Precious items are ugly. Why.

[-=|Kenlaboss|=-]

Why are most of the skins and precious item so ugly in this game? And why are there so many immersion breaking cosmetics?

This seems as a failed and missed opportunity to make the game sustainable on lootboxes.

Why for instance are the precious items fully golden, it's simply just ugly, and also handed out for free most of the time. There is simply no regulation of the items in the game making the items worthless as the market has shown. This is purely laughable.

Still love the game though.

I do want engravings that KF1 had on them goldies. They often look like to me sticks of butter. Cosmetic breaking immersion is common in most games aren't they? TF2 has the same cosmetic issue as well if it is that what you mean.

Muh immersion!

To motivate players/modders to make their own so they can be implemented into the game without losing dev time/a lot of money.

Which is exactly what happened and still does.

Well if you are so bent on succumbing to the attention engineering technologies that provide you with a totally worthless, empty and narcissistic sense of self, that needs constant sources of outside validation to prevent it from collapsing, then I suppose you have a valid complaint.

Personally, I would suggest other ways of viewing the issue.

Few cosmetics look "bad", it's just a matter of picking up cosmetics that share a similar aesthetic which can be kinda hard, especially one that's shared between your loadout and weapon skins. There's some obvious sets of items that are meant to go together, but beyond that it's really just a hodgepodge of nonsense.

Might be easier to find a look that suits you if items had proper ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ tags for filtering and searching.

"Make a damn free to play game if you are going to use a free to play model" as people would say about this.

I was going to say a bunch of infammatory things but held off because you seem to be complaining that you can't whale it out for reasons.

There is 'Precious' items, and then there is Vault PRECIOUS items.

It's kinda weird how Vosh Precious items are more appealing than the Precious items.
The black and gold pattern makes for an astonishingly beautiful design... while on the other hand Precious items are just a block of gold.

The vosh precious items are in every aspect possible superior (design, availability, always mint condition, and free of keys).

Do not buy Precious items.
The only reason you'd buy one is to brag about having something rare in supply, but that does not justify its ugly aesthetics.

If it could be applied to a conversation, it'd be something like

"Hey I got this t-shirt for 99.99$!"
"Oh nice... but it's just a flat white t-shirt?"
"yeah, but the store manager claims they are VERY rare"

Precious RGB neons would like to have a word with you.


It depends on what type of precious items you wanna get.
-Top Tier/shelf stuff are RGB neons that actually do something and change color
-Mid-tier are seasonal event items
-lower tier are everything else

Vault precious items are a 50/50.

All depends. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Though i would like it if precious items had a kick to them like studded with diamonds, emeralds, rubies, or hell even covered with dosh like the strap on some guns or the pilot light on flamethrowers literally burning dosh lmao. Alll gold with nothing on it hasn't been very popular since CoD MW2 days.

I do somewhat agree with the TF2 argument, but at the same time not, it's literally a cartoony universe which became sillier as the characters unraveled their stories and personalities. With Gmod videos forming the artstyle's silliness. Atleast that's my opinion.

Killing floor 2 has quirky voice lines sure, but the main game is somewhat based on reality in the sense of artstyle and weapons. It's a far more realistic game than TF2 is what I'm sayign right now.

I'm talking about immersion breaking items such as the shark hat, mushroom cloud out of the ears cosmetic(just a plain stupid idea to even have it in game), and the clot(or cyst) riding on your back item.

There should be an option to turn off Weapon skins and cosmetic items separetely (or an option to turn off all neon skins to begin with).

Until then I'll be playing solo or with my friends, except when I get lonely... which I do often.

I don't like the neon skins, but they fit hell of alot better than the blocks of gold. It just boggles my mind that so many people don't see through this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, just because it's gold and says rare(or precious) doesn't mean it's worth anything more than the bragging rights, which are literally non.

It either means that you wasted money on a KF2 USB loot box or you literally bought the item overpriced, either way it's somewhat awkward and shameful. Unless it's the vietnam case of course. Those were pretty good I must say, except the "War is hell" 1911, But I just find it hard to believe that someone hypocritically wrote that on their pistol.

The Neon skins aren't made by TWI, they are made by IJC Development that has their skins whitelisted and then released as fully purchasable skins by TWI, this goes back as far as KF1.

I just need harold lott skin in kf2 to be immersive
