I mean, I understand the worry about your game performance, but pac 3 is actually more demanding on your system. The new accessories and facial style will be optimized to have less impact on the frame rates, and there could be an option to disable these features in the settings if needed.

Im already getting 15 fps in D-block, if every d-class suddenly gains lush golden locks I am going to have 2 seconds per frame.

Just get Pac3, that way people can still turn it off if they need to save their frames,
(This is likely to be rejected as it would make the paid Pac3 subscription next to useless unless you wanted specific things)

I can see where you are coming from but remember that there is still Pac3. The reason the models are so bare bones is because there is this option and although it might seem greedy CN has to make money somehow. I'm not giving -support because it is a pretty decent suggestion, just wouldn't work for the network.

interesting - although the immediate reaction from others seems to be "just buy pac3," we all forget that there are multiple ways to approach a problem that each have their own ups and downs. additionally,

There are no significant negatives. Adding new customization options will only enhance the player experience.

the first immediate negative i notice is that as an alternative to pac3, this as currently written seeks to damage the existing financial model surrounding it.

my immediate interpretation of this idea was as something relating to vdonations, crates, and/or the item market, i.e. expanding that to be more than just weapon skins. the idea being that it would be a system where you could get various different wearables to apply to your character either as part of a donation package, something that you can get via crates or just off the item market.

i think it would provide an interesting alternative to pac3, revitalise the item economy and also may potentially be profitable for the network - provided that this feature could be implemented optimally in such a way that it is not as much of a performance issue as pac3; which in itself is a tall order. it's also a large part of what this hinges on for viability: if given the option and people pursue this instead of pac3, then that's less people using pac3, ergo improved performance. that being said, the current monetisation model for pac3 is very strong and any alternative provided would invariably weaken it, so i understand if NL would be hesitant to pursue that. additionally, these two things would likely not be mutually exclusive and may just make the problem worse.

it would ultimately come down to whether or not balancing out trying to combat the performance hit of pac3 usage, with the good income provided by pac3 subscriptions, is worth investigating. obviously this is an NL matter, but as the suggestion is asking for something that muscles in on pac3 territory anyway, i would argue that this whole thing was an NL matter from the outset.

i'm of the opinion that it has significant merit, if and only if it is possible to implement this in a way that is more optimal than pac3. and optimisation is hard. plus talking about working on core addons, at the time of writing, there only 2 people on staff that are able to do so, both of whom have myriad other tasks to tend to in their dealing with the network.
