“Iconic Personalities (aka Downloadable Modular Personalities)

this is an old post of mine from summer 2012 but i've fleshed it out further since then.

the short version is; i'd like to see a personalities section added to the style menu to manage purchased personalities. in addition to that i'd like to see new personalities made based on our favourite iconic characters which we can then use with our original characters.

for more details, keep reading.

Goals for the Request

add more variety and customization options for characters

add more immersion options

add another source of non-gameplay effecting revenue to the marketplace

add a system to use and manage purchased personalities (currently you must pay $10 every time you want to switch your personality even if you're switching back to one you've paid for already -- you pay twice!).

character animation sets (aka personalities) can be really really labour intensive. a typical character animation set has hundreds of animation segments for different game functions. typically animation segments can take anywhere from 15mins - hours to perfect and get just right. however, replacing a few key animation segments can be done very easily with minimal effort and can really add depth, communicate personality and individuality to a character. replacing the suggested segments below can be done in about 5-15mins per animation segment very easily!

ie:

idle -- the animation played while your character is standing around

melee idle -- the animation played while your character is standing around with enemies in range

hover -- the animation played while stationary with flight on.

fly -- the animation played while your character is moving with flight on.

if these animation sets were inspired by iconic characters they could be lucrative mini transactions at $2.50 - $5.00 each. i imagined the sets could look something this (actually i created a set for each of the 3 main existing personalities just to demonstrate how much different it could look on your character in game):

man of steel

world's greatest detective

amazon princess

i did a mockup to illustrate how the personalities manager could integrate into the style menu UI and it could look something like this:

thanks for reading!”

I miss the old models too. I don't think they needed model updates as much as they needed updated skins.
