Nexus... -> Robot Special Customization (12/31/2012 8:45:31)
|
Alright.
So recently I started a suggestion thread which has outlined a ton of new, and completely original robot special ideas. However, after thinking for a while today, I felt like implementing a new robot for every single special was impractical, and obviously never going to happen.
Then I started thinking, "could we add "special" customization to robots, just as there will be ability customization on weapons/armor in Omega?" Absolutely, and in fact, I think it would also be a perfect way to keep Varium relevant, while also keeping the gap closed.
Here is what would happen.
Just like there is going to be an ability shop, there will be a "special" shop for robots. Certain robot specials will have credit options, some will have Credit and Varium options, and others will be Varium only. With this said, Varium-only specials will not be any better than credit only specials in any way shape or form, but would instead allow Varium players access to a wider range of specials (more customization).
ANYWAY
Once the special has been purchased, you are free to swap it out on ANY robot that has a special. I think this would do many productive things, and solve many issues.
1) It adds and enhances upon to the ability customization system coming in Omega
2) It gives a perk/variety to Varium players
3) It is super easy to implement, and will not stress the artists
4) It will greatly reduce build copying (more variety = more builds)
5) It will add diversity to the game
So that is my idea. Feel free to leave some feedback below, and check out my other thread with all of the robot specials!
NOTE: In order for this to work effectively, some other changes must be made. For example, since people will no longer be able to distinguish the special of a robot by its appearance, the equipped special should be shown on the character detail screen.
