We got another atrocious onesie for the game.
I’m sure some love it and that’s great.
I think it’s more trash for the Tmog trash pile that keeps getting bigger and unfortunately, more frequently.
I’ve seen the idea of a client side Tmog toggle before and I think it would be excellent to see this implemented.
A toggle to turn off tmogs for client side only, this would effect no one besides the user using the toggle much like the super important arachnophobia toggle we just got.
Who else would be interested in something like this?
I’m sure a lot of people would be. Personally, I think it’s a bad idea. The whole point of an MMO is to see and interact with others. If everyone can just turn everyone else into whatever they want then that puts a huge damper on the social aspect of the game. I agree that many mogs are so ugly and/or stupid it makes me want to throw my head through a wall. But one of the beautiful things about mogs is that it gives us variety in the world. People always claim they want diversity. Well ugly comes with that diversity. And if everyone can just turn off everyone elses look then what’s the point in diversity?
Also, they should add a way to turn off people client side, also turn off NPCs, also turn off mounts and etc. Why not turn WoW in a RPG single player? C’mon tmog is just a big part of the game and you just wanna it to be turn irrelevant?
I appreciate your well worded reply and I think it’s a good perspective to see from.
I obviously knew I’d get the," you have to see me and like it responses" from most so this is very nice.
For the sake of discussion, I don’t see how this would make much difference compared to all the other QoL changes that have come to make the game less social. Some people think dungeon finder and LFR have already destroyed the social aspect of the game.
I also don’t see how this would be too different from the arachnophobia toggle that changes things client side.
As someone pointed out, we already have toys that make characters disappear completely, isnt that preventing players from looking how they want to others?
I don’t see how this is different from the client side arachnophobia toggle.
This would in no way effect how you see your toon.
I am one of those people. I know I am going to loose more and more of it as time goes on. ‘It is the price of progress’, as they say. My objective is to conserve as much of it as possible as long as possible. I don’t always live up to my standards (no1 does), but on the whole I would like to see as little destruction of the social end of the game as possible. Even as a mostly solo/duo player I still want to the world to exist around me as a living breathing thing and one that I can interact with and influence (ie - I can mog and go out into the world and other’s will see it and react to it). Otherwise I would just go play a true solo console RPG.
I agree and I don’t think it should be a thing. Allowing others to change the world in which we all exist, b/c they don’t like some singular aspect of it, cheapens the experience of everyone else. Even if everyone else can’t see the changes being made.
We all like to pretend that we are atomized individuals floating around in space. It just makes life easier. But we aren’t. We exist in a society with other people. And everything we do and say affects others in ways we can’t see or understand.
