Who Had the Bright Idea To Remove These?

Through a link on the DB subreddit, I came across the patch notes for the original Sparks Update (2/7/2014) and saw the above picture. This made me think, “Why would SD remove equippable weapon and merc skins?”

Is it because of the loadout card system? Keeping it under wraps so they can sell skins later (just like trinkets)? Other reasons that are unknown to us? Whatever the reasoning behind this decision, I can’t see why SD would ditch a potential money-maker that would also make a ton of players happy, specifically those that want to separate cards and skins.

Who knows, but loadouts are still one of the worst parts about this game.

I’d much rather have seperate skins and cosmetics over the abysmal system we have now. Hell, I’d be happy to be rid of perks if it meant better merc balance and free choice of weaponry.

SD headquarters:
-“Hey guise! Know that guy? That Gaben?”
-“That one who literally makes millions off of in-game weapon skins and trading of those?”
-“Yeah that one”
-“Why don’t we do the same?”
-"…"
-“Because fuck yeah reasons!”

I don’t know. Somebody linked to it on the subreddit.

But the update was from Closed Beta…right?

nope, that stuff is from Alpha pre nexon

edit everything pre Steam is still under nda

this is why they don’t have to spend time on skins etc

If they already exist, then why haven’t they been released yet? It it like trinkets, which were announced ages ago and only got rereleased just last month?

they were from an entirely different system than loadout cards, but now no one can complain about the devs wasting bug fixing time making skins. They may never be available. There were other things in Alpha that have changed as well, some may return. who knows

btw, trinkets were announced in 2013 for some of us

Could I have that Tiger stripe and that middle Sparks outfit on my Phantom? I’m not sure he’ll fit, but I’d love to see him try. :love:

(SereneFlight) #18

Oh don’t worry, they’ll make their way into the game when Sniff stops buying dem cases.
But those skins tho… would buy.
