Physical "Enhancements" - Cash Shop ideas

soup de jour · 2012-03-09, 09:47 PM

I, like many other men, fully believe that confidence is the key to success in battle. What better way to put a little swag in yo' step than with a bulge?

That is why I propose that cod pieces and jock straps get implemented into the cash shop as cosmetic character modifications. In addition to providing the illusion of increased girth, you would gain a tactical advantage by getting in the head of your opponents, who would become intimidated, and possibly even jealous of your increased groin size.

As to not be sexist, I believe that SOE should also implement breast enhancements in the cash shop for females who would like to showcase their "assets".

I think I speak for all of us when I say that many players would love to expose their creativity in as many ways possible in Planetside 2, and the ability to modify your soldier's "hot spots" should not be left in the dark.

lol dude.

No.

While I disagree with this, an armour customisation setup similar to Halo's would be excellent, being able to swap out all the armour bits and bobs on classes to fully customise a personal look.

For a second I thought he was serious, as soon as I saw the world bulge I realized he wasent and nearly fell out of my chair laughing at the rest.

+1 This shit is fuuuunnnnnaaayyy. I have not laughed this hard in a while.

And Skitrel, you didn't even comment on it.. COME ON MAN!

Well halfway through reading it I thought "Time for a boobie joke" but then OP decided to ALSO make that joke himself. I was disappointed that he didn't leave that one for the next person.

Besides, there's a constructive discussion about what visual things we can change about our characters to be had here. Halo-like modular customisation of all the various armour bits gets my vote, the more I can customise my look the better.

God, I'm scared... Spent hundreds of £££s on LoL... I dread to think what Planetside is going to do to me.

I wouldnt mind armor cosmetic changes, and I really like having the ability to put camo on my guns, vehicles. Cant wait to get a snow camo reaver out in the snow continent.

Hah. God I'm not looking forwards to playing TR on the snow continent... I based my entire decision of playing TR on the fact they're going to be fucking HARD to see in shadows at night... Especially compared to the toy soldier blue/yellow NC I may have to avoid the snow continent altogether though.

This is the funniest suggestion I've ever seen.

+would pay money for it.

I dont think any factions soldiers will be difficult to spot on Esamir unless you buy the snow cammo.

I want this codpiece:

I'll give all of my monies to make it happen.

Mechzz · 2012-03-10, 12:41 AM

As long as the codpiece doesn't grant a 50% armour bonus, SOE might just go for this, cos sex sells.

It wouldn't clash with the "no pay to win in the cash shop" ethos either.

Hell, yes, let's do it!

Shade Millith · 2012-03-10, 01:41 AM

So long as I can get BOTH the codpiece and the breast enlargement on the same character.

As they flee from my girth and bust, I shall mow them down. Lay them low to ease their pain from having witnessed my bouncing package and great tracts of land!

They will scream to me "PLEASE, END OUR SUFFERING!" And I will say "Eat lasers."

When I read this thread topic all I could think about was the pile of crap sitting in my junk mail.

"you go long time!!"

Actually if my marketing professor and text book are correct sex doesn't sell.
