Lift transmog restrictions, please!

Restrictions have already lost all sense since all classes can collect the same sets which don’t look like anything.
You can buy tons of sets which all look like cloth, some looks like leather, and some looks like garden gnome or a half nude Hawaii tourist, remember those covenant races which armor sets fit ALL classes and all races? yeah those also exist.

Locked behind label: class armor? Hurr durr, here some BOE drop that looks EXACTLY like supposedly unique class armor piece.

So, I don’t see why you won’t lift class/armor type restrictions.

I like to mix armor on my toons, but I always stuck with unavailability of some fit waist or shoulder that could fit my idea which is from another class or type armor. Or I want to build something that my class doesn’t have because … why?

Weapons. It’s so funny that you can mog all melee weapons into artifacts that can be different type of weapon. But you still cannot mog daggers/wands into anything except daggers/wands. Why? Well wand I can understand. Since it’s ranged weapon (which never used as is because there are many other spamable abilities dealing much more damage, and I don’t think anyone cares that a wand projectile will fly from an axe or a staff).

B-but, you don’t understand! If you could t-mog everything into everything the class fantasy is ruined! You won’t be able to tell…

Oh, shut up! You already cannot tell who is who with what we have in the game. I just told you already that anyone can be a garden gnome, a pirate baron, a Sylvanas incarnate (with a quiver) or an aviator within ANY class or race. There is literally no class consistency with armor ALREADY, so having old restrictions is just nonsensical.

I understand restrictions of race sets (heritage) cause it’s kind of lore-oriented stuff. But there is literally no point to have other restrictions anymore. The same way there is no point to not have raid questing for a group that you are in, but here we are still doing nothing while raid is gathering, when you can do few world quests a while but that’s another story.

So do the right thing and lift restrictions. From everything except heritage armor (and maybe from class armor if you want that so much). It’s the only thing that is sensical today to have uniqueness.

I don’t understand how people like you can’t grasp the concept that this will never happen. Give it up man it’s sad to watch.

It’s funny because you also don’t know why this won’t happen. You literally have no argument against this but here you are making everyone believe your comment have any value.

I think what would be even cooler is plate, mail, leather and cloth armor can be used together no matter your class or main armor type. :+1:

lifts up transmo…

Ohh restrictions, yeah those too. They are overdone, tho I don’t know how weapons would work. Should i be able to transmog a wand over my 2h sword and smack things with it?

You always get “that will never happen people,” in every topic. And then a year or two later when it happens they’re like yeah I knew it.

List of things that would never happen, according to forum geniuses.

Queue dungeon content, and then after that sure dungeons but NEVER raid content.

Transmog in general would never happen.

Playable Demon hunters.

Solo content for newer BiS gear.

Heck they gave everyone AQ40 dresses which honestly I think is wild!

I’d rather not… Blizzard already seems like they’re in a race to the bottom… the quality of the game has slipped so much over such a short period of time.

If there’s going to be a decline in the quality of content and fidelity of game, I’d rather it was slow, or better yet, glacial.

Out of curiosity how would transmoggjng plate on my mage impact quality of the game?

So now my question if this is lifted, why have armor restrictions at all? Just put all three primary stats on armor and remove armor typing

Because armor type still impacts drops, most raid groups for example run a split that ensures all weapons, armor and tokens that drop will be used.

Removing that would impact the gameplay logistics. Removing transmog does not.

Slightly I guess, but like if you could put on any armor you wouldn’t need to say plate stack in dungeons, which is something already circumvented by armor stacking.

True, and your question is a very good one. I appreciate the discussion and reasoning at least makes sense.

Way better than people who just say “uhm no.”

You sound delulu

You might end up making yourself look a cool Tidewarden from Stormsong!

I’m a very split person on it, I’m someone who likes the distinction, when I see an orc warrior I want to have the general grasp they are that and not actually a holy priest who is wearing a full death knight set. But I’m also in the mind set of let people be creative. It’s a preference thing really and I can’t blame anyone for wanting one over the other.

Like one example I’ve used before is a rogue sneaking around in bulky plate armor. Some people can’t look past it and it ruins a sense of grounding. Other people not so much. I don’t think there really is a way to make both sides happy in this.

I get that, and I won’t say you’re wrong, but I do have two points I usually offer here.

First, with the trading post and in game shop there are plenty of cosmetics that all classes can wear that can be really confusing.

For example trading post sets that look 99% likely armor but I can toss on my mage to confuse people.

Second, I would offer a suggest and maybe it’s too difficult technically but Blizz could offer us the option to not see other people’s transmogs.

So I can see myself in a sweatsuit and shake hat, but you see my realistic and possible mismatched armor set making it easy for you to tell what I am.

How would it have absolutely no impact on thematic integrity? How would it not be a negative for immersion, validation, theme etc. etc. etc.

How would stripping more RP elements away from an MMO-RPG be a good thing?
