For future cosmetics stop making uniforms | Chivalry 2 | Page 1

Currently, almost every cosmetic released after game launch has a couple attributes:

The set borderline or actually ignores the existence of heraldry
The set does not mix and match with any other cosmetics
This offers a distinction without a difference versus simply being a clone of every other default and undermines near totally the reason that customization is actually present in a video game, personalization.
Customization without utility isn't much customized at all. Offer customization options instead of uniforms.

#

The entire Tenosia faction is victim to this to an outright criminal degree as well

#

A common thing exacerbating this issue is that almost none of the lusters match between helmets and armors. It's not just that they took a long time for visor up/visor down, but that it basically looks like you have significantly mismatched kit

I believe the luster thing is really a tenosian issue, currently none of the helmets match the armor sheen

#

However, both Agatha and Masons have their own unique, uniform lusters

within mason and agatha try changing between different helmets while using a mostly full body armor and note the difference in luster between the helmets and the various armors without even being explicitly a weathered or rusty helm

#

that's outside the context of helm limitations, as helms aren't mostly made incompatible for this difference

i think Tenosia just lacks so much stuff it wont match properly. some stuff doesnt match properly on other stuff in other factions too but barely but theres so "enough to spare " i haven't seen any backing of avoiding heraldry matching either its just not proper development. theres assets in the files unreleased that try to fit by meeting the luster. older tenosian gear is a bit different from the newer ones but in my opinion not much at all.

#

and some sets are just made to not match at all. aka the night tenosian sets. but overall its just huge lack of content.

#

we were suppose to get a tenosian vanguard variant helmet too but that never made it in either

They just need to do mordhau styled customization

#

Literally the only thing mordhau does better than chiv 2 outside of performance

#

Why tenosia armor sets don't support heraldry is totally beyond me. Except for maybe the default knight armor, they all have so much free space that's mostly just unicorlored cloth or leather. Biggest joke, of course, is that we got lv1000 tenosia heraldry without actually being able to use it on tenosia chivlol

they are suppose to but didnt do it yet, it seems all the heraldry has been broken on new gear since to the point they added tenosian gear more and more frequent, the only thing working properly was the huscarl gear.

#

the askindir veteran armor is also suppose to be heraldry but wasn't fixed yet

#

the customization system in this game was a total failure

#

And let's not ignore that since the reinforcement update, the art styles of new cosmetics are drastically different from the old ones, I'm not sure what happened to the art team, but it doesn't look good.

good assets don't mean good customization after all

#

they can clearly make good quality assets, but the direction seems messy

#

literally the ONLY thing mordhau does objectively better is customization

#

chiv 2 even has better herladry when the heraldry is working as intended, and you can also do perfections and face paint which isnt in mordhua

#

chiv 2 defintely could have better customization if they tried

blazing cradle May 18, 2023, 1:00 AM

#

chiv 1 had the best customization of any of these games and it was basically just heraldry and color palette

signal rivet May 18, 2023, 1:00 AM

#

i havent played chiv 1

blazing cradle May 18, 2023, 1:00 AM

#

if they could essentially have both systems properly coexist chiv 2 would have god tier customization

grizzled stump May 18, 2023, 7:07 AM

#

Reinforcement update was the 1 update that felt most misleading

#

Because they showed the tenosian tier 2-3 knight sets and they are only now releasing them as seasonpass rewards

All the new skins are extremely disappointing that you can't change the heraldry. It makes them completely worthless for ffa

visual thistle May 18, 2023, 2:12 PM

#

Even the original skins have too many forced red and blue parts you can't change, but the new ones are terrible

Yea that is true only thing mordhau is good for is its customization,personaly i tink if they make game customization like in mordhau with making armours more distinct for each faction mby make agatha more based on western europe,mason order eastern and central europe and ofc tenosia middle east and north africa with implementation of custom heraldry(ofc it would be restricted to colour patterns based on each faction lore) it could be cool but yea idk if it would ever happen most likely not but ok.
