No transmog confirmed

[I LOVE GAMING!!!!!!]

On their twitter, Pilestedt confirmed there would be no transmog for what is possibly one of the most petty reasons I have seen for anything thus far, the reason being that "it will not work like how it looks", right after adding a giant set of heavy armor with a huge collar and giving it the fortified perk rather than something which actually sort of fits its appearance, perhaps like extra padding??? I hope there are no armors you like the look of but which are functionally useless, I know I sure do, the last armor you get in the previous battle pass looked very cool to me, but 95% arc resistance is blatantly useless, so there will never be any reason to take this armor, but oh man at least it somehow looks like armor which resists electricity better than others somehow, it really adds to the gameplay to wear stuff you don't even like the look of for the sake of it's stats.

New warbond is explosive themed.

New heavy armor grants explosive resistance.

Checks outs.

maybe then give it like 95% explosive resistance instead of making it functionally identical to multiple armors that don't look that way??? absolutely inconsistent reasoning

Petty reason is why you created your post, if they don't want to add it, they're completely in the right not to

Yeah, ignoring the community asking for something, the people who paid for the game, a real petty reason

Hang on, I'd like some elaboration on this.

Why is this the most petty reason? A lot of the armours are themed heavily around the attributes they bring.

The extra throwing distance armour has some sort of mechanical shoulderpads.
Medic armours visibly carry more stims.
etc


What am I missing?

I don't mind transmog in games with cosmetic armour (like Cyberpunk 2077) but I never saw the point in games where it matters.

Because this way it's functionally identical to all of the other heavy armors with Fortified. So if you want heavy armor and Fortified, you now have several different options on what to look like, instead of being pigeonholed into a single armor piece. You know, so that you don't need armor transmog, because you already have multiple options available for whatever functionally you want.

"The community" that's you and 2 other guys that find this crucial right?

Most players I know of would rather see focus on important things that actually affect gameplay, or is this just another cape thread in disguise?

What if you don't need literally 3 heavy armors with the same stats when there are ones which don't even have 2? This is besides the point anyways, by their own reasoning this is a contradiction to their statement. I could literally say that the bomb suit armor which is in the store should also have fortified on it because it deserves explosive resistance as it is a bomb suit, yet it has extra padding, its completely arbitrary, which is what makes it petty to say no for this reason.

yeah, me and two other guys, that's why he even addressed it because it is only two people asking for it.

actually shut up lol

That reason is total BS. the REAL reason is that they want you to buy all of the future armor sets. I mean, there's already a number of sets that have identical stats but look different, right? Those are basically transmogs as-is.

Or perhaps it's their vision about the game?, yeah, shocking concept in a world of tin-foil hats.
