For aesthetic and roleplaying reasons it would be great if skeleton warriors and mages were given alternate visual options. Quick example:
Skirmishers: Default, Rogues, Wraiths.
Defenders: Default, Knights, Mummies.
Reapers: Default, Deathknights, Ghouls.
Same treatment for mages.
For the devs to commit to adding this - I think the MTX shop would have to be a consideration. In fact. I think Blizzard is seriously sleeping on how much money this would make them. I’m heavily against MTX in 9/10 cases, but they don’t really have any incentive otherwise to commit devtime to it.
A good middle-ground would be if Minion visual unlocks are added for free to players through achievements. But gate some of them behind the shop. This way Blizzard has a financial motive to add it, while also giving players some of these for free.
I don’t speak for anyone else than myself when saying this next part: I’m heavily against MTX practices in games, but if given the option to change how my minions looks for roleplaying and aesthetic reasons? That’s where I leave any morals and dignity behind and start spreading the cheeks on my wallet.
Running around with a pack of rabid ghouls, mummies or more heavily armored looking deathknight type summons as a visual option would be awesome imo. Your thoughts?
