Vehicle decals and soldier personalization

[Ϩ Tython]

It would funny and cool to be able to put a little decal on vehicles, maybe make it a micro-transaction.
For soldiers, allowing them to select a skin before loading into the world, like a "mechanic" skin,"a halloween skin for events,skins for more detailed uniforms, put a knife as standard load-out item and put skins on that for different types of material, or even a complete transformation of the hammer, turning it into a trench shovel.

I say all this because I think this game would benefit from being F2P and have aesthetics that allow for platoons more than anything to have some kind of uniformity with a group of players.

You don't need it, but this game is niche enough pull in crowds given the opportunity.

What's wrong with micro transactions on aesthetics?

i think there should be a war based character/soldier progression system, nothing insane but for instance after 100 kills with a weapon, spread and wheight of that weapon is decreased by a tiny amount.... or for medics bandaging speed is increased by a tiny amount after x amount of heals.....so that as the war progresses a player gets the feeling of improving, i know this goes against the do what ever you want paradigm, but hey this is a hook for players worthy of implementing imho.... And then maybe after the war is over and you healed 1000 people xD you get your white medic arm band with a fitting hat... and if you meleed 1000 people you get your rambo headband... to have some extrinsic rewards.- this game has a ton of potantial but it is very unlikely that without some kind of player progression it can grow from where it is at right now i think.

please no

trade commend points for cosmetics

didn't the devs explicitly state that they were against any form of microtransactions in game? Whilst I agree that adding in some purely cosmetic upgrades/decals/skins would be nice, i'd rather it was based on the players skill than how big their wallet is.

As for being F2P: Hell no.
if this game goes F2P it'll die off in a week, due to the devs becoming burnt out crunching for endless microtransaction ideas in order to keep the game afloat.

you mean actual players? You do realise that right now 120 people WORLD WIDE are playing this? So roughly 60 a side. Spread over 3 active combat maps that are mimimum 1.8km wide, for a linear front line at least 5.6km long or up to 10km (assuming best case scenario), meaning that per side, each player is responsible for 100-160m of front line, assuming that every player is at the front and reasonably straight front line. In practice roughtly 1 in 10 players are AFK. Another 1 in 15 are logistics, and another 2 in 10 are dead or in the process of respawning, meaning that on each map, at any given time, per side, there are 9 players in combat, each responsible for 620-1100m of front line.

Seems like the game could do with ANYTHING that attracts players. Making the game F2P could postpone server death by a couple of months.

Maybe but not at the expense of bankrupting the company. If it goes F2P the devs will be forced to add in microtransactions which they've stated WILL NOT HAPPEN. they said so in big bold font on the store page.

Your suggestion of making the game F2P is tantamount to an instagram influencer wanting free food because they will post a picture on instagram of the establishment. You can request it, but don't be surprised when the owner instead charges you *double for it.

It would hardly bankrupt them. Even without micros the income would be basically the same - very little. Basically anyone who would buy the game, has already brought the game, so the daily income would be pretty minimal. With F2P, to avoid micros they could maybe sell some ad space? Anyway - my point really is that the game is on its last legs and they need to do something drastic to save it, although I don't really think that its possible in anyway. People don't really return to games. There is always something new to play.
