About Transmog and its implementation

Great news on the post, some of the best in the last months for the game. Even so, even though I hate being a downer, and knowing the fact the system has not even released yet, some things have gotten me concerned about transmog. The transmog system is something we've been waiting a long time for, and everyone here surely hopes it comes out right. So, by hearing that it was locked behind bounties and/or silver, it made me somewhat wary in relation to it. Silver being involved makes me worry that the system might be so bland and boring to complete that you will basically prefer paying silver to completing bounties, as we have been completing them for the past few years. Make it so the bounties feel rewarding, with reasonable objectives and good rewards, with stuff like killing ads, doing mundane activities and such awarding 2 - 3 pieces of transmog per bounty. We have way too many armor sets to make it so that we have something like 5 bounties per day with varied objectives to complete. It might take months to turn everything into transmog even if you do every single bounty every single day. On that note, you could also implement a harder, weekly bounty, that awards 5 transmogs at once, a full set of armor. With also the possibility of avoidance of certain bounties by requiring Gambit matches and/or too many Strikes/PvP activity completions, it might very well feel like a slog that will take ages to complete fully. Silver should be merely a method of progressing faster, being able to unlock more things and etc., while also not severely outshining the bounties that should be considered the main way of progressing the system in the long run. Transmog items could also be added to both the free and paid season pass as rewards, furthering incentive to complete them. As a sidenote, since everything is being made into transmog and such, it would be very cool to add back the Age of Triumph VoG ornament for armor, with it being awarded by completing triumphs and such. It was some of the coolest looking armor in D1. TL;DR: It's great that transmog is being added, just add it well so it doesn't turn out like sunsetting. Nobody needs that again.

  • I've seen a lot of posts already of people hating on the implementation even though it hasn't... been implemented. I agree this needs to be done right but honestly, I don't think bounties to get materials are that made of an implementation. Now, we won't know until we can actually try the system so I'm trying to reserve judgement, but I also agree that to transmog something we should have to do something in-game to acquire the ability to transmog. Would be dope if it was more like, kill X enemies wearing this set.. but some people don't have full sets; could just be while wearing a certain armor piece but for all we know that's how the bounty could be anyway. Alls im saying is, I guess we'll have to wait and see. As a sidenote, I also agree VoG ornament armor has to come back and be acquired through VoG challenges, NOT eververse.
