Costume system

[Anjou]

Art team made the look of my AF1 gear as well, sadly, they did not make the stats, which are mostly terrible to the point I would never use them, so sadly I do not look like I want to. Were this option taken, I would be able to use the look of many gear I would not normally of which they designed, and thus, put more of their work into use, rather than only the art which is used for the best gear around.

Not only does this let people express their own personal taste Umichi, but this eliminates the "Clown suit syndrome" most MMO's are plagued by.

Bump because now that I've looked at things, EVERYONE LOOKS THE SAME!!!!

[Deifact]

If we get this, can make some armour invisible too? I want to be a sexy topless Subligar wearing red mage without being gimp

the art team takes time to make these pieces of gear.. whats the point of them having an art team if you just overwrite it with your favorite gear look.

That's extra retarded. How many people are wearing pretty much the exact same thing? When new awesome gear comes out, the gear you used to use, no matter how cool it looks, goes bye-bye. "What's the point of having an art team" if all their previous efforts mean nothing to us now?

The art team took the time to make TONS of gear that NEVER gets worn anymore. There's so much gear from old content that STILL looks awesome, but you'll never see it, because everyone's using up-to-date gear to enhance performance.

Add vanity slots and there'll be a revival of interest in some old content, since people will hunt down old crappy gear that looks great just to wear it.

Really, there's literally NO downside to this idea.

Nostalgia-addicts would love this, too. Not just for AF. You could go do Adoulin content dressed in your Optical Hat and Scorpion Harness for lulz. XD Remember that? Remember those highly fashionable days, when the art team's efforts were rewarded with everyone looking like S&M wizards?

Good times. Good, ludicrously silly-looking times.

If this had been in place back in the day, I might of went out and actually got the oh so ugly Optical hat. Yes, the hat was good, but due to its looks I was going to avoid using it unless absolutely necessary.

I'll support thi thread, though there was another one about something similar a while back.

[OmnysValefor]

I support this, except that I wish they'd focus on other things that are more important.

I've long wished for a set of high end armor that looked like the I.M. set the OP mentions (It's the Jeuno Ducal Guard armor).

[Kriegsgott]

No not the items that grant you costume effect. Have any of you ever wanted to wear a certain armor piece but now it's considered outdated OR there's already something with better stats? I know other MMO's do it now, but truth be told it'd be -awesome- if players could actually take pride in dressing their online avatar up in things that they want. All you have to do is have the armor piece equipped at some point, then it gets added to your costume catalogue. This means that if you equip the entire iron musketeer set, yet you're now condemned to a look you don't want. Well, with the commands that I can provide below, you'll be able to reobtain that look while keeping the stats of the new armor.

/costume "Iron Musketeer's Armet"
/costume "Iron Musketeer's Cuirass"
/costume "Iron Musketeer's Gauntlets"
/costume "Iron Musketeer's Cuisses"
/costume "Iron Musketeer's Sabatons"

Each command will change your character to look as if they were wearing that piece.

Please consider this SE, you've been slacking lately and this would actually be a fun little thing people could play with while you do your thing.

for a awesome idea you get a awesome like from me !

[FaeQueenCory]

LoL the only negative I see to this... and I really should say "negative"... is that what use will we have .dat swapping for anymore... 0u0

In all seriousness... I like this idea... if only to cut down on the horrible clashing that some pieces make with others...
*shutupIloveProjectRunway*

[Anjou]

I only dat swap because I grew tired of looking like everyone else. Give us vanity slots SE, otherwise it's gonna get very bland.
