EU+US Hurry! Save our transmog sets now.

[Quint]

Hi all!

I previously made a thread about how many transmog items we will lose in LEGION. I explained the problem here:

A forgotten issue of transmog in LEGION

I couldn't access the alpha forums, and I don't have beta access either. So I posted that in general section of EU. I couldn't get enough attention, and none of the staff answered me. It wasn't a surprise though. Only one player understood me clearly: Phatdog. He was so nice and helpful; he said he remembers me, sadly I don't actually know who is he.

Something's happened recently, because Blizzard has started care low level content, at least a bit. They have posted these on US (of course) forum:

Test Request: Armor Type Changes
Test Request: Unobtainable Appearances

I'm afraid they don't really understand our view, and they'll give half-measures to this issue. They've removed many things, now they're asking: which was important to you, guys? We will give that back.

So if you...

- are interested in transmogrification,
- have got beta access,
- have some free time,
- want to save items to our community,

then act now, before it will be too late! Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You wrote "That means warriors and paladins will be forced to use plate from level 1." which is untrue. A lot of BiS items for Warriors and Paladins in PvP in Legion will not be Plate nor Mail.

You also wrote "They replaced strength to agility on all mail items under level 40. Thereby strength users will lose all Bind of Equip (BoE) greens and blues." which is also untrue, partly. You won't lose the BoE's. I'm guessing the arguements point is that you lose them in a sense because you're gonna be running around with full Plate? My first arguement should prove that that isn't the case.

The real issue the OP has, correct me if I am wrong, is that Warriors and Paladins won't "lose" the items they have set back to transmog. But they will "lose" the ability to transmog some of his/her favorite items that they have either farmed, sought out on the AH or gotten from quests. The quest items are inconsequential as they will be added to the wardrobe. But if the OP has a favorite strength mail boot or glove equipped on his warrior/ paladin that he happens to like to transmog into an agility one he very well be screwed if he likes to change his transmogs around. Because that strength mail boot or glove stands a good chance of becoming a plate item. Satchel gloves come to mind in the 20-29 bracket.

On the other hand, it could open up a new and exciting realm of possibilities of transmog items for warriors/paladins/shamans. Who knows...

Have a great day!!

Did you even read what I wrote? Rofl

Which means you are not gonna be using full Plate sets.

I did read what you wrote. I also read what the OP wrote. And I addressed his issue, not yours. As we do not know what the OP's intentions are, other than worrying about his transmog sets with his current gear. For all we know the OP only does open world PvP, instanced PvE, world PvE or only role plays.

have a wonderful day everyone!!

That is very unlikely, as no one only does World PvP, instanced PvE or world PvE as a 19 / 29 / 39.

I challenge you to find someone who does only do those things.

I did not state that is all the OP did. Now did I? I did not...
I am sure there are banker toons out there that are level 19. Mine is a level 10. Does that count? It has zero PvP kills and has racked up 1000's of PvE kills. Enough kills to get the Ethereal Soul Trader's garb in fact.

Have a wonderful day!!

You stated that it's a possibility that he only does open world PvP, instanced PvE, world PvE or only roleplays, which isn't the case as there isn't a single 19 player who only does those things.

A bank toon =/= a toon that does world PvP, instanced PvE, world PvE or only roleplays.

Bank Toon == Bank Toon

Do you really think Blizzard let warrior/paladin/death knight twinks run in white/grey items inside BGs?

No! They will fix it in the first patch: all white/grey items's ilevel will be lowered, maybe set to ilevel 1. This would be strange in MMO marketing: You must collect trash items without any stats to dominate in PvP! Is it a joke? No, this is WoW.

Do you really think Blizzard let warrior/paladin/death knight twinks run in cloth/leather/mail items inside BGs?

No! They will fix it in the first patch: only those non-empty slots will be count, whose armor type same as your class's preferred armor type. For the same reason, Blizzard still keeps the "armor type restriction" as trasmog rule: they don't want to see warriors wear robes/skirts.

Believe me, full plate gear will be required for warrior/paladin at any level. These current "Highest ilevel BiS gear" joke guides will become obsolete soon. For example, do you remember when some of us believed Chef's Hat will be BiS in WoD? Some twinks had already started farming it... What happened after? It had been fixed before went live.

Happy to see Anvarra keeping your topic still alive, that is one of the fairest posters on the official forums! I can't post anymore, can forward stuff again to the Beta forums but that is it. This is still a big concern.

Only one player understood me clearly: Phatdog. He was so nice and helpful; he said he remembers me, sadly I don't actually know who is he.

Hello and sure you do now some of my older 20-24 toons like the Qßall family.

If there is something wrong with twinking or when there will be some sort of change with and or concerns... I've always been one of the first to defend our playstyle for years and years. So me being there was not something new or unexpected



Personally I do not understand this community. We actually need all to team up and make a stand about this concern on the EU and US forums with posters ande a lot of likes! like we used to do but sadly this/our community has changed for the worse and this will probably not going to happen

I pretty sure there isn't any plate armor below lvl 40 anyways. So yeah, they will have to do something to make new plate armor from 1-40. They should just make it depend on what class owns it. If it is a rogue that owns Defias armor it should be leather and if its a hunter with Defias armor it should be mail. Just like how the lvl 100 pvp gear has int on it if you are a holy pally and str if you are ret.
