greetings. as announced yesterday, this is the main thread linking the various reworks and additions needed for the whole system to work better.
as entitled, this whole megathread aims to fix and improve the customization SYSTEM. which does not include some uniforms missing, missing sets etc. that will come AFTER. so please do not start " JaPAn LaCks / tHEsE uNIfORms ARe Bad " etc
i’ll briefly mention the various " main " points very vaguely. more info will be explained inside said thread.
first and foremost,
in which in the first part;
shared cosmetics across campaigns should be linked if present when bought
Faces should be bought only once on a soldier. doesn’t make much sense that the same soldier would go on a facial reconstruction when going in another theater
would fix the unnecessary problem of having to buy the same item despite being available in one or more campaign presets on the same soldier.
customization cards price reduction
due to the amount of soldiers needed to customize entire factions and / or brs with all the amount of campaign presets for each nation
in the second and more substantial part of needed reworks and additions:
introduce modular Universal pouches for all tunics
this would solve the problem of certain tunics lacking a certain type of pouches
simplifies the work needed when introducing new cosmetic pieces without having to worry about creating several different pouches just for new tunics like the old ways
create & add all pouches type to the equipment and shop menu ( small, / big ammo pouches )
this way players will be able to decide which visual ammo will appear on their soldiers
due to the equipment already replacing visually part of the preset from bought customization
reorganize the customization list & clean it up
more clean and organized
create subfolders of the same item instead of placing them all over the place ( within the customization list menu )
more clean, organized, and user friendly
remove pouches from the cosmetic presets
for easier introduction of future and current missing pieces
plenty of time saved to spend on doing something else
due to moving the pouches to appear visually when selected equipment
and to conclude:
make customization bundles of all unique cosmetic items from premium and event squads
award those customization bundles to players upon buying or receiving new event & premium squads ( award them retroactively if players bought / obtained already some of those squads )
allow players to use said bundles and receive the unique cosmetics to apply / use onto any other squad
increases sales and appeal of premium squads even if not " up to date "
allows players to use their favorite unobtainabled cosmetics onto any other squad based on their preferences
increases and offers countless of new combinations
and that would be all.
as usual, it is a bit vague, but as provided in each thread, more details and words were spent there.
@Shiivex as promised, my work here is done.
and this mega thread completed.
this may be " a lot of work ".
but it’s nothing more than fixes and improvements by taking what we have, and making it the best it can ever be.
if any of you two could send it to the higher ups, that would be great.
I’d like premium and event squad cosmetics become available for purchase on all appropriate squads when you aquire the squad, otherwise I have nothing else to add and I remain 100% in favour.
60? Well at that point yeah I won’t need to buy any more.
As long as I get enough for what I want I’ll be happy.
It does mean that if you’re buying several of these bundles they could clog up the UI, just a light concern though, a “owned” filter would likely fix that.
but kinda not enough for any other faction because you have plenty of squads and soldiers to cover.
let alone the fact that there are many different presets.
the idea was, 60 should cover at best 6 infantry squads for at least 3 presets.
aka, enough to cover 2 sets of brs ( both low and high )
mh… no.
they are like a dedicated shop page.
where you can buy additional bundles.
if anything, the items will just stack.
there rarely is an issue with UI when it comes to the customization
( beside some… occasional picture ui but that’s unrelated )
or perhaps, if the items runs out, they’ll just cost 6 appearance cards to buy similar to others items.
Might go even further by making tunics, trousers, headwears, footwears, belts, suspenders, pouches, bags, trinkets all separately purchasable each costing 1 card. All troops however need to come with basic helmet, tunic, trouser, boots, and belt w/ suspender.
Oh dont even begin to get me started on it, I will go genuinely insane, at least for the germans and soviets you have slightly better variations available.
For the US you get stuck with just the completely wrong gear if you want a certain uniform type or pattern.
Thank you very much for your work!
I have been waiting for a customization fix with high hopes even before the merge update, so I have been waiting for 2 years now.
Despite my longing, it only ever seems to get worse.
faces and helmets dont carry over anymore, prices are still impossibly high which was never fixed only worsened with even more campaigns added, worst of all selection was actually reduced rather than increased.
And now with the update, even though players can finally have Italian soldiers, they still dont have Italian squads or even if they do own more than 2 thanks to having suffered through Tunisia campaign, they cant enjoy the pasta boys outside of Tunisia!
So why is customization still trash after so much time, so many suggestions and so much angry feedback?
Devs clearly had time to ruin G43kurz, add guerrillas and jets, remove gold order shop and make BP a fomo nightmare for which no one ever asked for.
They even have time to stage battles for promotional videos
And most importantly, they have time to develop a game none of us wanted
Its high time devs work on things people support them for.
