    I rather have my choices matter more not less. Class based and restricted tings are nice for me assuming you can drop other class pieces like in the archive.

    I tend to agree with the sentiment more and more each year, when choices are getting more like a flavour, rather than something that matters. But cosmetic wise it doesn't matter much.

    i dont really agree with the styles being class locked either, that makes no sense to me

    the gear being locked sure, not like any of those bonuses would have any use on any of the other classes anyway

    the point of the outfit station is to make your character look how you want, you can wear heavy armor, and use a light armor style, or vice versa

    so you could make your character look like a heavy tank when in reality your wearing all light armor

    so having the class styles be class locked, seems like they are actually taking steps backward from the "play how you want" idea

    i have my main house (grand topal hideaway) listed in the housing tours, it has multiple target dummies, scribing altar, and grandmaster stations (in progress being filled out), as well as almost every antiquity furnishing on display to preview them

    feel free to stop by and use the facilities

    UP, i hate feeling like all i do is complain on the forums lol, but some decisions are weird ash and need attention; This is one of them.

    Something else that has caught my attention is that preview now works again on every class when you do it through the inventory and the style page. It used to not work at all. The preview remains unavailable once you learn the style tho, and trying to preview a piece that's not from your class through the armor styles menu does nothing.

    Which only confirms that there are no issues, visually, that much was obvious, but still. It is frustrating, a restriction that makes literally no sense whatsoever, especially considering the amount of effort and grind required to get the styles in the first place.

    For the love of god, please just unlock them, cosmetics should never ever be locked behind class.

    1000000% Agree. Doubly so with subclassing being a thing now, class locked styles and sets make absolutely no sense and are just a restriction for the sake of restrictions- which isn't fun.

    Greetings,

    We have closed this topic as it was originally created in April 2024. In many cases, it's better to create a new thread on a topic that you want to discuss as opposed to bumping one that is rather old.

    Thank you for your understanding.
