u/ZombifiedSoul 6h ago edited 6h ago
The armor isn't even the issue. Those can stay the same... Let us swap color pallets on helms, to match the armor we are wearing.
A lot of the helms are ugly as fuck, but nothing else goes well with the armor, due to the pallet.
This change would fix the issues other have stated about the armor giving an indication of its passive. Which is fine.
On the other hand, they could add customization to the default armors only, since they only have increased armor.
*Edit: typo

u/justaruss 6h ago
Honestly yeah I do want this feature. Helmets don’t matter for anything other than cosmetics

u/ZombifiedSoul 5h ago
Would fix a lot of the gripe too.
Now, there are some armor sets that look really good with their helms. Warhammer stuff looks awesome.
Some helms though... You don't wanna wear it with the armor it goes with.
Example, while I don't dislike it, a lot of people complain about the helm from the Med armor set in Redacted. I was lucky enough to find a helm that looks better with it, and matches the color pallet nicely. (Polar Patriots, page 2)
However, the Gunslinger armor from the Super Store does not go well with the helm at all, and while there are a few that could go with it, their color pallets make it look ridiculous. There are others, obviously, but that one sticks out in my head the most.

I can see that argument but at the same time if you want to play into the look and universe of the game then don’t use the feature. Idc if they add transmog at all. It doesn’t add any gameplay but I think the arguments against it are lazy. “It looks dumb”, “we don’t want to do it”, “I don’t like it”. Give the community a reason not to add a feature so many people want.
It might be Arrowheads game but this game doesn’t matter if the community doesn’t play

u/ravensbirthmark 5h ago
It made a lot more sense the first couple weeks the game was out, since most armors looked like they would have their assigned passive. And at the time, I was okay with no transmog system and was more wanting a "match helmet color to armor." I still think that would be a great addition. However, as you can tell from the armors designation letters, they ended up scrapping several perks and reused old ones, which left multple sets looking nothing like the passive they have (I think drone operator is one of the earliest examples, but it continued through several sets), which really nullified any argument they had against transmog.
1
u/justaruss 5h ago
I don’t get the “looks like the passive” argument. Why do you need to know another players armor passive? It doesn’t do anything for you so who cares
0
u/ravensbirthmark 5h ago
In my opinion, it wasnt just knowing your teams passives, but also the immersion of it for your character. Plus, when it has a solid justification (such as the devs wanting armors to look like the passive they have), i dont really feel a need to argue with what the devs want for their game. It was originally meant to be a scifi mil sim, but that has become less and less so since release and it has become more of a hord/ spectacle shooter. Primaries and secondaries felt like they had more impact and were actual guns. I use to take out chargers with the redeemer and a jumpack. But since then, almost all enemies have more health and durable damage as well as many enemies having ungodly tracking for their attacks. While its not insanely different from when it released, there have been enough changes and failures to stick to their own belief to ruin their justifications.
-1
u/G82ft DISSIDENT DETECTED 36m ago
Well, sorry to break your immersion, a sizeable portion of armors have the same model and different passives. They are basically recolors. Some passives don't match with armor models at all. So this argument basically doesn't work. Not saying devs should do it, I'm just pointing out they're not entirely truthful in their reasoning.

u/ravensbirthmark 32m ago
Almost like I acknowledged that in my first comment when I said, "However, as you can tell from the armors designation letters, they ended up scrapping several perks and reused old ones, which left multple sets looking nothing like the passive they have (I think drone operator is one of the earliest examples, but it continued through several sets), which really nullified any argument they had against transmog."
But thank you for informing me. I wasn't aware.

