3rd colour option

Right now the charcter creator is one of the best from online games if not the best, however having only 2 colours to select from can be quite limiting.

My suggestion is to have a 3rd colour available as a new layer.
for example, you pick blue as your main colour, red as the secondary( effecting the detail you apply and the 3rd colour would be a second detail you can apply over the top of the first. e.g blue as main, red as second ( deatil chosen is thorns) and finally the 3rd is white (using daggers). Even if theis was made available to the chest section only it would greatly open up the level of customization in the game.

thoughts?

You can select individual colours for different parts

Could work would involve adding a new layer to all the costume parts that currently use patterns (capes,shields,chest,gloves,etc etc etc) but it would be worth it in terms of the amount of variation it could open up for costume creation.

Should probably be done as part of a costume creator overhaul though unless its ridiculously easy to implement on its own.

It would be nice to colour individual parts of a costume, rather than being stuck with the block system of present. Still, its a good editor, and im not going to knock it =]

I wouldn't have thought it would hard to put in as the layers already exist . Its just a case of adding a new drop down menu for chest details.

i just like to make my hair be the way i like it, it's kinda plain right now.
what if we could have hair a bit like war witch, no plain 2 mixed colors but 2 colors clearly seen on the eyes.

From what I hear the new DC MMO is going to have multiple layers in its costume creator. Would be nice if we could beat them to the Punch and retain the title of best character creation.

If I recall correctly, examining the .costume files created by the Save option on test servers has shown that 4 RGB colors are saved for each costume piece. So the data structure is already there, except for capes that already use all 4 colors.
Also, what you are suggesting is (the way I understand it) not a third color as such, but a way to have 2 different color patterns on the same costume piece.


I do not suffer from altitis, I enjoy every character of it.

Thats it in a nutshell yeah, so for example you could base colour blue, then layer 1 daggers in red and then layer 2 as thorns in white.

Just this alone would open up a huge amount of customization without having to design new items

I'm not sure I see a real benefit here in terms of dev time
