    The whole costume is... let's say, not their best design :)

    It brings nothing new, we already have 3 Breton knight costumes, and this one can be copied using existing Breton motifs.
    The costume follows the same style with floating hip flaps and crotch flap, we have a ton of those, please bring something different, on a new 3D mesh. The Dufort outfit is much, much better.

    Some costumes don't dye very well so I was wondering if this one actually looked good when dyed. Anyone do it yet and have photos?

    There's at least one in that thread somewhere.

    The problem is it is a costume, and not an outfit motif. That means, in order to dye it you either need active ESO+ subscription or buy some dye kit with preset colours from the crown store.

    Bottom line: You have an event reward cosmetic item, that is a "reward" for participating in long, multiple events, but in order for the reward cosmetic to serve its purpose and actually be decent in what it is suppose to do (look good) - on top of everything you did, you still need to spend RL cash on it. Kinda bad move on ZOS end tbh.

    While I do have my regrets about the short and simplistic nature of my initial post, I still believe it conveys the message that needs to be said - Tommy_The_Gun absolutely nailed the same sentiment, but with more words.

    The default color scheme for any costume in this game should not be an ungodly mixture of vibrant and wild colors. Take the Siegemaster's Uniform for example; the costume looks SPOT ON - it almost looks like a snowtrooper from Star Wars, and you could dye it to look like that if you wanted - but one of the default colors for the uniform is... ORANGE. Orange! Why orange? I don't want to have to subscribe, or pay crowns - or even pay seals of endeavor! - to make the costume look normal! So it's just going to sit there in my collection menu, most likely forever unused - and the same thing's going to happen to this Wal-Mart "Great Value" version of Iron Man's suit.

    Color neutrality needs to be primary. Grays, tans, browns... natural colors!
