As we approach S4 and a full year since launch it’s extremely frustrating that the transmog and customization system was never updated with any new features. Considering the game revolves around creating a new character every three months those systems should be frequently updated to keep it fresh and new.
A few suggestions:
-
Add new dye colors like black, white
-
Add lighter and darker options of current colors. For instance: have three options when choosing a color like dark red - med red - light red
-
Add a custom color creation system with sliders for hue, saturation and intensity (this would be the best option instead of adding a bunch of new colors)
-
Add a finish option to dyes or transmogs like gold, silver, copper, and emerald with an option for shiny, worn and tarnished
-
Add a condition option to dyes or transmogs like worn, burnt, dirty, bloody and tarnished
-
The initial transmog items are unlocked by salvaging items that have the new unlearned transmog on it, but no new items have been added. Each season should have one new complete transmog set for each class to unlock through salvaging, These sets should be a seasonal theme and have a lower drop rate, so players need to have some luck to unlock the full set each season. This will also give players an incentive to play and something to chase each season
-
Add new items and features to the creation system like body type sliders, new face and hairstyle options and more body markings
-
Add a new seasonal challenge system named season exploits or season feats (just two random ideas) as a way to unlock rare and unique items
For example: This can be anything from killing enemies, killing enemies with certain skills for each class, completing activities, killing bosses and so on.
Novice rank: Kill 1500 enemies with fire
Proficient rank: Kill 5000 enemies with fire
Adept rank: Kill 10,000 enemies with fire
Expert rank: Kill 15,000 enemies with fire
Master rank: Kill 25,000 enemies with fire
(This is an example, but it should be a challenge to complete these)
Each rank should reward something useful like high level items, gold and crafting resources, but Master should unlock a unique seasonal themed trasmog item.
- Add a way to unlock new backgrounds and poses for the character profile page each season. Themed or animated poses and backgrounds could be cool
These are a few ideas and suggestions since I find creating a character every three months with the same colors options and items extremely boring. These systems really should not be ignored moving forward.
