@gynz ew..

but i admire the challenge of it.

@gynz

I like Rift because of the dyes. WoW was disappointing because you needed that heroic/mythic run to get the tint you wanted.

@chrightt

WoW 5.2 patch notes (in 2013) say:

Transmogrification rules have been broadened for several weapon types.

• Two-handed axes, maces, and swords can be Transmogrified to each other.
• One-handed axes, maces, and swords can be Transmogrified to each other.
• Staves and polearms can be transmogrified to each other.

The OP statement said "allows you to make your weapon and armor look like any other weapon or armor that you've unlocked". The OP didn't state specifically via replacement of the item model or a wardrobe tab where you can place items in. Again I can see the terminology to mean the same thing even if the mechanics are different. If that's something you're focusing on then don't.

While looking up Rift's Wardrobe system, it works in similar fashion to WoW's Transmog. After some searching it seems Rift allows swords to be transmoged/wardrobed as axes.

@hornyvikingbushi

game is isometric so it'd be hard to see those details.

@prometheus

I was not expecting to see a reply to this many people :D! I was thinking more of a 'more than basic kit' when I said that.

I’m amazed that no one mentioned the ‘magic’ and illusion of being able to change the appearance of armor.

There is a difference between transmog/wardrobe and illusion magic:

• Transmog/wardrobe are permanent. You do not have to use anything to maintain the changed look.
• Illusion magic has to be cast and most probably will have some kind of duration.

I'm against total transmog/wardrobe, for reasons people have mentioned earlier. It would be mood-spoiling if full-plate armor could be made look like a pink pajamas - I think this is not this kind of game (and I'm more into role playing your character, then making fun of him/her).

I would vote for a possibility to have control over the look of a weapon or armor during crafting - so the created item could look as badass as you wanted it to.

And I would definitely support possibility to change your complete look using illusion magic - not only weapon and armor, but also gender, age and even species. For example, you could change your look to an animal, to prepare an ambush for passing players, or just to avoid the pursuit of players or mobs.
Still, illusion magic would have to be cast, would have a duration and could be countered - either by high perception score or by different magic.

what if.. the transmog person was an illusionist that had your gear visual in a wardrobe? What if the illusionist was able to make the item completely change like.. uh magic..

I don't think anywhere we said we want bikini bathing suits as transmog items. I don't think anywhere we said we wanted pink PJ's as a transmog items. I don't think anywhere we said we wanted .. well you get the point. Put the ideas of current fashion, Asian mmo fashion behind you and think of the possibilities of just Fractured. Every time I've posted on this thread, I've thought of medieval style gear, not thongs, not hot pants, not tutu's, not TF2 hats.

@esher said in Upgradable Pets:

@jetah It's say in the spotlight with attributes. Charisma will determine the amount of pet and companions we can control, and we can charm other creatures. After, yes, different pet races can have different minds (as you said, strong leaders, pacific leaders,...), but I don't know if it will be implemented in-game

i'll find that and post a comment on it.

@emopausal said in Feature Spotlight #6 - PvP, Alignment & Crime:

Can you play the game as long as you want while completely avoiding all PvP?

e.g.: You will never be flagged and/or attacked?

From reading the blog post, my take is that there always exists a risk of getting ganked...

tia...

if you want to progress your knowledge (thus adding skills) you'll have to venture out. I doubt anyone will completely avoid all PvP. This is an open world PvP game after all.

@ganytaj It's been announced as being full loot for a while now. Eve Online has full loot and it's over 10 years old now.

@esher said in Upgradable Pets:

@vengu I was talking about the pet stats ^^ Yes you need Charisma to control your pet, but, if devs include some combat pets, they need to have some stats too ^^

why couldn't species of pets be controlled by different stats? Some pets may want strong leaders, so strength is the primary. Some pets may want wisdom or intelligence leaders. some may want dexterous leaders, etc.

It’s posted!!!!!

I never said the transmog would change a mace stats into a sword stats. It’s a cosmetic change only. I’m was thinking of Diablo 3 when I was writing that.

I’ve never seen a bow be able to be changed into another 2h weapon.

I do prefer the Wardrobe system from Rift than the Transmog system from WoW. Although the artifact weapon changes in WoW was much better.

@dybuk

Cosmetic pets means they can’t participate in combat. WoW has non-combat pets which are cosmetic only granting no combat benefits.

It doesn’t mean they are specific to a cash shop.

@Finland

Yes.

Reading...

That was a good read. Definitely answered questions and some speculation we had.

if i kill it can i loot your vault? can i own the pet?

@ildirettore said in Getting Antsy!:

@prometheus we all understand dont need daily but a weekly sup guys is always nice

I'd like constant. If it's weekly or bi-weekly or monthly. Just something to say "oh new update is happening in x time, can't wait". It's much better than "we're not sure when we'll see another update".

@mazikar but you still could. problem is when that content is last expansion and the new gear doesn't look as good. You may say "man that Natures defender and Fiery Avenger looked so much better" then you could get that look but retain the new gears stats.

I don't consider 3rd party p2w because it's beyond the developers control, outside of allowing trading. Any game that offers player trading can/may have 3rd party RMT. Allowing cosmetics to be traded gives people who will never pay a dime a way to acquire them. And cosmetics aren't inherently p2w either.

Even if there is no trading, it's possible for companies to have account services. IE you need rank 200 of something and you're at 150, that next 50 ranks will take 36h of continuous play time, you can pay a company to do it. I've seen services offered in Diablo 3, reaching certain paragon rank, plus all of the legendaries that come with it.

If Fractured has certain x,y locations that give skills, then there will be services offered to get you those skills.

@benseine said in How do you feel about transmog system for fractured?:

@jetah and the selfdefence part of Krav Maga teaches you that your fighting stance looks like you're scared, to give your attacker the illusion of control, while you wait to take control of your attacker So bring on that transmog system, great for cashshop items!

You fail to comprehend the main point. Transmog system is not a wardrobe, it is reskinning an item. Wardrobe is more along the lines of fashion (which is a better suggestion). Please understand the topic we're trying to discuss. Transmog sucks because after reskinning an item you will easily lose both the item and the skin because there is no way of avoiding death in this type of game unless you want to live in the town for your whole life.

I’ve heard transmog and wardrobe both mean to disguise the normal gear for something that looks different. I wouldn’t argue the terminology unless someone was seriously mistaken.

@darian

I’ve played games where all 2h are interchangeable, all 1h are interchangeable, all shields and all dual equip. So long as the animations are similar the transmog can work.

I’m amazed that no one mentioned the ‘magic’ and illusion of being able to change the appearance of armor.

I seriously doubt everyone here would check out a persons gear before attacking.
