Character customization/rpg elements?

[lGhostl]

Will you be able to customize what your character's armors look like? Or do you have to play by their default look?
Are there any RPG elements to the game other than the story?

Also, are you able to have more than one character? For example, a character on the Vanu Sovereignty, and a character on the New Conglomerate?

[NCLynx]

It's been said you can customize the color of your armor within reason, I'm assuming you'll be able to purchase additional cosmetics for your armor in the future.

IIRC, you can only have 1 faction on a server atm. So you could have all 3 but they'd have to be on 3 different servers. (Although I'd assume during beta, so that people can test things we'll be allowed all three factions but that's just beta)

[RadarX]

There will be a number of customization options available for your character allowing you to play in a way you enjoy. The certification system should also provide you progression you are familiar with in RPGs.

I am hoping there will be an area like Goldshire in World of Warcraft, like in a sort of non-combat area in the middle of each of the continents, maybe some sort of old medieval tavern where you can roleplay and really get into character, it is an MMO after all. I think weapons should be banned in that area so you can't grief or ruin immersion and hopefully there will be enough emotes to the game and the ability to sit on chairs (bar stools) and maybe play some bar-games. I believe bar minigames will extend the longlevity of the game substantially.

Maybe even support player marriages? It's a great addition to the community and as a roleplayer I really would like to express my affections for my future in-game love interest.

Lets create a Romeo and Juliet style story arc! with quests!

i'm all for the fleshing out of the social aspect in some way, but a medieval tavern? seriously?
what about a neutral spaceship :)

Warpgate Bar. Would explain how the mortal enemies can be in the same establishment without vaporizing each other

Maybe we could even have some form of conversation options with other players. I'd love to see the angst of war expressed through conversation and maybe even a war-related poetry reading.

Oh war, whyforth art thou war?
Why canst thou not be a floor?
upon which we dance ourselves sore?
Love is such a strong ambition,
come to be through our mission
can we not just put down our guns
and love and hug underneath the suns?

MAKE IT HAPPEN DEVELOPERS! THIS IS WHAT THE COMMUNITY WANTS!

And we could settle our decades old bloody war with a DDR minigame contest!

YES! and lock the guns of the douchbags who use this, but not the guns of the real soldiers!
so we can facerape them with our jackhammers again and again.

you must be vs, they seem to like riding pink ponys, reciting poetrys and throwing flowers.
this is a massive multiplayer online first person shooter.
not a hello kitty roleplaying game.

a neutral place for meetings would be ok (just take the cantina, swg doesn´t seem to need it anymore). but any work that goes into this is work that should be used for vehicle boarding animaions instead.

Dude, please, never again try to speak for "the community" again :D

Some people here need to recalibrate their irony sensors

Although you are right about the ponies

[Shogun]

Some people here need to recalibrate their irony sensors

with the army of trolls that seems to be invading psu for some days now, it´s really hard to tell apart irony from total stupidity.

maybe the forum rank private should be changed to troll.

If a Goldshire medieval tavern in the middle of the continent with anti-war poetry-readings and player marriages didn't tip you off at all. See avatar.

[Shogun]

lol
avatar pics are too small. looked like a dildo to me ;)

ok, more or less it IS a dildo, but recognising the pic early could have been a hint ;-)

Dude, trolling aside, you seriously don't call Cpt. Picard a dildo. Seriously.

[Bazilx]

Oops, random double post.

[megamold]

you must have a really filthy mind to see a dildo in that avatar :D

[Mechzz]

I didn't look twice at it until the dildo comment - then I saw it as a pregnant woman rotated 90 degrees to the right :rofl::huh::huh::rofl:

I only "got it" when I read the Picard comment - that avatar really is too small!

[Jamini]

... I think you guys need to adjust your resolution and font size in your web broweser. That, or stop using your phone to browze the forums.

Seriously, you didn't recognize his avatar?

[Mechzz]

Well, I don't pay much attention to avatars generally (my own particularly beautiful one being evidence of that :p:p:p)

It's just than sometimes when you see an image out of context on a badly angled laptop screen it's not always the correct interpretation that pops out first from my age-befuddled brain :p:p

(And yes, please take that as an apology in advance for when I TK a few of my VS bretheren at long distance on the first day of beta due to my dodgy eyesight!)

[megamold]

i can identify that picard pic standing on the other side of the room
maybe you guys need some glasses :D

or maybe i just lurk the interwebs to much :)

lol Megamold, if your room is the size of the one I had as a student then I could still make it out too, without my glasses :doh:

[Graywolves]

I want Red, Black, and Grey wolf armor. Wolf helmet, wolf shoulders. Wolf weapons. three wolf moon chest.

[megamold]

nah its a little bigger then that :D

oh and i would pay loads for a 3 wolf moon chest ! ( and a pair of uggs )

[Shogun]

yep, i need glasses and my laptop is resting too far away on the table while i lie on the couch ;)
i wanted to use a photo of me in my stormtrooper armor riding a bumper car as avatar, but i couldn´t recognise anything after converting to avatar size.

[beekergunship]

I'm thinking of using the character customization for our outfit so that we can easily identify outfit members in front of us. I don't know what options are available, but I want to have something very obvious on our rear shoulder or back. This will make it easier to stay in a group while pushing on an objective.
