Ranger, Storm, and Interceptor all have 4 Customizable Armor parts while Colossus only has 3 because head and torso are combined because of the armor. PLEASE PLEASE PLASE give the Colossus a 4th part to customize and have that be our shield!
Why was this not thought of years ago? Our shield comes out of a small part on our left forearm and could easily take various shapes. The hitbox doesn't need to change at all so just allow us to use different shapes or add specific markings to the shield.
A quick list of possible things we could customize...
- Shape
- Standard, Kite, Heater, Targe, Pavise, etc...
- Material
- Same as the options for the rest of our armor
- Patterns/Vinyls
- Again we can put current Vinyls and such to use or be able to paint patterns on it like a cross or even all the cool symbols we see on the shape "puzzles"
- Wear State / Damage
- Bullet holes/damage (like in the launch video), scorch marks, claw marks, dings and dents, etc...
My armor looks lived and and fought in, I want my shield to represent as well! Besides Colossus needs that 4th part just like the other Javelins!
Hope you see this BioWare!
EDIT: Ohh my how this has blown up! So glad to see so many people on board with this! I'm trying to respond to many of your posts (I'm at work shhhh) but there are just so many posts LOL! Keep all the upvotes and comments coming! Hopefully EA/BW will see this and put it in the ToDo list!
EDIT2: WOW Thank You, all you kind strangers! Silver, Gold, AND Platinum! You are all so kind! I don't even know what Platinum does for me but I'm gonna find out LOL!
EDIT3: Still hoping for some responses from the BioWare guys... Keep updooting and commenting with more thoughts and Ideas Ladies and Gents!
EDIT4: Thanks for even more gold and silver community! Also this post is past 400 comments now and I've tried to keep up the best but I'm gonna call it a night for now and check back soon in hopes of a BioWare reply lol! Keep the comments and ideas coming tho as I love reading what ideas everyone has!
EDIT5: I've gotten a lot of comments about how this potential feature shouldn't be done in expense of fixing the bugs. I would never want this to happen before people can fully enjoy the game! This post was about bringing something new for the Colossus, who we all know is lacking the most in terms of customization given the fact that it only has three armor parts. I would hope the Devs at BioWare would know to work on fixing the game before focusing on Cosmetic chages.
That being said... Cosmetics and Bug fixing are not going to be done by the same people. There would have to be art mockups and a whole lot of work well before any in game implimentation. All of which could go on while the coders and QA work to fix the game. Remember that teams of people work on this game in various pockets. But rest assured I want this game to be solid before we get more shinies LOL! Hell BW hasn't even responded to this post at all and even tho we've generated a lot of chatter, ideas, and traffic regarding the post, that doesn't mean anything would ever become of it. I truly hope it does, but I'm not gonna hold my breath either lol!
