Change your wyvern color!

[KorPoni]

No point in getting particular on this. You can say "I'd like to see it" and move on. SE employees get paid to worry about details. I'd love to see different colors on wyverns, or bigger ones, or even wyvern equipment, just as long as I'm not seeing the job turn into another PUP, where the wyvern fights differently because of these cosmetic changes. That'd start wrecking the borders of "job uniqueness", and make things less fun for me, and probably alot of other people who like the 20 jobs to remain 20 different jobs.

Asking a wyvern to act differently just because it's a different color is not the intention here. It's purely to define ourselves as individual characters with individual pets. Though I can see how it could turn into that. I personally don't want to get a red wyvern who will mostly use Flame Breath more often than lets say Hydro Breath if that's going to be the case. It's just hundreds of blue wyverns all named differently didn't cut it for me because there are different colored dragons all over Vana'diel.

It didn't fit that dragoons are only able to find just one type of dragon in the whole world.

And I guess I like to express more than just, "Gimmie!" I like being creative, it's what gives me an artistic viewpoint on things. It's not like I'm asking for recognition cuz I gave the dev team an idea to discuss about.

This would be fantastic! I really want to see two-tone colors, but I would take what I could get lol. Facial features and such would be very cool also. I don't think I'm all that interested in armor though. And I really dont want to see changes in the way the wyverns function. I like the way they work.

Great idea, I hope SE can work it in sometime in the future ^.^

Would love to see colors with no connections to anything EXCEPT...maybe if u choose
-yellow it has a few black blotches....
-red maybe get some decent horns,
-white a unicorn type horn,
-blue maybe some curly horns from its chin
-green gets larger back spikes
and so on....

ACTUALLY now that i think on it this still limits uniqueness so in turn I say.
choose color via linkshell style for total uniqueness
AND perhaps choose a maturing feature such as the bigger horns/back spikes/chin horns/larger claws/slightly larger wings/body/different tail effects,
This method would create an amazing amount of uniqueness.

I think we're just tired of our wyvern looking exactly the same as every other persons. whats wrong with colors really? is every frog or lizard the same color? dogs? in game dragons/wyverns. The answer is no.

and personally I dont know enough about my little pony to get the joke/rude comment, whichever it was.

besides u seemed onboard for the whole color change and even mentioned different wyvern's based on subjob or something granted there wasn't a space issue. little variations other than color have always been thought of so its nothing new and many people do like cosmetic options actually id be surprised to if anyone didn't welcome them. there are a lot of posters here supporting it

Lets get back to the point. I support color change. other stuff is just ideas. I like throwing them out there

slow down geez nobody can take a joke nowdays, read my previous comments on this thread, Im all for customization just dont see it like a priority or cost effective, but a nice option? yeah, would be cool, as it would be cool to aplly that color system to basically all armor in the game, but yeah, lot of work for pleasing just to please.

The little pony referece was just cuz I was watching this earlier on topless robot http://www.toplessrobot.com/2011/03/...i_remember.php

Theres a purple wyvern-thing, and the estetic combinations you were suggesting were basically unicorn horns, and stuff like that and color of rainblows so well I dont think the reference would be so far fetched even with the minimum knowledge of said ponies (as I myself only know them as a pop culture reference)

It's not that, letting someone know you are joking or being sarcastic is hard to see in plain text. /sarcasm, /rant, /joke, etc. etc. was a popular way of players expressing themselves in the forums.

New Wyvern colors would be sweet. Maybe a flame pattern for Ember made of blue and black? o.o so what we got to do to ask about this to the staff and all I'm curious and all for it. Think we could talk about some dragoon quests also for some new emotes maybe?

well my bad azjazo. that video was a lil crazy btw. but jagerforrester is right its really hard to tell if somethings a joke, and yeah i meant it like that i guess, lol just much more cool looking :P
