Outfit Tag System?

Dart · 2012-06-08, 08:30 PM

I've not heard it mentioned by the devs, but as a clan we've discussed it, so i thought I'd raise it here. Would you like to see some kind of Outfit Tag system implemented which would show up as a pre/suffix on character names and in the kill spam?

If it's something the community would like, now is probably the time to ask for it.

Absolutely.

Outfit tags will probably be done like other MMOs. You join an outdit and you get the option to put that name in paranthases before your own.

Theres a whole set of outfit features, among which are:
Outfit custom decals
Outfit vanity camo
Outfit tags in chat and killstreams
Enemy outfit names visible
Leaderboards

All of which sort of support the social and competitive aspect we all know they should have.

I dont know how to prioritize them...in a good outfit centered game they should all be required, and more.

I know my outfit wants a cape that we can wear with the outfit symbol on it.

Ridiculous? Yes ridiculously awesome.

Does anyone know if the devs have been drawn in this issue? As far as 'customisation' goes, this is a very simple way of representing you're clan. Any other Outfit related features we should be clamouring for?

Yes a prefix by the name for the outfit would be fine. I would even go a step farther and would love to have our custom outfit logo on our gear.

your forum handle should display your outfit/rank too.

that way you know who is talking shit LOL

I would actualy prefer not to have the prefix, even remove the name on hostile targets.
that would make identifying what you are figthing a bit more challenging and make intelligence gathering a viable gameplay aspect

Tags wouldn't be forced on anyone. As someone who played first without and then with tags (both with KOTOR and DT) I'll admit the tag does seem to attract more enemy attention. However that's why it would be up to the individual. Personally i like to rep my Outfit and I'm ok if that means i get shot at a little more.

Dont care for outfit tags in kill spam, keep it as per PS.
Np's with outift under player names as a toggle option.

Would like to see outfit members names maybe a slightly different hue to spot in a crowd.
Maybe the same with friends lists, especially for those not in an outfit....yet.

Problem is only friendlies van view outfit names. Sometimes when you're tearing up the killspam it can be nice for everyone to know which Outfit you belong to. Imo it was something missing from the original PS.

Would love to see outfit tags in the kill feed.

Capes are fabulous.

Took another look at kill spam and they already tag them with faction logo's so I dont think they would add anything else.
The other problem with outfit tags being added is some could be very similar.
If you are restricted to maybe 4 characters and people follow the usual trend you could end up with multiple version of what is essentially the same ie.
[PS]
]PS[
[PS[

When they are flashing up on the screen its not going to mean much to anyone.
In the end it is faction v faction v faction.
I always thought it was interesting when a fight was dominated by two factions and then the thirds colour would start showing up in the kill spam as they crashed the party.
