lumifiber on the MBT - Page 2

I think the problem with the Prowler Lumifiber is the lines are too wide. If you notice on the Vanguard, they're narrow and clean. If they did the same for the Prowler, it would probably look a lot better, along with removing some of it.

And... It's eye candy, simple as that. some will get it. Probably most won't. No need for the hate rage. It's a business. Nobody is forcing you to buy it.

The problem with lumifibre and other all-too fancy looking cosmetics is that it's taking away from the uniformity an army should have and instead turns it into a glowing disco army where people don't look like soldiers anymore.

I don't like it, it takes away from the military "vibe". I do realize that this a problem with the games concept of F2P / Cash shop, but i think we reached the end of the thin line between "army" and "clown army".

Who the hell wants to be more visitable and make themselves an easier target?! I mean thats way you have disco balls on the Abraham tank too right? Oh wait no military in the world use that! I wonder way

i use it for my aircraft in friendly territory like when im landing on pads to re arm ect, makes it easier for people to see me and not land on my head like we do for military aircraft today. as soon as i take off and get clear again they go off.

the tank ones wont be used and if they put it on the troops them selfs i dont think many would buy them.

they should to selling cool looking stuff like armor, helmets ect. could add webbing and such, things soldiers would need and use.

there is already a giant clownhat for tr on the cash shop!

and i hate to see cheesy oversized cartoonhats on my killcam.

This is exactly what SOE is hoping for. People will buy silly things and it will re-inforce the want for silly things to mock other silly things.

Personally... since this isn't a modern day milsim and is a scifi fps... Why not? Why not have super bright lights on everything if you want it? Tron is Scifi. Bright glowy things are very scifi. If the game was meant to be realistic than camo would serve a purpose. Instead you have people wearing white Esamir camo no matter what location they are on... like Star Wars with their Storm Troopers. People probably wouldn't use turrets with energy shields that glow brightly as a beacon when clearly the buildings around them that are made of metal are just as bullet proof... since nanites make everything in the game... it could make a metal shielded turret right? ... the list would go on and on. It's not meant to be a realistic game. It's scifi.

I'm surprised that the artemice hat is considered clowny when we have helmets with freaking hockey masks on them like they are out of Jason. If you are going to draw the line at the artemice hat... why?

i also hate the jason masks, and the mohawk spikes, but the busdriver hat is even more stupid looking with its overexaggerated northkorean style.

and i only want something extremely silly for nc because the damage is already done and there is no way back to a consistent artstyle that resembles a kind of army uniforms.

I really wish I had more cosmetic slots on my mag so I can put both the lumifiber and the battle armor on

i tend to agree, they do look far too wide. and too many. lets hope they look at it again. its a shame the rest look nice and that one lets them down.

next they'll add lumifiber for Infiltrators as they run around sniping people.

"HEY EVERYONE, I'M ON THIS HILL 500M FROM YOUR SOUTH, AND I AM A GREAT BIG GLOWY THINGY! SHOOT ME!"

I'll put lumifiber on my vehicles once I get my Light Cycle in-game.
