Transmog costs nerfed in beta

Hello! I’ve got some quick updates on the development and design of the new Transmog features.

• We’re working on making it so that outfit slot unlocks are warbind-wide, rather than per-character.

We’re also continuing to adjust pricing, including reductions to the cost to set outfits.

• We’re planning to reduce the cost to save a full outfit by about 60%.
• We will significantly reduce the cost to unlock slots.
  • As in the current public Beta, the unlock cost of outfit slots will increase depending on how many you have already unlocked.
  • The overall cost to unlock outfit slots will be reduced by about 80%.
• We’re planning to increase the total number of outfit slots available, from 20 to 50.
  • We’ve seen a lot of feedback from players who feel that they need the extra flexibility of a lot of slots.

We expect most or all of the pricing updates to come with the next Beta build, currently expected to arrive on December 3. The warband-wide update will hit the Beta at a later date.

As always, thank you very much for your feedback!

I think this is moving in the right direction. I was not expecting so many more Wardrobe slots! That is very cool though and should cover holidays and a lot of RP activities. Reduced costs are always good for those.

What DOES still bother me is the cost to Transmog the item slots. They are reducing it by 60%. Great? The problem is 60% of a huge increase is still an increase.

It costs around 90g for a helm slot on Live.
Beta prices were 444g for the same helm slot on the same char.

Step 1 figure out what 60% of 444g is. Then subtract that gold value from 444g.

1. 60% of 444g = 266g.
2. 444g - 266g = 178g for the head slot.

It is better, but I am not all in on the costs right now. It is like those sales where they jack the price sky high then advertise a “sale” that is not a sale at all.
