I'd totally give GK long hair and a skirt, and a D&G murse. That stance would be even more epic!

I'd love to take off his shoulder armor so he will be from this:

How about the option to give us the ability to modify character skins via a Character Shop? Using AP or another form of payment, but crystals as only for the most unique, hard-to-get attire. This would certainly appease many of the masses in regards to character "dullness".

Thoughts?

I'm sure, like most other games, there will be a "uniform" tab. In this tab you spend crystals to change the skin your toon is wearing and the new skin will give significant stat boosts. I've played many games that have this mechanic in it. Marvel Future Fight is the first that comes to mind.

That's certainly a nice design! I'm gonna quote you in my original post. Very similar to DCUO.

Yeah, it's pretty cool. As an example you have your regular Thor. You get the skin "uniform" for the movie version Thor. It changes his appearance and it gives you some stat boosts as well.

The only issue would be actually having alternate versions of characters to skin. Leia would be easy, any version of lightsaber luke would be easy, etc. But there's some toons that this would be difficult with. I'm sure they would find a way though. As in most of the other games, the skins cost premium currency so it would be another revenue stream for them.

On a side note, I'd like to see them implement mod "reforging". Basically combine mods and hope that you get the stats you want. Combine 5 grey mods for 1 green, 5 greens for a blue, etc. This can cost credits, but you can use crystals and select one stat that it will definitely change to. This also resets the mod to level one. So if all you go after is gold mods with speed secondaries, you still have to level the mod and there's no guarantee that the speed will go up. This is something that is available in other games with gear. Combine gear pieces for better gear pieces, and also use gear pieces as "currency" for reforging along with crystals/credits.

I like the idea of skins but I dont think they should give stat boosts.

Started a post with this exact same premise, but it got moved to raid feedback?!?
Anywho, the highlights of that thread
- Clone helmets (duh)
- Slave Leia
- Potential faction change (Finn gets First Order Stormtrooper skin w/bloody helmet and faction changes from Resistance to First Order)
- Reduces character redundancy (Stormtrooper Han and Regular Han: We have farmer Luke, and if they add Bespin Luke, they'll probably also add Jedi Luke and/or Old Luke)
- Overall uniqueness (you can run the same team as 20 other people in your shard and maintain a sense of individuality)

And it shouldn't be too difficult. There are plenty of apps, many with much lower budgets that accomplish cosmetic changes with ease.

There must be tiers for uniqueness:
10$+ beggar tier
50+ Honest worker tier
500+ Business owner tier
1000+ Adult entertainers tier
10k$+ new animations &&& Enthusiast tier
100k$+ voiceovers &&& deaf tier
1m$+ it comes out and blows a whistle &&& i could buy your girlfriend tier

Per characters prices
