Will the ToA reskins and other Cosmetics Return?

Is there any plan to reintroduce the ToA Artifact Reskins and add more reskins to the vendors?

I know this was controversial and they seemed too easily attainable before.

I was wondering what the plans are for live and if perhaps a different currency will be used to purchase them. These cosmetics seems like they could be highly useful to incentivize content.

I certainly hope not.

Hopefully not.

Selfishly, I would love to see the Aten skin return.

To the broader question, I do feel that seemingly small things like armor and weapon skins provide a good additional incentive to play and accumulate the currencies needed to purchase said skins (BPs and feathers). Hopefully, the devs can strike a balance that entices the maximum number of fashion-addicted players that want cool skins and effects, while offending the minimum number of traditional players that despise anything associated with TOA.

Better not, ever.

Oh man those look awful. What I miss most are the roleplaying items from the Live server. There are npcs in the capital city that sell them. I think they are here on Phoenix but they aren't coded. For instance if you "use" the mead or wine, it's supposed to produce an emote message similar to "You take a drink from the draught and feel wobbly." It added another level to role-playing. Not that that will be big here.

We reworked the reskins merchants some time ago. All champion weapon skins and some toa skins got removed. There are some weapons, chests and cloaks with toa skin available atm and a full set of Volcanus Reskin. Maybe we are going to add a full set from Oceanus and Aerus aswell. But we are not 100% sure yet.

For now Champion Reskins will not be available on the merchants again, but maybe we will add them as an event-reward at some later point. In general, dont expect any further adds on the reskin merchant.

I hope role-play elements are big here! DAoC can cater to such a wide cross-section of gamers that it would be a real shame if the role-players and realm-war crowd got left behind.

Id like to see the TOA spears make a return!

For anyone saying no to any ToA skins, i think youre trying to relive too much of the classic feel. Reskins are just another incentive for ppl to play, giving something more to grind for. Every game thrives on cosmetics, why not continue to do it here.

I'm ok with reskins which fit to the characters if it takes like 1 year for a medicore player to obtain.
Sounds much but in the end its a long run to rr11 and I dont want to play on a clown server.

I think its fine we have them, but they should takes months to get.

I agree. However, I would rather it be class specific champion weapons, ie no fire wizard champ staff on sorcs etc. And just keep it at old ToA/Champion weapons stuff. Never heard of one person who disagreed with having those or didn't like them. It was just a select few who didn't like all crazy glowie/halo options.

Ardri I agree 100%. The Champion weapon reskins should return. They should be class locked and should be a lengthy grind to attain. I don't see the issue with classes here having their own Champion weapons.
