New Cosmetic system for Soldiers was Introduced last update.
It was Fascinating, but was pretty expensive for users to actively use it.
To Fully change a soldier, it almost takes like 450Golds, and +150 extra for Face changing.
It takes almost 4.99 - 5.99 USD to fully make up single soldier, and will be like 35USD for 7 men.
So I suggest the Cosmetics Pack, Which is way more User- Friendly and easy to make up squads.
For example, making the packs with specific concepts like:
“101st Pathfinders Pack”" or “Soviet Guards Infant Pack” would make it more identical and Interesting item.
I think These new package system could make more income for the company, and wider selections of Cosmetics for Users.
This is nice idea, not just as a replacement for the current system, but as an complementary system. Among the players who care about the soldiers’ outlooks, some of them want one specific cosmetic, while others want a bunch of cosmetics. For the former, the current system(but with lower cost of course) is better. For the latter, buying a pack might be a better choice.
Personally I would like being able to buy the cosmetics in the pack separately as well. In return, the sum of the cost of buying the cosmetics separately must be way higher than the pack. Please ask me if my words are confusing.
Tbh, uniforms should also be cheaper by double the time.
But that’s my opinion.
Unless it contains a camo or have actual special stuff.
P.s.
I dislike the dlc concept.
Because lots of cool and more realistic cosmetics will be mostly locked behind a paywall. And I really dislike that. Because it’s just an excuse to leave the current one questionable and put more effort in the dlcs. You either put effort in all, or none.
Plus, it would kinda kill the concept of premium squad.
So… in order to avoid adding more stuff for a paywall ( especially camo that shouldn’t be locked. Like the one linked above ) but that’s just my opinion. And not for that price even if it’s for 12 people. But again, that’s just me.
I know it’s an example, but I’m not sure 12 outfits is worth about $26 dollars. I would say up to $20 would be good, with $10-15 would be the best, at least imo. I would prefer outfits to be unlocked for unlimited usage throughout the whole squad rather than the individual character, but if that’s impossible, it needs to be reasonably priced, especially since it’s priced by each piece of clothing rather than a group of things.
Well that 25.99 on image is just a placeholder, I just had no time to change the image after i thought the price
I personaly think 14,99 would be fine for it. well it may be still expensive for digital graphics and codes, but for me it would be affordable than cosmetics on sale individually now.
I did the math, since I main Moscow and I have all the premium squads, using your 5-6 USD estimate for a soldier. Assuming premium squads would be customizable, it would cost $990 to $1188 to customize your entire nation. That’s just accounting for the Soviets in Moscow. I would assume it would be doubled if you were doing both sides in Moscow. Not to take in account the four other campaigns, plus more campaigns in the future which will most likely have customization.
I still think they could care both the current and the DLC style system, they have enough capability for that.
well, Premium squad these days doesn’t have that much special clothes, most of them just use same clothes as the basic soldiers, but slightly different colours or something so. I think it would be ok
yes, customizing soldiers individually would cost a lot. well those packages wont be that cheap but it would be way more affordable compared to the price of current system
I don’t think they should even be close to that to begin with. If they have no intention of making the base outfits for free and special outfits paid for, then they need to make it a one time purchase per squad. It’s saying something where I would have to spend more money to customize the main team I play in a day then I’ve probably spent on this game buying all the premium squads for Moscow Soviets, OBT access, Stalingrad Full Access for over a year now of playing, I believe. All of which came with weapons, squads, custom outfits etc. against simple outfits that would have been given by putting soldiers in and out of a squad prior. I would definitely pay for the ability to customize my army, but a full month of rent is absurd for virtual clothing.
Also, cosmetics should NOT be soldier specific, so that if a player chooses (for whatever reason) to send a soldier to the rear, the cosmetics he paid for that soldier remain available for another one.
I wish they would let us use the standard squad uniform parts for free. Or at least would make them unlockable like in WT.
For someone who is not into fancy clown squads the current “system” (putting soldier into reserve and than back to squad) was enough.
For me personally the Stalingrad style customisation would be a huge step back. Like why should I pay for something that I used to do freely for ages.
