How to make everyone happy while keeping universal heirlooms
We currently have the option to get a Sword as a universal heirloom , many know it was originally going to be newcastles one.( we r not getting legend specific heirlooms because universals sell more)
What if we could buy a 4th variant . There are currently 3 colors people can buy, what if there was a 4 th option, it costs a bit more in terms of exotic shards but it includes slightly changes visuals and colors to make the sword really look like newcastle s heirloom and lore specific animations for him .
universal heirloom have to look more generic to fit any legend , while the old legend specific heirlooms look tailored for the legend and they would look completely wrong in other hands. Using this 4 th option would not only keep universal heirlooms as thy are but also give hardcore fans the option to get a legend specific heirloom for a legend that hasn t gotten one.
The fact it costs a few more exotic shards could also alleviate the extra work of making the model slightly different , to make it fit the original legend more and adding the 4-6 animations for the legend .
This would be a win-win.
Everyone gets their cake, normal players get to buy 1 universal that they use for every legend and a color variant while hardcore fans can get a heirloom for their main if they choose so.
To finish my collection of heirlooms I still need the Ballistic , Conduit and Alter ones . using this technique would make such a thing possible, I don t mind paying X amount of extra exotic shards for their legend specific versions.
And I m sure that the venture , mad maggie , catalyst mains would be happy too.
I hope that some dev can see this idea and pitch it to some boss.
There s more money to be made and everyone gets what they ask for .
Thanks for reading all this
