Eh

#

Nah

plush nova
#

I did not understand ¿what you mean?

next crane
#

I just don't agreeBABA_IS_SPIN

plush nova
#

Ah 😅

Hairstyle isn't even present in 3/6 classes so that wouldn't be very helpful. You also can't see the facial features of 2/6 of them so neither would eyes. Skin color 3/6 you can't see them. Height would mess with the flying and would force the devs to reanimate shits in game

This game is primarily about the dragons, your character only takes up 20 or 30 seconds onscreen per match, and that's far too little to justify the added complexity such a system would demand

#

It would require months of work from the devs for essentially no change to the actual gameplay

next crane
#

This isn't a storytelling game where customization of your character is a big point and matters. It's a pvp game. Plus they don't have enough people to dedicate time to work on this

#

It's not really even that I'm against it. Some people might like it. Hell I love customizing my characters in games. But this one literally does not have the people to do this. Or the money to invest in it.

plush nova
#

With that logic there should not be cosmetic armors either, since the character itself hardly occupies any screen time. However there are and players like them, I don't see anyone complaining about that.

And no, the game is not only focused on dragons, as it is still important which human class you choose instead of the dragon class.

austere lava
#

That did not used to be the case and was a very bad change

next crane
#

Yeah

#

That human is the class is very new and very bullshit

plush nova
#

So ¿why not finish the job and separate the character from the class?

dusk veldt
#

Bc that requires a lot of work and they are a very small team.
It is terribly difficult to implement what you are asking at this point. It's part of why they seperated classes. Bc it's the best they can do fir customization rn.

#

It's not a bad idea...it's just...it'd probably be something very very far off

#

Good, or even passable character creation is extremely time consuming to implement

i'd love for them to add more diverse human options and im always the number one advocate for more varied looking characters but half the shit they add to the game is broken and i dont want them to focus on customization for both riders and dragons more than i want them to fix bugs. im afraid if they start doing a bunch of customization stuff it will just add more bugs to the game that they dont get around to fixing for a long time, i already dont like that they added the separate podiums and emotes for the podiums because they are brokennn and there was that one thornweaver animation that kept crashing everyone else's games

#

and that recent event helmet for windguard makes her bald. like the customization is already soo broken lol

I just want them to balance the classes pepe_crying

I am still holding out that they give phantom a small poison resistance

#

Bc thornweaver thorns are bs on phant

austere lava
#

That would be good

#

Maybe also resistance to residual burn damage from flamebreath

dusk veldt
#

Maybe. Resistance to DOT damage

hazy basalt
#

would be fun if they had "lair" customization that you can see on your profile screen ala splatoon 3 lockers but i dont want them to squeeze more money out of the playerbase than they already do, it would just depress me to see 99% gem options for random shit that doesnt matter

austere lava
#

But tw was torture

dusk veldt
#

Phantoms fun but it sucks when theres thornweavers on the map bc you can't easily dodge the dumb auto aim thorns.

Anyway. I'd be ok if they gave us more armor options to customize with, but outside of that....it's whatever

#

Its an ok system of customization as is for the humans.

austere lava
#

The armor is the only part you can ever really see on two of the classes anyways

#

I could maybe see the argument for a gender option but to me it makes no difference, I'll play Mara, phant, wg, or tw

dusk veldt
#

Thatd also take an insane amount of time
Bc then they'd need to tweak the armor to fut the new models 💀

austere lava
#

Yep

hazy basalt
#

i cant imagine all the new ways the models would break

austere lava
#

It'd half-again the development time for new armors as well

dusk veldt
#

Also imagine the gem grind...
Armor set (male) 1000 gems

Armor set (female) 1000 gems

hazy basalt
#

yikes

dusk veldt
#

Bc you know they'd charge them seperately

hazy basalt
#

also like. different hair color! 200 gems

dusk veldt
#

God i want different hairs so bad but OTL

#

Like theres a lot of thornweaver horns i like, but they're all green with white hair so...no interest

hazy basalt
#

there was the set with black hair in the last season pass i guess.

dusk veldt
#

Meh. I want red hair 😦 but theres only 1 red hair option for tw and stormraiser

#

Or blonde even...why is there no blonde at all

plush nova
#

Well, at least this was one of the best bad ideas I could have come up with

next crane
#

Yeah sorry it most likely won't be a thing

#

But

#

Good idea

dusk veldt
#

It is a good idea. Its just a lot for the dev team. Maybe in the far future 😦

@silver tide
I proposed something similar in this thread, although I inadvertently deleted the original post 😅

austere lava
#

You can see why it's probably not a good idea if you read up

silver tide

Ah i was so confused as to why i had a mention here lol
