    Honestly this is what I am awaiting or an easier way to purchase styles from opposite factions or roles

    Yeah I really feel like they should implement this, Plus they'd make a killing on replays if they did decide to do it

    Yeah I don't understand why this was put on hold as it doesn't affect gameplay except aesthetic aspect

    Style unlocking...just like Gear Unlocking was part of the many things proposed for 2016 that got pushed to 2017. If there were any word on that, you REALLY wouldn't have to ask...because unlike some minor changes, these are both big deals for people with alts. Nothing has been announced as of yet because they don't want a repeat of last year (announced in January only to eventually be pushed to the following year), on top of the fact that they only announce things when they're close to dropping. The lack of any word on either feature or any previews of Water (another favorite project to ask about) means it's gonna be a while before we hear or see anything.

    As for the why....quite simple really. They're working on the stats revamp...along with future content, possibly new events similar to the anniversary event, next month's seasonal (final touches before it hits test), and whatever else they're looking to drop on us in between (like the next time capsules). The people that would be working on style and gear unlocking are the ones working on everything else at the moment. I know, we (meaning I in particular) don't know every minutae of what they're doing at this very time...but we can all make some simple educated guesses based on what little we can see (stuff going on Test Server, knowing that St. Patrick's day seasonal comes next month in March, etc...), including all the various "where is _____" threads that are going unanswered by green names.

    I think they are waiting for psn to officialize the end of ps3 support to start doing these things ...:rolleyes:

    Its ending up like a lot of things that have been announced, either never happening or happens 1.5-2 years after the announcement. Tbh i dont even understand whats holding it up. Set a price of replays to unlock the styles. Include auras and materials and cross faction dlc styles. For real what is stopping this from happening? I know a lot of the focus is the stat revamp but the entire dev team cant be 100% focused on the stat revamp.

    This is why i personally do not like how announcements are done with this game. Things get announced for hype, to get people excited. And then a year later what was announced isnt in the game so there is a new thread every week asking where the feature is and when is it coming. And either there is no answer or we get "soon." The feature becomes an afterthought for many people, not all, and the excitement is gone. I know this is how ive felt when this happens, and i know a bunch of other players who feel the same. Its simple, dont announce something until ya know its 100% going on test. Cause announcing for the hype and excitement ends up having the opposite affect when it takes a year or longer to implement. The excitement leads to frustration and a bunch of questions.

    Everything they announced. Water, stats matter, etc. etc. took a back burner once they realized they could get chumps to pay $100 a month for a gambling box that MAY contain the style they want. What's stats matter or a $10 power compare to that for DB when it comes to making money?

    Also, and I can NOT stress this one enough...

    YOU DO NOT NEED TO CREATE A NEW THREAD EVERY OTHER DAY TO ASK ABOUT THIS! JUST BUMP UP AN EXISTING THREAD ON THIS TOPIC BY POSTING IN IT AGAIN!!!! :p

    I swear to Gord, if I see another new topic about this, I'm gonna start reporting 'em to the Admins/Moderators. Shaking My Damn Head. :mad:

    Yeah, I believe Style and Unlocking are both words, so in fact there are two words on style unlocking:D
  17. bmce84 Loyal Player

    They probably have those threads on ignore or something.

    My gut tells me we won't see style unlocking in 2017.
  19. bmce84 Loyal Player

    Same thing that kept them from adding the discount on AF 3 vendor gear, because they want to milk us for all we're worth, to then add a system that will probably have some ridiculous limitations like "doesn't apply to vendor gear already available in any style vendor" or "only applies to gear, not auras/material". We know every decision now comes down to how much money it can make and if it's something that could cut into the income, then a back up plan has to be put in place to ensure the money keeps coming, like the mentioned AF 3 vendor that doesn't include rings, neck, trinket, face and weapon. I wouldn't be surprised if the system didn't include TC styles either.

    There's a better chance of Ben Affleck directing any DC movie again than style unlocking coming out this year.
