    Default Warforge Cosmetics! Suggestion Thread

    As you may know, WF are currently not receiving the cosmetic enhancements that the other player races get to waste TP on.

    Different Body looks, like the way armor chanfes when you add a new Docent. I actually took a second +5 Docent as end of quest loot over another Loot Item only because I was sick of looking like a Turtle walking upright.

    Also More Spikes! And I never like any of the cranium detail looks.

    Shoulder-mounted rocket launchers! Also knee-mounted...Cosmetic only, of course.

    Rust patches/dents for those who prefer a more rough-and-tumble look.

    Shinier body parts for girlymachine WF who have time to primp/grease themselves.

    New skins for body parts (arms, legs, torso, head). This could give a much more unique feel to a WF. I would not like to see matching "sets," as this would just result in less creativity as players just picked every piece of a set. Instead I'd prefer a number of skins that looked as if the WF's creator, or even the WF itself, had made modifications to better perform its task. Players would be limited to choosing a skin based on their class (e.g. a fighter could not choose a torso piece with veins of magic pulsing along, as clearly only an arcane WF would be modified in such a way).

    Maybe a little sign that says "I have a soul" or something. You know. Just to quiet them down and help them fit in.

    Cool ideas.

    I'd like to see some WF hairstyles/Head accessories.

    - A liberty spike would look good on a WF
    - Also when you create a WF monk, it shows the monk with a monk outfit, it's a shame that isn't an option after creation.

    Yes, It would be cool to mis/match, I think an organic steampunk look would be really cool.

    Not serious:
    Reverse jointed legs - just so I can shout "It's got chicken legs!" in an attempted Gir voice.
    Alternate sound packages so we make noises like R2D2.

    More serious:
    Armor/Wood* Dye - Just like the hair dye, but lets us have access to a wider variety of colors for our underlying 'forged.
    Light up eyeballs - I'm thinking something along the lines of the way a stealthed tiefling looks when the spot skill works. The eyes really stand out. Maybe give us pulsing or multicolor shift options. City of Heroes style "flaming" option for raged barbarians.

    Requires new skins:
    Fembots. For crying out loud, you want to demoralize the enemy more than sending a pile of near-unstoppable killing machines? Shape 'em like ladies, so they just got their butts whupped by a bunch of girls**. Would also give us some reason to differentiate between the male and female options in character design beyond what flavor of grunt we get when we're hit.

    *Used to reference the non metal plate portions of the WF models. I assume that's the livewood bits.
    **No offense to our many fine female players, and in no way meant to imply that I do not find women physically intimidating....that didn't come out right.

    I would love to see the ability to adjust the colors, perhaps piece by piece, maybe even editing textures between wood, metal etc.

    Yeah, pretty cool.

    Fembots. For crying out loud, you want to demoralize the enemy more than sending a pile of near-unstoppable killing machines? Shape 'em like ladies, so they just got their butts whupped by a bunch of girls**. Would also give us some reason to differentiate between the male and female options in character design beyond what flavor of grunt we get when we're hit. I'd like to see this make it into game also, though I would hope it would be something to buy or earn, since in Eberron, female bodied WF were rare (I think, not 100%)

    *Used to reference the non metal plate portions of the WF models. I assume that's the livewood bits.
    **No offense to our many fine female players, and in no way meant to imply that I do not find women physically intimidating....that didn't come out right.
    Good Ideas.

    Spikes.

    Everything can be made better with spikes.

    Full plate? Spiked full plate! Heavy shield? Spiked heavy shield! Toilet paper? Spiked toilet paper!


    They are to beauty what hammers are to fixing thing.

    i like the i have a soul sign that would be great, maybe have more then 1 sign like i feel things, will not eat you
    also like the female body so we can tell a slight differance
    i like the arcane lighting up parts, but what would you give a fighter if you restricted it to casters?
    and i agree with more spikes, more horns, even jsut studs shooting out would be cool
    a guildie and i were talking on this subject just the other day, and why not at the least be able to redo the facial options? its the closest we have to hair. maybe release more of them.
    i think it would be funny to get fake beards that obviosly looked fake maybe a visible string, and a toupe the same way. not that we are tryign to make them look human/elf but that they themselves are trying to more express that they are alive. somthign odd like rat hide beard with kobold skin hair in the descriptions lol though personally my barb would wear those things too cause i imagine him to be alittle less then hygenic

    A fresh set of Docent designs.
    Removal of Pink from the docent color options.
    Body-Bling (gold/silver accenting on facial features - shoulder-spikes for all body types - implanting gems - etc)
    Body Dye along the same lines as Hair Dye
    More Eye Color options
    More Cranium design options.

    Docents that glow and blink (and possibly change eye color when slotted).
    > Varying colors based on status of the warforged, like one that flashes green normally and changes to a red ring when the host is incapacitated

    Battlefists - Just cosmetic, but it would make WF monks look a hell of a lot more imposing. Makes your hands huge and spiky.

    Kill markings scratched into body armor plates.

    Runes. Squiggly arcane ones that shimmer for the casters, and carved/forged metallic ones for the fighty types.

    Back-mounted trophy racks (skulls on the trophy rack change to reflect the race of the end boss in the last 5 dungeons you've done).

    Yea, some new docent skins would be great.
    I think a few more options for the 2nd body color would be nice other than dark grey and tan, or whatever they are.

    My FvS would fit his motif much better with a Terminator look: Exposed skeleton, glowing (not just dimly lit) red eyes, chrome skin...

    That's IT!! CHROME WARFORGED!

    Fly skill anyone?

    We could also have "Gimp My Warforged" and see what Ghoste thinks.
    I don't have a zerging problem.

    I'm zerging. That's YOUR problem.

    I think it would be pretty cool to have a WF docent skin that was made of actual bone, I think that would fit the flavor of Ebberon very well.

    how about an actual female model so I stop accidentely rolling a female WF because its the default selection...a warforged with a female voice just sounds wrong...or just remove the option
