Swedguy Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Having a hard time finding a nice looking gearpiece for your Marauder with a nice hood? Is there a type of chestpiece you think would look nice that isn't available ingame? How about this; being able to create or modify orange gear pieces you can put your mods into and have your customized gear look how you want; add a mantle, cape, shoulderpads etc. Any thoughts?

redsovereign Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 (edited) Impossible to develop unless you hoard a bucket load of dollars/euro into the project add to that, that you need to build a whole wardrobe system around it (like Valve did with Dota 2). It's not something you can just slap together now also how would you actually produce the sets with your idea? In Dota 2 it works in this way; Valve picks the winner that gets the most vote out of all the sets each week or month and push them to the live servers. However the wardrobe feature in Dota 2 is extremely robust with very set rules on what you cna and cannot do, this to ofc limit the crazy things you can do and actually make sets work on the characters. However AGAIN Dota 2 were built already from the start with this system in mind. When valve and Icefrog started to work on Dota 2 engine they had already then made up the idea to have a wardrobe system thus every hero in the game were designed with this in mind that's also why some heroes like Nightstalker have had problems with his wings dissapearing or female heroes loses their hair on their portraits when they die (wardrobe bug). In Dota 2 every limb is exchangable. They don't just slap some bodysuit on the character like WoW does. When you pick a set item like a weapon or legs or arms that specific part of the hero is switched out individually. It works when you have a set max of 10 heroes on the screen but imagine when you have 150+ people standing on the fleet and the poor server/your computer have to start reading information about every single character that have totally individual pieces of limbs attached to them. RiP in peace server.. I'm not against the idea ofc because it would be cool but it's not realistic, it's not revenue efficent and it's just a waste of resources as in time and money to push this add to that, taht it might not even be possible to do something like thissince TOR engine were not built around a sandbox wardrobe feature. As much as I loved the character creation system in City of Heroes/Villains the adaptive system in TOR is more then enough. All we need is MORE sets to choose from because you can already mix and match to your leisure. We just need more things added.
