Seeing people with skins because I came so late to this. I swear this game isn't dead, and they are still paying for the servers shows that there is more hope. But enough of that passed on stuff, I'm talking about those hot skins I see people wearing. You only get them at events which I have missed all (Again because im new).
If you ask me, I think this game should have purchasable content. A function like this would surely get this server some funds. What kind of things you ask? Well those skins would be awesome to buy, because there are some skins in there that I would purchase. The donations are one thing for getting money, which is going well by the way.
What I like on this community is: Not that many douches in the game, everyone plays right and are not stupid 10 year olds, the use of donations are voluntary (Not retarded VIP status crap that you get if you donate. Legally thats buying a VIP not really a donation -.-).
Hope this gets taken for consideration, but these are just my thought and I think would be a good idea for the game. :)
-
Will not happen, those skins don't belong to the 2238 devs, who can't get money from this game (only through donations).
Even if it was legally possible, it wouldn't make sense because none of those skins can use all weapons, most can't wear armor, some got really weird walking/running animations and some can't even run.
EDIT:

Yep, you're really new here.
-
(I'm not saying I didn't encounter douches, its just that there are less on here than LoL, Other Servers, and MineZ/DayZ. I just mean there are more mature people here.) It would only make sense, but what about the 3D Models that I keep hearing about? Aren't those made by the devs and will be added into the game? I'm not really saying this is the best idea, I just wanted more ways that could help the server other than the donations.

You jelly? hehe jk. maybe if voland takes a liking to you, he will give you a skin. he's pretty cool about it.
-
Feh. Every skin can be obtained with a bit of tinkering with game files - why should one Pay for it?

Yeah :P. Totally want a skin though. And yes i'm never here for a skin give away. Giving it some thought, for such a free and fun mmo I just wanted at least something payed for XD.

Gimme Gimme never gets...

I will sell you one of my skinned characters for caps. if your interested tell me which one.
-
Damn never should of got rid of my moneys, would of bought your Rat character for caps xD

Just FYI, skins weren't meant for trade and can be removed at any time - just like they were given.
-
I didnt think skins were even tradeable. I thought admins/devs would have you make an account, and have you use that account with that skin enabled on it. Sounds accurate to me, but im still confused.
-

How about make skins obtainable through the game mechanics? Like selling for caps, or trading for items. At certain groups reputation or even as a quest reward. Removing could be taken care of in barber shop.
At least some skins could have decent ammount of animations. Tribal, guys in jackets, mobsters... of course not some specials like robots or animals. Would be nice for RP and would not require GM to give/remove skins.
-
In game mechanics, I don't think so. Buying them is something I would do. But if its something you cant do because the devs didnt make it then thats fine. Still if the 3D models were to come in, didnt devs make those? I'm just saying I would defiantly buy skins.
-
I would buy them very defiantly!
-
And then Jovanka will press a button and reset all skins to default. No thanks.
-
That's why you do it defiantly!

That Indian giver! lol jk. oh well. maybe the "past nonsense she did as a gm" is better then the nonsense shes doing as a dev. In fact, i would much rather have the gm nonsense. I mean, Brahmin poop? really? no offense, but Jovanka is one of the reasons 2238 is going downhill.

Brahmin poop? What is she a bad dev? Still confused :/. And this GAME ISN'T DYING!

I mean, shes not a BAD dev, but..... hmm. lets just say she was better as a GM. She gave it a try though. I may have no say so in it, but i don't think she was cut out to be a dev.

I understand it in a way, that you have to start with something. If she changed something about PvP there would have been a lot more crying though.
Although i think that adding new features is better than altering old ones.

Just set up a new map location with all the skins like the event and just give them dialogue where talking to them changes you to the kin of the npc. Shouldn't be that hard to do, same mechanics as haircut. Just stick a bluesuit guy so they can revert and you can have custom skins without bothering gms. It sucks when you have a char you want to change and you have to either wait months on the off chane a gm will be giving them out or try and ask without pestering the gms.
-
And...how would that work? XD

Are you kidding me? Then there would be nothing special about skins. I agree with the skin merchant idea though. Maybe make them generate random skin options. Make certain skin options rare and sought after, in comparison to the Gauss pistol and Bozar. For example, Centipede or desert stalker skin, as well as frank Horrigan skin. These would cost a lot more than common skins.

