thoughts on cosmetics?

i think skins for the characters that you can unlock by completing some kind of challenge with that character would be a cool thing to add

[SapphireSouls]

Outside of recolours, would be mostly pointless since you get covered in items anyway

Cosmetics should be the reason why your survivors level up out of game.

Helmet cosmetics would be cool, Daft Punk or W40K style ones especially

or hats... every game needs hats.

I would love a color picker every character and some model skins.

Agreed, cosmetics would be dope.

[Boboscus]

Only cosmetics I can see working are recolors of existing characters (which would look pretty meh considering that's the cheapest option) and completely different models for each character. Single items like hats for example would quickly become useless since you can get the items that go over them thus making them invisible.

I find it intriguing that the flavor text for Prismatic Trials says "The top 10% of players get nothing for now". That implies some kind of reward down the road and cosmetics would make sense as a reward.

I'm not sure how I feel about cosmetics. The game has a very specific, nice art style and I've seen so many games absolutely destroy their art style by devolving into injecting ridiculous ♥♥♥♥ in order to pander for sales. Plus the development team is already extremely small and resource thin anyways.

At the very least a limited color selector wouldn't really be a problem either way?

i was thinking going more thru the route of something worth of prestige, to make you feel good about accomplishing something and pushing you towards maining one character that you reallly enjoy like gold chromas or something like that

[Goblins]

I think hats and whatnot are useless, considering they'll get covered in items in the long run (unless they make it an option to hide items on your model). Reskins are the way to go, overall color palette and design of the characters would be pretty rad, slap a cool design on the dome of the commandos big fat helmet or alternate turrets for engineer.

I'm usually against paying for cosmetics and would rather earn them with this game, but if it supports these guys then take my money I guess.
