Okay so lots of talk about OP, matchmaking, dedicated servers, broken mechanics. Now for something lighter.
I'm not at lvl 108 yet but I have seen my share by now. The customisation system is awesome but quite lacking.
Yesterday I was in a match with a presige 4 Beserker a lvl 5 Beserker and myself a lvl 20 Beserker. But I could hardly tell the difference....
Here is what I think should be added changed;
Skin color change... quite cool but why doesn't the hair color also change??
When you change female Warden to black skin her ponytail remains blond? How many black people have blond hair?
Why do Knights have a skin color option in the first place? Why not give them option for open or closed visor or something?
Speaking of hair, we need an option to change hair color. With famous Vikings called Erik the Red it's weird there is no option to have Vikings with red hair.
Of course this goes for all classes. Why not give more options for beards and hair too?
Helmet change. Yes a class has to be recognizable. But a Beserker with a full helmet is still very much a beserker. Give that option and suddenly lot's of Beserker won't look like twins anymore. Why not let a Warlord go without a helmet as an option. It might not be completely realistic but neither is flashing green when getting a boost....
More options in the way armor looks.... So at this point all gear pretty much looks the same. Sure some folks walk around in golden armor, but other than that there isn't that big a difference in armor. Why not give more outspoken options. Per example give singe sided shoulder armor. Or something like a cape for the knights.
And before people say it looks dumb, or wouldn't work, it works for her....
Also when looking at the single player campaign there I see armors which are quite different (and much cooler) than anything I've seen in MP so far. MAybe I just haven't seen it yet but I think at this point it's not available. But these animal heads for Vikings etc. would do wonders in the game to set more people apart.
Having 3 Warlords in a match is no problem, but all 3 looking like triplets wearing just about the same stuff is silly. Especially considering how deep the system in itself is.
Some examples from SP....
I think these Single player variations show a much deeper level of customisation that is lacking in the game.
Or am I the only one who thinks this is lacking?
