I find it funny though, people deride skull masks as silly, yet they have been used for CENTURIES in warfare.

Where the hell did you people get your education?

Those attachments and styles have been used in warfare FOR CENTURIES. Not one single nation of any importance did not have them. EVEN with the advent of conscription.

"Cheapen the game" "Break immersion" "Are unrealistic"

WTF is wrong with you people. What bubble were you raised in? Its one thing to say "Well, its not for me" but this shit about "OMG no one ever used skulls on helms, this game is stupid" is fucking stupid.

Silly arguments for silly looking people...

Maybe your fucking helmet should have some horns on it. That would also be historical correct. You would look like a goat thats almost as cool as a Skull.

I would love to hear T-Ray's vision on this because I've heard him once saying that if you design something for a game, it has to be there for a reason.
And atm these largely empire-unspecific cosmetics don't feel they were carefully designed with the Planetside universe in mind but more of a quick afterthought way to facilitate personalization and monetization.

I can actually live with funky Mad Max Look-a likes and goofy Space Pyjama's if that is specifically the way the Planetside universe is supposed to be. But right now I have a hard time to fit this:

This is where I wish I had the 'shopping skill to stick NC zebra camo on that carrier picture, so I could say "how about now?".

Good lord... And there's no coming back from this since they won't ever remove it unless there's some kind of miracle. I just tested DUST 514 some days ago and found the art design generic and blanc, but at least it looked fine.

Rolfski, those carriers aren't actually made for this incarnation of PS2, but for a more "realistic" Modern Warfare graphic style variant.

PlanetSide is a bit more cartoony and "out there" than that. Compare it to the Magrider and Galaxy artstyles that actually made it in: still more serious, but not as much as you're suggesting here.

Afaik Smedley specifically tweeted that carrier as a possible PS2 feature but even if it will probably appear more "cartoony" in game, you get the idea.
Unless of course you believe that "Giraffes from Hell", "Laserdisco Pigheads", "Space Pyjama's" and "Motorcycle Gangs from the Badlands" belong on a Planetside carrier.

As a member of RPS (VS) , I say leave our giraffe camo alone!
It was picked as the voluntary outfit camo of choice because its:

a. Ugly as sin.
b. Utterly fails at being camouflage in any environment.
c. Makes us look daft.
d. Giraffes have become a fixation with RPS.

Skull masks etc are at the member's discretion, but since they are all uniformly ugly, they do rather fall in with "looking bad" motif.

I am starting to loose my faith....

Sledgecrushr · 2013-02-02, 09:11 AM

More camos i guess is ok. But what I want are more armor and helmet skins. The devs need to get their shit in gear and start giving us a better variety of cosmetic gear.

It could be a lot worse, the stuff avaialble now would be considered tame to most F2P customization options. There could be fur suits, neon camos or fantasy theme helmets.

Vote giant pink dildo as melee weapon customization.

VS only.

Sometimes i think they simply imported all the 3d models of eq into ps2. Maybe we'll see soon the golden capes or magic wands with fire spells on it .

Seriously, we are playing a scifi shooter here. These cosemetic items we have atm maybe proper for the fantasy genre but not for a game like ps2.
