Appearance options appear to be the driving force behind the cash shop, or at least a good portion of it. As such we should probably have some kind of discussion about what options we want to see available at all, what should be earned through game play and which could be bought from the shop.
Obviously different armour classes will appear different, and we have seen that the medic, at least in the
concept art has a set look to help identify them to both friend and foe alike. We can probably safely assume that this will carry across to engineers and hackers, as well as perhaps commanders and squad/platoon leaders.
We have also seen battle rank earn different uniforms to display the veteran status of players and it can probably be safely assumed that you will get more appearance customisation options as you progress.
I would like to see outfit rank displayed on characters as well; perhaps as a
military style rank displayed on a shoulder pad.
Now these are what I consider the basics, but to what extent do you think that further options should allow; take capes as a random potential upgrade; should they be reserved for top commanders or should every person be able to simply buy them?
What don't you want to see?
