This Talk Will Trigger A Lot Of Classic & Retail Players

[@ZblockWoW]

Transmog is one of the best parts of WoW. They should add it to Classic, but add an interface option to disable it so people can still have the authentic Classic look and feel in their client.

[@johng2794]

i can get behind that idea

[@anthonyvelez8002]

I've said this for too long. It's those little Andy's that want you to be as miserable as they are. I hate looking the same as everyone.

[@timmmaaah5333]

Lol people get mad about anything In this game.

[@nineeerie6518]

True! So fk em

[@ISesseriI]

I honestly can't believe so many people would be against transmogs. "Everyone looks like a clown" and then in classic everyone is a clone with zero personality. Mfas will spend every moment of their lives farming Shadowmourne and then they literally can never use it after wotlk or ever show it to anyone because its too low ilvl. I also agree that people just are afraid of change or they just hear about how bad it is from someone else and then base their entire view of the game on that. I have to regularly explain to ffxiv players that wow is more alt friendly, or that the community isn't some gigatoxic cesspool like league of legends, or that class balance has generally been ok outside of a few outliers that are underperforming (like affliction lock last expac). It's not even like I'm some wow boomer, I started in 2019 playing classic and moved on from there to retail. Now I enjoy both FFXIV and Wow because they offer me different things that are done very well in their respective games.

[@Element_Doom]

@@ISesseriI retail had an event some time ago i believe, where people could put on old weapons like Smourne and they would scale up. (Maybe it was underleveled players queueing in arenas/dungeons or something, as your gear doesn't even matter in retail anymore, and people with lower level and worse gear get scaled up, to the point where they even outperform everybody else, because the scaling is that over tuned) If everybody is a Unicorn, nobody stands out. That's what made R14 gear, Hand of Rag and Shadowmourne, etc. so special. (Because you actually had to put in effort to obtain them) In classic you're not the Champion who has both Thrall and Jaina on Speed Dial, you're just a mercenary of the Horde/Alliance, one of many, so there isn't anything wrong with looking like a "clone", it's essentially your battle uniform. I also think you're operating under a misconception, climbing from Pre-Raid BiS, to T1, to T2 then to T3 has always been a huge deal. It didn't really matter you looked the same as somebody else, what mattered was progressing. You'd see other people that are ahead of you and inspire you, to look as cool as them.

[@opbolny]

@@Element_Doom idk if it does anymore but you used to could wear your old legendaries in timewalking dungeons and they would scale properly

[@ISesseriI]

@@Element_Doom Climbing the armor tiers was cool and inspiring when everyone was 12 years old playing through vanilla 20 years ago. Vanilla armor does not impress me, the stats and what someone went through matters way more to me than the appearance of what is honestly some bland looking armor. Thats not to say you can't look cool in classic, you just literally cannot stand out because everyone is wearing the same BiS, you dont look different from the other warrior in your guild, and god forbid if your set looks ugly. Have fun looking like an bargain bin action figure.

[@Bubajumba]

@@ISesseriI I agree with him 100%. Transmog is fun but it takes away the soul, looking perfect all the time is cool and all but it gets old real quick. The real difference between 20 years ago and now is people care only about themselves, back then its was more about the collective, how other people looked now people just want to look good for their own enjoyment and don't care about other peoples process etc.

[@Scionofgreyhaven]

Back in the day we didn't need it because geared people were harder to come by so it was a badge of honour to have endgame gear to look cool, Also BiS wasn't such a big thing so people would have mixed matching outfits with different pieces.

[@AkanAsse]

I would love some transmog in classic. Would be nice instead of a clownsuit. Red gloves, green boots, blue chest and pink shorts.

[@MrToastyTank]

Savix is right, I agree with him 1,000,000%

[@Hapkins-le6xf]

Classic and retail being different is good. Different audiences, different wants.

[@hoodymcmayhem275]

I’m a real classic Andy, so I’m qualified to make a comment. tmog is not as bad as most of the classic players say it is. They are just scared of change lmao. Tmog wouldn’t change the game in any negative way. And for the people who say “I wanna know if I see a t3 player” well that translates to “unobtainable” items. So people are are like ohh man look that dude got elite glad, “ he’s prolly a beast” or he swiped lmao. It’s literally the same thing. I think tmog should open up at lvl 60 for SOD. Savix is not wrong here. Again im a classic Andy and I approve of tmog. I agree, the no changes people should be in era. Let classic+ be something fun and new. Cheers sav, you a goof ball but a real one and I think we all appreciate that. Take care dude

[@Furball_]

I would love transmog in SoD and Classic, So many cool little items and sets you can mix and match. Let people be crative or run their favorite looking sets, why not? Fuck the Classic Andies.

[@CatDad312]

I’d like to remind everyone that using PvP as an argument for not having transmog doesn’t make sense considering we can transmog into Goblins, Ninjas and Pirates to hide our gear. People use weapon swap macros all the time too.

[@mugetz696]

Still isn't transmog. Your shapeshifting into another temporary form like a druid. Your armor still looks like generic player nr. 15789.

