hello! thank you!!

but in regard to the bull changing to a wolf, thats also something that would be a bit too far for a variant. those are typically color changes to the existing weapon, and changing the bull to a wolf in that way would basically involve making a new model (or portion of a model)

this is something we've talked about as a team regarding how we address "re-releases" of a skin thematic. Prime is what we've called our 2.0 set, compared to glitchpop for example that we refer to as a 1.1 (just more of the same). We're slowly learning more about what players want in terms of themes that are similar vs a fully complete collection.

no way! we never want guns to be confused between one another and audio is a really distinct feature that helps separate them

thank you! we'll be here for a bit so if you do have questions let us hear it!

i think the idea of prism is a good one of course. any knife with a gradient fade of some kind (especially on a clean model) is something that we know players want. we've done enough of prism though to the point where i think we've covered almost every weapon across the 3 sets. that doesnt mean we wont have that kind of effect on other skins in the future though

we're always on the lookout for new content to bring to players. we've talked about gloves or anything character related in the past and we're looking into all options, we just have to be smart about the decisions we make and how we plan to execute

This is something super important to address - we are looking into the optionality for you to choose your level, and the level of optionality that you're looking for in terms of being able to toggle on or off specific features is something we wont be doing. There is a lot of complexity and structure that needs to be built into these systems to get them to work correctly and that causes a huge mess of tech (not to mention refactoring all existing content) that we're not willing to invest in.

We typically stick to 2 levels for melee weapons because we want to have the upgrade feel impactful. If we gave less features spread across more levels that would be pretty feelsbad. Melee has generally less things to play around with than a weapon too so we're limited in the spaces we can play

saaaame

EDIT: Thank you everyone for joining in the conversation and not flaming us too hard. We're
signing off for the night! Hopefully you don't hate the next karambit! XD

TL;DR: Sean and Preeti are here from the Premium Content (cosmetics) team! Some of you’ve told us that you don’t like the equip animation for the Prime//2.0 upgraded melee and are asking if we can change it. We typically don’t make changes to live products unless competitive integrity is violated because some players did purchase/upgrade that skin due to its existing design. We are investigating what a skin level toggle system would look like and as a result o...

The ghosts are on their way! This is a similar situation that we had around launch where players were like "give us Phantom skins!" - everything is in the pipeline right now we just have to wait until they release. for ghosts specifically i think we had a skin bundle originally planned to come out much earlier but we had to hold it due to some schedule release conflicts. Rest assured though we're trying to make sure we always have a decent amount of evolving skins for each weapon

haha. ill take the high five for this one :D

yes. yes it is

oh glad to know its not wanted, i kept going back and forth on that one. we were considering it but if players dont want it then we'll trash the idea.

ill shut this down right here. :P we're not working on it. haha - BUT! similar to the conversations happening around Prime 2.0, its good for us to understand from players what they want or expect in a new bundle. the way we define glitchpop vs Prime is either in a "more of the same" (1.1) or "similar but different" (2.0) mentality. Prime is definitely the first of the 2.0 example and we want to figure out which is more exciting for players. So jumping back to elderflame, if we were to do another bundle of that - do we give more literal elderflame skins on other weapons? do we do another race or species of dragon on new weapons? do they all still shoot fire or would we do ice? etc etc. all these sorts of questions are things we would have to consider for making a 2.0 set

O_O just hearing that makes me sweat a little. haha. what would you expect in an elderflame 2.0 bundle?

of course there will be some more premium ghosts :D it all has to be balanced out. for the color variants, would you have preferred they stay the same as they were for the first Prime guns? With this set we wanted to do something a bit different and unlike glitchpop, even the weapons themselves should feel a bit different than the first set, and we're trying to see what players respond to - "do you want all of your guns themed the same, or do you want all of your guns to literally be the same"

its funny because when Ruin came out in the battlepass we heard a lot from players "finally a karambit!" and we were over here like "you all dont even know yet ;) "
