I will truly be disappointed as I have fought for this feature for quite some time now. Having be mtx will upset me quite a bit, but if it is pay per transmog, I will be livid.
Free transmogs only work if your store skins are better than what’s available in the base game. That is very much not the case here.
I think transmog should be split into two systems - a collection system and skin creation.
The collection system should be completely free, obviously, and should include a comprehensive preview area where you can see the items against the skins you are currently wearing and with dyes applied, whether you have those dyes on you or not. You would not need to actually dye the items, because we are going to be able to dye the skins, it would just be good to be able to see an accurate preview of how things will look together before committing an item.
The skin creation will require a transmog token and allow you to choose a skin from your collection, customise it and turn it into a skin that you can apply on your gear for others to see.
The transmog token should be obtainable in multiple ways, including buying it from the cash shop. Other ways could include being a season pass reward, being a rare drop or quest reward.
Transmog is going to kill the cash shop skins, so it’s fair to add a way to make up that revenue. Looking at how they have monetised gearsets (aside from my complaints about gearsets themselves), I am hopeful they will find to make transmog both free and paid.
- insert chosen topic here - is the lifeblood of the game and the only thing I care about! Of course everyone will leave!
It wont kill the cash shop skins if they just add good, high quality skins. Especially in regards to weapons. They could also add things to these armors that in game armors don’t have like effects and maybe even moving pieces on the weapons etc. Many many games have transmog AND skins and they do it just fine. It’s just not a valid excuse, see basically any other mmo.
I am tellin you, transmog being p2w along side a battle pass drop is gonna piss a lot of people off.
I have come to expect that with the NW forums.
Just like gear sets could have been a straight win, muddled by MTX transmog will be the same.
Transmog will bring back people for one day.
Good to know everyone here works for charity and chill vibes. I don’t necessarily disagree that transmog would be best if it wasn’t monetized, i think the gearset thing is completely fine in my mind. Please don’t spend additional money that you may not have budget for so you can feel cool in the game. It’s pretty clear that some of you are stressing big time and need to reevaluate.

Dude. New World trying to set a standard that it is okay to charge for transmoggng to in game items is unacceptable in MANY peoples eyes. Ofc we dont know if they will charge yet.
But lets pro-actively complain about it before we know!! YEAH!!
There was some serious rumors going around it could happen and I am stating that it will be a disaster if it does.
Edit: I guess you are right im complaining ahead of time, but I am also certain that if they make this move it will be a huge gut punch to many people.
There was serious rumors that NW would not make it 6 months, then 1 year, then 1 year and six months and now they are just vague “It will die. Soon. Maybe… possibly within our lifetime.” declarations.
Maybe some people will take it that way. And I certainly think you care enough about the game to want the best outcome for it and that is what you are attempting to head off.
We’ll see. Hopefully it wont be bad at all.

Well I initially made the post because of how many people I had seen worried that p2w transmog would come. So I simply voiced it for everyone here.
I think the p2w fears of the forum in general are greatly over-blown. Most of it is just FOMO and knowing that they will crack open their wallet when the rubber meets the road.
Well I actually financially cant. I cant make willy nilly mtx transactions as I don’t have as much money as most people. It took me until this week to buy a skin in NW despite playing it the entire time. So for some of us, it’s basically locking us out of the feature entirely. Which is why we get so concerned.
Sorry to hear that. I certainly have been in the same situation in life and understand completely.
