PLs dont do a widespread transmog system.

[GRUM - MAGA]

I am worried this means that armour will just be about stats rather than aesthetics, and people will just walk around in weird fruity costumes... PLease dont go down this route...

I want to be able to earn quality armour that also looks good. Not just grind for cool numbers and then wear some cringe unicorn outfit that i got for 5 real life dollars.

[Lumine]

Well, nobody would be forcing *you* to wear the cringe unicorn outfit. But why should you get to stop someone who wants to?

[GRUM - MAGA]

WHy cant they just provide worthwhile gear that is also good to use?

Aesthetics serves literally no purpose so idk how thats a good reward. I want to hit bigger or be protected better. This game is going down a fruity route. Not a fan.

[GRUM - MAGA]

The reason why it sucks even if i dont want to use transmogs, is that it means good gear will not be prioritised to look good. It will just be about your faction armour randomly generating better numbers... Boring way to approach loot in my opinon.

Also seeing people walk around in cringe outfits is an eye sore that ruins immersion

Not all game design decisions will be made with you in mind. If you don't like it, you don't like it. But for majority of people it's a good direction.

The transmog system is fine, but I do agree with keeping everything in the same era aesthetically.

No walking billboards with rainbows and particles and ponies and groomer-esque outfits everywhere.

I just hope it doesnt meant there wont be unique armour and weapons. Im sick of the current system. Its worse than starfield

Agree with this honestly. Vaguely remember when RS added that Solomons Shop garbage and suddenly everyone was walking around as freakshows with overdesigned weapons and gear.

I don't mind cosmetics from events and things, or even special decorative costumes and outfits that you earn and wear, but me personally would rather not see people fighting bosses in pyjamas or whatever with particle effects flying in every direction.

Sadly this game doesn't have unique gear like a certain other game does so there's really no need to identify someones equipment for sanity or otherwise, so I can see transmog being a major thing going forward. Probably a planned rare boss drop too.

Seeing as we can transmog every armour piece, it's probably a done deal already. Well I hope it's reined in a little, like random event outfits or gnome scarves and berets and all of that stuff from a certain other game, just neatly stored within a menu you "always have with you" instead of stashed in some bank or chest somewhere, right?

Please don't let the game turn into grim reaper skeletons leaving particle effect trails behind them and smouldering footsteps with furry tails and burning pink eyes and weapons turned into giant plastic rainbow toys

Immersion.
Id rather not have giant robot unicorns in a classic fantasy setting.

It's Christmas. This isn't some giant revolutionary change to the game. You'll still get your fancy armors you can wear.

I do hope it avoids going to FFXIV route, though, where people are wearing modern day outfits.

Go complain somewhere else. It's brighter shores, not nagging shores

Andrew said "no mtx". This is in-game cosmetics. I love the new hats and the ability to hide my armour. I enjoy customization in runescape 3. I predicted people wouldn't like this level of customization though due to osrs crowd of having to all wear the same armour sets.

What do you mean? I am wearing armour right now, and it is good to use. It helps me not die.

And wtf? Aesthetics serve no purpose? Really? You are going to say that in 2024 when that is just factually incorrect? People buy things just for the looks. I care about how my character looks in this game.

I am looking how I want while benefiting from the armour I am wearing. Nothing wrong with that.

Gear does look better the higher level you are. People complained about the low level armour looking ugly though, so now they can take it off and look "good" until they reach 200-500 in a combat profession.

Saying they won't prioritize gear looking good due to transmogs is wrong. That is the OSRS mentality kicking in, where any mtx/transmog system is bad, because then the game will make game look ugly/not care too much about the details of armour because they want to sell/make cosmetics.

There is no MTX system in this game besides subscription, so I doubt what you say is true. It is based on fear rather than facts.

You say "I just hope it doesnt meant there wont be unique armour and weapons. Im sick of the current system. Its worse than starfield"

I doubt it. There will be option probably but I doubt a level 500 boss weapon would have 0 effort put into it.

Yeah. I think that would be a good discussion to have with the community. Do they want a space suit outfit or not?

I personally think the games cosmetics should fit the game. You can still have cute maid/school outfits, but not a banana suit or something weird like that.

Also @Greb, a pajama outfit would fit the game though. It's not like pajamas didn't exist in the game. Why can't we have pajamas in the game for a christmas event reward when we can just have default clothing on right now and fight level 300+ mobs?

@Sir seal - That is quite the exaggeration.

@pyro I agree. I don't want a 2024 outfit that was just a fad in this game lol.

You lost me right here. The unwashed masses and I are not the same.

Normally I'd agree, but BS is pretty boring visually. The muted colour palette and generic creature designs don't excite me one bit. It needs a splash of creativity.
