[Suggestion] Unlock gear visuals with steel (and/or salvage) or rethink new gear? | Forums

Hi,

First of all, massive kudos to the devs, whatever hell some players may raise, I think you're doing fantastic jobs at improving For Honor's experience, and I'm looking forward to Year 3.

That being said, I had a small complaint to make, and the hope that somehow you already identified/recognized this issue while developing.
The thing is, the more seasons we have, the more gear is released, weapons and armors. Don't get me wrong, I'm enjoying it, but I find myself in a weird position where, with my Rep 60 Warden, I still have locked visuals in armor and weapon parts. Since I'm rep 60, I don't level up anymore, and I can't enjoy the benefit of having extra loot when upping. Keep in mind that I have Champion Status activated at all time.

So we're entering S9, where new gear will drop, and I'm still lacking a lot of gear visuals for the two characters I main. Scavenger crates don't do the trick anymore, and the weapon "loot box" doesn't contain many items, making it extremely unlikely, the more we go on, to drop new gear.

I mean, it's logical, the more gear you add to the game, the less chance we'll have of looting a specific visual. What I was suggesting was either:

- Have the option to buy locked gear visuals for steel (I suggest steel first because you're after all leading a business, and salvage comes free so it's not really worth it for you). It could be more expensive than the crates, but that way players could unlock THAT ONE visual they're missing.

- Have a "new gear" or "season X" crate thing, where the items in it would cycle amongst the addition of the current season.

- Have some kind of "loot boost", as you did with XP boost, costing salvage and/or steel, that would increase for a certain amount of time/matches the chance to drop new gear or all gear.

- Have some kind of mechanic that allows max rep players to still earn additionnal gear each fictional XP threshold.

And that's pretty much all I can think of, but maybe you'll be able to find different solutions, if that's something you're willing to update in the future.
It's just hindering me sometimes because I can't complete a look for a character without THAT visual, so I'm playing that hero only, and not that other hero I'd have to unlock with steel and then buy some more cool cosmetics...
I don't know, I think there may be ways for you to profit from that as much as players.

Thank you if you read all of that, have a nice day!

I agree! I've been playing AGES and still can't unlock the older sets or those specific helmets I want for my Highlander and Warden.
