Not enough armor/weapon skins

[xDDD]

Why are there so few distinct appearances?
At basically every point in the game you look like everyone else in your subclass and then at the level 50 302+ you look exactly identical to every other person in your class.
Isn't there any way to change the color at least? I'm sick of wearing the exact same blue armor and the exact same gaudy red sword as every other paladin. I thought maybe the sepharim set would look different but NOPE looks exactly the same...

i feel this the gear does not feel unique just endless reskins

[xDDD]

I feel like they kinda just blew their designload way too early. The level 10 gear already looks pretty cool in many cases so it doesn't even feel like you're progressing so much.

Why because it's a free to play game and eventually when they add avatars to cashshop will be plenty https://namu.wiki/w/%EB%A1%9C%EC%8A%A4%ED%8A%B8%EC%95%84%ED%81%AC/%EC%95%84%EB%B0%94%ED%83%80 they need to make money .

Eventually, but why not yet? There's like 2 skins even available atm and they aren't particularly impressive. Actually iirc they are the same skins the founder pack people got (which would really piss me off if I was a founder)
They already have PLENTY modeled I'm sure, yet they don't release any of them for people to buy. I would be happy to pay a little money for a cool skin but as it stands there really aren't any. Furthermore there aren't any particularly cool pets either.

agree, you cant even put the armor you like into the skin slots, and ive not even come across skins you can dye. all the paid skins you cant dye

In Russia there was a kind of 'skin crafting' system in the stronghold, but I'm unable to find it in this version

[Moving Target]

There is a tab for skins at your stronghold and it looks as though you can buy any 'Rapport' NPC skin plus variations for many of them with blue crystals - the hard part is raising your rapport high enough with any of them in order to be eligible to buy them

Yeh I agree they should of . And tbh I don't like the shop ones at the moment

Paladin with full blue armor and a red stick... that's obviously made to make you spend on skins but damn. So ugly

its there, you need to get to a trusted level for the person in order to unlock and craft skin

Because they want you to buy old before new

btw you can earn ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ in game already. Not just the ones you buy. Some might not be as good looking but not all of them are bad

It would be a lot of extra work to have the art team spend as much time on cosmetics as armor in the game. It is one of the best ways for them to make money

Edit is free or the word skin censored... wtf

The korean and russian versions have alot of skins to choose from so dont worry it will come to the western world aswell. Why would it not? Cosmetics tend to be the main source of revenue for many games as people love that, so if there is a demand for it of course Smilegate will meet that demand.

My general guess is that the lack of skins in the shop now is due to the game just being released and that they have other pressing issues to prioritize first.

But I agree with you, there should be more. And it would be in smilegate's best interest to roll out tons of skins now and make bank while the game still has 1mil+ players that is eager to play.

Those figures is likely to drop once people realize how difficult , challenging and time consuming this game is though.

Alot of people in the forums that have not yet gotten to level 50 complain about the game being too easy, but they have are still in the tutorial which the level 1-50 is, it's not supposed to be challenging, it's just a quick introduction to the game systems.

Once people hit level 50 and see the endgame content it is for many so difficult that they hit a brick wall. It's like dark souls on steroids.

I wiped with random groups over 14 times in abyssal dungeons now, many wipes and guardian raids tho. I have studied the encounters and I know what to do but the people i group with dont.

Like on the first boss in second abyssal dungeon you have to cleanse the debuff the boss gives you or you all blow up at 5 marks. the instructions is given on screen, yet people seem to not be able to grasp that concept even though the debuff cleanser is even marked on the map with a yellow dot.

and that is just one of the easy bosses. it gets progressively worse and worse and i dont think a western audience is as hardcore as the koreans and russians so there may be drop off. not because the game is too easy but because it is too hard

[RCarpetaBR]

thank god I dont even care about it

The art department already has made great looking gear. Problem is you get a set you like then need to change it for a set with higher stats. Why not let you keep the gear and just upgrade the stats. Have a system to where you can transmog gear into skins. The art work is there

[Orzeker]

Not gonna lie skins are kinda dry, and the only one in the store for the gunner classes is the trashiest skin in the game probably.

To bad there's no transmog system which isn't paid for and that there's literally no diversity.
