Don't get me wrong, I love the rings that Rare has made for every 100 faction levels we obtain, but I also like wearing gloves/hand covers, which means the rings I earn won't work on my character.
I propose that Rare creates new jewelry for players that want to either combine with their existing rings they wear, or for players like me who prefer the gloves.
The two ideas would be earrings and necklaces. Players could wear one or all three if they choose.
I think having a similar system to how the rings are would be epic.. So level 100 gives like one regular earring on the right ear, and then level 200 gives a different earring on the other ear, all the way up to level 500. So, level 500 would be 3 on one ear and 3 on the other.. Not 5 on one, lol.
The necklace could be similar too, but with one that grows in size.. so level 100 is a small, simple necklace with a piece on it, and so forth, so that at level 500 you have 2 ornaments on each side of that factions pendant hanging from the middle and it could be glowing.
Variation of Faction level rewards 100-500, instead of just rings
I think it would need to be something that would appeal to both genders.
I don’t think most boys would be comfortable wearing earrings or necklaces, but you never know.
@xdragonman15558 lol I'm a dude and all for it.. Pirates wore lots of jewelry. They had earrings and necklaces for both practical, impractical and superstitious reasons, and because it was safer to literally wear your gold on you than keep it stored in pockets or chests. Pirates used to drill holes in their coins to wear as necklaces so people couldn't steal it from them. Pirates also wore gold earrings because they believed it would improve their eye sight and help them not drown.
I can see it working for most people.
I would definitely wear them for sure.
I’m just saying that some people may not feel as comfortable with it as you do.
@thamb0 never thought about earrings or necklace but I love the idea, it could be a very nice new cosmetic type.
@xdragonman15558 I don't get the point about the genders, actually a lot of men wear necklace or earrings in real life. Also currently ingame every gender can wear everything, including dresses for men, let people choosing is the best thing to do I guess
I think they should have just added a themed curse for each company that upgrades with each distinction level. It would be usable with all of the regular cosmetics without replacing anything like the rings force you to do.
I guess someone would complain that they couldn't wear their favorite curse though, and it would be a problem with the Ghost/Bones curses - but I'd just make the Athena/Reaper company curses also work for commendations that require you to wear those.
@d3adst1ck I mean, they could do my suggestion and yours. Having a ton of options to "rep" each trading company is never a bad thing. If I could wear a OoS curse, some gold hoarder earrings, and maybe a Merchant necklace with my Reaper rings, I def would!
What do you have in mind for the look of the curses?
I wouldn't want a full body color curse for the trading companies, but maybe the eyes glow faction colors and they have the faction logo lit up on the players chest, kind of like the Legendary Curse. Otherwise, what did you have in mind?
