We should be able to pay to turn off other people's skins/decals

[zomg]

It would be nice if the OP would have posted, you know, a reason for this.

I don't personally see any reason to turn them off. What's the point besides gaining an advantage of being able to recognize the colors of people easier == gaining an advantage over other people?

Goggles of nostalgia, makes everything look like the original PS.
Now for sale at the PlanetSide Store for only 10000 StationCash.

Also inquire about our NoNoobs shades

While we are at it, remove empire colors and weapon upgrade visual cues. Too much detail makes things hard for me.

I want everyone to be one homogeneous mutant after another with no variety or anything to give everything flavor.

Infact, get rid of all empire specifics, make everyone TR and we all get to argue about whose AK-47 jams more.

Oh and we only need one continent. Plus the map is too large and varied. I want to turn all that off too.

Hell, let's just make PS2 on the Minecraft platform, but nobody can change anything. Because that wouldn't be fair for creativity deficient players.

It'd only be feasible if you had to pay constantly like a lot of the players blinging themselves out will be. I don't see why the customisation would be a deal breaker for anyone though.

This idea popped into my head the other day for about a second then it was discarded right after.... No way they should do this cause, like others have already said, it would deter people from buying the customizations....

Love it!
Really love it!
Love it!

Your sarcasm, sir, is truly inspiring

On to the topic at hand, people are paying good money and/or time to look the way they do and I don't understand why people would really want to pay to turn that off. I mean, sure, you might want to remain as fully immersed as possible that you don't want some Liberator with leopard spots and hearts on the windshield ruining your day in the killcam, but let's just consider it an occupational hazard. We are going to be playing with a crowd of people at varying stages of maturity (and I'm not talking about age, here), yes, but some people take pride in making themselves look exactly the way they want to and I believe they have just as much right to want to show it off as we have to just shake our heads and sigh.

Also, I didn't read the whole thread, so maybe I missed something, but that's okay, I don't care about anyone else's opinions but my own! JK! I love you all!

if you really want to get rid of camo/etc, just replace the texture and meshes files in the game folder and it`ll do fine

They have this in Global Agenda, doesn't stop people buying jetpack trail colours or rainbow armour dyes.



They can just have the killcam showing them in their full 'glory', there you go, you can keep your obnoxious colour pattern and rub it in the face of anyone you manage to kill.

This should defiantly not happen.

I find this thread deeply offensive. Those of us who pay top dollar for our Zebra tanks and pink combat helmets should be able to force our uberness on you poor, miserable bastards who can't afford Zebra tanks and pink helmets.

I think he means just make the skins not show up on YOUR screen. Of course you wont be able to just take them away from other people, that would be insane (hopefully this isn't what the OP wants). I personally wouldn't use this but I could see some ppl being tired of seeing zebras, giraffes, and whatever else is to come. It doesn't seem like it'd be that hard to make this a feature (although I wouldn't really know). More money for SOE that doesn't affect me sounds good.

Until you most likely get banned for editing the game files.

There is no way around it really. Were just going to have to live with the silly Bacon an Zebra camo crap. Just a downside of the Free 2 Play model. Though truthfully SOE could have just done a better job of making the payed cosmetics fit into the Planetside world better so people didn't want to turn it off.

Ummm no...See the whole point of a COSMETIC upgrade is so that other people can see them...If people can turn them off then there is no point in buying them effectively screwing the whole F2P without P2W business model...

A 1 time payment to nullifuy tons of transactions derp.
