I hope Pgi got the message that we want custom geo.

[Odanan]

Very well made poll.

There is a mech I would love to see customizable: the Battlemaster: with modifications that make it more similar with the Unseen version (bubble cockpit, pistol PPC, etc.). Maybe we will still get a "loyalty" custom geo for it?

About the Clan mechs, I think customization doesn't fit with the standardized nature of the Clans and their omnimechs.
Inner Sphere mechs were assembled (and modified, refitted, refurbished, upgraded or downgraded) by dozens of different factories during several centuries - Clan mechs not.

Thank ye!

The Clan mechs are a bit tricky, but I figure since we have Invasion variants with custom geometry, they may as well make some more custom geo. Maybe it's not 100% consistent with lore, but I imagine all the Clan players would be upset if they couldn't have custom geo Clan mechs. And besides, what about Inner Sphere pilots who like to pretend they've salvaged a Clan mech? Shouldn't they be allowed to have that?

I think clanners would call foul if only the IS got custom geo.

Ya bet yer' arse we would!

Arrr...

Custom me geo matey!

[Sjorpha]

Custom geo would be awesome, I would be prepared to pay MC for it.

But my dearest wish is a possibility to change the state of wear&tear on the camo, and how dirty/faded the mech looks.

Now some mechs look fresh while others look so worn you can hardly see the camo on them. I soo much want to be able to make (for example) a newly painted Jenner or a old worn out Zeus etc.

It could be made rather easily in the camp spec UI with one slider for wear/tear and one for dirt/fading, and then you'd pay 100MC or something to save a new setting.

i dont have to look at my mech so why should i care what it looks like?

seems kindve dumb to spend MC on something youre not even going to look at

ever heard of the term "vanity items"?
think MWO invented them?

Voted. Thanks for the poll.

For the statistics: I would be willing to dump up to 50$ into customizing my Mechs

(Oh and I would dump WAY MORE money into an alternative 3k-4k texture resolution client. JUST SAYING)

Ohh my gawd I would crowdfund a 4k texture pack or something

while we're at it
a vulcan or DX12 render path

Looks like we were somewhat successful. In the Town Hall Russ said "swappable" geo will likely be a thing after decals are finished.

You need a picture of Gimli I think.

[Vellron2005]

I just hope they make some good ones..

One of the biggest sellers would be Executioner arms I think.. hell I'd pay to get rid of those stubs and have some cool ones, perhaps a hand.. or a flail.. or even a hammer... anything would be better than stubby "war veteran victim" arms..

I can't help it.. here's a few ideas:

1) Atlas scull - obviously. More scull, pirate scull, grizzled scull..

2) Executioner Arms / hammers / hands

3) Timberwolf snout with "sharkface teeth" or cut-off tip like on the Ebon Jag.

4) Centurion shield arm - Shield.

5) Black knight with "spikes" on the "knight's armor"

6) Mad Dog with round black leg elements like the ones on the shadow cat

7) Shoulder guards on some humanoid mech's shoulders

8) Awesome left arm with a humanoid fist

9) Different exterior cockpit colors (Black, orange, green, yellow, red, blue)

10) Direwolf / Warhawk / Adder - spikes or "turtleshell" like ridges on the outer top box

11) Crab / King crab - Sideways opening claws / circular opening claws / spikes and ridges for the king crab top plate

There's plenty more ideas.. you guys post some of your own..

I like your ideas. The main restriction is CCG (custom cosmetic geometry) can't modify hitboxes. The claws opening sideways would modify hitboxes.

Until I can choose the game mode I want to play, You aren't getting 1 red cent out of me. SUCK ON THAT

This is about us players wanting to personalize our mechs. Don't penalize us by going against it just because of other aspects of the game.

Your feedback has no relation to this suggestion.

[TheArisen]

Over 400 "yes" votes between both types.

CCG should be in the works after decals get in so hopefully late this year/early next.

Hells, maybe they get it into the game.. just maybe..

I think PGI needs to limit the amount of cool stuff that is limited to wildly expensive mech packs.

No, they don't. I envy that cool stuff as much as the next guy, but people wouldn't spend so much money on it if it was available any cheaper way. That stuff is what allows/causes the whales to spend so much money on this game, and while those whales may not be a make/break part of the customer base, I'm certain they're a significant portion of the revenue, which means I don't want them to stop spending money on this game.

[MechTech Dragoon]

I love this idea, and hands down would put money into it. Should work the same as skins, one shot or unlockable.
People put money into skins like crazy in other games, pgi can make tons of money with this.

Laser barrels would be a big one for me.
having large med small and tag all look the same drives me nuts.
and i hate the look of some of the ultra acs. Some variation in weapon barrel skins would be great.
