Well, i do like a few things about LE. I mean, it does feel like an old lady with some new lipstick here and there, but its for sure enjoyable. Not really sure if its worth the hype, but its also not wasted money when the servers work
That being said, visual character customization is pretty non existant here except for the mtx shop. were there plans for a transmog system? while i dont mind spending money on mtx, i also like to not feel forced to do that cause you look like a clown ^^
other than that… i cant really say “good job devs”, cause it really took a while, but im glad stuff seems to work now. ill gladly change my review in a few days if stuff stays this way =)
I remember them saying they want a transmog system but havent had added it yet or worked on it. This also was a while ago before mtx was introduced. So im assuming since mtx is added they have gotten some type of functionality for it. Lets hope they do add it in. Think it would be a great idea and a way to find items for the look.
I’m sure it’s more difficult than it sounds, but it seems like creating a transmog system should be easy. In computer terms, the gear you find has unique identifiers and the cosmetic items inherit the stats when you wear them.
I bet it just never got done because they had so many priorities to deal with around game play. And now that it’s live going back to add something like that is much more difficult than it would have been at the start.
i for sure have no clue how difficult these things are, and its not a big deal as i knew the game doesnt have that feature upon purchase. i was just curious if itll might be included at one point or another ^^
The main appeal for me in this game is the customization and build synergies. I certainly wouldnt be upset if they added a cosmetic transmog, but frankly I dont think thats why most people play ARPGs. Its a nice quality of life touch, but its not integral to gameplay so I can see why it went on a backburner. They have more pressing issues to attend to even when the servers are functional (as they have been for ages before 1.0, im not complaining, shit happens).
Once they get more of the major features and bug fixing attended to, I’m sure they’ll revisit QOL stuff like this. They’ve been a pretty solid dev over the years about listening to feedback
Yeah im sure it also was not originally in the plans when starting development. And the feature isnt like a gameplay feature such as a skill or gameplay mechanic. But would be cool if it makes it in the game at one point or another.
I think it’s a good sign that they removed the individual character cinematics and replaced your character with a cloaked “they”. That will make it much easier for them to add customization options down the line.
Yeah I do like the way a lot of the gear and weapons look in the game. I have seen a couple issues with weapon models not showing the correct item, but for the most part they look cool to me.
