so i noticed in DSA the fighters guild champion has a giant standard on his back. so i thought would it not be awesome if players could get something similar?
granted a standard for a light armour wearing mage would be over the top and the champion was wearing heavy armour, it suited quite well. being in the vanguard you would want to make an entrance clad in heavy armour, but mages normally stick to the rearguard, so i thought maybe a mantle of sorts or perhaps a draping cloak addorned with gold trimmings and complex patterns would be much more suitable. alas! we wouldnt want to leave the medium armour wearers out, so perhaps a half cloak (covering the opposite shoulder to monster shoulder set)? made of a leather of sorts, adorned with trophies atop its crest (skulls or bones or pieces of its victims).
then i though would it not be even kewler if the intricacy of said cosmetic adornments have ranks and become more and more grand as it ranked up (possibley through pvp) and would it not be kewler if pve (or achievements) could unlock different trinkets to showoff ones achievments?
the base colour (if implemented) i believe should be alliance locked (red for EP, yellow for AD, and blue for DC) however, as one ranks up his/her/its (lets call it calibre?) the intensity of the colour grows, and possibley morphs into a chameleon colour of sorts? (ie. red/orange/gold for a grand marshall EP, or a blue/cyan/silver for a grandmarshall DC or yellow/green/bronze for ad)
it wouldd also be nice if the style of said character's "calibre" was locked to its race, therefore even if one is clad in armour, or wearing a costume, or a disguise, their pvp rank (thus hopefully their expirience as a combatant) their skill (hopefully through the trophy adorned) and race+alliance (through both colour and style of the calibre) would clearly be visible.
wether or not this idea of mine for such a thing would have any passive/active bonusses is debatable as i dont want to destroy the balance of combat (specially in pvp) however cosmetically, armies (even mercenaries) have been known to be sporting cloaks/standards/flags, so as a representative of an alliance, who has been given treasure and title through pvp, why should i not be able to display my achievments through a lavish standard?
as a final note, as this came to me after, which of the calibres your avatar clads himself in, in my opinion should be determined by which armour group you clad your avatar in mostly. if you for some reason decide to wear 3 light 3 medium 1 heavy (for some bizarre reason) then i guess somehow a choice should be given to players before its assigned. but as ones race and alliance is unlocked it should make it easier in terms of implementation to limit a players choice to either having a fabric long cloak, leather half cloak or a standard?
so... yeah thats my idea. i went maybe into a lil too much detail but... thoughts? would you like to see something of the sorts in game? any additions youd have? or things youd take out?
