Suggestion: Reputation Costume Projects award New Costume Slot

tk79

Motivation

Since S9, players are no longer able to turn armor visuals on and off.

Those players who relied on that functionality to show their armors now have to use up a costume slot in order to do so.

Details

Upon earning the first* Costume Unlock in a given Reputation tree, awards the player with a single costume slot. The unlocks come from earning the ground related pieces, and not running projects (no longer available in S9).

The new slot should not be restricted to the armor being unlocked (MACO/Omega, Voth, Undine) so the player could use it however they want.

* Further costume unlocks within the same Reputation would not award new costume slots. (Case in point: MACO + Adapted MACO + Omega. This could be up for debate, since they're all different visuals that the player would like to have at their disposal, without having to spend default costume slots on them.)

At the time of this writing, under this suggestion, it would be possible to unlock three new costume slots: MACO/Adapted/Omega (single unlock), Voth, Undine. (Five new slots if different armors within a Reputation are considered.)

This would give a new motivation to reach T5 in given reputations. Players are going there anyway if they want the armor visuals.

But it's a feature; now you have to spend zen on more costume slots, which will go towards allowing Cryptic to be able to invest in more content for you down the road. It's actually a huge windfall for you. You just don't know it yet. :eek:
