Costume for shield?
Mon, 06/20/2011 - 15:03
The 'Cape Slot'
- will provide extra changes to how shield is shown in places like the Town Square/Bazaar.
- is only a Costume Slot, meaning no stats are added.
Basically, you will need to buy the slot [Like how Weapon and Trinket Slot]
This will
-remove the current image of the equipped shield off the back of your character (That's the shield you use in Depths)
-require you to equip another shield/cape
Why the name Cape Slot and not Shield Costume Slot?
It's because I love to see a cape on my back, like Thor, Superman, Old Cave Man Cape
but Shield Costume Slot is good if cape is not getting introduced.
How is this good to players?
- For those who don't want to see a shield on the back but worry that you'll enter a depth without a shield?
- For those who want to see a different shield other than the one that you use in dungeon but worry that you'll enter a depth with that shield?
This will solve your problem.
How is this good to the company?
- You will be able to create 'Cape' as Cape Costume, which means better looking characters and more customizable option.
- You can charge the cape slot, a sum of crowns for 7days?
- A suggestion for you all.
P.S. I love the Force Buckler
& Thanks Vlad for helping me with making this more understandable.

At a minimum, shields need to
At a minimum, shields need to be colored according to the player's chosen color, like weapons and armor. It would really cut down on mismatches.

I supported
I supported a lot of the similar threads think the "cape slot" or shield costume slot should be given to all players only because we want to show off our sxy shields we may not be using due to stats.

Definately support
Since I craft much in game and hang out at the AH buying and selling stuff, I use my noob outfit for costume. If I don't, I get trade clicked to death by newb beggars. Sometimes I forget to change to noob shield when I come back from a farming run. The shiny 5* shield betrays my noob costume. Sometimes I forget to switch from 1* noob shield to 5* shield when I go do a Tier 3 run. OPPS! Having a shield/cape costume slot would sure help with those noobish moments!

Great Idea!
I think this would be a great idea, that way if someone likes the way a low star shield like the Green Ward looks they can have it as a costume, but still be able to use a better shield.
I think I would have to disagree with the shield matching outfit thing though since some shields only look good in certain colors (i.e. Bristling Buckler line), or the color and name are linked (i.e. Green Ward, Scarlet Shield).

Hmm
Yea, the shields like Green Ward looks nice in green and yea it does match the name, maybe future costume can be color matching?
I was checking your gear outside the AH and noticed you weren't wearing a shield. Must be a shared trait among bombers, because I do that too! I actually prefer not displaying a shield unless it is something awesome like the Force Buckler. (I actually thought of making Force Bucklers standard issue for my guild, sort of like a sheriff's badge.)
Having a cosmetic slot on the character's back is an excellent idea. Shields and banners could fill the slot. Perhaps a white medkit with a red cross for people who often revive their teammates? A powerpack that matches the type of handgun you are carrying? Bamboo cage with lucky snipe friend? ATOMIC ROYAL JELLY capsule.
Anyway, I think Syor's suggestion has potential.
