Skins

(-PogS-) #1

Hi all,

So far, I am really disappointed by the quality of most skins. For example Cobalts are really basic to me. Nothing worth paying for them to me. I am prepared to pay for alternate well designed models that really stand aside from the standard model, not just recolored skins.

Take example of Smite : They have basic recolors that can me bought with ingame money and real money and complete model overalls with voices that can only be bought with real money.

I really hope Devs have something similar in their pipeline. What do you guys think ?

Smite is a bit of an outlier in great quality “reskins” which are actually whole remodels. Dirty Bomb needs to take the basic steps of separating gameplay from cosmetics, first.

I totally agree with the separation.

I also would like the loadout card preview screen to be modified. Have the Loadout Card and enemy/ally selection list moved on the right part of the screen somewhere so that you plainly see the model.

It has been said a lot already. We need 3 cards: Load out cards, merc skin cards, weapon cards (those ofcourse double as skins). I think it has already been confirmed that weapon cards are in the pipeline, but that leaves the problem persevere where a merc skin is attached to a load out.

Take f.e. sawbonez. I only want to play with just one load out, being the load out with “get up” and “potent pack” ability into the same load out. I would never use a merc skin no matter how cool it looks if it is attached to a different load out. This results in me just sticking to 1 card while I would be happily buying/grinding for a good looking skin.

On topic: I agree that they need to be more creative in the skins they produce, although your example is quite extreme.

Of course this is extreme, this is a modern game and it’s harder to be so creative but still. There are tons of things they can do.

I didn’t realize camden had textures so long ago. Seems like mappers were all reassigned to unannounced :frowning:
