Customisation And Growth

[BlueTooth]

Hello there

Basicaly This Post is to cover what ive read about on several sites thats hinting at armor Customisation Via Trophies through the Victory System and RVR and so on witch im sure every one here has already read up on.

What ive been thinking is that So far though there isn't a great deal of info to read up on regarding the Squig herder and it is regarded as one of the largly un-finished classes on a few forums because of the lack of info.

Anyway Getting to the point, so far there has been no mention of how you acctualy obtain squigs and only that if i recall i read some were that you don't actualy catch them. this upsets me a little due to my thirst for customisation and originality so i set to thinking what if trophies could be tacked onto squigs? stuff like collars and bracers for there ankles and tails and such that serve no stats+ bonus but just an appearance bonus to help further distinguish SH's From each other

The main thought behind this is at the moment though there is talk of a variety of squigs inevitably there is going to be a favourite ammongst most people and thus there will be the same squig following every herder so far there appears to be no variation on the same model to distinguish Herders.

Possibly when obtaining squigs there should be some option for hunting them in certain regions for a specific look or Specific markings to help distinguish Herders or if Squigs are obtaining through the Squig Pens Then Perhaps a Small Breeding Menu Or Something.

Maybe Im Thinking to much into this subject but i think alot of games miss the mark when it comes to customisation as in MMO's No one really wants to look like the person standing next to them and So Far WAR Seems to be Adressing this in alot of sences.

I think you are looking to deeply into this topic. I believe that due to the variety of squigs 1. there will be favorites that relate to talent tree and 2. that people will use them as disposable dps machines because in truth thats what they are. I too wish that you could catch them however, if they are not meant to live for ever i would rather have a pet that you summon.

Well, diffrent types of squigs will look diffrent, and they may very well change as you level up. As for customization, it has been suggested before that there could be a squig editor kind of window which would allow you to change the look of a specific type of squig or all of them at once. Wether or not Mythic has something like that in store for us remains to be seen.

On a side note, I would like to know who considers it to be one of the "unfinished" classes. First of all, The greenskin and dwarf classe were the first to be done, and second we have more info of that pairing, including the SH, more than the other two pairings combined.

Other Forums are Pointing at It Still Being Under Developed Mainly due to the lack of information regarding how the SH Fights Things such as capability and General Fighting Style Though its self explanatory

I think what people are pointing at is the Fact The Shaman Has a Waarghhh System the Chopper Builds Up Hate The Hammer Builds Momentum and So on, i believe this is something some forums are pointing at though i don't consider it an issue.

Also People are pointing fingers cause apparantly there are considerably less images of The SH even in comparison to the newer Content but i can't say ive really noticed il try and find some of the URL's to point out what i mean but i havn't posted elsewhere.

Regarding the Goblin Has anyone heard of any kind of growth or change in form?

Like Personaly I think it would be Quite Ammusing for Goblins Mental Health to deteriorate as you gained in strength so as you get stronger the goblins Movement becomes more erratic and you gain twitches and things Though a Physical change is Probably more Appropriate

would be neat if you could unlock things in your tomb of knowledge that allows you to customize the look of your squigs. the more you learn about squigs the more stuff u can change such as

skin color

markings, maybe your guild icon

adding trophies to your squigs like collars, bracer, tail spikes, and my personal fave a Gold Tooth :p

maybe lair rewards could include special looking squigs

as long as the customization dose not effect the balance of Squig herders i am all for customizing

I actually hope that they stay mostly silent about the SH. Let me explain, every time Mythic releases a new class...everyone decides they want to be that class. I think that if Mythic throws in a detailed report about SH befor release then people r gona be like "omg SH iz da best, i am rolling that". I dont know about you guys but i think i'de rather be part of the elite few. So maybe a few hints every now and then but i'de like it to stay pretty silent-what about you guys?

[Accipiter]

I'm hoping for the squig editor idea. It would be an easy way to make your SH to be distinct from all others. (Oh, damn the guy with the bright yellow squigs is back!)

Plus, different weirdly colored squigs jumping all around fits the crazy feel Greenskins should have.

There won't be many of us unless we are wildly overpowered. Most people will play humans or elves. None of the dwarf or greenskin classes need to worry about being too common.

I hope we stay small. It makes it easier to hide behind the Orcs or a nice rock.

dang, and for a second there i thought ide be the only one with a squig for my avatar...nice job accipiter.:mad:

can someone link the info on this cause i dont know where to look...

if there was an editor idea than i think it should be off to the side quests. It should not be easy...i think that there should be the "christmas quests" where it is just a randomly placed quest that makes you say "oh cool". the reward is something that is somewhat unique to customize your squig with.

[Accipiter]

Hah, well, check my join date. I was here with a squig avatar first. :p

[NewKid]

i was readin this stuff far befor i joined. that being said i'll give you credit for first squig avatar-i wonder if we are gona get more avatars in the future?

[Throwhemon]

ive heard (dont remeber where) that you can paint your squigs as you please.

This would be cool but I believe it is a rumor. Unless someone can support it with a link to an official source.

[NewKid]

i wouldn't just disregard it, Mythic has been working hard to make charecters as customizable as possible and for the SH, painting the squigs just seems so obviouse. That is, of course, if they decide to make the classes customizable

[Accipiter]

I hope it is true. I'm simply asking for a source.

Mythic could do something incredible here if they modeled squig herder after Creature Handler from SWG, since the class was removed from that game there has been a hole in online gaming, no game ever has had such a unique and diverse character as that. I'm sure there must be other SWG vets around who know what I'm talking about right?

[Infallius_Daemonium]

Until they 'changed' the game it was actually one of my favorite parts about it. Though the Squig Herder won't be able to have as much variety, being that his only creature is the Squig, despite how many 'versions' of it they seem to have.

[NewKid]

i'm hoping thatj just because the game comes out doesn't mean that Mythic just stops working on new customization material. What i mean is that i am hoping for more customizing in future patches/expansions

Changed is a bit of a weak word to describe the way they shredded the online lives of thousands of players, supposedly the total number of active players these days is 20,000, with subscribers totaling at just under 100,000...Quite a difference eh?

[rokema]

well, i hope the squig wil grow with lvl and be able to attach your guild symbol because, at greenskins Size means stronger so i think there should be some squig growth because otherwise you can't tell the difference
http://files.filefront.com/WAR+presentation+v2wmv/;7876050;/fileinfo.html in this vid at 3/4 part of it, the squig part comes in and paul says that they wil grow with lvl and you can name em, hope it's true:(

[nateness]

yea im sure there will be some sort of way you deck out your squig
