IDEAS FOR RYZOM

I agree that extension to new skins would be great. It's ok to start using skins existing but not yet in use by the actual game. I would hate to see any homin on Atys but the rulers wear the rulers' weaponry - nor armoury for that matter. A game should have unique things. Things we homins can only dream about. It's this and all the arguments brought fourth so far by various people.

I see a consensus here on the original and various side-proposals as long as Virg drops the notion that we must make the rulers' weapons available to other homins.

The reason for my choice of design wasn't because I was lazy or uncreative. The reason is that they are the skins that I see that we currently don't have access to. I have no idea what skins the devs have or haven't made. I picked the skins because they have already been made which means making them available to us would be a hell of a lot easier than making up new designs. I know ryzom doesn't currently have any graphics designers employed (or at least didn't a few months back) so I chose items they have already made because I look at my ideas realistically. I could make up 1000s of good ideas that would never see the light of day (or take 6 years to do).

If there are other skins just as readily available then I'm fine with that. I just want whatever has the best chance of getting done quickly. If new skins would be faster/same speed to implement and would make others happier then sure go for it! I'd be up for the "uber" racial armour designs but aren't they also the leaders ensigns?

I was hoping that these new items wouldn't come cheaply. I'm talking about a lot of effort to get the reward just like the PvP items. My pei LA is down to 40hp now and i still don't have enough points for the q250 skirt :P (okay i did buy a lot of cheap stuff and my points weren't working for a lot of the time but you get the idea). I do see missions as carrying out specific tasks for the good of the nation and that is why I tied in the idea of missions giving civ points not just hand-ins.
