Cosmetic Mods

[Bran Mak Morn]

I read the FAQ and saw where a Steam workshop isn't supported as of yet. I was just wondering if skins and personalization mods for gear and outfits would be cool with the staff? None of that would give unfair advantages in the game, so, it would be fun and build community. Just put a warning out on the workshop if you do that, stating powering and UI mods are a no-no.

Also, cosmetic mods in game would be even cooler. I'd love for them to be as accessable on free-to-play accounts as they would be for premiums. Of course, the coolest gear and skins could be store items.

I hate MMO's that have a basic currency then boast of a fully working economy, but deliver a useless currency and inflated economy 1990's India would be ashamed of.

I'm pretty sure they said in their FAQ that they don't officially support mods but you can mod your game if it doesn't give you any advantage (stat boosts etc).
If it's just cosmetics, I think you're good to go but wait for another official reply on that.

Yeah, from FAQ:

Is it OK to mod the game? Will Steam Workshop be supported?

We don’t officially support this, but so long as you avoid activities which allow you to gain an unfair advantage or progress the game through irregular means, we don’t necessarily have a problem with it. Just keep in mind that if you do use mods, it may prevent you from earning Steam achievements.

This is good idea imo. I send fighters naked cus i dont wanna destroy gameplay of other people, but its annoying to see sexy bois only in short pants. Also i play a lot in lower floors and i dont wanna waste money for stuff (im miser, i know) so I play without any clothes. So cosmetict clothes without stats or just skins that we can PUT at the current outtfits would be noice for me. About FAQ, i dont know i understand it, but does that mean we can mod by ourself if this dont make us better, right? Seriously, DEVS think everyone can make 3D models or...... exacly, I cant even tell what i cant do. Thats why workshop would be cool. Maybe workshop like in L4D2? We just subscribe, what we want to see in our game.

Yeah, if they did it as a part of the vanilla game, it would be one of the best games ever produced, but lets not get our hopes up. The content selection could be universal in that case, so that the players wouldn't have to have matched mod files to play MP sessions. The biggest drawback in user mods is file addition or changing that leads to compatability issues. I'd set up a forum suggestion poll every week and have a team working on additional gear every few weeks, to keep server impact low when they add it in like patches. The thing that keeps players on a game years later are the cool mod lists. The thing that kills the games user bases eventually is generally mod conflicts.

It's all good. I was just adding to that, and throwing this out there for whoever wants to speak on it.