[@wowprobeast7543]

@@mugetz696think the point went over your head. If the reason u don’t want tmog is bc u want to tell how geared someone is that’s not always an option. When you are transformed as a skeleton or pirate or ninja your gear doesn’t display at all.

[@mugetz696]

​@@wowprobeast7543 Seems like you did not understand my point entirely. There is a big difference between shapeshifting into a temporary form to hide the way you look and changing the way your individual armor parts look persistently. When shapeshifting you look like a NPC. The point of transmog is not to hide your armor, but to make it looks like the way you want to, so you can show it of. Classic players...

[@markoliver314]

@@mugetz696 That wasn't even the OP's point. It seems wowprobeast is right you completely missed the point lmao...

[@mugetz696]

@@markoliver314 Both you and OP don't know the definition of transmog. Get your facts straight. Here is a official discription so you can understand: "Transmogrification (commonly referred to as transmog, tmog, xmog or simply mog) provides the ability to replace the appearance of your armor and weapons with those of other items, or to hide certain pieces of armor." Transforming a.k.a. hapeshifting is and will never be consided transmogrification. The point of transmog is to make it look like a set you aquired before. Not to transform into a shitty skeleton or pirate NPC. be it PVP or PVE. Both you and OP missed the point of the video entirely.

or just keep playing retail and recognize it as the superior game it is

I mean I played throughout classic with imorph so I have to give it up there. Wouldn’t be half bad 😂

[@popesymbolism9365]

both are iterations of the best game to ever exist

[@maddyleaf]

The argument for no transmog comes from a place of wanting gear to have meaning and personality. There are no items in retail that you know the name of, but you can name me several items which almost has legendary status from Vanilla, TBC, Wrath. In retail, gear is just a stat piece and nothing else. That doesn't mean I don't enjoy making my own fits on retail, it's a big part of retail for sure, but you can't tell people that they shouldn't care about what I described. Personally, when I play vanilla servers, I find it hilarious and charming when everyone has their small bis sets and look hideous. In any case, I think you can do whatever you want with SoD, I'm not the target audience for it anyway. SoD is made for retail players and that's fine, so by all means, add transmog and barbers. I just don't think the actual "Classic" audience is getting their wishes fulfilled at the moment. Just make a seasonal era for those of us who want the vanilla experience, please.

[@mikealgiers7852]

"No items in retail that you know the name of." Speak for yourself. Weapons off the top of my head: Tae'schalach Scythe of the Unmaker Rae'shalare, Death's Whisper Nasz'uro, the Unbound Legacy Gorehowl, Might of the Warchief Fyr'alath the Dream Render Armor off the top of my head: Tusks of Mannoroth Diadem of the Highborne First Satyr's Spaulders Shadowghast Pauldrons Screaming Torchfiend's Burning Scowl Piercing Gaze of the Risen Nightmare Everything except Gorehowl drops from raids and about half of them have a less than 10% drop rate so it's not like people had this stuff handed to them on a silver spoon. And I know the names of these because they were pieces I've chased specifically because I saw another player wearing them. Like your argument doesn't hold up.

[@maddyleaf]

@@mikealgiers7852 Well, you misunderstood my argument. I understand there a cool looking pieces in retail, I've never said there aren't. What I'm talking about is more than just appearance or stats, it's the whole package of something being a chase item, something that is entirely unique, it almost has a legendary status. It doesn't even have to look good, an example of this is Bonereavers Edge, it's ugly as hell, but it was every warriors wet dream to get one for PvP. Simply because of its unique effect. There a quite literally 100s of these items in Vanilla, things that have such an impact or effect on your gameplay or upgradewise, that it imprints on your mind. I can also name a couple of pieces I think look cool from the past 20 years of WoW, but that wasn't what I was getting at. In retail, I can't name a single item where when I got it, I felt that feeling of when I got Bonereavers Edge or even getting fucking Whirlwind Axe as a warrior while leveling. Every upgrade on retail, is a minor stat increase, I can't even fucking remember what the weapon was called I got in Nerubar Palace yesterday. Back to my overall point from the beginning: Transmog isn't the entire reason, but it's a part of why gear doesn't feel unique anymore, another one is that general unique effects are reserved for trinkets or tier sets. And again, this is a personal opinion, I'm not out here telling people that transmog should be removed from retail or even that it shouldn't be in SoD - I don't care about that, I'm simply giving a perspective that a lot of Vanilla enjoyer types have, myself included. I also hate flying mounts, but I would never advocate for removing it in retail either, but that doesn't mean I can't share my perspective on what kind of negative effects I think it has on the game.

[@AtilonWoW]

Gear having meaning and personality is pretty much comes down to their stats, not their actual look

[@veppy4952]

@@maddyleaf you're argument stems from the same place the other guy was pointing out. Classic andies can only name the shit EVERYONE wants. Surely people cant name off random ass off pieces from naxx, or aq40. It's the same shit, everyone knows BRE, DFT, CTS etc.
