[Suggestion] Add a Transmogrification style system to Destiny.

[quote][b][u]What is Transmogrification[/u]?[/b] Transmogrification (Transmog) is a system used in Diablo 3: Reaper of Souls and World of Warcraft that allows characters in-game to change the appearance (but not the function) of their weapons and armor. It's a purely aesthetic device, akin to armor shaders but changing the graphic, not just the color. The transmog system is common in other RPGs, and the way it works in Diablo 3 is more or less directly taken from World of Warcraft.[/quote] I'm really enjoying Destiny thus far, but I have beaten almost all of the content available. Normally at this point in the game, now that my character is relatively strong, I would be working on improving how he looks. I've noticed now that as players begin to approach level 30, everyone is beginning to look the same. This is mainly because raid gear is required to hit level 30, so players have no option but to equip it. For me character customization is an important part of defining who your character is in Destiny and from the development ViDocs it seems Bungie intended for exotics to somewhat fill that role. At present I don't feel there are enough exotic pieces to really differentiate the players and some exotic items are proving far more popular than others. My suggestion would be to allow players to choose to customise the look of any items other than exotics. I feel a lot of the lower level armor models are wasted at present. Some examples of how I would use it: - I have a awesome looking Spirit of the Vulture bond from The Speaker but I feel compelled to wear the plain Dead Orbit bond as I have already hit rank 3 with the Vanguard. This would allow me to get the desired functionality from the Dead Orbit bond (+rep) but also look cool in the process. - I'm not a fan of the closed trench-coat style items as I feel they clip awkwardly in the sitting animation. I have a piece of armor in my vault that I refuse to wear because it looks like the this. I'm using a slightly less optimal piece of gear at the moment because it looks better. This system would eliminate that issue, I can look cool and be powerful. - There are some cool mid-game helms that have been modelled like the horned Tengu Operant that are wasted at present. This would give players reasons to go back and explore older content to try and get these items. Edit: Added tags

  • I second this and this is very high upon my wishlist. The Planet Destiny's latest POD cast touches on this subject and their suggestion is mindblowingly awesome. Not a exact quote but "what if they added some special piece of gear that can drop purely for cosmetic purpose" Similar like a shader can be applied you could use these "transmog specific" pieces to make your Guardian your own.
