If people want to pay $200.00 to hack a game, then get banned, well that would be pretty funny.

off topic: ive seen someone spend $1700 buying "gold" in a game called puzzle pirates just to get banned the next day.


on topic: EXP boosts are OK, the only thing is they can only be available after X time. (maybe 6 months or however long it takes to max out 1 skill tree) so its not the XP boost people are getting ahead, its the XP boost people are catching up.

Other things: it all must be in theme, it all must be fairly priced.(IE: 20$ for sunglasses is not fairly priced) and I still think the PPM method is the best right now.

I wonder how far they can go with character customization while still keeping the overall theme of an empire?

I think they could go along way, obviously all the armout would have to have some form of the empires primiary and seconadry colours, and an optional black in NC and VS, and not much in the way of other colours.

But there is so many options for helms, shoulders, different chests, belts, knee and shinpads along with armpads, gloves, blackpacks, then offcourse you have facial stuff like glasses.

heres somes examples from global agenda , obviously in PS2 each empires armour would be unique though.

I don't doubt the possibilities and enjoy the prospect, however I think it was stated in one of those panel videos that players would be able to tell empires and classes apart just from the look, how much room could that possibly allow unless those cosmetic items are class-theme based?

How much can really be changed while still being able to tell what class is what? This is just a curious thought I had, please don't take it as literal

Obviously their art team is handled by a very creative and charasmatic fellow, interesting to see what solution they have for this.

well the same as what i said still applied, in that link is 2 classes, from global agenda, the enginner and the rogue..?...whatever it is. I cant find a good one for global agendas medic, but the variations of that are amazing.

Goggles, bikinis, pink fuzzy slippers, a samurai skin for my equipable knife, a disco ball skin for my frag grenades, I'll stop now

[Sirisian]

Other than goggles for the TR players, I'd like some glasses for my VS character. Just regular non-polarized glasses.

I thought of the best store item. You know how we'll be having more emotes. I want a victory emote. Character pulls out a cigar and strikes a match against his armor and goes "Gotta try harder than that." The best part is the cigar stays in your characters mouth for a few minutes.

I know some players might hate them, but there's got to be some taunting emotes.

Depending on what we can buy I strongly agree with this. If everything people can buy fits the feel of the game and just allows NC to have a different shapes helmet or gives TR some slightly different goggles then never mind, but otherwise...

As long as they keep the general color theme of the empires I am good with it.

Cool things that could in the store is custom animated emotes or armor that has a different design(Global Agenda is a good example here minus the colors).

Custom outfit logos and some customization to the color scheme as long as you are still able to see that the character is a NC/TR or VS soldier.

[Heaven]

I think a cape would go down pretty well, i would wear that!

[Redshift]

customising colours would work fine so long as each empire only had a certain colour palatte,
TR would get blacks and reds and greys
NC would get yellows blues and greys
VS would get purples and teals

Then it's more a question of where you put they colours, they did it in PS1 with the armour changing at each level anyway

Could easily divide the armour into sections and allow each one to be coloured however the player wants

[Vancha]

Looking at the MAX suits, each empire's colour palette seems to have grown somewhat. I was going to suggest bronze additions, but then I saw the orange on TR and VS, and the industrial browns/greys on NC.
