personalization

[aggie915]

I dont know if anybody has mentioned this but i would love to see more personalization. Maybe with guilds you could customize your own flags, kinda like the band logo in rockband. This flag could be put on flags flying over keeps and also put on guild members shields and capes. Also maybe the guild leader could customize a certian type of armor (shape and color if possible) and sell at guild shops so during big battles you could see how your guild is doing on the battlefield. Could you imagine a long line of the same armor lining up on both sides and charging at one another awesome

this came from dbltnk's newsbits acquired at the liepzig game con:

There will be guild crests. They might not be customizable.

sounds like you can choose from an array of pre-made crests (and probably change color, border, etc), but you might not be able to design your own.

There will probably be 5 basic sets of armor (like leather, studded leather, chainmail, scalemail, platemail?). But you can craft every part out of different resources (for example: jade). The material changes the look but not dramatically. On top of this, there will also be several special armor parts.

so you won't be able to make "custom armor" but you could certainly have all your clanmates wear the same exact armor.

I'm under the impression that it would probably be some system similar to Eve-Online's corporation insignia. There's plenty of room for variation in there.

yea, there would probably be plenty of variation, they wouldn't want every clan to be running around with the same crest, but you won't be able to design it yourself. like, you can't draw your own picture and stick it on a crest or something. i guess i'm not sure what the OP was asking (i haven't played rock band), so i was just throwing that out there.

To be honest, it might be better if people can't draw their own crests. I think we've all seen the results of that freedom in Spore creature editor...

With limitation it coul be great. In Never Winter Nights you were able to modiffy your owns armors and weapon, and there were some awsome equips.

yea, i haven't been on the forums much, but im pretty sure back in April when i joined i made a post similar to this one and got rep for it as well (since it was the first post of its kind cause i joined shortly after forums came up), but yea like you guys said variation to make every1 "unique" in their own way would be sweet.

Such as: customisable weapons, armor, shields, maybe tatoos on the body, that are all done by the players themselves with "limited" designs (no obscene designs and stuff like that).

these sort of distinguishable features are important, since players won't have names floating above their heads.. you need to be able to discern who someone is by looking at them, so the more customizable, the better.

In my opinion, they should just expand the dye system in other games. So, in addition to whatever color dyes, you can also have special pattern dyes like stripes, symbols, and other weird designs. This could greatly expand item customization and easily make you look more unique. Plus, it seems easy to implement.

[HSDrac011]

Yea, but making your armor and weapon have different features when u craft it yourself would be awesome too and it would be unique because u could add stuff to it like spikes and things or maybe engravings to make it look different.

I'm hoping for the same thing someday.
Designable armour and weapons <3

Where put it?

[HSDrac011]

the players wont have names above there heads but instead when you put your crosshair or mouse or whatever over them THEN you can see there names......they just wont be CONSTANTLY there so you can see them every second of the game
