Don't override transmog with new gear

Gameplay Transmogrification
1

Hi All,

General question about transmogs, is there an option to not override your existing transmog when you equip a new piece of gear, so in other words not having to spend extra gold each time for no reason :slight_smile: ?

Short answer is: NO
that’s because transmog is replacing visual id of your current item, not slot.
Solution is to use engineering transmog wardrobe to insta change your look.

Ok sounds fair but I still think it should be an option at the transmogifier, shouldn’t be too hard code-wise if what you say is true.

then you just have IF “keep transmog” == True; visual id new item = visual id old item; visual id new item :slight_smile:

or just visual id new item into slot 11 for example :slight_smile:

Why transmog is that important when there are plenty of mechanical issues in the game. Please let Blizzard fix gameplay issues first and then we’d care about cosmetics.

Some people are playing just to collect looks, pets and other things, they don’t care about your mechanical issues too :slight_smile:

Then play the Sims - you are playing wrong game.

This is an MMORPG game so why do you play it if your are not interested in MMORPG aspect.

Hahaha why should i play Sims if i like to collect transmog in WoW? :smiley: You can’t see my point, and you think your issue is more important than someone else while collectors don’t care about your issues like you doesn’t care about their.

Who would you care about extra feature in the game when core is in bad state. It’s like asking for more options in player creator in Fifa when physics are completely bad.

Sorry but collecting transmogs isn’t core of the game. Class/specs mechanics, dungeons, raids are. Deal with it.

You must deal with that the core aspect of the game may differ depending on person and his needs. For someone overtuned Shrine of the Storm is core problem because he can’t deal with high key there, but there are people who never touch M+ and are still having fun in the game. For them not being able to collect something will be bigger issue than this overtuned dungeon. All the issues have to be treated equally, that’s what i mean.

But transmog isn’t core of the game and will never be and point of view doesn’t matter here. No matter how hard you try to make it core it won’t be ever because devs don’t design this game to make it based on transmog. Even Trial of Style is happening every few months. This is MMORPG game. It’s about 2 factions fighting each other and bosses in some instanced or noninstanced environment.

Btw Shrine of the Storm isn’t overtuned. If you know all mechanics you can clear +20 versions of it and people do it.

I understand that you can have fun changing dresses like in the Sims but it’s not how this game is supposed to be played. You may enjoy creating new players in Fifa but creating players it’s not a reason why this game is created and why people buy. For a reason on every Blizzcon devs are talking about mechanics, new dungeons and raids instead of “we will have new great transmog options for you!”.

Nothing personal but come on - transmog isn’t really that important. Anyway most of transmog collectors are farming raids/dungs 2 expansions back as their gear is so bad they can’t clear content from previous expansion on their own.

This game is made to make money, not to make our lifes easier or more enjoyable and that’s why blizzard must treat their playerbase equally. What’s the point in repairing classes if 10% of playerbase will leave the game due to not being able to have fun with other aspects?

I’d say transmogers are minority and people doing content are vast majority of the game and let’s be honest just because you have to pay for transmoging your gear again after you get a new piece of gear nobody would quit the game. Don’t even make me laugh. Player base is the lowest ever because mechanics like azerite armor, popular specs like enhancement being completely useless since BfA launch. Very popular pvp specs like sub rogue, affli warlock, disc priest, arms warrior are barely playable. These are the main reasons why we have such low player base not that you have to pay 30 gold whenever you change 1 item… Come on… Let’s be serious not biased…

You still can’t see my point, transmog is just one of those aspects that still keeps some playerbase subbed. If i would be addicted to exploring and going solo content, legacy raids etc. i wouldn’t care about class balance, but if something would prevent me to have fun with other things i would unsub. There are plenty players like this.

But they aren’t core playerbase of this game and will never be. Why should we treat them the same as the vast majority. It’s like in democracy minority can’t decide about majority. Let’s make the core of the game working fine then let’s take care of extra features. Anyway I don’t see any major transmog issue but just quality of life change so it shouldn’t be high on the priority list anyway.

16

Because they are real income for Blizzard, sure other players won’t care about them, but Blizzard do, they can’t lose money. I’m on your side here and i want core mechanics and classes repaired first, i made myself as an example of someone who would want to do other things in game.

Transmog players don’t pay more than VAST MAJORITY of the player base.

You are an example of poster who posts to post. Doesn’t matter if you agree or not you have to post just to post something.

18

I could say the same for you.

Different people enjoy different kind of things in the game.

Even if it’s mogs, pvp, pve, pet battles or rp doesn’t matter.If the game provides this, they should be able to say their opinion about/complain/ask about something in the forums.

And it doesn’t matter if you think it’s not serious.

Majority of playerbase won’t unsub even with unbalanced classes like we see now, people are complaining, making posts but never ending their subs. Blizzard won’t need to choose who is more important to them, they want all of them. I’m example of person who posts to post? look at your first reply in this thread and think how much it has in common with the topic. Lol :smiley:

It is not about enjoyment it’s about core mechanics of the game. It’s not fashion game where changing they your character looks is the main feature of the game. It’s an extra feature. When you see BfA cinematic you see horde fighting alliance not Sylvanas saying “what a nice dress Jaina” xD

No matter how hard you try transmog won’t be core part of this game. It’s an addition added because people liked old sets and preferred them over Cata sets so Blizzard allowed you to wear them. I played when it was added in the game. Some casual players who are too bad for true content try to make it core part of the game but no matter how hard they try they won’t be able too. I like transmogs too and I use them but tbh when we have such huge issues with the core mechanics Blizzard shouldn’t put cost of transmoging 1 item over some specs being unfun or unplayable.
