I think this is a really cool idea, and could tie back into the idea of the non-combat occupational guilds. I think it would be cool to have custom sets of armour, for example, that conferred the benefits of high end equipment. Having your own set of armour adds more customization and flavor to the character.What I have in mind is that if a player has specific combination of guilds they could then join such "club" and it would change their appearance, titles, maybe even special hits descriptions.
Flexibility and diversity would be easier to add this way.Zhar wrote: ↑26 Jul 2020 22:43Not really about a non-combat guilds but I didn't feel like starting a brand new topic for that and I think we might as well discuss it here. I was wondering how would players feel about some "cosmetic" upgrades to guilds in form of a club or something.

We already have some of it in place (Mercs and SoHM being able to change their titles to reflect their other affiliations), but what if we could push it a bit further? I bet that RF/AA members would love to become warg-riding uruk-hai. Perhaps some more evil-inclined minotaurs would like to downscale a bit and become savage beastmen? Warlock dwarves growing demonic horns and spewing brimstone from their mouths? Pirate elves could become true Dargonesti. Evil minstrels being doctors of Cacophony etc. etc.
Personally I think this might be a cool way of increasing variety and enabling more roleplay without actually adding any more guilds. Just the "skins".
I think this sounds like a good idea, if it does not muddle up guildhalls and training facilities mm.Zhar wrote: ↑26 Jul 2020 22:43Not really about a non-combat guilds but I didn't feel like starting a brand new topic for that and I think we might as well discuss it here.
