked on in the game. Even from a cosmetic standpoint, more hairstyles, costumes, mounts, pets, new smaller houses, and furniture all are higher on the list for me.

Also, I would prefer enhancements to functionality first, like:

Stop them from walking around
Merchant can repair
Banker allows you to list items in guild store
Settings we control for making them deactivate upon combat (a toggle preference)

I can see how this would be nice for housing, but that's about it.

I was just thinking yesterday how nice it would be to have different skins for the bankers and merchants, so we don't have to see the same ones over and over. So annoying when you get out your banker, and there are two other players near you who have his identical brothers.

While they're at it let us rename our assistants like we can rename our pets so there aren't a million Tythis's running around with a dungeon group!

I'd be fine if they only looked customized in my home but looked like their defaults in the game environment outside the home to keep lag down.

10/10 I would like to give them custom clothes... especially specially dyed too.

SydneyGrey · February 2018

Yes, yes, yes! So many possibilities

I'd want it to be a complete skin ... different race, face and clothes. I'd like to have several options in the crown store to choose from, not just a single one.
