Cash shop item to NOT see other players costumes and cosmetics

I'm a player that values the aesthetic progression of my character and of those around me. I feel costumes are immersion breaking, and with the vast amount of cosmetics and costumes already in the game I think it's going to taint the beautiful world being created. I understand people like to see these things and will pay for it. Can I at least get an option to NOT see all the costumes and cosmetics?? I'd be more than willing to pay for it in the cash shop. If it's even possible, I have no idea.

@Warth well to each their own. still don't get why you need others to participate in your vanity for you to enjoy it, i never will. i just argue for a more purist approach.

@Mag7spy ew gross

Won't happen. That would only discourage people from spending money in the cash shop which would be a financial hit for Intrepid. So no, it won't happen and it wouldn't be a great move. A lot of people (not saying everyone) buy cosmetics in the cash shop not only for themselves but to look cool for other's. Just like in real life.

If you go out to the club, you buy a bomb outfit to look good for yourself, but also to look good for other's or to impress. If people could press a button and make you look basic, what would be the point of you spending money and buying a dope outfit to go out in? Same applies here.

@TheDarkSorcerer Well said. I just want that button like those people want their outfits, probably more.

Immersion, the word to justify your view... "it breaks my immersion"

Lets say, you buy this thing.
then you go RP (immersion is big thing among roleplayers for sure so... )

My RP outfit / aesthetic outfit : light armor (leather or kind of) with really "natural" visuals, (some flower or foliage there and there on outfit) => friend of nature, lover of forest
My real outfit / technocal outfit : still leather, but more classic leather armor, in a way it seems more to duellist/swashbuckler.

How we dress IRL speaks for us before we open mouth. so does for our characters.
In this example, you will first think about a character who like the beautiful fight etc, while i am just a kind of hippie or anykind of nature lovers who don't care about "fight aesthetic" . . .

Also, you begins to consider that the cash shop aesthetic will break your immersion because some reason due to the design of this specific stuff... how can you be sure that drop items won't have also kind of design you could find "not so logic/realist/immersion friendly".
Without even speaking about "patchwerk aesthetic" due to having items for stats... but items from different aesthetic design.

Your solution generates, i think, a bigger problem, AND doesn't even really solve the problem you have.

I'm RP'ing a player that enjoys MMOs w/a costume cash shop, so if your character has the ability to hide my character's purchased costumes, it breaks my immersion.

I want a cash shop item so i can dress you how i want that overwrites your button. Lets do some cash shop pvp.

@Mag7spy
IMO this should be a whaling competition.

You can select what other players are wearing for everyone to see (based on the Costumes you own) as long as you have spent more money on the cash shop than they did. If you have spent less, then they can choose what you wear based on the costumes they own.

Spend most money on the server
Force everyone to use the stufferton and Celebrants of the Rose
...
Profit?

Ha! Like a costume wand?

Well everyone's welcome to their opinions. I just value the aesthetic progression, by passing it with credit card swipes are all fine and dandy if I can void your swipes with my swipes for my viewing pleasure. Some of yall are sensitive about your costumes.

Or just implement the Cow Curse from Project Gorgon.
Maybe make it a Sheep Curse to avoid copyright infringement.

When the game has aesthetic and its clear who is wearing something bought, but the person still wants to mention it like aesthetic progression isn't in the game and like they can't just not use the shop and wear what they gain from playing the game.

Stop trying to control what people do, do what you want to do and that is fine. Be happy there is no way to win in the game or P4C. This is a company that is spending million and millions of dollars to make a game, they still need to make profit and game development is more costly than it was in the past.

It feels like it'd be more immersion-breaking to NOT see peoples' cosmetics; I hate seeing the patch-work clown suits can lie underneath a good-looking exterior.

Would have to voice support against this notion. *If* turning such things off had been an option? It shouldn't cost you extra money to use it.

Volgaris

@Mag7spy I don't really know what you mean here.

I don't see how wanting to not see shop purchases on characters from POV only. Is trying to control people, yeah you do what you want, i'll do what i want. I'm glad there's no P2W in the game and happy it's a sub cost. I just don't enjoy cosmetics, there are some exceptions, i don't enjoy costumes at all, and for others like me, why not let us enjoy the game as much as we can, no need to be so edgy about it.

if the gear someone is wearing is a metaphorical clown suite and that's immersion breaking, then there's something wrong with the gear design. which happens, and you're right @Tryanthraxus they suck to look at too, but that's how I feel with every costume I see.

Hahaha.
No.

Literarily no one cares you don't enjoy it, don't buy it and stop crying as crying won't change anything. Games don't grow on trees.

You are wasting your time directing answer at a cash shop and you don't know how to go about it in a smart way. Be happy you have in game gear progression unlike most games, and if you feel there isn't enough in game then complain about it.

Volgaris

@Mag7spy there you go again, gross. I get it, YOU don't like it, move on already, it'll be healthy for you.

There a reason why?

Cat Quiver

Do you get to control how you see other people appear to you in real life? No, you don't, so you want a fix that lets you magic away what they are wearing with a click of a button, and you're crying about immersion, in a video game. Go to a medieval festival then for fucks sake.

The cosmetics are being used for NPCs in the world so this isn't a good argument to me. The cosmetics are part of the world.

Would this make all NPCs look generic?
