Let's Get Vain
« on: 28 Jun 2011, 11:07 »

Imagine, if you will, that CCP executes a masterstroke and EVE (or your love for it) weathers the storm, successfully implementing a vanity items market and living on happily forever and ever.  What dream vanity accessories/clothes would you want for your avatar?  These could have a big impact on immersion and RP and despite its numerous present flaws, I expect that the Incarna engine will be able to handle a limitless variety in the end.  These are some of the things I'd like to see:

  • Visible cyber prosthetics (hands, arms, legs, skulls); the Caldari avatars used to have some extensive Terminator-esque options for the face and head
  • Implant hints; even if they're just vanity items I'd like to be able to add Illusive Man style effects to eyes, for example
  • Glowing halos (around the head or even whole body); imagine an Amarrian traditionalist/Theology Council egger who cows his flock with "cheap tricks", I remember this being done in Foundation and have always longed to see it in more places
  • Personal shield; an extension of the above, a faint shimmer around the body and projection device on a belt or bandolier would give the impression of having a first-rate personal defense system
  • Holsters and sidearms; PF says you can have weapons on a station if they're the high-tech kind with automatically disabled fire selection, they'd be useless as weapons but would still make a statement
  • Dog tags; with and without visible faction/corp insignia
  • Cultural accessories; the various odds and ends that our avatars used to wear all the time: transparent visors (Gallente), metallic and lace head dresses (Intaki and Ni-Kunni), face masks (Vherokior), Secret Service "bluetooths" (Achura), etc.

Imagining a capsuleer with aurum grills made me laugh really hard, thank you

It would be comical to see players wearing ballgags and leashes at all times and not just during sex.

But (I wouldn't drop more than a few dozen million on any of these things, incidentally) seriously, more clothing choices.  Hell, even some basic colors would be nice.  Choosing between rust/olive/black/white/gray isn't exactly a thrilling palette to work with.

So I could live forever
It's such a shame the same

You really haven't been that long in the EVE RP scene have you?  :lol:

Also decorative katanas, there was a time when every other khanid and achur trotted around with one. Seeing much less of that lately.

Black Khanid combat armor with that black hood like our old avatars had.

And/or Dust-styled combat armor.  :bear:
