I've seen this requested before earlier in related threads to cosmetics and NX requests from 2016-2018, however there was discussion about abuse with item stacking and there was never really discussion from staff in these threads confirming if they were looking into it or declining the idea so I wanted to lay out my own ideas for implementation while also creating a central thread to gauge user interest and for discussion. Meet the item Transmog Changer UI. For a small fee of NX or even mesos, you can change one regular item to a cash item. (2000 NX was just what I put for the graphics). Devs would have a better idea on what to make the cost, however I think making it NX over mesos would be another boost to player voting. With the transmog, once the item is changed from regular to cash. ALL related stats are instantly deleted and the item merely becomes a skin. No WA, or +STR modifiers to stack with already existing equipment to break the game and would not change the meta. This would allow players who like the Black Baseball cap to wear it over their Zakum/Scarlion Helm as a cash item.Or if you have a better Scarlion helm, but prefer the zakum helm graphics to have that equipped on top instead. For my example I chose a hat to easily show the process. However for limitations I believe that weapons should only cover weapons of that exact same type. In example, [Frozen Tuna] is a beginner class only pole arm, but using it in the transmog would allow you to equip it over any pole-arm regardless of class. (Potentially even all 2H weapons?). I'd be interested to hear what the community thinks about gear for specific classes. I think it'd be neat if I was able to wear theif gear as a CS item on my warrior like the Red China Top (lvl 50 theif) because it looks cool. The only hesistation there might be is confusion of a players class, but that takes a double click to check anyways and also already applies to characters who already have full NX equiped.
I support that. That could make many new 'designs' as we will have A LOT more to work with. Although - it's important to realize it would also change the marketplace, as these items would cost mesos of course, unless you'd suggest making it untradeable. Also - wouldn't you be able to wear the same item twice? once in regular version and once in nx version? I suspect It might cause some trouble.
Yes I was asked this in the discord as well. I believe the go-to move would be to make them untradable to avoid any issues. Im not so sure as I don't know much about server back end. I don't see it being an issue if it works like a regular CS item? And also if you wanted to, you wouldn't need to equip 2 of the same item as you could equip it normally already.
I believe last time something like this was suggested, the answer was that the dev effort makes it not feasible to implement.
It might create problems for the dev's, I mean, as I'm pretty sure (don't take this as a 100%) they would need to code or add this item as an NX as well, since you wouldn't be able to make an X item NX if it's not in the database as an NX as well. I'd love, of course, being corrected by someone if its not the case.
