WoW: The best thing about the transmog in Dragonflight was a bug, but everyone loves it - Blizzard is making a feature out of it

Unfortunately, the change to the transmog in WoW: Dragonflight was just a bug. But Blizzard hears the wish – and makes a feature out of it.

A few days ago we reported that there will be a pretty awesome change to the transmog system in World of Warcraft. In Dragonflight, some sets are much easier to collect. This caused excitement among the fans. But now it came out: Upsi, that was just a bug. But because it was well received, Blizzard brings the bug in a modified form as a feature.

Which bug is it? In the Dragonflight Beta, some players noticed that some factions were selling entire sets of transmog gear. These so-called “ensembles” are items that you buy and then unlock the whole set when you use them.

What was special was that you could also unlock sets for armor types that you actually can’t wear. For example, a magician could unlock the ensembles for leather or plate and add them to the collection. The magician could not use the transmog himself (because he can only transmog transmog cloth), but at least unlock it for other characters on the account.

What does Blizzard do with it now? Blizzard might have worked up a bit of a sweat when the topic came up and went down so well. Because it was immediately seen as a “great feature” – but that was probably just a bug. Nobody should be able to unlock the transmogs of other armor types. But Blizzard sees that the bug went down pretty well with the beta testers and explains in the official WoW forum further:

We recognize that players do not want to earn the ability to unlock Ensembles multiple times. But we also don’t want to create the problem where a player accidentally buys the ensemble for the wrong armor type, uses it, and then finds that they can’t use the armor they just unlocked. Therefore, in Dragonflight, we’re going to make the ability to unlock the cosmetic Fame rewards account-wide, so you can then unlock the ensembles with an alternate character using the appropriate armor type.

In short: You only have to farm reputation with a new faction once and can then unlock the ensembles with other characters.

Here’s how the community is reacting: Basically pretty positive. Since the original bug functionality is basically retained, most are satisfied. The only concern is that the ensembles may be unlocked with a currency that would have to be laboriously farmed on the second character. A few voices from the comments at wowhead:

  • “We were happy about a bug, Blizzard fixes the bug and still finds something to satisfy what we hoped we were getting? Fantastic.”
  • “Hopefully they do this retrospectively for other factions as well.”
  • “As long as the necessary currency to buy it is gold, that’s a good change.”

What do you think of the change? Good and useful to make a feature out of the bug? Or is that way too easy to earn?
