One of the ideas things that has been discussed with the CPM is the idea to have placeholder models for all the currently missing racial variants (gal, min, cal heavy, cal & amar light) to have placeholder models with all the intended slot loadouts, skills, skill bonuses and stats untill such a time where the art department is ready to implement them.
We think that currently, a lot of the suits seem to be trying to balance themselves for options that dont yet exist which is kinda flawed. Traditionally CCP doesn't really like the use of placeholders but in this instance we think its fairly important.
Any feedback and thoughts on this would be very valuable.
great post Jenza.
This is a great idea, I personally don't care what my heavy looks like or if he looks exactly like the proto basic or any version of the heavies in existence...make them all look like Skin Weaves for all I care...just show me what the intended module slots, Shield/Armour HP and racial bonuses so I can make a decision...
I would love it if I could do this at the time of getting my skill respec so I can go back to heavy. I want to play as a heavy but am not putting all my skill points into it when I only have 1 race to choose from...despite that I chose that race for the logistics class... |

Jenza, you think they might be able to make this in time for us to spec into it when we will receive the optional respec we are waiting for right now? End of this month or beginning of june let say? you probably can't tell, but I ask anyway.
would also like to know this

I am all for this idea, great to see the CPM contributing like this.
yes, only being able to choose 1 racial variant is disappointing.

what don't you people understand about teh art department being the hold up, if we get a placeholder, it has to be in the form of an art concept already in the game...aka it will look like one of hte heavy suits that is already playable.
Everyone asking to change skin colors and do do this/that is missing the point that a place holder would LOOK the same and they would FUNCTION differently base on Race and meta level... |
