Personally, I’m a huge fan of Classic remaining classic in every sense (except heirlooms), but when it comes to character customization and building your character, I really love the idea of having Transmogrification for the purposes of picking our own distinct look.
Transmogrification adds to the replay factor of the game, as groups of people will raid more to gather the custom sets they want. There are so many excellent gearsets to earn in this game, and it’s a shame to see them go to waste. Personally I feel we should have the option of showing off our hard earned prizes in a customized look. Please consider this idea.
Kind regards.
DISCLAIMER: Do not confuse this with modern Retail Transmogrification, where you can equip epic level 80 gear on your level 5 character…This is not what I’m talking about. Anyone who played back in the day knows that Transmogging gear requires that you be the correct level for the gear, and that you keep it in your Void Storage. Meaning that you EARNED it and that it is exclusive to the character you got it on. It also means you have the right to carry on with that achievement and represent.
It’s just my own opinion. Not something I think others should have, but any time I think I’ll play Retail, I’m like, “Oh yeah, maybe I’ll roll a … oh right. nope, not even going to bother.”
See that’s the thing, I always felt it was the opposite. Transmogging allows you to show off the achievements you’ve made in a custom appearance, instead of those things becoming obsolete - aka: devalued. It allows you to express a particular story, depending on the gear itself, and gives you the right to showoff your hard earned items in battle and not make a fool of yourself.
Always lining up for the next batch is meaningless and lacking creativity. It also backfires heavily when you’re forced to switch up gear you really like for ugly garbage. Just think back to the days when we had to transition between BWL gear and ugly AQ gear. I refused and wrote the first transmog idea threads.
I am sorry but no one in the right mind believes that we are getting the old transmog system from cataclysm. We will be getting the new one and thats about it. Not being able to mog lvl 5s but having it accountwide.
I don’t see how it impacts the game in a negative way. It’s a feature that should have been around from day one really. So it’s more of a fix than an evil Retail thing. If anything was damaging to the game, it’s heirlooms. Those dumbed down the leveling process and dungeon mechanics so that people didn’t have to think. Just because the original didn’t have it, doesn’t mean we shouldn’t have it now. It’s just a customization option. It only makes the game better.
Why? That’s kind of a religious response more than something thought out. What are you reasons for not wanting an objectively welcome game improvement?
Exactly. The more replay value for raids and PvP, the better. Collecting sets and showing off your achievements has always been the heart of WoW.
Damn right! Show that off in modern day! Smash people in PvP with style!
The no-transmog people are illogical and selfish. There’s no justifiable reason to deny others the right to showoff their hard earned gear in a customized look, other than some compulsive fixation on keeping everything the same as it was.
Why? State your reasons. Don’t leave a witless comment like that here without justification.
Personally, I don’t think anything that wasn’t in original Wrath should be in Wrath classic, yes that does mean I disagree with the H+ system, just like I disagree with transmog.
