News: VS Heavy Assault

[RNFB]

I'm sorry but this is awful. Design is too simplistic, the toes are hideous and disproportionate (Are the VS HA going to get an uber kick attack or something?), too much gray, helmet doesn't match, the teal coloring is all wrong....

[IronMole]

Amazing how many people actually care what their character looks like.

To me, NC and VS will just look dead.

But honestly, what's it matter? Is it only me who goes for gameplay, not the looks?

For the time being we can not discuss much about gameplay cos we don't know much about it, so we discuss what we have, which is mostly the looks.

Also, if I'm gonna spend a huge chunk of my free time in some faction, I'd rather pick one that somewhy pleases my eye as well. I know I can't see my own char most of the time, but the people around me count too

Stuff that. If I can buy bright pink items that will blind the enemy as well as friendly. Then I'm buying it!

I care for both to be honest. Would you want to be a pile of elephant crap running around with a cycler? I'll pass.

Looks and Gameplay are both extremely important.

Slightly skew-whiff example of what I was talking about earlier regarding the ridge vs conehead.

Anyone else prefer that?

[SniperSteve]

LOL. VS are Cone-heads now :P

[Blackwolf]

Way too much gray.

[EVILPIG]

To be honest, I didn't like how it looks, but seeing the model from other angles, it actually doesn't look bad. It's not a pin-point, it's a ridge that you are looking straight at.

Thats what i was thinking... that i would like to see it in game before totally slagging it off.

I'm not really digging the cuz-tim-ay-zay-shun response either. Fair enough if they release the non-fin version in the cash shop but then only 10% of players will ever buy one anyway. I spose, for PS2 to be successful we had better hope it will actually convert a few more F2Pers to fork out $2 for a new hat.

It still means however, that you have to run around looking at a bunch of fishheads on your team if you are playing VS though. Which i spose looking on the bright side, will be a good indicated of who it's worth healing and who is fresh off the shuttle.

I'll make a macro that says, "Rez the cool looking corpses first!!"

That's how I thought it was going to look when we first saw the WIP photos months ago. Definitely an improvement.

[Mechzz]

Hmmm. Don't like. Don't like at all. The ridge/fin has no aesthetic appeal. Most disappointing of the three HA and definitely worst VS look so far. (not looking forward to Maxes based on earlier views - they could easily be worse).

Oh, and Higby has talked in the past about the importance of class recognition, so I wouldn't be too hopeful of being able to buy a different-looking helmet in the shop guys

[Vanir]

I'm sure SOE will have other helmet designs and colour schemes made available by purchase with station cash.
