Please make the Infinite Archive styles class-free again

Avran_Sylt · October 12

When the class styles came out with the Infinite Archive, they weren't bound to class at the Outfit Station. You would have to earn them on that class, but once you knew the style, you could use it on any class. I was trying to get the Nobility in Decay set so I could use it on my nightblade... and then when U41 hit suddenly they were restricted by class. That hurt me, ZOS... it hurt me a lot. I may need a therapist now.

Given that you still have to GET them on the specific class, please (PLEASE PLEASE) switch the outfit styles back to account-wide like they were before. Class-locked styles were a nice experiment, but if comments on the forum - or my own opinion - is any indication... no one likes the change.

Old topic but still relevant because the underlying cause still persists as it was once posted.

I do agree. I like the NB bandit mask and am not using other classes because I like the look for my character. I may be tempted to use other classes should that change (given the sorc IA set is meta DPS for some builds) but at the moment am sticking with NB cause "cool". (I also haven't even looked at the other IA styles for any thematic cosmetic builds because they are not available to use, ergo, I will not play IA with other classes, reducing player interactivity/grind).

yes please

I agree. It never made any sense to make the styles class-bound. A character can wear any race or alliance style collected, even wear the outfits of the enemy. Having styles restricted by class makes no sense and doesn’t fit with ESO’s play the way you want (in contrast to subclassing, which I LOVE — THANK YOU!)

yes! it is really absurd that we cannot use all Class outfit styles

I feel like subclassing has made this restriction make even less sense than it did before

does not affect me and didn't know it was a thing... but totally agree. classes aren't even locked to a class anymore.

and while we're at it, let's stop shutting down constructive threads simply because they are 12 months old. how absurd.

It's absurd that if I wanted to I could set up 2 different characters of mine to have the exact same 3 skill lines, same bar setups, same sets, same mundus, same race, same champion point setup, same everything...

...But apparently they can't be allowed to wear the same IA outfit because one started out as a Nightblade and added an Arcanist skill line, while the other started as an Arcanist and added an Nightblade line.
Oh no, that'd be faaaarrrrr too big a loss of the characters individual identity.

ZoS pls.

In addition to unlocking outfit styles for all classes, I also wish that Master Crafters got the ability to imbue non-class gear with these awesome auras

Most of time I don't wish to use the particular outfit style or wear particular set just for the awesome visual effects.
