New Idea for Vanity Items: Special Effect Vanities

[Reflexivity]

In addition to the helm and armor vanity item slots, I would really love to have a new category: special effect vanity items!

This category would add a particular effect to your character regardless of what armor you are wearing. For example, how the leprechaun amulet adds the sparkling four leaf clovers aura. This would allow players to mix and match their armor with various special effects, further promoting the customization of their character, if only a little.

Special effect vanity items I would like to see are a crackling electricity aura (similar to how it looks when you hit Talon's arcane ability), a dark wind aura (similar to that of the agile lifethief daggers or the gloom hunter bow), a whirlpool/hovering water droplets aura effect, and a burning/steam/ember aura for the pyromaniacs out there XD

Again, these special effects would not be embedded in the armor the player wears, but would instead be a separate slot in itself.

Please consider this idea, devs! I'm sure a lot of players would be willing to spend more plat on various ways to customize their character and imbue them with a cool aura!

Looks cool

I like +1

(maybe the hearts vanity could also be moved to this "aura" slot instead of banner)

Nice idea!

I love this idea devs please make happen! Every player loves to custom their toons even more !

[karrdath]

I can see it more as a special effect stone tho. And it has its own slot. And these stones can drop all through out alor or even some bought with plat. I like the idea of being able to be bought with plat and br found as loot because it gives players more to do. The coolest effects should be found as drops tho!! Which will make people spend more plat on exlirs to get devs

Everyone reply like crazy to this post so devs consider!

That's a great suggestion as well, karrdath! Being able to find these effects as loot , in addition to being plat purchases, would give players more things to strive for.

Another possibility is making it so that those coolest effects could only be obtained via party-only quests, thus fostering unity and teamwork all throughout the game. Hopefully it will bring the community a little closer together. Players will actually want to party and work together to be able to fulfill these quests, and there's an incentive to it as well! Positive reinforcement, anyone?

You said it, hakoom! It's a win-win for everyone; more money for the devs when we spend plat, and more cool items for us, haha.

Hey Soundless, in what way would it seem difficult to implement?

The game used to have no vanity items at all, and the devs created slots of vanity helms and armor, and created a bunch of vanity items to insert into those slots. All they would really have to do is create one extra slot for new special effect/aura items to go into.

C'mon devs, you can make it happen, right?

Nice idea, kilian! That vanity effect could be called... "Double Rainbow All the Way Across the Sky!"

Hahaha! But really, I would seriously love that name for it!

[Zanpakuto]

I would go straight for any blue aura around my toon either smoke, fire, or energy! I'm still hoping that we get some really demonic Halloween vanities this year! Zombie, vamp, ghost, space legends suits! Haha

Haha I have no idea I'm 101% with you on this, but if it's so hard to remove PvP names, wouldn't this be hard to...? o.o

Love this idea. +1, keep the thread up! up! up!

[karrdath]

Everyone tell your guild and friends about this post! To come comment on it! If you want this to happen we all need to come together!

I would actually love to see this as more of additional proc slot with some visible effects.

Kind of like a Fire Crystal with an additional "Ignite" proc that some of the weapons already have and grants a fire halo effect, or an Ice Crystal with snowflake effect that adds +Armor, or Mana Crystal that adds +Mana Regen with some other sort of effect.

Personally, while I like the effects, I would also like them to do something a little bit useful (unlike banners).
