suggestion, cosmetic armor slots.

[donald.nintendo]

i like certain armor looks. but i don't want to wear heavy stuff and slow my dodges.
please add the ability to play in style without looking weird with armor setups.

Other players are going to make assumptions about your armor rating and build, based on what they see you wearing.

So if you're in a multiplayer match, and they see you wearing leto II armor, they'll assume you're a super heavy tank. But with your "cosmetic" armor idea, you could really be wearing the lowest armor possible, and they're going to really confused about why you keep taking dirt naps every time you're hit.

See the problem?

[donald.nintendo]

then have it only visible to the player using the cosmetic slots. its a third person game. i'll see my character the entire time.

[Suzaku]

Yeah, if they make the change just client side, or also include the ability to inspect other players, then confusion wouldn't be an issue.

[Malidictus]

Didn't they have a cosmetic slot in the first game? I seem to recall it being in one of the DLCs.

I'm personally supremely uninterested in judging other people's performance based on their look. The more freedom of expression people have, the better. If it's THAT important, then an actual "inspect" feature or some sort of text chat would be a far better approach.

Cosmetic armor slots same as in Path Of Exile, or DIablo or whatever so I can look cool and not use LETO or whatver else. I dont even mind if they start selling Skins, heck I love this game its amazing, so if they wantto make it live service Ill be on board as long as greed doesnt take over.

I think it was just changing the color of some armor pieces. I don't recall the first game having proper transmog.

I'd rather prefer for gunfire to invest their resources in qol ( search mode, loadouts, performances ) or new content ( new worlds, new boss / enemies, new game mode ) rather than useless stuff like aesthetic ( and I am glad they dedicated literally no time to character creation ).

The difference between a light roll, midroll, and a heavy roll is only one (1) iframe each so it's not really that important.

But you could do what I did and wear a Bright Steel Ring.
Or any of the encumbrance lowering accessories/potions/traits.

Each set got a single alternate colour variant, like the black Akari set or the glowing Twisted set. A bit different from overriding the appearance of one armour piece with that of an entirely different one.

Ah, thanks for reminding me. Yeah, guess I forgot how that worked. It's been a while. Pity. I still wish we could do overrides. I like Leto's armour as far as appearances go, but I'd like to play around with different looks without rejiggering my entire build.

I think all we need is cosmetics for backpacks. Fae, Drzyr, Root. Because sometimes standart BP is sooooo not in place. Or at least turn it off as helm.

if i have to wear a ring to negate some or even ALL of the weight, that takes away a ring slot. so no. that is not a solution to my issue.

I've changed my mind on the OP's original idea of cosmetic "vanity" slots for armor.

I don't think they went big enough with the concept though. Let me spell it out in two words:

SPONSORED LICENSING!

NFL jersey skins for the torso slot! represent your favorite team while you kill bad guys in remnant II. Soccer for the rest of the globe! With either country logos, or the #'s of famous players on the team!

Licensing from other popular IP's, in gaming, anime, and movies! Want to wear donatellos head from teenage mutant ninja turtles? how about optimus prime? Or sailor moons skirt & legs, or mickey mouses arms with the iconic white gloves.

Or free cosmetics sponsored by companies. How about an outfit entirely in T-Mobile pink! or amazon's logo on a torso skin!

The possibilities are endless! It's all about players being able to express themselves, right? I want to have spiderman's legs, robocop's arms, and a battle toad head. All we need to do is add the microtransaction shop to properly charge for the licensed use, and we're set!

Way to be a sarcastic ass. There's an actual discussion you could have taken part in. Instead, you chose to be a troll. Don't be surprised when nobody cares what you have to say.

[Maraxus]

I'd adore a chance to pick my outfit. Wearing anything but leto's on apocalypse is essentially a no-go if you want to avoid dying in a single hit. Game has so many badass looking outfits and we're essentially stuck with 2 and the highest level of gameplay

Twisted idol amulet saved me , now I can wear heavy armor but be light weight ! Worth it
