Several similar topics have been posted before, but mine is a bit different. I’m fine with the way the medium guild armor looks on my Engineer, in fact, I love it. And the backpacks do look silly, and capes would be cool to see on some characters, especially ones with heavy armor like guardians and warriors, but not so much on others. But if there’s an emblem I really like and want on my character, I have to find or start a guild with that emblem. And finding a good guild with that emblem is hard, and starting one is even harder, but that’s the solution I’m leaning towards, unless they can implement this.
There should be some way you can make your own emblem, either character or account bound. The ideal situation would be if you can upload your own emblem design and wear it on any character with any piece of armor, and be able to choose which armor or weapons you want it on and wear, but I think that’s a bit too much to ask. For me, I’d be more than happy if I can just make an emblem with the guild emblem designer and put it on my medium guild armor, without having to wear the emblem of whatever guild I’m in unless I want to. I think this small change would go a long way to make customization even better.
I’ve started my own guild in the beginning and earned enough influence by myself and alt-switching to get the emblem I want, but everyone left, and I don’t have the time to run a guild anymore like I used to. And joining another guild and just switching back to mine when I want that sweet emblem is just inconvenient. City of Heroes (R.I.P.) had your own emblems from character creation, and you could wear a guild emblem too, if you so desired, but it wasn’t necessary. I just want to be able to wear the emblem I want while still representing a guild and earning influence for it, without having to search for a guild with that emblem or starting my own.
I feel this would be very simple to put in. What do you think?
