Wow... for an event that's supposed to be about transmog, they could've at least rewarded transmog that isn't hideous! Even if a lot of people already had it. Bring some cool sets to the wider audience. Don't reward low res garbage for a transmog event! Blizz really needs to add more actual fun into the game, lol.This guy gets it:
"Blizzard added a new mini-event but it sucks for 99 percent of the players" is no longer news. It's just to be expected at this point. I had a "Trump" joke in here, but I took it out. You're welcome.
Looks like someone needs new graphical artists. Oh well, at least you can get an undershirt for 1g.
Are they kidding with that mail set? Like, they can't possibly be serious, right?
If they put super rare/unique/unobtainable stuff there will be endless @#$%^ing because A: people will say they feel obligated to do it and B: It's community voted so people will complain that their content is gated behind other people's opinions.If you make it super cool looking gear as well you'll likely find that even the average transmogging player will have them, but by going with some older sets from either world drops or old heroics, you raise the chances that people haven't gone out of their way for it.But nah, like 20% of the wow community complains for fun at this point. Pretty sure Blizz could hand out free cash and they'd be upset it wasn't enough.
Give us the mop challenge sets. I'm sure everyone would be fine with that...
Good. I wanted to ignore this anyway, and with these rewards, I don't miss out on something i may have wanted.
if they made a tmog reward they could've atleast made some that aren't so ugly
I completely agree with all these comments.The rewards are really disapointing, i hope it is just some tests, we need unique objects !
But I already have these transmogs.. :(
These images seem to be popular on Reddit so I just want to clarify a few things as to why these sets may not be placeholder.-The Ensembles have been datamined since early 7.2.5, without any real name changes (mail went from Marshcreeper to Der'izu which just reflects the recolor of the existing set).-We saw the vendor items on May 23rd, wondered if they were placeholder, and then confirmed after another build on May 24th that they stayed the same. We've waited to post about these items for a long time because we did think they were placeholders, but if they're sold by vendors for several PTR builds without changes, and the datamined items have been up for a month or two, it's likely not placeholder. Things are of course subject to change but we did try to wait a while before highlighting it. Maybe based on this feedback Blizzard will add more sets as rewards in a future PTR update.
I would believe it even if you had posted it earlier after seeing what they did with T20...
Blizzard... Make unobtainable mogs the rewards. Simple. No average player can afford the Naxx 40 sets from BMAH for example. Nobody can obtain the two additional recolors of paladin t2 that exists. Nobody can obtain items from old Scholomance. Or make it a way to obtain old elite pvp sets. Even if it requires a high rating, lots of us missed out on a lot of nice sets. Time to loosen up a bit!
My guess is the extremly bad rewards is to balance it, since now most active Transmogers will do it just a few times for the shirt, and then never again. Since they already have collected the sets from being... well, active Transmogers.This way, its fair for even the most simple transmog-casual, since they wont have to compete with Good transmogers who actually care about it more than a couple of times!Edit: And yeah, was hoping for something actually new. You know, maybe finally give us the full purple Bloodfang or something like that.
Wow, did they just pick the ugliest sets for this? Unimpressed. The shirt is alright, looks like a darker version of the Gilneas one.
Maybe they didn't want the winners of the transmog contest to use those winnings to win further contests so they gave the rewards as ugly as possible?
I really hate Blizz for this, I thought this was at first a thing that would always be there so you could queue at any time but when Blizz makes it into a micro holiday that only happenes ONCE a year I got very disappointed, atleast make the set somewhat focking unique like atleast recolor or make a new complete set. Anyhow, guess I just gotta wait to august every year then :/
