Lamb Chop Posted May 4, 2019 Posted May 4, 2019 I'm not entirely convinced this is even possible. I can't deny, however, the desire to play as The Monarch and change my soldiers to just wear black and yellow tights is STRONG.
Dakota Whitemane Posted May 4, 2019 Posted May 4, 2019 This was something the Devs wanted to do during live, but suddenly!shutdown happened first
Eiko-chan Posted May 4, 2019 Posted May 4, 2019 This was something the Devs wanted to do during live Not entirely true. Positron was completely against full tailor customisation because he was afraid of people running around as Mastermind pimp and hoes. (Yes, seriously that exact example.) There was talk of maybe letting MMs "customise" their pets in a power customisation way, picking different skins for their pets instead of the default, but that never came to any fruition and was probably way way low on their priority list.

renegade0 Posted May 5, 2019 Posted May 5, 2019 That's really a terrible reason not to have it considering you can do that with the male minions. Besides, if someone did make that, they could just wipe that character's costume like they did for other characters that broke the ToS or do whatever they did for offensive characters. "pimp and hoes" isn't even that offensive. There's so much potential if we could make our own minions someday. Assuming it's possible.

I agree - there was already a system in place to deal with offensive or copyrighted characters that could have easily been used to police people's custom pets. It isn't an argument that holds up at all. That said, it's pretty unlikely that we'll ever see it happen for obvious reasons. Sadly, it doesn't matter how many times I fantasize about making my own version of Multiple Man with pets that are simply clones of himself. Check me out on VirtueVerse!
thorsmitersaw Posted June 1, 2019 Posted June 1, 2019 I was so disappointed with how terrible thugs looked and prayed that one day I would be able to reskin them as The Family and have my mobster mastermind I always wanted.
kelly Rocket Posted June 2, 2019 Posted June 2, 2019 I was so disappointed with how terrible thugs looked and prayed that one day I would be able to reskin them as The Family and have my mobster mastermind I always wanted. Agreed. This specific thing is why I want Pet Customization :D
scran Posted June 2, 2019 Posted June 2, 2019 With the source code out, anything is technically possible. Its more about how much effort are people willing to invest into it.

Black Zot Posted June 3, 2019 Posted June 3, 2019 I too, would love to see multiple pet appearance options, but for once coding really isn't the biggest hurdle. Developing a bunch of extra art assets and possibly new animations to go with them is one heck of a project.
Klaleara Posted June 3, 2019 Posted June 3, 2019 How would we deal with it? Just not care about the theme? Or restrict what kind of customization options you get? Like, how are humanoid robots going to shoot their guns? Are we going to have "Huge" ninjas? Healthy looking little girl zombies vomiting all over the place? I'm not really against it, but it is something to take into consideration.

Adeon Hawkwood Posted June 3, 2019 Posted June 3, 2019 How would we deal with it? Just not care about the theme? Or restrict what kind of customization options you get? Personally I would say do it with reskin & coloration options. While it would be nice to have the ability to make custom costumes for all of your pets that's probably not practical. However making it so that you can choose different skins and recolor those skins is probably a more reasonable approach. That being said it's still a lot of work. Defender Smash!

There's no reason for it to not be practical. We should really be able to design our pets with the same interface we make mobs for the AE.
BlackenBlue71 Posted June 4, 2019 Posted June 4, 2019 I wish you could reskin, and even change gender on the human pets. Would love to have gangsters, with gun molls for the starting pets. Or at least some female Thugs.
Healix Posted June 4, 2019 Posted June 4, 2019 Well, the only thing you can do is give your MM pets names...I have seen some very clever ones. Forever grateful to be back in my city!
Trotay Posted April 29, 2021 Posted April 29, 2021 Thunderspy has done this so hopefully Homecoming does it soon too
