Costumes bound to character.

an example: i got around 10 "extra gore" mtx.

sure, some of them were from times where, after unequipping, you couldn't find your gore mtx in the masses of mtx pages in ggg's first and abysmally simple mtx overview.

but i also got some after that becasue i'm too lazy to reequip them all the time.

with your idea i ever would have needed 1 mtx.

so while this mtx is pretty cheap, how is it with more expensive mtx?

given the case you got a character with a nice mtx combination already and while dressing up a second char you would need a piece of the first setup.

mtx being applied once makes you think about buying a second mtx cause you don't want to destroy the first chars' setup.


having an mtx apply to multiple characters would make them losing money.

Personally I'd never buy a copy of an mtx that cant be used at the same time on the same character, There is no logic for me in that, And sure it would be nice to be able to just equip them on all my characters and never have to bother with swapping it out again, People such as the above post have already purchased several for this reason so /shrug its a little too late now sadly, It's not a major inconvenience and it would make people who spent their money for this reason feel pretty cheated i would think.

So yeah i don't agree with the design but a day late and a dollar short to do anything about it, Or in this case literally years and potentially hundreds of dollars for some users.

one point to consider is "free mtx" they throw after players for just playing their game.

when judging some tech it's always worth looking at extreme examples: take one guy who played all leagues and got a fugly mtx collection for free and a guy having spent 1k$ ++ on the game getting 35 mtx combinations.

when it comes to decorating characters, the only difference now is that the freebie has to do 30 clicks to reapply all mtx while the supporter can play any char without any clicks.

if mtx were globally usable, there wouldn't be any difference at all.

and on this example, you can see that ggg would have been better off if they had mtx bound to the character on equip and/ charge players a small fee to enable them to switch mtx to other chars (and be ale to try out mtx combos in your hideout without binding them).

mtx could be much cheaper, free mtx wouldn't damage the purchase of mtx cause you can only once wear previously won mtx in the next league.

from the game's point of view it's deadly to let players use free mtx freely, performance in towns and in parties are negagively affected and looking at towns makes your eyes bleed.

additionally, having mtx is nothing special anymore if everybody is a fckn christmas tree with wings.

which is especially bad since ggg changed the incentive for buying their mtx from "hey, you supported te game you loved, we let you show it to others" to "spend money to look good and rich".

well, nobody can see it nowadays. the most reputational stuff is those mtx which aren't available anymore and alternative art from old races.

I'm confused why there is opposition to this suggestion. Did I miss something?

You can only play one character at a time so OP is simply suggesting taking out the busy work of swapping cosmetics when you switch characters. Personally never came up much for me cuz I'll go full on with one till the build is done then switch so usually 2-3 weeks between characters.

I don't think it's a marketing strategy though. If it is then it's a poor one since it doesn't work. Probably just clunky design.

I'm personally 100% for the idea except for one instance, Those who have purchased multiple versions of MTX to get around it, It is unfair to them.

GGG could refund this and generally i don't think it would be that big of a deal but some at GGG might see this as a huge profit loss, And to some extent it would be as those users would then buy MTX they want and then never actually buy them with new money.

At the same time, Those users already contributed that money so it kind of kicks the above argument in the teeth.

If the related MTX are refunded and this feature is added it would only make users happy, The only people who might have anything against it would then be GGG themselves.
