Cosmetic Priority Issues
So, before I start, congratulations if you got your favorite character who won the contest, and congratulations to the artists, my point here is not to bash anyone for their choice, nor am I going to discuss about the contest at all, but it has been my motivation behind this disscussion/suggestion.
————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
My main point for this is that although I love all the consisitent quality outfits that the queens can slay with, I wish BHVR can reciprocate that to the lads. Alot of the lads end up with cosmetics that are ALMOST great (David's cosmetic from that one BDSM rift), cosmetics often can't fit will in 99% of mix and match outfit combos (The masks from the Tokyo Ghoul Collection), or in the case of Baermar, having finally another skin, to then have that skin be kill switched during the anniversary event, or Gabriel getting dipped by not receiving the bloodmoon outfit that was supposedly mentioned during the bloodmoon event, or god forbid you're a Jonah main wanting more outfits, or god forbid the majority of the skins suck and you have only one good outfit like what's happening to Gabriel.
Now, I'm not saying it's 100% for the ladies (Sable's community outfit in the rift got chopped hard), but these issues I've seen are plauging male survivors more-so. Especially because they are finally turning around to give Haddie, Jane and Taurie their skins, which they all needed skins; but I wish BHVR can give that same attention to Jonah and Gabriel for example.
It also sucks, because I do understand, a company wants money, so they put effort and time into something they can gurantee make them money, it then releases and earns them money, and then they put more effort on that same survivor, which unfortunately means that the rest get less, and this cycle kepts getting repeated alot. Whilst I do undertsand that this is a common practice, I feel like it has become more frustrating at this point; especially adding on that there have not really been original male survivors.
For context as to why I'm bothering to suggest wanting priority to be more equal, I am in a minority who play more male characters 9 times out of 10, but I do enjoy playing characters like Orella or claudette, and I love the ladies for having alot of outfits, because even if they do have a full cosmetic set that has one iffy part, It's easier to go loose with another cosmetic piece and still make it fit, which unfortunately is most often not the case for most male cosmetics
Mentioning bugs again, but I don't think David's cosmetic bugs are fixed, because it may be small, but it's annoying to see a void seem near the waist on alot of his outfits with the shirtless top.
One thing that could help possibly is bringing variety, as I do agree that male outfits often don't feel unique, which is true most often. I would love to see unique outfit's like Yui's Foxtail outfit, or Feng's pixel perfect outfit for example (both really good visually, and the vfx on Feng's is top notch) on male survivors to help them get a leg up, or if not, at least release outfits that can eat on a consistent basis like the ladies get.
I hope that I've made it clear, and if not, I would love to be asked for clarification, or if anyone has something to critique to me about, please do so; but my point still stands that the lads need better treatment to at least get them to the same playing field as the ladies.
