Curiosity / Cosmetic

Post#1 » Thu Jul 29, 2021 8:11 pm

Any plans out of curiosity purely of course, for NPC skins? like maybe an item you can pop/potion that gives you the appearance of NPC like a Greyseer/skaven or something? purely cosmetic of course. Always liked messing with stuff like that lmao XD, thanks in advance. I imagine there might be complication with animations maybe? eh doesn't hurt to wish though.

There are items that do give you alternate appearances, mainly they are event reward items and they vanish if you enter combat. There's the Skaven Cloak that turns you into a skaven, Corrupted Candy which turns you into a skeleton, and there is also the Kossar's Helm that transforms you into a white bear for 5 minutes. I Imagine that it would be possible for others to be made, but it would be very low priority for the dev team, and I doubt that they would ever let them be usable in PvP.

Edit: I remembered the name of the helm... :P

totally get priority hahaha but Awwww... wish they'd let it be used in PvP = ( that sucks haha, probably because of animation issues? Also man you are VERY fast damn thanks for the quick response im really surprised.

Animation would be part of it, but the main reason is that all of the classes are designed so that you know what class you are fighting against simply due to their appearance.

The dev team have gone out of their way to fix item appearances that weren't meant to used by other classes (for example there were a bunch of Chosen items that had Marauder appearances and they were replaced/fixed with proper Chosen appearances).

Being able to transform while in combat would mask what class you are, and would cause endless complaining on the forum.

Oh geez hahaha I find animations/class icons are plenty to give away what your facing BUT I totally could see that happening I think = _ = *wheeze* def not the reason I want these kinda toys but I can see some people throwing a hissy fit for sure.
