Why are we talking about shield and regen here? There is another thread for that topic. Any way, I guess I never thought of the other factions and color schemes. Ork's probably don't care what color they wear other than red = faster and all those beliefs, Chaos probably doesn't really care other than looking more bad ass, Eldar are pretty organized about there army colors. Going to be interesting to see how they regulate this in game. Honestly, I have a feeling that they will not restrict at all.
They've said on this very thread and elsewhere that they will be limiting customization options for performance as well to keep faction/subfaction identifiable. However, yes there is a pretty significant difference between LSM/Eldar vs CSM/Orks. While the prior are much more concerned with uniformity, and Eldar Aspects don't even diverge their armor styles much at all, this is not true of Orks and Chaos. Restrictions on them should be much more lax, as not only is divergence tolerated, it is expected. It should be kept within the nature of the IP, with Orks of course able to go into the realm of humorous, it should all be appropriately dark, as though the Orks are least serious faction, they still exhibit a dark humor Seriously though, if my Ork alternate can't wear a fancy top hat I will be disappointed.
As far as customization goes, I only want one of those red plated bolter rifles. I like the rank and file ultramarines as they are, so I won't be bothering too much with appearance.
All I need for my ork is some Freebooterz flavored gear. Matter of fact, just give me Freebooterz and I'll ditch my Goff in a heartbeat.
Say wot? Deffskullz iz da lootiest and da shootiest! Dez gonna kno whoze da classiest orks dere iz! Den weze gon blast em!
Of course, why cant the same apply to Goffs or Uthwei? Color options in the same spectrum just slightly different shades to give players a little extra to customize.
Oh yeah, I knew that. But our buddies here want to give everyone what they want and some people may want to make that Rainbow Bright color scheme in this game. I agree with such restrictions for the most part but I see some factions not needing it at all and some being overly restricted, like the Eldar.
Couldn't they prevent super rainbow colours like how DCUO does it? I prefer Champions Online and COH in terms of more customization, but at least it would stop crazy colours. Unless people just want no option to choose colour schemes at all and stay the same as what is picked by the Eldar Craftworlds/Shrine: But if that's the way it heads is there really any point in even having the option of a colour hud?
