Just like EVE players have all those clothes and expressions and backgrounds (if that's randomly generated just ignore me completely), DUST players ought to have something similar. Now, I know that there are WAY more pressing issues to this game right now than us standing around looking cool, but it might be something to think about in the future.
- Add new backgrounds, like planets, merc quarters, different scenarios, etc. - Add full-body pictures of our clones in dropsuit of choice (must be unlocked) with weapon/equipment of choice (must be unlocked) in dozens of different poses with weapons, such as:
- Gun resting on the shoulder
- Light weapon in right hand, sidearm in left hand
- Light weapon in right hand, equipment in left hand (more of a logi thing)
- Two different equipment in each hand
- Sidearm in right hand with hacker/RE/orbital strike wrist thingy activated on left hand
- Light weapon/sidearm in right hand, clip to weapon in left hand
- Nova knives crossed near face/on chest
The possibility can be endless. - Add full-body poses, such as:
- Crouched
- Aiming at camera
- Aiming to the left/right of the camera
- Close-up shot of the side of the mask with weapon brought up close to the mask to provide a shot of the weapon inside (more of a sniper thing to be looking into their scope)
- Weapons holstered on side/back, arms crossed
Again, the possibilities are endless.
Maybe even customized ways to stand with weapons in battle? Such as whenever someone using an assault rifle/rail rifle/combat rifle/scrambler rifle, they could hoist their weapon on their shoulder as they stand still. Something to add more diversity to clones on the field other than us all standing and running the same way. Maybe even make it where we hold our weapons differently while running/sprinting? That's probably taking it too far, as it might get glitchy, but hey, you never know.
Again, I know that this game has problem far more pressing than how we look. But I thought I'd throw it out there anyway.

There are definitely more pressing matters the devs need to attend to in this game but I do think that having these features will be great to have. Maybe we can even take a pic of our character without their helmet. But that's topic for a different thread. |

I never posted this idea but how about armor customization
CCP gives us a bunch of emblems
And we can pick from them or ones that our corp can also upload
Then we can put them on our armor as we want
This may also help color the caladari some more
-holds arms in O- throw it in the story basket bro

I'd like the idea, the problem is we'd either have to remove the colour coding of dropsuits (yellow = logi, blue = scout, red = commando, etc.) or the suits would have really weird colour combinations... logi's favourite colour is green, now he has a green and yellow suit. Just my opinion, those two colours don't look very pretty together. Also, guy's favourite colour is black, now all his suits look like the prototype variant and gets really confusing.
If the colour-coding method was removed, this would be possible, but I don't know what would replace it... maybe specific armour looks? I know you can just look at the HUD and see what they have, but a lot of people don't know how to look, and you can't always aim at them nonetheless.

In eve every ship model is unique. Then the tech two variant may have a couple of tweaks. So a couple more antennas or what appear to be spotlights on the arazu. sone tech 2 are just palette swaps like what your referring to with color coding.
If ccp shanghai ever fixes it we'd have 3/4 medium suits for each race. Different bonuses, slots, stats, models then a logi would be one of those suits tweaked slightly visually and buffed and with logi bonuses. Then another would be the assault. It's one of the many things ccp shanghai has done completely wrong.
Also this sort of character customization should have been in the game before beta even launched. It's the first thing new players see and creatib your own character automatically increases your chances of sticking around o take care of your creation. someone said it's not a high priority on ccp's part where it's quite the opposite it should be at the top of the list of things ccp needs to get done.

Their reasoning was probably that their target audience would rather get straight into the action than spend time customizing their character's appearance which would have no real effect on their gameplay. Would have been nice to have the option though.
"Customize your clone's appearance? You can do this later, but until you do your character will always be shown wearing his/her dropsuit."
It would also be nice if they gave each of the specialized suits a different model instead of just making them color swaps of the same suit. |

Well their reasoning was dead wrong. Their primary demographic is people who are already familiar with eveorkings and character customization is non negotiable at this point. if games could do it in the ps2 era like syphon filter 4 there's no excuse they can't do it now when they already have it in eve. I'm fine with an option to do it post creation but the option needs to be available from the get go this is an mmo fps afterall.
And I agree every suit needs it's own model. Palette swaps are a lazy copout. Until such a time that the game has been eveified and we have 4-5 hits for every tier and a specialization o every suit the logi and assault need to have their own model . Obviously down the road there will be 4 amir mediums that look different and each has a tech two variant but for the time being they should be able to do the bare minimum and give the logi a unique model from the assault lol.
We need armor customization or chaacter customization. Doesn't have to be both but we need to have at least one to be on par with ee. They're moving on to ship customization already and we don't even have 1 choice. Unacceptable.

Forgive the typos I'm posting from a phone with a broken screen and trying to move the cursor to edit causes lag the likes of which I've never seen before and at the moment I don't have the patience to go back and spend minutes on each word I messed up so I'll just leave it as is.
Sorry. Eveorkings should be eve workings. That seemed to be the worst one. Amir is amarr ee is eve. Yes I need a new phone.

i do like this idea and support it fully. but as stated before there are other pressing matters.

This may also help color the caladari some more no offence bud as much as i support your idea CCP still has yet to give that to the pilots for their ships. so chances are its not coming here either.
i too would love to have a full customization of my merc. design his face for when you take your helmet off. give him some common cloths for when he is back on station. that battle armor must be really uncomfortable to stay in 24/7 let alone sleep in... and even among this i would like to be able to access the stations pub. a social area in the station that is located behind one of the doors in your merc quarters. (this idea was something that was promised to the pilots a few years back but CCP never finished or followed up on.) hell it would be awesome to be able to charter passage to other "home" systems so you can kick it with your buddies. and even make use of corp headquarters finally.
but alas... we can dream cant we?

This will happen happen after they release admin controls for chat channels. Which means never.
