http://ac.wikkii.net/wiki/Tailoring
Transferring Appearance
1. Purchase a Tailoring Kit. NOTE: You can NOT Tailor an item that is Retained (Leather Applied). You may use sandstone salvage to remove the retained property on loot armor, however.
2. Apply Tailoring Kit to the armor piece with the desired look (Warning: Armor item is destroyed and converted to an applicator that looks like the old armor icon with a big arrow on it).
3. Apply newly created applicator to the armor with the desired stats. The icon and appearance will change to that of the destroyed item and keep the same stats.
4. The two items must cover the same slots (for example upper legs, lower legs). See Armor Coverage for which armor occupies which slots

i agree that lots of the good stats armor looks really ugly, but i also like that people have to choose between stats and looks sometimes. i like making those kind of decisions.
how about deciding how you look with what you want to wear?
I think its ridiculous WoW still does not have some kind of appearance tab or some type of dye system literally everyone looks the same when i go to Org

I never looted corpses UNTIL Rift. It drives Ayla crazy that I will just leave sparklies all over the ground, but sorry, I have early carpel tunnel. I could care less about sparklies.

I prefer the way DC Universe has this set up. Once you loot/obtain the item, the look is in your "wardrobe" or whatever you'd like to call it, forever.
This allows you to change whatever you're wearing to look like anything you've obtained for that slot.
I've wanted this for ages, because my Hunter would look so sexy in full Giantstalkers. I have the set, but rarely put it on as the stats suck :P

Great idea, though personally I like LOTRO's appearance system as a better way of implementing such a change. Both have merit, but both are moot. Blizzard will never make this change; they haven't even given us dye after more than six years. WoW is all about the gear, and the hardcores waste their evenings every week just so they can stand in Org or Stormwind and see on sight that their Epeen is bigger than yours, via the gear you are wearing. In many ways Blizzard is out of touch with their fanbase. They understand the addiction model/hardcore mentality with peerless accuracy, however.

Virtually every other company has figured out that players like this (even EVE and people don't even come out of their spaceships for that one!)... except Blizzard. Because Blizzard is the only one left with the attitude of "you play the way WE want you to play, citizen, and we LIKE our grotesque shoulderpads and uglified clown suits!"

Actually, I'd say Bliz does a pretty good job of figuring out what players want, hence the number of players for ALL their games and their repuation as one of the best game producers of all time.
Gameplay is more important than being able to customize the appearance of your avatar. Unless maybe you're playing SIMs or going old school and busting out your daughter's barbie collection.
I'd say this is a nice to have if the game can support it type of feature but there are so many more important things that it's barely worth discussing.
With Bliz and WoW I'd much rather see them focused on new content delivery over any fluff feature like this, realid x-realm stupidity, etc, since their pace of delivering new content is horribly slow and they don't need distractions.
Ability to mangle my avatar isn't going to keep me playing. New content to explore and crush makes me want to log in and keep my sub going.
As a side note, when I was playing Rift I'd often see players writing they wanted a barber shop like the one in WoW...
As another side note...in DAoC and Rift you could/can dye your armor and a lot of times players come up with hideous looking schemes that rival any visual vomit built-in to the game as "sets" or mismatches of level appropriate gear.

Frankly I miss the F7, G looting in DAoC. And yes, there needs to be a way to customize armor tyvm. While we're at it, I'd like to see customizable amor for mounts too. Either take it on and off or change the color or something!!

Yes, the reputation that the B-team has single handedly managed to destroy in less than a year.
Blizzard had a great reputation. Now, their own staff members are posting defensive pot shots at what were once "fansites" that have now turned on them

Oh it's taken them more than a year to do all this damage to it, the playerbase as a whole was just slow in catching on to what was happening thanks to momentum from more skilled devs than Ghostcrawler.

being to estimate an enemies offense/defense based on what gear they are using is a good thing tho i think....adds a little more strategy in target selection for pvp
And the solution is simple, the minute you enter a BG or an Arena the cosmetic gear goes off. If Turbine can think of this I'm sure the great and mighty blizzard can as well.
As far as World PVP goes, um well, it might actually add some you know risk taking and excitement because you don't know if you'd be able to pwn the guy or not. Yet, that isn't what PVP is really about anyway, it is about Pwning the person you're are facing. One of the reasons I refuse to play it.

Of course gameplay is more important that appearance. That doesn't mean they can't at the very least give crafters the ability to customize the appearance of either the stuff they create or other peoples' stuff. It seems like a relatively small change that would further enhance the game.

What's amusing about this is that one of the requests (to make new/good armor look like old/cool [T3/etc.] armor) is as simple as swapping a graphic ID struct. They don't even need to do much coding. Dyes might be an honest dev effort but can you imagine how happy people would be if they could make current hunter gear look like Dragonstalker/etc.?

its probably not about how easy it is to do it or how lots of people want it, but thats its just a bad idea. if they gave everything people ask for why not just give everyone unlimited gold and free exp as well.
I have no idea how you went from cosmetic tweaks to fundamental game-altering mechanics. Pass the bong, brah.
Shenron_ posted:
anyways as i said above i think being able to estimate a character's strength or spec from their gear is a good thing.
What, so you like PVP but you only like predictable PVP? Where's the risk/excitement in that? Might as well have full-time radar with hover-over tooltips that show you a "PVP gearscore" or something so you know when to stay in stealth. You do play a stealth class, don't you?
Shenron_ posted:
having it revert to default skin only in instances is no good for me at least since i do most of my pvp in the outside world. not to mention WoW is an epeen game. many people probably like showing their status by having the best gear set and letting other people see it. there is a whole achiement system with no rewards that people compete in just to show off that they have more points than each other afterall.
Thanks for being honest. I'm still laughing at you but honesty is good. Also, this is an _option_ you can choose, not a permanent global item change. I'm beginning to wonder if you're even reading these threads or just knee-jerking to the first thing you disagree with.
Shenron_ posted:
as for the dyes i think they said its not possible with the item system or something awhile back didn't they? think they said something about because how the detail of the items are its not so simple to just change a single aspect like the color
Dyes are indeed something completely different as it has texturing/alpha implications that need to be tested to make sure they don't look retarded in certain lighting or in other edge cases (like when people turn red from rage effects or blue from freeze effects or green from poison effects). People were _already_ doing simple model swaps on gear and class models at home before Blizzard cracked down on that and it worked fine with some animation caveats (like certain models didn't have a /dance animation, etc.). Remember how Blizzard slammed druids using model swaps that made their cats look like worgen way back in 2006 or so?
