Cool

Well, is a good idea, an "Armoured" medic sounds cool, only left a Minigun. Anyway YOU MUST KEEP IT SIMPLE...

When this goes through you can get more ammo in two places, in weapon customization and clothing too. It's too much.

+1

In the screenshots we can see TOO MANY "Accesory slots" 8 in total is way too much... for example, 2 slots to uniform is enough+ 1 per accesory means 4 personaliced effects on your soldier, more than that whould be "OP" and/or unbalanced combined with boosters/attachments/gadgets...

I'll try to adress some of your concerns regarding the slots and inserts here

Pricing

Slots and inserts will be available for Credits and Funds. There will be the option to unlock early as well. And you never know, items such as these may appear in the Daily Draw and supply drops as well.

Unlocking

Items and slots are unlocked by level. Inserts work like other items. Slots however are slightly different. All slots for a certain category and slot number are unlocked at once, even though you purchase individual slots for specific apparel items.

For example, say that the 2nd slot for uniforms is unlocked at level 10. You reach level 10, and then you can buy a 2nd slot for any uniform item you own permanently. The 3rd slot for uniforms remains locked until level 20 however.

Any slot you purchase is purchased for a specific apparel item, so if you unlock a 2nd tier slot early, you will only unlock it for that item.

Boosters

Insert effects may stack with each other, but won't stack with boosters. If you have an active booster, you will not be able to purchase or equip an insert with a similar effect.

Apparel items you own

Any apparel items you own will get correct amount of default slots, so there is no need to purchase the items again. The default uniform will get one slot, but you can't buy more slots for it.

[CriscoSpectrum]

So you have to buy slots per apparel item? Isn't that wildly expensive for those with a lot of apparel?

We'll live, we'll see I like the part with boosters. Anyway, it will have "booster" label still, so many priv servers will ban such players (thanks god). I hope you guys have NEW ideas for those slots excluding boosters we already have regards

[Red-Shot]

default uniform with 1 slot also includes closed beta uniform?
if so i can maybe buy the engineer set. Was doubting to buy or not to buy it for some time now. (600 bf for 4 items)

[Healin4ev3r]

So it's really happening? They should change the name of the game to Mass Effect Play4Free then

And will "inserts" be able to buy perm with credit? After all players paid fund for apparel stuffs, inserts shouldn't be fund-for-perm-only.

Good joke.

[shadowave]

It will be tested on PTE?

[PMingVB]

Default uniforms only with 1 slot? Sounds a lot like Pay2Win for me...

It all sounds much better now, but I still don't appreciate the idea. At all, in a matter of fact.

[Strac.CRO]

I don't like it, we already have boosters and training skill. This "Clothing inserts" will create too much unbalance.

[xWintersunx]

Bad bad idea....

[Kuziz]

I have a baaaad feeling about this.

yeah of course its happening, a new way to charge us more money? hell yeah prioritise that beyach above all else, and sod the kerzillion bug fixes and promises of feature requests dating back to when noah beached the ark, they dont matter, we dont matter, as long as they can charge us more money.

[Red-Shot]

on the other hand
if you pay money once for a full soldier, you ll have it even easier powning noobs, since i think less than 10% of all soldiers will have this maximized.

[0utburst]

Now I regret having 4 characters on a F2P game just like the MMORPG I played before this one. Next time, I'll just create a maximum of two. F2P games can be very very expensive the more you have more characters.

On Topic: I thought inserts can be shared so that we could choose whatever apparel we want without sacrificing the look we want to have? So we would have to buy for each?

[pay43]

I am confused. So you buy apparel, then you buy slots and then you buy inserts for those slots? I thought that each apparel item has a certain ammount of slots?

[Agusylucho01]

all for money, im gonna be poor
