You guys realize there was a slightly less dead thread about this, right?
Title a little different, but basically the same discussion.

Same goes for the camo on this Terran Republic HA:

I dunno, it just doesn't seem to work for me. Seems unappealing. Feels a bit tacked on just for the sake of having some sort of camo and not really fitting.

Am I alone in wondering if perhaps customization is going a bit too far?
I actually quite like both the pics you posted lol.

I saw you were getting irritated with WarBorn in that other thread, (so was I). He likes to cherry pick and ignore the things he has no answer for. Maybe we should have flagged him for calling everyone names who doesn't agree with him... I got tired of trying to be nice and giving him therapy.

Imagine trying to find those guys by yourself from a mile away. It's one of the "actually useful as camo" camo options.

Re: Customization Woes


I am shocked that it took 12 pages for someone to object to the possibility of disabling reskins/camo because people could and would disable it to make it easier to spot their enemies - and that point was then ignored until page 16.

Personally, I'm strongly opposed to anyone being able to disable camouflage, whether it's unlocked with or without station cash, and especially opposed to camo being disableable by paying station cash, which would be even worse.

Not that I'm anyone important here, of course. It's just a little mind-boggling.

Could be a lot of peeps are assuming that the camo is of no practical use?

The only one I saw that looked vaguely useful was the blue/teal on a Vanu in a night fight. Maybe zebra on ice continent.

Just put all the crazy and obviously out-of-character ones in a special category and make that particular category optional to view.

Problem solved.

Jeez, 18 pages and I just solve it instantly, I should get Higbys job.

Re: Customization Woes


Yeah but it wouldnt be any fun to have red bushy hair and giant floppy shoes if everybody couldnt see it. And if everyone couldnt see it then nobody would buy it. And since no one would buy it then the option to turn it off will never show up in game.

11 pages. Wow. Not reading it. Yes, I agree that they look dumb and out of place. A lot of people do. It's strange for the developers to make the game into a really silly shooter like Team Fortress 2. I wasn't expecting that.

Normal camouflage and the various types (ex. digital) are great.

Zebra and Giraffe camouflage are mildly annoying and borderline silly.

Bull horns, top hats, smiley faces, hearts, and bunny tails are intolerable.

I want customization to either fit RELATIVELY WELL Within the boundaries of the game, or have an option to turn off, I'm not hard to please, I'd even accept the zebra camo.

See person above for definitions.

Re: Customization Woes


i'm not saying i like those things , all i'm saying is i know why they did it and that it makes sense for them to do it.
and if this is what it takes to keep this game going longer then ps1 then i geuss ill just have to get used to it.

in the e3 stream i actually tought the zebra camo was more annoying then the horns,catears and whatnot op the players.
mostly because those things are not really visible during gameplay, they only really show when you are looking at the deathcam where you see your killer.
the zebra skin however is visible from a mile away.
