Lylirra: Cosmetic slots are pretty sweet! Though, perhaps not the best solution for Diablo III specifically. I think your transmog feature is a mistake, and I would much rather see you blatantly copy rifts wardrobe tab. It's all about having an issue to address or a role to fill first then developing a feature to fit, not vice-versa.

Let's arbitrarily add a World of Warcraft feature to Diablo III > Does it make sense to add this feature or solve any issues? > lol, no > Find excuses to add it anyway. Identify an issue or area that needs improvement > Discuss solutions > Is the best possible solution based on a mechanic from World of Warcraft? > No. Identify an issue or area that needs improvement > Discuss solutions > Is the best possible solution based on World of Warcraft? > Yes. It's not just a direct port, either we've made several changes to the system to ensure that it makes sense within Sanctuary and fits the D3 game model. We based transmogrification in Diablo III on the working model we have for World of Warcraft, yes, but the impetus for adding it wasn't because "it's in World of Warcraft, therefore it should be in Diablo III" it was because (we feel) it provides a meaningful service to players, one that's at present missing and has been repeatedly asked for. Lylirra: We've no plans to suddenly starting adding features from World of Warcraft simply because they're from World of Warcraft. What kind of features would you like to see in Reaper of Souls instead of or in addition to transmogrification? And why? It's when you assume that your opinion is more valid than others (particularly if said opinion seeks to belittle the enjoyment of people who aren't you) and start to be a jerk about it that you need to be careful of your Double-P status.Įven so, let's entertain the discussion. Having a differing opinion isn't bad and it certainly doesn't fall into party pooper territory. I just think you're voicing an opinion that might be different from other players you interact with. Lylirra: I don't think you're being a party pooper at all. *See also: awesome, manly, epic, badass, like a boss. That seems pretty win-win to us, and certainly worthy of development resources. With transmogrification, players can continue to wear the gear that makes them feel powerful, while also wearing something that makes them feel pretty*. Unfortunately, right now it's super difficult to experiment with different looks (or even achieve certain looks) without crippling your character's power or efficiency.

You know what video games are not like? They're not a birthday cake baked by your mom, which means that they're not tailored just to your personal tastes. Video games are like life, or buffet lines - there are lots of different ingredients/features/options to choose from, and everyone will like some more than others. I don't think that anyone *really* believes that, though quite a few people posting in the Bnet forum thread would have you believe that they do. I'm not real concerned with transmog one way or the other, but neither am I worried that the feature is some giant timesink that's holding back development on more important features. you get this OR that), and we've no plans to remove transmogrification at this point given the positive feedback it's received thus far. Lylirra: The majority of design decisions aren't really binary like that (i.e.

I can think of so many other things i would like to see. Yes, not everyone will want to take advantage of transmogrification, but many players will and ideally it'll make their in-game experience more enjoyable as a result.
