Transmogrification Lock

[Rasler]

Ive been playing this game since Feb 8th and I just want to say. As much as I do enjoy the game and the different clothing options. I would love if I could LOCK my look, so that even when equipping new clothing. My outfit doesnt change styles. Constantly having to equip better items then back out of gear into the transmog page to then reselect what i was wearing is growing annoying. My first playthrough I just wanted to wear my students attire. Second playthrough I want to do some worldly explorer kind of look. But just constantly having to change my clothes each time I equip something slightly better is just straight up frustrating. I really wish that we could get an update where there is a STYLE LOCK option.

Oh yeah... and the option to look up and down on the broom.... would make exploring and viewing the world and castle so much more fun. Especially for fun screenshots.

As I understand it, transmog is supposed to be applied to specific items, not the slots themselves. That way, you can quickly swap appearance by simply changing your gear, without needing to change each individual piece's appearance. That's the way it's "always" been (yes, I know there are exceptions).

Changing it per item tho, is not very quick once the list grows ginormously and you're scrolling constantly trying to find the spot of your few favorites over and over, when that "spot" keeps changing every time you pick up new stuff and the list grows some more.

This isnt how it works tho.... it just applies it for the time you are wearing it. but when you change to a better item it does not keep the look. what im saying is that they should make it where you can LOCK the transmog onto the equipment slot. so then no matter what I equip it can keep the look i want. then i can just unlock it whenever i want to change the look or see what i am ACTUALLY wearing

Changing it per item isn't quick, but having two sets of items with different looks you want, however, is faster than having to change every slot every time you want to change your appearance.

That's exactly how it works. The look is kept on the item, which is the way transmog works in nearly every single game (that I've played, anyway).

Not saying I wouldn't like the option to lock appearance per slot, but they didn't pull this system out of thin air, it's an "established mechanic".

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure the OP wasn't complaining about whether the way the game does things is "established mechanic" or not. They were only suggesting a mechanic that they would prefer to see/have.

Honestly believe being able to create "outfits" that are locked in rather than changing each item individually would be more enjoyable to many.

Now, if you wish to change outfit for a certain activity, you have to go through every slot individually. Or change it again if you get a new gear piece...

You're absolutely right, that's my bad.

Sorry, OP.