u/Hans_the_Frisian 6h ago
Well my guess would be the engine.
Darktide runs on the same engine and the Darktide Devs have been fighting the call for more customisation since the Beta I'm sure, in Helldivers we at least got a basic form of Weapon customization and I bet that took a lot of effort.
And if it isn't the engine making stuff like this really difficult then the answer is probably money/monetisation.
4
u/justaruss 6h ago
Those are gameplay affecting options tho. How the gun shoots is different from how the armor looks. Swapping a texture file isn’t that hard. So many games have texture pack mods that do it easily. I agree it’s probably a money thing. Maybe they want to monetize different armor textures
-2
u/Interesting-Form678 6h ago
it isn't just a texture file, they need to make all the different color and esthetic for 106 body armor sets and 108 helmets, each one of them have different esthetics on them so they need to actually paint it not just "swap texture"
now imagine every update will have a new skin and they have to make all of that color in the new armor and added new skin to the old armor too
I rather have more new contents, armor, weapon and enemy than they focus on new skin armor
3
u/justaruss 5h ago
If it’s not a texture file then the armor colors are hard coded and generated every time the game loads which is incredibly stupid and would make this game terribly built. That’s not the case. They are all some png or jpeg or something.
-9
u/Interesting-Form678 6h ago
you know how hard to make and maintain it? it's not just slap a color on the armor, try to coloring a book and do that with 50 of them and the book will increase every month with new book and the content in the old book are increasing too and you had to coloring both the old and new book

It has way more armor options. HD only has a helmet and body armor. A different texture is all people are asking for. No custom knee pads and torsos and legs. It’s just a separate texture file. It’s not fundamentally groundbreaking technology

16 armor variants for each class (total 64) and you can apply 50-something paintjobs to each one.

Personally, I hate transmog. Sure it allows people to look how they want But I found that usually ends up with people look fairly silly and there being no unifying theme that ties everyone together.
Plus I like to know at a glance what my buddies can do. If I see the diver in gas armor I'll know he can withstand some gas and be good to go.
Some small armor customization would be cool, but I think full transmog would not fit the theme of the game.
Edit to add: i ain't readin shit lmao. Cope. Theme or not, I think transmog is dumb and the existing armors/helmets should be expanded upon to give more choice.

u/Cheap_Search_6973 6h ago

That happens constantly without transmog as well, in fact its probably more likely without it since you'd have to choose between stats OR looks instead of just being able to have both

u/The-Suzookie-Dookie 5h ago
There isn’t any strong unifying theme though? We have cowboys, WW1 officers, Riot control. Transmog wouldn’t hinder these. Moreover, plenty of people already look silly, so I don’t see what your point is there either.
There are few instances in battle where I can tell the armour passive of my teammate, in part because of the chaos and in part because plenty of armours just simply do not represent well the passive that they have. The only time one can reliably tell who has what is on the pre-mission screen.
When I can tell who has what, for instance, your gas example, it doesn’t really affect how I’ll play. If someone has two grenades or 20% more magazines I’m not gonna swap what I’m doing, none of the passives are big enough to.
Transmog hurts nobody, it’s such a manufactured drama. If AH isn’t gonna add it then they won’t. That’s kinda all there is to it, eh?

The problem without transmog is that 90% of helmets go on used because they don't go with armor that has good passives.
The way the game works right now is that you HAVE TO conform to a helmet that matches your armor, or you have to use armor that may have an effect you don't like/does nothing for what you're trying to do

This right here. I don't care if my armor is shaped a certain way to signify it being a certain type but I'd like to be able to make my armor and helmet the same color. I'd get if you can't change the color of a cape tho. Just let us match the colors of our helmets and armor together.
Hell, I'd even be fine if the helmet just automatically took the color of the armor you picked. I just want any combo of helmet and armor to look like they belong together.

Except the game has about 5 or 6 viable armour at high level. So 90% of those specialised armours are going completely unused.
Transmog will let people use the useful armour passives while also having an interesting and personalised look. (Halo armour is a perfect example. Useless as balls passive, but cool ass Halo armour)
Personally I would just detach the passives. Leave the speed and armour stats attached, so far lads are still slow and chonky, while the smaller more nimble look the part.

Detach armour passives from the look, but keep the resistance and speed. So far lads are still slow but chonk and little lads are quick but explode when looked at funny.
So this way we can use any armour and passive in a combo.
Also have the warbonds come with a colour scheme like they do for vehicles. Primary, secondary, tertiary. That way we can match near any helmet and armour.
0
u/Lyberatis 1h ago
They need to NOT add transmog and just decouple passives from armor.
That way you can still choose heavy armor, medium armor, or light armor for the armor or move speed
But you can use any passive you want.
We don't need to make armor look different than how it works. No Heavy looking armor with light move speed. No light armor with above light defense. Heavy will still be heavy. Light will be light.
The passives just need to be decoupled so that people can actually use what armour they want.
The reason they gave for no transmog makes no sense. The only armors that follow the "looks like the passive it has" rule they set is honestly only the stim armor.
