So these armor type restriction are frustrating but i can also understand at least to some degree, why some people are opposed to system where you can transmog anything to anything like plate to cloth and cloth to leather for example.
So what if we instead, lift the totally unnecessary(In my opinion) restriction that denies you from transmogging cloth to cloth as plate wearer or leather to leather as mail and so on. So what i mean, is that if you can put the original piece of armor on your character like cloth is wearable by all, then let us for example to wear that heirloom chest piece we can wear and tranmog it freely to same type as is the original armor.
This way, we could get more options to people to plan roleplay outfits or simply put on something what they like. With the hidden transmogs in other parts like hands, shoulder and so forth, we could open up major creative possibilities but with a price in armor stat at least.
Why dont just use the armor itself if you can loot it and wear it you say then? You see some of the items in transmog are from quest reewards like that robe which is used my many Draenei paladins and such you see wandering in Exodar. Its basically a cloth robe and ig you are a plate wearing paladin, you simply cant get it in any other means but transmogging it from your appearance list. However this is not possible right now. There are actually many items that are quest rewards whatr i would use as appearance and this makes me always frown when someone opposes the totally unrestricted transmog by saying âEveryone would just wear their best raid gearâ. You see there are some of us, who really like more low end clothing and i myself actually greatly dislike most raid and dungeon gear because they are too elaborate and look unrealistic in a way.
I personally wouldnât mind, but i can see many being opposed as your proposal translate into: plate classes can wear all and cloth classes can wear only cloth.
I do think there is some scope to loosen some restrictions.
How about hats, gloves, belt and boots can be any armour type? Keep the core of the set Shoulders, Chest and Legs as the intended armour type.
A warrior with a cloth hat wonât break any lore / immersion.
A rogue with a plate helm is hardly way out there.
A mage with leather boots would be fine.
Also itâs about time weapon restrictions loosened up, especially for daggers.
Yes it is and i would be happy to see every player being able to look like exactly what they want be it silly or not, but there are those who oppose such things and this would at least be sort of a bad compromise which also has some logic in it from old style D&D games where the thing behind mages and such were, that they are physically weaker that the warrior types so they used light clothing which also gave more freedom for their hand doing the somatic compotent of spellcasting.
As i said many times im all for removal of all tmog limits!
Tmogs is purely a matter of taste.
I can litteraly go put on a dress and yo behold i can still shoot my bow. I can choose a pair of leather boots to wear and yo behold i can still heal on my paladin. But if i want to mog it somehow it would make all my skills and spells useless?
No it would not!
Itâs PURELY about taste and personal preferences. So pull the cord and remove restrictions! There are NO solid reasons to have them. Many covenants sets looks like a cloth sets and you know whatâŚif i mog it i can still be a paladin! Why should it be different if it was a player made dress.
Itâs fine you would not use it but dont let your taste limits what ppl want to wear.
I hate skimpy outfits but i would NEVER say someone should not mog it. Their choice, their taste.
Nothing to do with proffesions, the covenants sets is proof enough for that. So just remove the rest of the limits.
We live in 2023 and taste is so different. It works in sooo many other games. Eso just to mention oneâŚ
In pvp you should see a persons class behind their name or have tmogs disabled in pvp. Either would work so thatâs not a reason not to remove restrictions
Just wanted to say, that theres a use for some skimpy outfits that represent swimwear and i do use those on my cloth types and also leather has a similar option. Its not logical to wear all that clothing when swimming. Even less logical is wearing a plate when on water. It does not feel very iummersive to play that underwater area as plate wearer since there litle options for such wear as i know of.
As a hunter your armor is mail, but your character looks like they are wearing a cloth shirt, leather hat, waistcoat, and belt etc.
It looks great btw !
I could see mages or priests wearing leather or rope belts around robes, it makes sense to me.
Some of the fancy shoulder items we currently have often look really bad, especially on characters with small frames, and donât get me started on head gear for taurens and pandas which can look awful.
The âproblemâ armor type seems to be mostly plate.
Every character will wear cloth, leather and rarely mail at some point, when not on the âfrontlineâ.
Yeah⌠I can relate to mail wearers having some bad options. Thats why i mostly play troll Shaman in that category because it has some pretty good looking options for that kind of character, but still i would preferr leather as i used back at the time it was possible. I dont like statistics on character performance but in any case, wearing leather as a shaman back in WOTLK times did not hurt my performance at all, it was same than with âcorrectâ armor or even better and same with holy paladin which was as good a healer as any wearing cloth while his âcorrectâ type would have been plate.
Id be happy to see everyone just transmogging stuff to what they like but as some have strong opposition to that and Blizz dont seem to have same courage as team behind ESO where the system was made like it is now, completely free despite pretty strong opposition, i tried to make a compromise which i admit, is not best but opens options at least tfor a bit more options while still having some logic behind therestriction s based on some roleplaying games.
Why not? You could just not use it yourself? Why do you want to limit what other ppl might wear
You would NOT notice if someone moged a cloth belt instead of plate ⌠but the cloth might look better
I belive in free options for all.
I know⌠But⌠I wouldnât want to actually have to wear cloth for that since that would mess with my stats. I just want to wear my actual gear, but look however I want to look.
Who are those people? And why should anyone listen to them?
There is no downside to having that option.
The only thing that I think should be restricted is class sets. Because that just makes sense to âlockâ.
So if you wear the purple covenant cloth set itâs oki but a player made ruins class identity??
Sorry i donât get that. Keep the class sets for "identity " and remove restrictions on the rest
I think the thread is asking to be able to transmog the appearance of cloth for everyone. Using the argument that if an item is âtechnicallyâ equippable it should be moggable.
I think that is what they mean ? If I understand it correctly.
Thatâs not how I understood it.
At the moment, you can, for instance, as a mail armor using class put on leather or cloth items as well, but you canât actually transmog those items. The OP is asking for THAT to be a possibility.
But like I said earlier; for me that doesnât actually solve anything.
just not for me. Freedom to wear what u want when u want. Itâs time wow let us do that!
