Transmog: A Bare Minimum Effort by Amazon Games

[Wolfe Beckhaver]

DISAPPOINTING

1. The token cost to transmog each piece is ludicrous and the ability to obtain only 1 per week after hours of grinding is just plain stingy, especially when any given outfit will cost 7.

2. Being forced to talk to the transmog person in a town to change outfits comes with a plethora of issues, namely other people running in front of your character while you are trying go see what outfit piece looks like on the character. On top of lighting changing. Why not allow us to do this using a wardrobe in our homes where others do not reside and where we can place lighting appropriately to see our characters well day or night. Makes infinitely more sense.

3. Transmog outfits should have presets that can be applied to Gear Sets. The system works such that you can transmog individual gear sets, but the process would be easier to understand for the player if they simply attached a Transmog Saved Set to a Gear Set.

4. Dying is hit and miss. Works well on some pieces, not well at all on others.


I applaud the efforts made for transmog and glad it is in game, but the associated cost and mediocre implementation mean I will not use the system any differently than I used it before.

Its simply not well executed and the greed behind the cost completely turns me off.

PRO-TIP Amazon Games: A little bit of something is better than a whole lot of nothing. Cutting the transmog prices in half (bare minimum that should be done) would entice more people to use the system, which should overall yield more income.

Yes, agreed on all points. It's too expensive, not enough drops for in-game activities and the UI for it feels a bit awkward. Would've been nice to have wardrobe furniture to access items to put outfits together and not have people get in the way at the NPC.

64 free tokens/year = nearly a full new look every 4 weeks

20 Mins of chests is not a grind

This assumes new world is worth playing for the time it takes to get 64 tokens (its not). Amazon hasn't earned the player trust necessary to offer such a scummy change.

52 weeks in a year = 52 tokens
2 tokens per season = 8 tokens
7 tokens per outfit divided by 60 tokens = 8 outfits a year. A far cry from "new look every 4 weeks".

Secondly 20 minutes for a 1% drop is BS. Its RNG on the extreme low end meaning it can take much much much longer.

Players are looking at hours to get a token.

+1 agree

Worst f*cking transmog in the history of MMOs. AGS is a pathetic excuse for a developer. They can only be this idiotic because they need to recover the losses since no one f*cking plays anymore.. little they know, 60% of remaining pop is bots so they aint generating sh*t with this transmog marketing attempt.

good. hope they're all fired.

Transmog is the most predatory thing I've seen from the game so far I might stop playing entirely from this unless major changes happen

[Aespa Enthusiast]

They don't want the game to be fun they just want it to make as much cash as it can before they shut it down. Just make the damned transmog system free. Like why do you hate your players so much?

[Crowolf]

Do like me put your comments on you tube because they don't read steam and as we no longer have a forum everyone will be able to see them.

This is simply a way to dress up your character - absolut no must have^^ Just collect for example the Twitch possibilities and you have Skins. I dont understand why ppl always whining about things you can do. Just be happy and thankful that there is a new function

FTFY.

Have to agree that it's not the best implementation I've seen. It's prohibitively expensive unless you want to waste hours chasing that 1% drop rate, the dyes don't work well, if at all in some cases, and when gear drops, it has no indication of what style it actually is. If I like the look of it, I have no way to easily look it up in the catalogue by name. I have to browse through categories until I find it.

There are some solid systems out there, ESO's outfit system is pretty robust and FFXIV also has a good system with their glamour plates. This feels very much like it was designed with the express intention of extracting maximum revenue, rather that what is a usable system for players.

If I told you I was coming over to your place make you a nice dinner, then took a dump on your plate, would you be happy that at least you got something to eat?

I'm not arguing that the system is the worst I've ever seen, it's not, but your logic of "be satisfied with scraps" isn't a good take either.

The devs keep talking about wanting to improve the game, but continue to introduce poorly implemented or half baked systems
