Thoughts on Customization | Forums

[Gorshum]

I covered this a bit in yesterday's post but I really like having variety in apperance.

+When I get a helmet/other armor piece that looks super cool I am always excited to put it on.
+I like being able to change skin color and male/female for each of the characters.
+I enjoy changing my style of gameplay through the equipment.

+/-Putting symbols and stuff on the amror is fun but they can be very hard to see.

-I wish there were hair/face/beard options.
-Would be nice to have an option to hide helmets just so you can see your face.
-Seems like it costs a lot to afford the armor crates whereas you get very little for playing the game itself. Please no microtransactions for gear that gives statistical advantages. (Or at all if possible).
-Sometimes the better stat gear doesn't look as cool as the worse gear.

I like it so far but I require a Red and Black Shader (black with red accents) and I mean Blood Red maybe a shade brighter but not that orange red thing obviously the full game will take care of the lack of armor variation and I'm hoping we will get legendary events and things for some pretty kick a gear

At one hand customisation is already great. Skin tones and gender change for all is awesome! Keep this for all heroes to come too please.
Though a Valkyrie male might seem strange a dark skinned samurai or viking is just as strange,but cool to have nonetheless!

The colors schemes I wish you could pick colors yourself. I understand attackers defenders have to be easy to spot but I still would like to choose my own palette for duels and from a pool of colors for the rest

The options in armor are good but not very different. Obviously this can be because it is Alpha but I wish the difference would be bigger. Like a Bears head on a Viking shoulder, or complete different helmet. Or for beserker a full helmet or different hair or something. Or even go without helmet or something.
At this point there is little difference on battlefields. Id love to express myself a bit more than now

Havent levelled enough for outfits so can say anything about that. Or I missed how to get them

Overall very good just could be more differences

I think most importantly is the need to set my braided beard apart from the rest.

I like the customization a lot, I just hope there is a lot more armors and weapons in the full game. Right now you have what, 2-3 different armor sets for each character? That is quite minimal. Of course it is just an Alpha, so this is to be expected. But still.

So far I love the customization in the game, it is deep and brilliant with some concepts rarely seen in other games.

So far, i think the additional customization options are great! That being said, here are a few things that i have concern about in the future:

-First, I think executions should have a few more varieties than just beheading, spinal cord break, or a deep stab. I'm not saying that those options are bad at all, but i would like to see some more options. Maybe Conqueror could beat someone to death with his shield? Simple example.

- Second, although the color options are a nice addition, i think to really make each person feel like they have full control over their own customization they need to be able to select the colors from the color palette themselves. Maybe this can be something unlocked once you hit a certain rank to demonstrate your proficiency with the character.

- Third, I'd like to see a possible coloration of weapons themselves. Instead of the basic silver steel color, it would be nice to be able to run around with a Mithril or Adamant colored blade. Maybe even neon glowing blades?

- Lastly, i'd like to see some voice options for the characters themselves. Instead of just a grunt or a " Hua HAHA!" when they're show boating, how about a "Weakling" voice command option. Obviously this isn't something that should be able to be spammed, but usable maybe once every 10-20 seconds?

These of course are just my opinions, but are things that i believe would really add to the appeal of the game. Again, so far so good i really hope you guys keep this train going!

I've only got one class to 10, so obviously haven't seen that much different gear, but at least early on there doesn't seem to be too many different looks to the gear.

Also I know I'm in the minority here but I really, REALLY, want the gear to just be cosmetic. I want to beat you because I'm better than you, not because I have a better sword (for the single player all bets are off - I'd love to collect better weapons/gear like a semi RPG/ Soulblade style. But for pvp/arena combat weapons/armour should be vanilla).

Pretty dissapointed by the customization No matter how much i change i look pretty much exactly like any other person using the same guy

-can only change chest arms and helm cant do anything about the legs or boots or the waist

-Weapon customization seemed on point except cant name my baby

-Cant change hair styles or character Body with the exception of skin color

just kinda underwhelming I heard there was going to be crazy customization, This was untrue.

I've been a trying a little bit, but as I only have lvl 3 heroes there isn't a lot to play with other than some cosmetics.

I really like that you can improve armour/weapon stats by destroying a spare piece of loot. Nice touch.
