Just going to put this in… before hunter/shaman would wear leather until lvl 40 and a paladin/warrior would wear mail… so in all right hunter/shaman should be able to mog leather and paladin/warrior be able to mog mail…
it was also not uncommon to put on a piece from leather or cloth if it gave you better stats than your plate/mail armor.
It´s only recently that the focus on “MUST WEAR THE RIGHT AMORCLASS” has been pushed by some ppl.
In old wow, unless you were a cloth class you would wear the item with the best stat, regardless of cloth, leather, mail or plate. As long as you could equip it it was “this is ok for my class until i get something better .” cloth wearing holy paladins were not an uncommon sight but I guess your to young to remember that.
If you want to keep class identification then keep the class set out of the transmog rules but everything else should be free to mog. Though i dont see why you want the class sets out as you can find a recolor and wear that.
“Look mom. Im unique mage because i wear the blue mage gear” …“but that other person wear just the same clothes just in red…” “MINE IS SPECIAL” …“whatever you say dear”
I think that is more of an explanation as to why Hunters (as an example) have access to wearing different armor types.
Remember when Holy Paladins used to wear cloth?
Because it’s only been recently that people have been DEMANDING all amour restrictions get removed on the Transmog.
And that is more reason why they shouldn’t remove the Armor restrictions on Transmog.
–
Hey, look. Just explain to me where does it end?
Supposing, hypothetically, Blizz were to remove armor restrictions on transmog and the 3 players who want it go away happy.
What happens next?
Someone comes along as says:
"I’m a Paladin, I enjoy playing Paladin.
But you know what?
I really want to have Combustion. I think it will work/look really good when I’m out doing my day to day Paladin stuff"
After that, we might as well be removing Classes altogether and just allowing players to pick and choose which spells they have. Then we are into a completely different game altogether.
Does that sound ridiculous to you? Because that’s exactly how your suggestion sounds to me.
Lets take your paladin example.
Cloth/mogs/atmor are cosmetics with stats. I can cast me spells in any amor regardless of it being cloth, leather, mail or plate. All it changes are how i look. It does not change my spells or abilities.
Those are two seperate things. I wore cloth alot in early wow as a paladin. Never made my spells or abilities different than those who had plate on.
I still wear cloth on my psladin sometimes because i like the look but my abilities are the same.
I can wear it but if i mog it i loose my class identity as a paladin? But I don’t loose it if i wear it and not mog it?
Your talking about class identity not stat losses. Nothing in my spells or abilities changes if i wear cloth.
Im still a holy paladin. My spells are still the same. I can still do the same things.
I loose my class if i mog it but keep it when wearing it? No, its always been about look.
Yes i might gain more stats/damage/healing but my spells are the same. Nothing but damage changes. Nothing about my class identity changes.
I like the look of clothes and those i play with are not elitist players who only care about stats
I want to be able walk around the game and say “Oh cool that’s a Paladin, that’s Warlock. Thats a Mail wearer…” etc etc.
With your suggestion, it will be like “oh cool a Paladin… oh no, it’s a Warlock in Retribution armor… lol, you caught me out there!”
Except you wouldn’t look like a hunter anymore… you’d look like a Mage and people will start whispering you for Water and Portals.
Neither do I care about stats that much. But what was really exciting to me when I started playing WoW, was looking at the Armor sets. I played Rogue at the time and I was over the moon when I finally got my SSC/TK Armor set. Because I finally felt like a Rogue!
You clearly don’t understand what that connection to your class/character is like. When you’ve put so much love and hard work into it.
You just want to take it away because you want to wear a pretty hat.
You don’t understand, what might be a simple and annoying restriction to you, happens to be a core part of what they enjoy about the game for many many many many many other people.
I never ever got a whisper about a portal when wearing cloth on my paladin nor a whisper about opening lock boxes when wearing leather on my shaman.
It’s been a part of the core game forever! Why am i ruining the game by playing it like it was designed to be played.
Cloth wearing holy paladin is a thing and im sorry if you feel like your game is ruined because of it.
