Thread: How about a nice soft pitch....Devs try to hit this one.

Now that a TON of development has been done to cosmetics, and the addition of more and more cosmetics...AND the addition of more and more creep skins...

Can we just get cosmetics turned back on in the moors...please?

I still find it absurd that I cannot wear my R12 (soon to be 13) cloak after a million and a half renown in the moors without gimping myself.

Let's be honest. The class gear models in this game have never been distinctive enough to be the SOLE identifier anyhow. Can't we just drop the charade and give us our cosmetics?

Thanks!

Please note: No comment about balance, about mechanics, or about anything tough to do. Just remove the no-cosmetics flag and set the Ettenmoors to the same setting as all the other zones. This should be an easy one.

But like....if someone's running lotro on Atari it'll clog up their switchboards and probably kill their gerbils.

If limiting Freeps to Audacity armor is motivated by some sort of memory savings then wow...I really weep for the future of this game.

I find it kinda hard to believe the amount of rendering freeps in their "fighting" gear is significantly different from any other cosmetic gear option. Perhaps I'm wrong. But I'd be interested in hearing from a Dev if that is really the reason they deactivated cosmetics in the moors. Because it'd be really sad to hear.

lol

Seconded. THE most important issue with the moors right now is lack of freep cosmetics. Please spend some valuable dev time to fix this outrageous situation.

Initial update 7.1 notes are on BR

http://forums.lotro.com/showthread.p...JECT-TO-CHANGE

Monsterplay

• The spawn-in timer on the guards that surround the defeat locations has been lengthened to allow players that are killed just as a keep falls to not be killed again by unfriendly guards.
• Items - PvMP - The stats on the Gauntlets of Perseverance have been increased to match the other two sets.
• Due to the pickup in the economy, Ettenmoors vendors will once again be able to offer 10 potions for the same price! This offer affects Monster Player food, as well.

Maybe they'll get around to cosmetics in the Moors with Rohan and then will put work into actual pvmp combat the expansion after that.

INDIGNATION!!!!!!1!!

My freep can't wear a chicken cloak while I EZmode 5 creeps at once! This needs immediate attention! Devs! Hop to it!

I like this idea, Over wearing the bathrobe in the moors. Anybody ever notice its the same people over and over again whining on the forums about everything?

My only indignation is that I forgot to post the inb4 since I figured the usual babies would be in here. Can't even handle freeps getting cosmetics, reckon they'd have a heart-attack if you posted something like "fix sudden defense" lolol

The only thing that would actually spruce up Freepside is cosmetics. And higher ranked jewelry/cloaks but that'll never happen since they acknowledged they won't bother where higher ranks are concerned.

This is certainly the most important issue in the moors.

LOL thats exactly my thought! there is pure balance in the moors so lets add more lag in there

btw SKINS for creep models work WAY different than cosmetics...

You do know the reason that you can't wear cosmetic armor is so the Creeps have -some- idea of what kind of gear you're in, right?

While we may not recognize all the different armor types on sight, it prevents you from faking what armor you're wearing. Putting on the best you can find that's specific to the Moors, then wearing what looks like giveaway drop armor in the hopes that someone will recognize it and decide to attack because it looks like you're geared weakly enough that they can actually take you.

Creep skins aren't like armor. They don't change our stats, and traits have less of an effect than armor can.

Now . . . I'd much rather be able to wear my cool looking cosmetic armor out there when I'm on my Freep. But that's kind of a no big deal issue compared to everything else.

1) wow. If you guys are so bitter I really think the game would be better off I'd you just preordered GW now and left.

2) to reenable a function that did exist and dies current exist in every other zone shouldn't be anywhere near the effort that new PvMP mechanics and or balance would be.

3) I clearly stated that this was an EASY one trying to elicit some sort of Dev responce. They're clearly either a) writing off pvmp development as a loss and forgetting about it or b) working on an overhaul that they're currently unwilling to talk about. So I thought a simple request for something that would have ZERO impact to balance would be a nice place to start.

Sheesh. Did any if you play in the moors in SoA?? You act as if the current imbalance is worse than ever. Guess what? It's not.

I've *pre-purchased* GW2 and I still browse the forums because it entertains me. Threads like this, posters like you. Helps pass the time for half an hour or so.

Thanks for the negative rep......whoever gave it....

Why waste time on a zero impact function when there is more that needs to be fixed that actually HAS impact?
And according to your opening statement, who should leave, you or us? Grow up.

If it balances the game, then it is needed. Cosmetics should NOT be a top priority.
