GGG could make an equivalent for player models. Say you're playing a Scion and want to change the model (and voice lines) to that of a Templar. Use the MTX, choose what character model you want and there you go!

change it so you can buy something to apply a class onto yours, you start for example as a templar but can apply shadow MTX so you look like, sound like and are a shadow except the tree stuff.
I guess I can get behind that but not sure how hard that would be, it is just recycling the same stuff we have now, animations, sounds, ect......

There is absolutely no reason for GGG to not do this.
I suggested this long ago, and it has remained a relevant (and extremely easy to implement) potential addition to the game ever since.

Suggestion:
Create a MTX for each "Character" - Character = (Model + Story + Dialog + Voice).
Let's call this MTX "Cross-class Character: <insert class>"
Purchasing the MTX unlocks that "Character" for all classes permanently, account-wide.
Example:
1 - In the character creation screen - I highlight a Character - let's say the Short-haired Blonde (Ranger). The character comes forth and performs its animation while I hear/read its story - no change here.
2 - For each character I highlight, there are 2 outcomes:
a) if I did NOT purchase the MTX for this Character, the only Class I can play it with is the default (in this case, Ranger), so the Class is chosen automatically. and the others are greyed out.
b) if I DID purchase the MTX for this Character, I get to choose the Class I want to play it with. No class is greyed out.
The UI element for the Class choice would probably be on the TOP of the screen.
3 - I can choose the name for the character at any point - no change here.
4 - Once I start the game, I am essentially playing the Ranger Character (Model, voice, dialogs and story) but with the chosen Class (starting items, passive tree starting point, ascendancy classes and quest rewards).

Read properly and you'll realize that:
A - There are NO loose ends in this suggestion. No complications.
B - New Assets required: ZERO.
C - Coding/Resources required: Minimal.

This is actually one of the easiest ways for GGG to make a lot of money out of MTXs.

You may not care or understand, doesn't really matter. There are people that need to play this way, and if you don't do anything you will loose that part of the market.

The cost as an MTX would be prohibitive.

Seriously though? Quest texts are a lot of work? Use models for item placement and animations from other chars, problem solved. only thing you need is textures, which is nothing, and the voice over which would be expensive IF it wasn't near-nonexistent for the player characters.

Honestly I think they just prioritize more resources to something more important really.

Yep.


If he wants to single handly fund such an MTX then he can claim its "easy" they have said in the past its not and requires a significant amount of time, resources and energy to do. If they put a number cost associated with it and told it to him, we would say you know what nevermind....
