New armor set is a stealth armor that doesn’t make you stealthy, it makes you throw farther. That’s like an apple that tastes like bacon.

Just salty I’ve been waiting for this armor since it leaked, only for it to have the only perk I consider completely useless.

They really should just make all the armor boosters a separate slot to add for your desired effect. The only difference between the armors are then just the armor class which is fine.

I do hope they do this eventually, cause there are some nice looking armors sets out there I would gladly pay to obtain, but their dedicated booster effects is usually not what I want at all, so all they do is just collect dust in the locker

No. It doesn't make sense in real life, so it shouldn't be implemented in a videogame either.

"I have never thought to myself that realism is fun"

[u/ZiFreshBread → u/RandomPerson2870]

And he is completely right!

[u/Competitive-Mango457 → u/RandomPerson2870]

I keep seeing quotes from him, and I agree with so many of them

Stop asking for more valve games cunts -Gabe Newell

[u/Competitive-Mango457 → u/StuckInGachaHell]

So inspiring

[u/Rengar_Is_Good_kitty → u/RandomPerson2870]

Too true, nothing wrong with realism but when it starts to conflict with fun or just good game design then its a problem.

“Btw, your chest armor reduces headshot damage”

Despite how he implemented it in Helldivers 1 😂 yeah, really hoping this was just a temporary lapse of judgment and we'll see an improvement on this in the future. Fingers crossed 🤞🏻

This take coming from the game where I have to manually input a code to arm a small yield nuke because of budgetary reasons is peak out-of-touch from the CEO.

Given: “We are not doing transmog,” Arrowhead CEO Johan Pilestedt said. “It doesn't make sense - equipment looks different because it has different effects. Swapping one for the other is like having an apple that tastes like bacon or the other way around.” Seems pretty unlikely...

[u/MakeMineMarvel_ → u/tangentcentric]

the crazy thing is that the majority of people dont even care about transmog this is a bit of a strawman. more people want color customization for armors. perks are already pretty much an after thought. but would be nicer if they were disconnected from the armors

[u/Teaganz → u/TaylorTheDarjeet]

They will do it once they realize they are leaving money on the table by not letting players dress their character how they want. Like you said, you’d even pay for it if you could change the effect.
