Please decouple Skins/Weapons/Perks/Augments from the Loadout cards

(Gwarh) #1

I know I’m not the first one to request this but I’d like to add my voice to the choir.

I’d really like to see the ability to fully customize ones loadout based on anything that you’ve unlocked via a Loadout Card you’ve already collected.

So that way I could have a Lead Skin for my Merc, with a Iron Skin for my Primary weapon, a Gold Skin for my Secondary, and any 3 Augments choose from the ones on loadout cards I’ve unlocked/acquired.

I personally am VERY fussy about my toons appearance in games and can never have enough customization. I think that most of the low end Loadout skins look better than the high end skins, but I’m never going to use them as they have no augments. Also the Augment pics are less than optimal (I know that’s probably by design, but really is an extra 10% to this or that going to break the game?)

Hopefully there are others who agree and if so click the “agree” button below.

You’re definitely not the first to ask :slight_smile: And I totally get why this is a desire. The game is still in development so stay tuned for all news and changes.

Nooooooooooo the game is perfect this way (Although i need more maps :smiley: ) Its amazing in every way, having the load out cards is something that people dont notice about this game, it makes you play more to achieve getting the load out you want, crafting it. Simply beautiful. I wouldst support the idea of custom, because one of the things that makes DB unique and even better than some other popular FPS is the loadout cards. Maybe SKIN cards would be good you know, but having custom load outs would make the game WAY unbalanced.

I think this is a great idea, minus getting to chose which augments you get. There are definitely augments much better than others and that are not put together because its not fair to have one card with 3 AMAZING augments and another card with 3 REALLY BAD augments.

I hear what you both are saying and I don’t entirely disagree with you either. How about the ability to swap 1 of the 3 augments out then?

I’ve yet to find a card with 3 amazing augments :wink: imo, and some of the choices, for example increased heal regen say on Sparkz med packs (which are an insta-heal) make no sense and are just a waste.

Sell card sleeves that override a card’s skin with a special one. They can be exclusive to purchases only and/or be given out through holiday events.

Hell I’d just like the option when crafting Gold or Cobalt cards to select which loadout I’m going to get. I’ve got all these gold vermicelli cards but it’s not worth the gamble right now.

I will propose a better system…

-Skins are unlocked character wide.Any skin can be used on the specific char as long as you have the loadout with that skin.
-You can choose primary weapon !(only bronze and above)

Lets say perks to be something that cannot be changed, since perks play a big role in gameplay. We dont want everyone to be running with the BEST POSSIBLE setup !

Basically loadout cards are perk cards. You can change the primary weapon and skin on any loadout card. But perks will depend on the initial color of the card (lead,iron,bronze+) and perks cannot be changed !

Arguments should be coupled with primary, secondary and melee weapon or otherwise you can just stop the whole loadout thing in its tracks. Coupling good weapons with not so good perks and very good perks with not so good weapons actually demand a strategic decision. If you can have both worlds 90% of the loadouts will be useless. We are already at a point, where “net-decking” is common.

about the skin customization: It should be a combination of CSGO+Dota2. Everything else is half-assed and will leave something to be desired and will not be future-proof.

per Merc
per Weapon

This would probably something like this:
Proxy

Outfitslot
Primary Weapons

Remburg Skin
Hollund Skin
Hochfire Skin
Secondary Weapons
Tolen Skin
MP 400 Skin
Deagle(?) Skin
Melee Weapons
Stiletto Skin
Beckhill Skin
Cricket Skin
utility skin(?)*

This allows for an individual customization and the players can change the loadoud in the game lobby without thinking about the skins.

ofcourse the obligatory random options is always nice :disappointed:
