    I can not find the location to set these. All of my addons are disabled and I restarted the game twice.

    I was able to access the menu after doing what Maitsukas suggested. The Gyrfalcon Gather seems to be bugged in the Blackwood zone. It looks to be targeting a Z-axis point under the map. I like the color changes but I was expecting more in the way of completely different animations. The only one that is totally different is the Gyrfalcon Gather. The others are just basically texture reskins.

    It would be really awesome if we could change some skill animations with ones we already have, for example:

    Staff pointing to the target (force shock, weakness to element, force siphon) able to be used with destructive touch, or closing arms together (drain power, conjured ward) able to be used with bone armor, and so on.

    It's really odd to me that you're adding custom actions before you support something you introduced and is wildly requested 5 years ago with Morrowind.

    Where are the customizable pet skins? Can you lean into that more. Using pets modeled and skinned from before the launch of the game in 2014 for Sorc is an eye sore.

    I'm telling you now, I'd pay a lot to reskin pets, I'm not nearly as intersted in a green portal.

    This. We even have perfect skins for sorc pets, such as storm atronach animals introduced with the first crates and Summerset Chapter:

    Having a smaller storm atronach senche instead of a scamp would be amazing and lore/class-friendly

    These are kind of cool, but I would have been more interested in Pet Skins and being able to re-assign emotes, like using a different emote to replace my idle animation, or changing the emote that fires off when I do a greeting emote.

    I agree, and people have been asking for more flavor when it comes to fishing. Fishing pole skins for example. We did get a costume, and I thank zos for that.

    I don't however recall seeing any posts asking for gathering, or skill eye candy. But would really like to see more skin/pet options for my battle bear.

    Some thoughts:
    • As others have mentioned, pet skins are more highly desirable. Please utilize the system put in place with warden bears years ago. I want a wolf instead of a bear and a falcon instead of a cliff racer for my Breton warden and then different animals for a Bosmer warden. Definitely other things instead of netches. Sorcs want new pets and have for ages. Please. Please.
    • The gathering falcon:
      • Please get rid of the green glow. I know you're going for a druid theme but it would have much more use to ALL characters to summon a non-glowing falcon. (Especially with warden now being shoved into ice-mage and even less choice of a nature theme). I'm sure mages of all classes would prefer to summon creatures to harvest their herbs but the green glow is too much, especially as we're getting this at the very end of the Year of the Breton, sometime after the last quarter update goes live.
      • It works with alchemy plants, not with clothing. The summon hand motion plays as expected, but the falcon does not show up.
      • Animation still looks good with max Master Gatherer CP passive.
    • Woodworking is not bad. It's a little glowy for my tastes but eh.
    • Blacksmithing is fine. I probably won't use this particular one but it's not flashy and just gives a different flavor. I prefer that to the above glowing stuff.
    • The constellation one is not bad. It'd be nice to be able to customize the color on it since it's not a different animation or visual; the color is just shifted. Players could then customize the color to match their chosen theme themselves. If not possible, maybe release these as a full pack with class complimentary colors instead of just the current green.

    I'm guessing one roadblock to it is different hitboxes with different models. Though I'd taken even a better textured clannfear.

    As a general feedback, this is a good idea, and am hoping it is part of a larger plan, starting with these very inconsequential animations.

    What I am hoping for is to be able to customize class and weapon animations at one point.

    People have been asking to make a firesorc, dark templar, ice dk, and so on. Changing the skins of the sorc pets or other pets is also great. I would like to be able to change the "source" of magic for some of my chars. Like storm or daedric to green/nature, light, azurefire, etc.

    P.S. One example is to change the magic armor animation to a leafy/nature bubble.

    Thinking on customized animations, another I think would be fantastic would be a new wayshrine animation that uses the Ascendant Magus's lightning animation where he calls down lightning and disappears. That would be really cool and definitely something new!

    To echo what everyone else is saying:

    Can we get pet/skill skins instead? I'll be honest, I do not think anyone cares about teleport and gathering animations. In fact, we even use CP to make the gathering animations as short as possible!
    As such, I feel no desire to buy or unlock these animation skins, as they have no impact. I want these animations to end as quickly as possible, so I simply do not care what they look like.

    New skill and pet animations though? Yes please sign me and everyone else up! This would be absolutely fantastic.

    I really hope y'all can take a look at this feedback and maybe consider the idea in the future. @ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_Kevin

    in all honesty I haven't checked them out because I have no interest in them. I want to get through most of these actions asap so it is highly unlikely I will pay for atlerations to them.

    No warden bear options, sorc pet options... that may be interesting.

    I agree with everyone here who would rather have pet or skill reskins. I would pay crowns (NOT crown crates though) to change my Warden bear ultimate to a wolf. I'd love to change my sorc daedra pets to elemental atronachs. I hoped for something like this since Morrowind when the bear ultimate got a reskin (which I didn't pay for because I didn't care for the bear as a pet at all).

    You have so many good ideas from your players, and these things have been requested multiple times, even in your crown store forum. We tell you what we would pay for all the time, and while I'm sure you will have people that will pay for gathering and porting animations, I personally will not pay for them. I will not pay especially because they are in crown crates, but even if they weren't, I'd save my crowns for something else I would rather have more (more hair style options, hair color pack, costumes and armor types without hip or loincloth flaps and shoulder pads, pet reskins to other animal types as I just talked about, major quest NPC house guests like Fennorian or Razum Dar, maybe another house if it's reasonably priced and not so huge I have to section off parts of it to decorate it adequately). I'm not the only one who has asked for many of these things.

    I am definitely confused by all the paring down that was done in the name of performance (including erasing all my individual character data and achievements which I had cherished) and now you are adding animations which produce more visual clutter and character data. This will impact performance. I'm guessing this is one of those new systems you talked about that would replace our individual character achievements, and I'm telling you this, like the card game, is really missing the mark when it comes to what I lost and how I feel about it. If new animations can be put in, then how about at least giving us pet reskins? While that might not make up for my missing individual character data, it would be a start I can appreciate.

    no, the animation a character does being tied to a spell is important. How else can you see what other player is doing? valid for both pvp and pve. Seeing the character animation before the spell effect is important.

    would rather have changed color or shape of a spell, than its character cast animation
