Transmogrification and you!Follow

Are they supposed to look like the dudes from Burning Crusade? It's an interesting teaser that's for sure. I'm pretty sure Blizz has already said they're going to give us access to dying our gear at some point. I remember them making NPC's based on the girls from The Guild, that were in Booty Bay. Still waiting on that though. =x

I bet on gear appearance change.
Would be awesome.

Seriously. Being all orange (other than purple cape of course) except for my turquoise toilet bowl shoulders is killing me.

Or a 318 green. =x I think the negative rep of PvP gear for PvE is rather silly. If there's one of two pieces, it isn't going to be that big of a deal. Now if they're in full PvP gear, that could be an issue.

Exactly. Getting tired of people throwing a fit over the least bit of resilience they find on your gear, without just for second looking at the bigger picture.

PvP gear might be less than ideal, given that resilience is now a total waste for anything but PvP, but level 371 armor has enough of a budget to make up for that for the most part when compared to what would be available otherwise. Base stats are significantly higher, so that ultimately you're not losing more than a gem's worth in a secondary stat. If you're wearing 2 pieces of PvP gear, you're getting a quite significant stat bonus on top, evening things out even more.

Some classes have rather sweet bonuses on their PvP gloves too, and it's not exactly easy to put things like a flat 2% FoL crit chance up against some mysterious combat rating (in case of my Holy Pally)

Hell yeah, if you got good PvE gear available to you, it would be dumb to keep using the PvP crutch, but until then..

Besides... a fancy helm from Nefarian just won't keep people from standing in bad stuff, ignoring basic tactics, or generally being stupid.

The T4 druid helmet is the only one I never minded showing. All others in the game look so bad that I generally have the display deactivated on all my toons. Can't stand looking at them.

But they really gotta do something in the ways of customizing. My warrior has been stuck with the same damn sword model ever since I stepped into Stonecore the first time.

I'm on a RP server, so at least while you're in town you don't get too tired of everybody looking exactly the same.

But... looking good, with an individual touch to it, AND having the latest stats on your stuff.. that's sorta like a wet dream.

Yeah... Not to sound like a wounded puppy, as I definitely jumped to that hope, why go straight to idiotic? I mean, NO one knows what this means, it is all speculation. I feel like it is a bit silly to point your finger and call people idiotic for that. I really want a cool and different looking race.

Anyway, I shouldn't cry about it on an internet forum, guess I just want to know why you think Ethereals as a race is totally out of the question?

It's amazing what they do with corrugated cardboard these days.

don't say it won't happen...

I didn't call it idiotic, but I'll answer your question. It's idiotc because the only new thing in that picture is <Void Storage> and <Transmogrifier>. Ethereals have been around forever. If they were teasing at Ethereals being a playable race, wouldn't they show a picture that was more like the view you get while playing your character, something from behind and slightly above the character's point of view.

If this means I can keep my Warlock in T5 forever I'll be a happy bunny.

T1 is hawt, I need to start wearing it in town again.

I've been thinking about how this "Transmogrifier" could actually work, especially with Blizzard stating over and over that they're concerned with growing databases and all...

Adding a costume tab like many players have been asking for would fit right into the "not enough resources" category. You would very much have to double the equipment fields (slots) for each character, with the exception of rings and trinkets. I don't think that's likely to happen.

What sounds reasonable, though, would be to take your piece of maybe T12 gear, put it into a slot on the Transmogifier's interface, add the piece of gear you want for looks to another slot, and for a small fee that bandage dude will just transfer the stats, destroying the original pieces in the progress.

Well, the destruction part could actually be something where that Void Storage could come into play. Gear might not be gone for good, but retrievable from Void Storage for a small fee.

However it's done, though... I'd sooo go back to Ahn'Qiraj with my female toons for the Vestments of the Shifting Sands and all its variations...
