Limit Reskin Items - Phoenix Freeshard

Currently there are players running around in full reskins. It doesn't even resemble DAOC, but looks like something out of WoW.

There are tanks running around with Gandalf hats also. It is getting really silly.

Players should probably be capped at 1-2 reskins and caster items shouldn't be available to tanks and vice versa. A lot of the TOA skins are pretty outrageous.

I know it is beta, and reskin items can be a good thing, but the visual integrity of the DAOC shouldn't be tamperd with.

The visual integrity of silhouettes (a tank should look like a tank and a caster like a caster) is one of the things that makes this game's PvP superior to games like WoW and it should be kept that way.

I like the reskins but the cross-realm reskinning is just ridiculous

I wholeheartedly agree. Chars should be limited to 1 reskin only. I hated it on uthgard 1.0 and i think it totally detracts from the classic vision

I for one love the reskin. I hate the bland pre-ToA item skins, so this adds a more personalized feeling over it.

It adds NO favour to you, and everyone have the option to use it. If you don't, you're still the same snowflake as everybody else.

Reskinning with no realm or class restrictions absolutely has an impact on gameplay in RvR.

i think it's fine as is, if you see a person with a wizard hat carrying a 2-hand weapon this should be an indication that the person is a tank of some kind, if not you will learn to pay attention to detail.

edit: people complaining people in full reskin suits, they didn't just suddenly get a free suit of reskinned gear, you earned it and this being just a cosmetic change i see no reason to limit it, in fact I'd like to see more skins added to the merchant

ppl should get only reskins available for their class like arms weapon only arms .....and no crossrealm..

But i disagree...i rly like the reskin option

Great Idea by the gms
