Customization?

[Wikinger]

how customizable do you think everything will be? will you be able to switch out different ammo like in PS? armor peircing, exploding, poisonous even? what about "dying armor" in a few rpg games you can dye your armor colors. will clans beable to choose color schemes for their armor. will everyone when they go to buy their armor or rides be able to choose color schemes that they like? what about when you build your character tattoos, hair color, eye color, girth, height, skin tone. im sure you will be able to set the physical look of your toon. oh also weapons on vehicles wouldnt it be way cool to equip your rides with interchangeable weps? say your going into a battle and you want a chain gun and a nade launcher on the back. or if you know there are going too be some air vehicles toss on some AA. i know all these things i mentioned arent functional but to some they are important. i for one dont want to have a character that looks like the rest of you NooBs hehe =p

how important are these things to you guys? individuality or cookie cutter.

Youll be able to make certain facial features and armor customization but probably not height and weight cause tha would lessen the hit zone on your char. In nots not cookie cutter though.

Youll probably have a Fire 1 and Fire 2 options and on certain weapons youll have more ammo to choose from.

yea i think thats probly the way its gona be, if you can alter your hight etc it would at the least not affect hit zones (in other words making yourself bigger woun't make you easyer to hit) frankly though, i wouldn't mind having no charecter aperence changing other then armor because asside from flying a symbole on your helmet how much is that realy going to affect things? :P so long as i get to play soon i'll be happy with a lot.

Most likeley you can change the colors on various parts of armor. Gold chest plate with silver gauntlets and shin gaurds. (not my style.)

I prefer black armor. Because if you can't change your hieght you can atleast have advatages with camoflauge.

[winged]

yea i am actualy rather big on the whole black/white or with silver mixed in there... but yea i have a fealing that if there is any way to camo i'll probly be wearing camo colors... (like in some games your visible no matter what you wear then i mix in a lot of white etc to be my style but if i can hise then i'll go with black armor all the way.)

Hopefully you'll be able to customise your vehicles as well. Like, the weapons on it. That would be cool! Also, I doubt this will happen, but it would be cool if you could buy new parts fro your vehicles to make them faster, better handling, better armour. Wishful thinking I suppose though :P

[Ao1xSniperkev]

^ that would be cool, but i dont think they are going that far...but we will see.

[The_don]

Nah I doubt they'll do it. But it would be awesome!

i want to customize customazation.... or mearly have the ability to spray paint anything i want ig. ill spray paint the walls with " markus was here " and draw a werewolf head next to it.

[b0unty hUnt3r]

They wont give customization to height.. only hair, eyes, chin exc....

[Kaine]

They COULD do the height and weight thing porportionally so that if you're skinny you have to be tall and if your short you have to be fatter. That way there will be the same amount of surface area no matter what. If somone was going to be a stealthy sniper they wouldn't want to be really tall, but they wouldn't want to be really fat either so they could go 50/50, etc. They could also porportionalize the HP to body mass. Makes little people harder to hit but easier to kill..

[Lexion]

That would still make it unbalanced, its always easier to hit someone horizontally than it is vertically cause of strafing.

[b0unty hUnt3r]

like i said.. height will not be changeable.... or everyone would be short. common cents $

Well, Markus is the greatest, but he isnt a werewolf. He is the son of the first immortal, and he was bitten by a bat as a child. His brother however, was bitten by a wolf and became the first werewolf. UNDERWORLD FTW

Well I kinda hope that everyone is'nt running around looking the same. I would expect players to be able to custumize thier charactors very well. Maybe even have access to different clothes at certian levels and ranks.

I know everyone in PlanetSide made female avatars cause they thought they were actually smaller. Then the Devs came out and said that the "Hit Box" was the same size for all.

So in essence they could be short or skinny but the hit box can still be the same size ...and true they may actually miss your visiable avatar but they will still hit your "Hit Box". Which will balance that out.

Aside from that I'm sure you'll probably be able to set things like yoru skin color, hair color, maybe some facial features or hair, and maybe some outfit pieces. to some extent.

I'm just gonna add on to the defense of what has already been said about this game containing variation.

As westerners (Europeans, Americans, and Australians) we all value individuality and etc more so then our Asian brethern, and anyways this game is designed for north America and Europe so I don't imagine there not being a big deminson of variation.

[Macenzie]

What they are saying in the little snippets of Information, It sounds like there will be a high level of customisation... Heres for hoping

[Lexion]

Its true that having the hitbox thing might make it technically even, visually it will not if theres great variations. With that I mean its very important for the eye to be able to see what you are supposed to hit.


I could assume that the Alteravers for example make up for their bigger size with better defense or armor to balance it out.

I have no problem shooting a midget :lol:

thats good to know
