PTS Update 45 - Feedback Thread for Converting Disguises To Collectibles

ZOS_Kevin · January 12

This is the official feedback thread for the conversion of disguises to collectibles. Specific feedback that the team is looking for includes the following:

Where you able to easily find the converted disguises in your collectibles tab?
Did you run into any issues with using the new collectibles?
Where you missing any collectible disguise but have the associated quest completed? If so, please note the disguise and quest.
Do you have any other general feedback?

Regarind this point, I do have question.

Will also disguises be converted into collectibles, which are no longer obtainable, but we do still have in our inventories, because we once did the quests and did not delete them?

Legoless · January 13

Will Shadowsilk Gem and Kollopi Essence really not be converted into collectibles? They've been in my inventory for ten years, please reconsider...

CoolBlast3 · January 13

This is a good step in the right direction, but could we please also get Shadowsilk Goblin and Shimmering Kollopi Essence as collectibles? I feel like those are the more unique ones and it's a shame to still have them as inventory items.

Kyip · January 13

Can anyone share which collectible category the disguises are in?

fizl101 · January 13

Are those the teo that dont work in pvp? If so it probably makes sense to be kept separate from coatumes so that the behaviour continues

Also, the link for disguise feedback thread (this thread) in megathread post actually leads to the bug reports, not here.

Shadowsilk Goblin was added to the crown store as a polymorph a few years back, so I don't think that one will make it into the collections to be fair to the people who paid for it.

Thank you for calling this out. I have made the change. Not even sure how that happened as the links were not generated on the same day. So not sure how they got mixed up.

Meredy · January 13

Even though the Shadowsilk Gem disguise also appears in the crown store, the model is pretty different from the gem. It would be really nice to see both it and the Kollopi Essence become available in the collectible menu.

Another thing that would be nice to see turn into a collectible is that blue mist effect people get from the Mages Guild main questline (I don't know the exact quest.) It's pretty popular among players and I often see people use it.

Kyip · January 13

I just hope Kollopi Essence is not added as a memento or polymorph, I like layering it with Spriggans and Wild Hunt Auras.

Where you able to easily find the converted disguises in your collectibles tab?

Yeah, they seemed to go to Costumes.

Do you have any other general feedback?

I really like that I don't need to haul them around anymore but, my costume section is getting rather packed. Would it be possible for an option to be added for favoriting costumes or separating them into more categories so that it is easier to quickly get to a specific one if you don't know it's name? (This might not be an issue as people that swap much may just memorize the names)

They're in the costumes category, mixed in with all the other costumes. There isn't really a way to differentiate costumes that were originally disguises from any others, aside from the "new" notification the first time you look at your collection after they're added.

Were you able to easily find the converted disguises in your collectibles tab?

I had some initial confusion after logging in on an alt that hadn't completed any of the relevant quests, and there was nothing new in my collections. The new costumes only appeared after I logged in on my main character who has done all the quests. You'll probably want to make it clear that that's how it works, so people don't log in on their wardrobe storage alts and then panic when they don't see the disguises in their collections.

Did you run into any issues with using the new collectibles?

The limited amount of trying things on I did went fine.

Were you missing any collectible disguise but have the associated quest completed? If so, please note the disguise and quest.

That would be easier to track if we had a list of disguises and quests to check against. Any chance we could have uncollected costumes displayed in the costume UI to show what's available and where to get it?

Do you have any other general feedback?

It's very cool to have these costumes available as collectibles. Overall this is a big plus for convenience and fashion accessibility.

The costumes generally look great and it's excellent that we can dye them. I would quibble with at least one of the dye channel choices, though - on the Crown Dishdasha the shirt and pants share the same dye channel so you end up looking like you're wearing jammies.

Having the costumes tied to quest completion will be more inconvenient than being able to just run over to the quest location and pick them up out of a basket, but I understand why it was done this way. My alt accounts will have some work to do.

Vampires should note that the costume versions of these disguises don't hide or affect the pasty vampire skin. However, the item disguises still work the same way, and they can still be picked up and kept in inventory. So at least nothing has been taken away, but ZOS would make a lot of people happy by adding a skin visibility toggle or something for all the undead fashionistas out there.

I agree with the person above that costume bloat is an issue and that it can be hard to find things if you don't know specific names. So any improvements in organization, favorite-marking, or reducing the need for scrolling would be worth considering.

Isn't it a bit redundant to give the player The Scarlet Judge's Regalia after completing "The Scarlet Judge" when you already receive the "Regalia of the Scarlet Judge" costume from completing that quest, and to my knowledge, they look identical?

acastanza_ESO · January 14

This is, in general, pretty awesome, and I do love that they're dyeable too. That said, I was quite disappointed that the "Sapphire Society Disguise" from the Bard's College Quest "Orchestrations" in Western Skyrim wasn't included

Do you keep that after doing that quest? Isn't it like the Elegant Outfit you get in the first Summerset quest, that disappears when you talk to Raz after using it.

I also had dye channel surprises. The Servant's robes from Stros M'kai which have a blue shirt and brown pants undyed, get both pieces matching after.

Migoda · March 16

@ZOS_Kevin Having all these costumes added to our collection was very welcome. If it's possible, could you add the contraband/looted clothing items to it too?

Where you able to easily find the converted disguises in your collectibles tab?
- They're in with other costumes, which are easy to find, but not obviously differentiated from them in any way other than listing the location of the quest they're earned through that I could see.

Did you run into any issues with using the new collectibles?
- When attempting to dye the "Servants Robes" from Stros M'kai, the shirt, trousers and boots are all altered by the first colour, the belt/boot trim by the second, and nothing seems to be linked to the third. The original colours seem to separate the shirt from the belt/trousers/boot trim from the boots, and I'd like to be able to dye them in that way.

The other costumes I have were all able to be dyed without issue, but this is the one I'd probably use.

I've run into this same issue with this disguise and a couple of others, and it's really the only complaint I have about the conversion of the disguises into collectibles. This "Servant's Robes" collectible, the "Crown Dishdasha" collectible from Bergama, and a few others have dye channels that are very, very different from the original disguises and make them look like pajamas instead of clothing. It's a shame, as I would have loved to have had them in the original versions and been able to dye the shirts and pants different colors.
