agreed if they make good looking armors. so far they all just look like they woke up from nap and put whatever rag they found in the room or someshit.
Also im just wondering why our characters arm so goddamn long we look like one handed gibbon and face just look like that blob fish…game play is satifying but they really need to upgrade the designs alil…whoever this artist is he needs separate designer
As i understood it is mainly about armor, not changing a staff into a dagger.
and i have to agree. there are ways which allow players to do “fashion souls” without obscuring what armor they actually wear.
just imagine u only got the enchantment rolls for your built on a chest piece that looks like a pineapple, while you are wearing pants, gloves and helmet from a set that looks like a ninja. yeah that could be a funny meme, but wouldn’t u want that pineapple piece to look like a ninja too?
the idea to only apply armor transmogs from the same class seems ok to me. so if you wear 3 out of 4 pieces from a light armor set, u can make the other light armor piece that does not optically fit the set look like part of the set.
games that do this usually also require the player to either have at least once collected the item or craft a special transmog item. that way you would prevent that people just use endgame “looks” with lvl 2 chars.
and for other games it would not matter what type of gear is using the transmog skin, as PVP matchups are not balanced by player level, but by gear level. so if you wear mainly T3 heavy gear you would be only “matchmade” with another T3 gear player.
there are countless ways to adress that. and i too would love to look fashionable ingame without having to use gear whose enchant rolls do not fit my built.

the current state of armor is honestly so superfluous that i wouldnt really mind, but then i think to myself : If transmog was a thing then what would even be the point?
Right now, as soon as you get past the very early game, armor feels more like a vehicle for fashion than anything else. All of them have the same stats in each category (with ± rng roll), none of them have any difference, and all of them roll the same affixes.
I dont know whether id want more variety/difference across armors or just allow them all to remain samey so it doesnt hinder fashion.

I do think this whole topic is like at least a year to early to be discussed
this goes for half the suggestions in the forum tbh, but i think this one is actually a topic that can be reasonably discussed early
I can spend hours playing ‘dollies’ with my characters. It’s a game within a game!
Can we have eventual transmog in this game? There is no reason not to. Because I have the Cerim armour, and the idea that I only got to use it once feels so ridiculous, it’s a single player game, yet the item feels like some ultra rare mmo drop that drops once.
I’d like to wear a uniformed armour for the endgame, and at the least, I’d also like to toggle helmet off, something that is very very common in other games.
Is there any developer feedback regarding these features? Thanks

Hey there,
Luckily for you, we have a somewhat answer regarding this topic. The devs first said “No” to transmog. However, due to popular demand, they are looking into it and we may see transmog at some point, it however, isn’t a priority. So if we do, it would most likely be for 1.0 or beyond.
Hope this answers your question.

thanks for the reply!
I see, kinda sad it’s going to be a while till we see it. I hope the devs realize that fashion is part of the endgame of all rpgs

Even if not a permanent hide helmet option, I would really appreciate a hide helmet during cutscenes/character dialogue option.
I like to see my character’s face and expressions in a cutscene and dialogue.
Also throwing in my vote for transmog. When I play an RPG, I don’t want to look like a patchwork clown with heavily mismatched outfits or outfits that don’t fit the fantasy or identity that I want my character to have.
If I want to play a heavily magical build, I want to look like a wizard or sorcerer. If I want to play a rogueish or knight character, I want the ability to look the part as well.
Because weapons and armor have stats that need to be optimized for a build, you can end in a very unhappy circumstance of being forced into a look you don’t like.
This is even more important because the game by virtue of being a soulslike has high baseline difficulty that does not allow for stat optimization to be optional. Power budgets matter a lot more when enemies 2-3 shot you.

agreed, if transmog is not possible please consider allowing the change of color of gears.
Dyes will be a good solution yes, but if you do add transmog, only put this possibility in the same category : for heavy armors between plate armors, mesh with mesh, and so on. I don’t think transmog for weapons is possible, because weapons don’t have the same animations, even when from the same category. ((Btw this is crazy work devs, everytime i equip a new weapon, the moves and combos are different… crazy cool!)

Oh man this idea is so great!
The designs are so beauty to cant wear and look like you want!
I don’t think this is feasable for this game design. If you add transmog to the game you would practically need to only build one set of armor (per weight class if you want) and then you can just spend all your fallen embers on that and pretty quickly you’ll have the best build possible. I would like something like this but this would require lowering the fallen embers drops. If not, after not even the middle of the game you would already have one of the best loadouts in the game.

Found the same 4 items is almost imposible if they cant be crafted…
A limitation can be transfigure only same type of armour, but man transfigure can be epic with this designssssss
I wouldn’t mind an unlock transmog system. When you get the stats or level requirement to use something, it unlocks and you can reskin any piece of the same kind with that skin. That way, the thematic of the game is intact, noobs look like noobs, and it doesn’t turn into an MTX shop that trivializes finding gear in the world over swiping.
maybe this could be done with a quest for the cloth sisters. do something for them and they reward u with the option to change the appearence of your gear. this will be shown to u and coop players, but when in pvp, the original gear is shown.
that way we would get a NPC quest, our fashion urges would be satisfied, in coop we could boast with our nice and shiny new jacket and in pvp we would still see if the opponent is wearing mesh, cloth or plate.
edit: to get recipes for transmog gear/layered armor you would need to find a piece of armor u want to use, give it to the cloth ladies, they destroy it (analyze it) and hand u the transmog blueprint.
I cannot be the only one who fervently desires a more tailored (pun intended) fashion experience here! I love all clothing and armor designs but I don’t always love the outfits I come up with due to the RNG.
It would be just so awesome to have some form of transmogrification/layered armor to armonize everything, or even just so we can create the perfect look!

There’s also some clipping of armor that becomes apparent when you have wider/baggy pants and a full robe.
The pants by the knee and wider bottom edges clip through the Blackhaven mage robe.
i agree to some extent, but i understand also the other side, imagine some type of armor has cool look, but you are using completly different type, well at some point all players will look the same, therefore it diminishes overall variability of looks of all players. Thats said, i rly love the lether shadow set, but since it is only lvl 11, i was forced to use cloth armor of lvl 21 in combination of plated armor to get all my tankiness up, but i would love to stick with the lether armor look from lvl 11 because it looked sick and fith the narative of the character. At the end, my character looks like clown, but it is killing everything like biggest gigachad.
You can actually get any armor to the same level just by upgrading it. I think the max level equipment rank is 16?
