Someone should have said it. The Daggerfall Paladin Costume is terrible.

Yes, I am not a professional concept artist. And no, I am not a fan of everything shining and pretentious. But this costume is an event award of the whole season, and it looks like it was taken from somewhere from canceled models. Dragonguard berserk is better. Dufort's new armor looks better. Yes, anything looks better. And this suit is too flat, completely unsightly in terms of design. I don't know how to put it, sorry.

    Did you dye it red or does it come that color originally? It doesn't look that bad to me if you could dye it different colors.

    I totally see where you're coming from but for some reason it has really grown on me. Initially, I thought it looked like a grown man wearing a child's costume, but now I kind of like it lol

    Awful. Reminds me of how badly they messed up the Ancestral Imperial Style as well. I know they get tired of negative feedback but things like this are just so disappointing.

    For a costume that is the reward for participating in multiple events, it looks kinda bad - at least on a 1st glance. Maybe it is animated or has some cool visual effect or something. It is kinda hard to judge just by seeing a static picture from one side.

    Also - even if it looks cool after dying - it is a costume, so it requires either ESO+ to be able to dye it, or a preset from crown store - bottom line - rl cash to make it look good.

    Btw. Is this the top - tier reward for this year's events ? If so, then it is kinda um... "meh" as last year we got a house - Doomchar Plateau.

    I think it looks okay but I’m not sure how it dyes. Still confused why they went with hot pink/red of all colors… gold would’ve made far more sense. Personally I think it’d look a lot better if:
    - it was not an unnatural color
    - it had a different helmet completely
    - the chestplate gave more of a “snatched waist” look like the Ascendent Lord has in the cinematics, since we don’t have many armor in-game that gives that effect, let alone an armor costume

    No this is in replacement of the Presonaility from last year. Winter Holiday will be our 'House' reward, or whatever they decide to go with.

    My general impression is that PvP players enjoy wearing outfits that attract lots of attention and might otherwise not be very appealing.

    It works nicely for PvP events as it provides something PvP players may want and it allows other people to skip.

    The way this is phrased suggests to me that you are not a PVPer and I just wanted to say how nice your take was. PVP and the costume may not be your thing but you're happy for others who might like it.

    Good job by you!

    It looks more sci fi than medieval, like Star Wars armor.

    Yeah, only PvP I do anymore is to get my 450 monthly transmutes. I used to do BG's where I noticed the appearance of my team tended to correlate with performance.

    Honestly the more i Look at it- the more it just looks unfinished.
    Like it's to plain-jane compared to other event-based costumes, and even ancestral breton looks better then it.
    And the helm kinda looks like a reskin from previous helmets in the past.

    Don’t know if that was sarcasm or not, but Daggerfall’s color is blue. Why would my DC PvP characters want to wear EP red???

    Professional Animator here. I don't think it looks that bad. But it doesn't strike me as Breton, and it looks very plain. The only things that really tie this to the Breton style are 1. the fins on the helmet and shoulders and 2. the swirling pattern on the stomach of the chest plate. Those are similar to the normal Breton motif. But the rest of the armor itself looks pretty rough. Like it was made using early concept art.

    Actually.. (I am so sorry haha)

    The Daggerfall Covenant's colour is blue, because of King Emeric being the ruler of Wayrest, and the city's heraldic colours are blue and white.

    However the heraldic colours of Daggerfall the city are red and green, a red dragon on a green field to be precise. Though it's a shame the game doesn't show that, since they just put Covenant colours/symbols everywhere. Only with the updated looks in High Isle did they properly reflect the colourful heraldry of the Bretons.

    But yeah it's pretty weird they chose for bright red/pink as the default colour for the armour set. I think it will probably look good when dyed in steel colours, but still such an odd choice to make it red, not at all in line with the game's visual style.
