We all know how much the ‘social’ aspect of AO is a big part of the game. I have never seen a game with such social development within its community by the players, such as gird stream and common player socializing. The creators of the game did a great job in adding to this awesome social phenomenon with exotic clubs and many diverse social gears. I for one took advantage of this atmosphere and party it out with my friends and the community of AO often.
But there is a little problem that hinders a lot of the player from fully utilizing the social aspects of AO. As a 220 Eng, I can’t afford to take off my pistols to hold a drink in my hands instead ><, if I unequipped my guns every time I went to a social meeting, I would have to spend most of my time in AO twinking my guns back in my hand. I feel bad when I swing my guns at the people around me in the dance floor, pointing a gun in my clients face (I’m a trade skiller) when we are discussing about the job offers, or attending the party in armor instead of a suit.
I’m not suggesting taking OE off the game, there is no way in hell FC would do that, and twinking is such a great part of AO. I was thinking what if other than the armor/ weapons / implants slots in the game, adding a ‘social’ slot for the players. This slot would include head /chest /legs /arm /hands /feet /pads /hud /util for armor and left hand / right hand for weapons. And allow the players to switch back and forth from social mode to regular mode where the appearance of the player changes to the social slot items from their regular looks.
I though of two different cases that would make this new ‘social slot’ a problem in game.
First problem would be, through the additional gear that the players can wear, ppl could add more stats, to them selves. For example, having a CC armor in both social and armor slot would double the stats on top of the original stats players would have. Or having 4 int pistols in all social and weapons slots and boosting more int than you normally can. The solution for such game balance breaking tragedy from happening is to disallow any of the stats that the items on the ‘social slot’ affect the player’s stats. This way, players may have additional gears on, but not get any benefits from the social slot items stat wise.
Second problem this social slot might bring is, people disguising themselves in pvp situations. To prevent this, FC can disable ppl from entering BS in social mode, or land control zones; and disable players from attacking social mode. I do not like the idea of simply disallowing players from casting nanos, or losing the stats that their regular mode items give them since in many social situations, ppl still need to buff others, or in my case, tradeskill.
Thank you for reading my post ^^. If staff of FC cannot allow the changing of the armor in the social slot, please at least allow the changes of the social slot weapons. There are way too many alien social armors and other social weapons going unused compare to how great they are.
the link below shows an example on how this social mode might take place
