So the idea is quite simple but I want it to be well documented so everyone can see what do I mean.


Here you can see my astonishing tactical space marine but the thing goes through basically all classes. When you look from front, you see immedietely something is off. What is it?1233.jpg


Yep, his right pauldron is far more detailed and bigger than left one, it distrupts propotion a bit. And why is that? It is that way because to let everyone know that I am part of best Chapter there is - which are of course Salamanders (still best despite dissapointing Champion and no Chapter pack in space marine 2 game) I have to use low level, simple left pauldron. And as you can see it's still not perfect but when I use lvl 1 it looks just too bad. 


If I don't sacrifice proportion and choose some ornamanted version it is impossible to carry emblem of my Chapter with pride on the battlefield and so then there is no point to play the game. Why even bother.


Don't get me wrong, I love style and art of those high end cosmetic unlockables, so my solution would be simply: take out what's inside of the frame, leave the frame, and let us put Chapter heraldry in it. I think we can have 2 versions of same pauldron - one as it is now and 2nd one modified the way I described. 


I am too lazy to now wrestle with photoshop for an hour, so just use your imagination and imagine these pauldrons but with skull icons cut out of them, making space for emblems.dwwdwd.jpg


I think it would be perfect balance between being fashionable but also honoured by privilege of carrying Chapter emblem on the battlefield. 

Let me know what you think guys and if you support this idea, I can't be the only one who thinks about this.

That wouldn't be a bad thing.  Give more customization like that to players.  Some of them I thought were intentional like that though.  The assault for example can have the left pauldron be larger than the right.  When he holds the hammer for a 2h swing he puts the left more armored one forward.  Almost like holding a shield out front while the weapon arm comes around for the impact.

Thanks for your input Blobie, I was getting a bit depressed.

Thank you for your support Brothers. Even though this is not in IDEA section - because it's obviously dead - I hope Devs see this and at least consider making this change to the game somewhere in the future.:)

Brothers,

I created another idea, this time expansing Prestige Ranks mechanic, which I enjoyed a lot. 


If you too feel there is more that can be explored in it, please take 90 seconds of your time and check if my idea is what would you like to see in game. 

New prestige ranks, new perks, new rewards


It feels awkward and weird but visibility in Ideas section is not really good and I honestly think it's good idea. 

Thanks.
