after today's patch , we were expecting all release weapons in but does that mean that all skins are in too? ;

because for the moment being some glowing skulls and a couple of armors are not gone pay for the game . this game needs to make a subsequent profit in other to keep going with the game production (more continents , weapons , vehicles , and log term additions) and to bring more players in .

Are you worried that there isn't going to be content patches? It's an MMO dude. Maybe I'm not following what you're sayin'.

i'm worrying that they don't get enough cosmetics sells to be able to make those content patches .

I get what you're saying. Anything cosmetic so far is really disappointing. I don't want a skull helmet...and all there is are 6 variations of it. I'm sure guns/vehicle sides will sell though.

Lol, I wonder if they'll go full tf2 on us?

I personally don't mind the goofy looks, but I know a lot of people will feel distracted by anything really crazy.

Although if they offer a no helmet choice, replaced instead by a soft ranger-type hat or black spec-ops type beanie, I'll get that.

I just can't wait to kill people who actually use Zebra camo.

Lol.

Imagine if they put in mlp, pajama-like camo that would make your eyes bleed. I bet people would actually buy and use that stuff.

One thing is for certain - people will buy this stuff. Microtransaction games typically rake in teh cashola.. will be interesting to see.

Me too. Anyone looking silly will be my priority target.

Grief should be disabled for anyone who is using Zebra camo on themselves, or any vehicle. :p

the game isnt out yet. let them fix stuff before you want more cosmetics. more will be added in time. the camo will do me for a while. the helms look cool but im sure they will add more stuff after everything else is running smooth and no big problems are around

of course bug fixing is THE priority ; but no money no game that's all i'm saying . i did buy alpha squad and more station cash so i am willing to help SOE to make this game a wonderful experience

Im guessing they are having concerns about the camo for infantry.

Its already extremely hard to tell people apart - especially for us color blind players.

i assume that if you are using camo you are quite devoted to the game meaning you run with a recurrent squad ; with voice over ip or similar which means that you will know their position before shooting . i do want to see useful camo but i wonder if that would make a p2w if camos are really useful and not a gimmick

Another thing, are the alpha squad weapons in yet? I looked for the nc medic assault rifle the other day and could not find it.

First thin g I'm gonna do is buy a new helmet for all classes except Infiltrator. Those cheesy 70's sci-fi helmets annoy the shit out of me.

It doesn't help that half the people from my team i encounter don't have the UI triangle over their heads... i think if that worked as it should there wouldn't be any IFF problems even with camos.

I don't have much trouble distinguishing between the different factions infantry. I think the models have very distinct profiles.

Phantomdestiny

i don't have distinctions problems either . the mini map is quite a useful thing but the profiles are also quite contrasting between factions
