Social slot

[Mr.Bando]

We got captain item slots. gunner item slots, engineering item slots.

I propose a new slot

SOCIAL SLOT

For your fun and non combat needs. Every class should have one

-You can load fireworks into your gun and it shoots out fireworks. Different effects depending on gun loaded
-Shoot out a mine like projectile that detonates and transforms into a pink balloon shaped as a pig

Any fancy ideas welcomed.

While fun, I'd prefer to avoid things that can be used to troll your team (loading fireworks instead of actual useful ammunition) or potentially disrupt gameplay (adding non-combat visual elements to the battlefield, such as the suggested balloon).

I am, however, all for social/cosmetic items that don't have a great effect outside the crew itself. You could have a Social/Interaction slot that could be filled with the following actions (for example):

• Saluting
• Bowing/Curtsying
• Pulling out a flask and taking a swig
• Period & theme appropriate dances
• ...and so on.

Such a thing wouldn't detract from the actual gameplay, but it would be a fun addition.

Of course, I'd rather see *all* of these added with a /command based system in place, but...

Either way, it would be fun. A lot of work for relatively little gain (and a distraction from Adventure Mode and PvP Mode Balancing) though...

Like the above I don't necessarily agree with items that can be used to troll.. but the "social/cosmetic items that don't have a great effect outside the crew itself" bit is what I was expecting.

Perhaps they could add items for a social slot that are earned from various things.. And what one is equipped decides what your after game animation is.. (things like a dance, reading a book, looking at a map, "responsible" drinking etc.)

Just to add a bit more.. personal touch to those after game animations..


Perhaps a cosmetic item could be equipped that changes how some item looks.. Like if a certain item is equipped your mallet will look different then usual.. (while not entirely interesting... a thought)..

But as said these would just be "fun" additions that don't add anything useful... But sometimes those things help make a game better..

muse actually wanted to make the hwacha fire pretty fireworks, but decided not to as the clouds already drops peoples fps

Heh, I was thinking of kind of the same thing. For costumes with swords or guns, people will have the ability to pull out the sword/gun and swing it around and make noise for cosmetic effect. Good thing is, the gun/sword costumes are level 15 rewards XD (except for skyraider costume) so; 1: only top players will usually have the only access to it, 2: an extra treat for those who worked hard in getting to level 15 or funded co-op.
