Eternity07 Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 I feel like this is a step backwards in the development of the game, I thought up until today that the next nova helmet would give me a little more power. Until I read up on one of the past updates discovering that the helmets from now on will be cosmetic only. Which is pretty sad, I like how certain heads gave you a nice boast with a small deduction, instead of just a cosmetic change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alphex Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 (edited) "OMG I CANT BE MOAR OP NOAW QQ MOAR" Honestly I like that it will no longer have stats. Edited October 28, 2013 by alphex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anarties Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Because most of the helmets give reductions instead of bonuses people want. Instead of making the helmets good, let's just remove the stat function all together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KvotheTheArcane1 Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Because most of the helmets are awful stat wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shut Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 "OMG I CANT BE MOAR OP NOAW QQ MOAR" Honestly I like that it will no longer have stats. There have been numerous suggestions of making helmets' stats and cosmetic appearances separate. I see no reason as to why they shouldn't follow that. Simply making all new helmets cosmetic only and doing nothing whatsoever to make them resemble the other helmets makes the whole system feel very lazy and incomplete. Almost like they simply didn't want to take the time to think up of some alternate stats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fatpig84 Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Don't hate on Pendragon or ANY of the Frost alternate helms. They look sweet and are real functional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anarties Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Pendragon and Locust also offer good stat trade offs. Also Saryn's Hemlock is also a good trade-off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSuperTaco Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 I wish the helms would keep their stats and not cosmetics. i dont like some helms i have but i like them for stats :( Bye cool helms i once had Q.Q Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hazmatzone Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Why not? Player A: Man I like the new Nekros helmet, too bad the stats on it suck. Player B: I like the new Nekros helmet too but I don't mind the stats so I'll use it. Player C: I love the stats on the Nekros helmet, but I wish the helmet wasn't so ugly. If you remove the stats from the Nekros helmet player A can wear it for the looks and be happy. Player B will be happy and will stay equal in power to other players. Player C will be happy because he can choose to not wear the helmet and will not be losing or gaining anything from it. See why removing stats is a good idea now?

magnaar Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 well I actually like some of the helmets' stats but they look awful to me why not the option to pick the stats from one helmet and pick the look from another or from the original ?...

They aren't removing stats of previous helmets...they just won't add any to future helmets, you'll know what you're getting with your money so no player D's complaint doesn't exist.

xynk Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Essence gives its greetin's. But good god is that thing hideous. "Cap'n! We've located the Red October!" Swindle is all kinds of sexy but is slightly less awesome in the way of bonuses (although it's better for min-maxing prod time AoE). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yefrign Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 cosmetic helmet options are a + to me... no more stupid things like "adds stamina and reduce speed" for Ember (yeah,.... less speed for an already slow frame with no defense.) or "minus power efficiency for -whatever it is-" for Trinity. im all in for a helmet for a new design aspect without no arbitrary bonus and debuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the point? Very useful, but a bit ugly Vanguard? or Useless, but awesome new helmet? It's just lazyness: "I don't wanna balance helmets, so just remove stats."

Mak_Gohae Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 (edited) They should just give two helmets, one with stats and one without. I dont care about min/maxing so i dont care what stats im loosing. But without stats im not even going to care to go out of the way for an alarm since the mats could be used for something that is actually useful in some way. I almost didnt build the Nekros helmet. cosmetic helmet options are a + to me... no more stupid things like "adds stamina and reduce speed" for Ember (yeah,.... less speed for an already slow frame with no defense.) or "minus power efficiency for -whatever it is-" for Trinity. im all in for a helmet for a new design aspect without no arbitrary bonus and debuff Ember has average speed.

Wahooo Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Honestly cosmetic only helms from the start would have been a good idea. All along they should have had cosmetic helmets and Chassis and the systems with no cosmetic change have the stat changes the current helmets do. 3 market items where they have just the one now. I would really like s few of the alt helms cosmetically but may not like the stat changes. There are only a handful of good helms, yes Vanguard is probably the top. I did Pendragon right away and am not 100% sold on many others but there definitely some I like cosmetically but really dont want the stat change they offer.

The_Markie Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 I like cosmetic helmets, stats just suck when you want to customize both your apperance and your stats separately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're like the 1% of the community who thinks this is a bad idea...stop arguing about something that's smart for them to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
