If I could buy this as a potential Dire Wolf nose, I most likely would.

DOTA 2 or Planetside 2 level of customization would be sweet.

Things I would get for sure.

- Inner Sphere AC sound suppressors, because the sound is obscene and some extra length and thickness wont hurt some of the puny AC's.

- Sim like cockpit items.

- Maybe some lights on the mech Tron style kind of. Interior and exterior.

- Mechbay customization.

- Orion chassis left shoulder, because the current one is to pointy and annoying especially when it was new.

- Orion walk animation.... A walk animation, not a waddle animation. :)

- Cockpit glass exterior colors.

- The red eye on the commando color change because that is super annoying.

- Pilot quarters addition and customization.

- Dropship and jumpship model and customization if those are ever added.

- Decals of course.

- Mech banners.

- Faction related poster girls like that Kurita one that was on these forums before that I tried to find to show as example but cant. :)

- Pilot customization if they ever add that.

- Marauder, Phoenix Hawk, Valkyrie.

- War horns that look and sound like war horns. Maybe made all future art deco style. Maybe the one thing that would look good with a Warhammer style in Mechwarrior.

- *This is a big one, cockpit items like pilot gear, pistols and swords, also would give this Mechwarrior game a serious addition to /storylore about how pilot personal gear and weapons are. (Dibs on House Davion Katana and if not a Toledo blade! or better yet personal items shouldnt be faction related anyway.)(Firefly or blade runner for pistols or long flintlock pistols. Maybe something low caliber for chic pilots to use. :))

I could easily go for some custom bits and pieces -- scuzzed up cockpit (trash, mags), fun exterior elements etc.

I absolutely loved it when I got my Loyalty Atlas with the different head.

Between the Founders, Loyalty and regular (DDC) Atlas' I have, I have 3 different heads - I think this is great!

Might have been interesting if this was done from the beginning - I might have tolerated a 'cosmetic cash-shop' f2p format for MW a little more, instead of its current pay2notgrind/power-creep format.

There is a lot they could have done with this so called "custom geometry":

* Paying for a "Classic" model pack, turning how only you see all Mechs in-game to their original look (even the cartoonish/goofball ones from the 80s). Examples: Changing how you see MadCats to their original, rounded sleek-jet like appearance or turning your Stalker into the awesome blimp on legs.

* Changing pieces of your Mech with different exterior styles (as in Alistair's example showing the early concept art with different Atlas heads); Example the Hunchback and Banshee cockpit from XTRO:Pirates (These type of things would be seen by other players as well compared to "Classic" model pack that only the player sees)

* Adding external attachments like huge Sashimono and live out your dream of being a Draconis Mecha Samurai

The current way they do unique geometry isnt very good in my opinion, it's a bit half-*****. They just add panels and bars on top, which dont really make much sense either. They need to change shapes, round out or sharpen angles, or even remove geometry to show underlying structure.

Also, 'material' options please (shiny, metallic, matte, etc)

Because we all keep 10 Atlas'? Hardly. Also, not like everyone is going to pay for all 10 - they'll pick the ones they like the best.

Also - I would think that 'special' ones like the F and L heads would not be purchasable.



Can anyone tell me what head the Boars Head has?

It has a normal one.
Just with a special camo.

If one would apply normal camo (like PGI is planning on allowing) it should look like a normal Atlas' head.

None of us give feedback anymore for two reasons. We know it won't happen, and we know it won't happen.

I actually got legitimately mad when he went people on the forums surprisingly didn't ask for custom geometry on mechs after we did the celebration mechs.

I was like yeah we asked for glowing eyes for like 2 years! Couldn't even get that back! Why bother asking for like custom geo in mechs after that point?

Bottom line we did ask and have asked and gave up!

I won't even participate in the cockpit item contests anymore because my ideas were "good but too hard to implement!"

Oh but we got a tree, a locket, and gas mask! Thank god for great EASY ideas! Woot! I'll be not buying any of those either.

There may be something to this. It's certainly a sentiment that seems very common these days, in many regards. People are talking less about what PGI could and should do and simply talking about what is.

We'll see.
