[Suggestion] Alternate Appearances

[Kragg]

At the moment alternate appearance is not working properly. We can set the items which only we ourselves can see. Back in Warhammer Online only your own faction could see your clothing. So far so good. I would like to suggest we get the option to show our items to both factions. With cosmetic items being worked upon it would be rather odd not to show off that new amazing look you created to the enemy before you shoot em.

If i would see a battle between my own guild and say a group of Night-goblins it would be great to actually see both sides looking the part then just a ragtag band of different non matching gear. If we take the effort to implant costmetic gear lets at least make sure everyone can see us wearing it.

Just my two cents, and probely those of pretty much any roleplayer or fashionably clad player out there.

I agree, it would be nice if everyone could see alt appearance. The problem is some people want to know what gear other people are wearing for picking targets, so maybe an option to toggle alt appearance on enemies.

[Glorian]

Maybe I'm wrong. But isnt the mechanic of the apearance vendors, that a t1 item can only be used to alter the apearance of a worn t1 item?

Actually that wouldnt help us. Half of our guild is running around in t2, t3 gear. So we will not be able to put t1 apearance items on our lvl 26 gear. Will that be the case?

[Coryphaus]

I don't think it makes a difference if the other faction can see your gear or not b/c lets be real with all the gaudy paint colors back on live I could never tell what sets they were wearing
Neither nore did I really care

Furthermore factor in that some classes like kotbs have copy and paste armor sets so I couldn't tell if they had invaders or conq etc



Also no it not like that glorian I'm using t1 items as aa for my t2 sentry armor and stuff

Aye, i have some Vengeance items to alternate for my Sentry items. I prefer the basic NPC Bitterstone Thunderer kit for my characters. Simple and a bit plain but I love the look.

I totally agree with Drengk's suggestion. Especially cloaks: being able to see other players cloaks would be awesome (and there are a lot of cloak designs!).

I would like for Krumlok to stand unique among the Orc crowd. Right now, every geared Blorc is sporting a set of Sentry / Doom-caller parts. Every blorc looks the same, excepting its face. (And I guess the same goes for every SM and Engi? can't speak for Order)

I suppose it's a matter of time.

Yes, at the moment you can use t1 armor to alt Any apearance.
BUT as for apearance vendors I think I read that they will be tied to a Tier.

Why? I ratehr see we can decide for ourselves what items we want to wear?

Same. What would happen if a regiment of Orc Boyz was forced to wear uber-looking plate armor because of tier? Or what would happen if a regiment of Imperial Greatswords couldn't wear the beret because of tier restriction? Not gud, imho

Exactly. I understand it's not high on list of things to do but I just thought I bring it out there. No more gimping of roleplayers