Mine is not and i think it’s about tine to remove the limits of transmogs
Just a few highlights from my past few posts. I could probably find more reasons. But I think this is enough.
No “probably” about it.
Because this an affect on everybody’s game, whilst,
This only affects your game.
The later is your option. If you REALLY must wear other armor types for your RP or whatever you do. Then that is your option and the way you go about doing it.
The former opens up a door to Pandora’s box. To allow everyone to go all out ridiculous. And there will be people out there who will go full fledged over the top crazy. The entire game will have lost it’s identity the way so many players have become attached to it.
Quoting that wearing cloth as a holy paladin is the same as me wanting all the spells yo be accesable to all classes doesnt make it true
Being a cloth wearing holy paladin is not about roleplaying - it’s about me liking the look of something over something else. I still got all my unique spells and class ability. Nothing remotely rekated ti my class changes if i want to wesr a red cloth top indtead of a green plate one.
Nothing except look.
I can do that now and nobody ever whispered or complaint about me being a mage/priest/ etc. I can wesr it but not mog it abd you say that mogging it looses my class identity even if im actually wearing the same items on me just not mogged.
Im sorry but it’s not the same as wanting spells to be the same across classes. It’s s matter of me liking the red dress over the green one…it’s cosmetics…
Heck right now i csn spec my hunter survival mog the purpke dress from the covenants plus a staff and that will mske me looknmore like a warlock thsn mogging a random cloth bekt into a chsin set but if i do the latter i loose all connection to my clasd? Even if i can just equip the bekt right now and NOTHING about my class changes…
Please PLEASE PLEASE make servers where transmog limits are removed… its sooo stupid…
RIght now im mogging something which resemble clothes but I still feel like a hunter.
Why must other ppls opnion make it so those of us who want to cant just put on whatever we feel like it
Just make servers where transmog lites are removed and servers where they arent… that way its free choice… Stop imposing your views on other… just let me move to a server where transmog limits are off and wear what i want
Roleplaying servers could be for those who want only to wear what their class can and other servers should be free of transmog limits
With the 9.1 covenant sets we are clearly on that path. To be fair, my problem really isn’t the restriction on what I can tmog, it’s that my plate wearer can’t collect tmog for my clothies.
And while we’re at it, also give every class a stealth so questing is easier.
Remove any and all kind of reputation, coz it takes time and is a slog.
And why not have all raid bosses drop their loot once you /dance!
Simple - Identity and Immersion.
Don’t get me wrong, I like that some sets and items are now being made with the idea that everyone can wear em but I really don’t want iconic pieces of armor to be worn by random classes ^^
Alot of possible QoL to be done sure, but simply removing any and all gear restrictions is a very bad and too easy way…
What if they’d add a new class of gear?! Like cosmetics that anyone can wear and expand on that?
yup totally agree with that! I hate running raids and dungeons for tmogs and cant learn it.
Why not… I can at this moment go put on a cloth belt which matches my gear better. But I can not mog it.
Just have the option. You´r not forced to do it. There are no reason to restrict it. I dont loose my class if I wear a more matching leather hood over a mail one. Its PURELY cosmectics. Nothing to do with classes. The class sets could be left out so those were still class only but everything else doesnt make sence.
Just because we disagree there are no reason to be rude.
From the begining paladins been able to wear cloth. I can go put on a cloth set right now and still be a paladin with all the abilities and spells.
It’s purely look
And btw ff14 has class restrictions on most of their mogs
Ohh look i put on clothes and now im asked to heal in dungeons or teleport ppl…NO its look only
Do you go over to the bussdriver/teacher/wood carver and spit on them because what they wear disrupt YOUR view of the correct job attire?
It´s YOUR views you want to force on ppl. You dont like clothes, then dont put them on. Class spells and abilities doesnt change when you put on a different armor class. Those two are NOT connected and have NEVER been. Hunters wore leather for ages, paladin wore mail, even holy paladins wore clothes because the stats wre better. It+s NOTHING To do with class… stop making the connection… there is none
