Thanks

But the ugly burlap wrapped underwear is terrible, and it's undyable. It pretty much ruins the point of the Emperor Pants and Shirts.
Any chance for at least an art update on the undergarments when using these items?
Agreed I'm not much of a fan of it and wish we could at least dye it.
I just came on to comment about this as well. The T1 pvp armor my SW has on has a heart shaped opening in the front (not unacceptably revealing either) and now it looks like she has a dirty ace bandage on. I agree that it ruins the point of the emperor shirts to have a bra that looks like a sport bra (ragged and dirty, at that). I get that you don't want to leave the full nudity option, but go for a skimpy bra that still leaves room for creativity in appearance. Thanks
I get that you're going to have 12 year olds running around PE going "hurr hurr hurr" in their undies, but that's fine. It makes it easy to me to continue expanding the /ignore list.
But if this change goes live, I'm not going to waste the 300k+ AD to make the set. When it's purely a cosmetic change that's, quite frankly, hideous, I'm not going to pay for it. I'll just keep dying my pants and shirt to better coordinate.
Yeah, both of these options would be acceptable to me. I don't like the underwear showing under my outfits... and it's especially terrible if they're baby poo brown colored. I liked the old underwear (it does peek out from under some of the armor pieces currently in game) and would prefer either a small bikini/bra top or invisible unless shirtless type deal as well. At the very very least, dyable would be a decent compromise. Ugly brown dirty burlap just looks out of place with the beautiful armor we're given.
basically served as invisible clothing to wear under armor so you didnt have to unequip your shirt and pants to have the ideal style you want.
The bandage wrap underwear is yuck and you cant even dye it. And the bandage wrap bra makes no difference than just taking off the shirts to begin with. They're bad for many types of armor that expose those areas. An example of this is wearing Blighted Cloth Armor and the Epic versions.
They were right on the money with the original incarnation of the emperor shirt and pants.
Edit: correction. Burlap wraps.
What you had was just great....I made a set for my DC, who is using armor transformed to the Dark Armor of Lolth, and the result was....quite nice.
Now, I imagine that someone may have perceived that there might be a problem with topless female characters running around, because without the armor the effect used to be like this:
But really...the recent change completely destroys my interest in the transformation - the "solution" to make the shirt show the ugly "burlap bra" totally destroys the effect - I see no point in bothering with the Emperor transformation in that case.
Now, if you cannot stomach the risk of teenagers running around as topless Barbie-like, nípple-less females, the best solution would be the following:
Make the transformed shirt show the "burlap-bra" only if no armor is worn, but make it completely invisible beneath armor.
With armor, the effect should really be like as if you are wearing no shirt.

Completely agree...what's the point having a fancy armor that shows a nice bit of skin, and then destroy the effect like this
This totally depends on the armor you use. Most of mine at the moment would actually look really weird and horrible with no shirt or pants, or would have very small amount of bare skin oddly showing through small gaps because their armor covers most of them anyway. I have frequently transmuted and dyed everything so that the shirt/pants are a fully incorporated part of the look, and making them invisible by default would absolutely destroy my creations.
I think there should be a functional option, but I no more want to *not* see my shirt on most of my characters than you and your friends want to see yours. It should be a choice.
Further edit: Do I even need to mention that there were plenty of bravos and thank yous posted when the cloth and leather tunics were released which allowed female CWs and TRs to cover up their bare bellies if they wished? Apparently I do.

I agree here. The original Emperor's models gave us this choice. And you could pick to be skimpy up top, bottom or both. Or stay more covered without transmuting.
That's pretty much lost now.
Exactly that.
That's what the fuss from the top was about? All it looks like is a barbie doll; its not that big of a deal.
There are two "issues" here.
Issue #1: Originally, if an emperor shirt is worn by a female character, without armor, the character would seem topless, as in the second picture above. This bothers some people, so the emperor shirt was changed to show the "burlap bra" instead.
Fine, except that this caused...
Issue #2: Many people would have used the emperor shirt with non-covering armor - it is kind-of pointless with plate mail, but worked beautifully with certain armor pieces like the Dark Armor of Lolth (see my first picture above), the Hellfire armor (see photo earlier in this thread) and other similar armor pieces. However, now the "burlap bra" is visible, which kind-of spoils the effect many people were trying to create. This is obviously not an issue for male characters, but it is really, really annoying for the female ones.
The best solution to both issues would be what I proposed earlier, although I don't know if it is technically possible...
Have the "burlap bra" show on female characters if no armor is worn, but disable it underneath armor.
Basically, what we had at first was nice, although a bit expensive...what we have now is simply not worth creating.
And uh, yeah, I'd definitely not want my pants/shirt visuals disabled by default. My TR's armor transmutes show a lot of his underclothes, especially his pants. Like, almost all of his pants:

You really want to see ugly green-brown underwear and bare legs? :P (And bare upper arms)