Brain Bot?
Roleplay as Skynet.

There isn't anything special other than looking cool and handicapping yourself. 3d or horrigan wouldn't work for lag and size issues.

Exactly. Thank you, Horatio.

Says who? Just because something is currently hard to get doesn't mean it has to be. There aren't enough skins to be unique - see tons of robot dogs in ncr.

You mean "There are too many skins to be unique."
But I don't agree. A rough estimate, every 1 in 5 players have a skinned character(s).
Or you might mean there isn't a large enough variety of skins to be unique. Either way, I disagree. There are tons of skins out there. Think about how many npc's there are.

I belong to a Garry's Mod Fallout Role-play community and they are essentially in the same spot as the FOnline devs, except they cut shortcuts by saying said donate-able items are not purchased, but rather gifts. This way it stays totally legal, because what we already do is have the administrators give out 'Gifts' on FOnline in the form of skins. But now they can be considered perks, or gifts that are given for the donors support.
Here's an excerpt of the donation page for our community to sum it up.
PLEASE NOTE: All payments sent to 'Community Name' will be sent as a donation, and will go towards funds for forum, server, and development. Perks chosen with your donation is your gift for helping out the community; me and the admin team have the right to take away any perks you have at their discretion if you are abusing it, and you will not be refunded.
After you make a secure paypal payment by clicking the red donate button at the top of the thread, you can look at the list of perks below. After you have donated, you need to send a Private Message to 'Owner' with the following format.

I say a skin is unique in a way of owning it. And while its not that rare as base of Andr3aZ or a Ranger CA, its still something special and not obtainable anymore, at least, until next wipe.
-
base of Andr3aZ
Wat?
-
Well, all of those are pretty good ideas too, but I am not joking, I would pay real money for a skin on here. This game is just so fun :).

Yeah great idea other than selling bethesda property and getting your ass shut down.

Bumping my idea since I have not received a response.

Usually, when there are no more responses, it's time to give it up.....

Or my post was trampled by a bunch of retards yelling about how they're willing to buy skins rather than giving insight on ways to actually do so without a lawsuit.

Why not make skins selectable at character creation or something like that.

Devs are busy developing the shit-shoveling aspect of FOnline.

i still think that the skins will work with consumables(i want a nice pair of red cloths and a black skin, i think i will take this cloth material and make up set to become a nigga)

They are trying to make it noob friendly
-
Some skins could be allowed through quests, like mutant skins, gaining it by completing a quest, need just a creative approach to it, same thing goes for ghoul skin and maybe some other human skins with cosmetic effects, wouldn't make sense to complete a quest and become a dog wouldn't it? :)
-

Maybe they should do a wipe and make it so that the average player doesn't have to deal with all the shit that's broken. Maybe next year.

I see that 3D models would be implemented into the game. They were created by the team too, so wouldn't the 3D skins work?

yes, and once 3d is introduced, the game will lag mercilessly. They tried a few things 3D last session (death claws, rats etc) and some are still 3D (centipedes, desert stalkers, rad toads) when in the encounter, you cant hardly even move. And in real time combat, you were sure to die. So if you have a 3d skin, you will lag very bad, also everyone around you will also lag. 3D is a terrible idea, imho.

maybe you need to buy a new pc?
-
Do you mean fps lag or server lag?
-
He means FPS.
3D? Keep dreaming, players were talking about it a year ago like it's something that will happen in near future, my advice is to forget such 3D exists at all, just like server wipe, updates and everything else.
-

Seems like it, doesn't it.
No 3d models, because it makes my computer lag. I dont think so.

You're assuming that models from never finished game - heck, it doesn't even reach RC status - which you won't be able to use anyway, will work as these which has been worked on by players here and on fonline.ru... Which doesn't have NASA computers at home, i belive, and want to play still without forcing everyone to upgrade PC. Have you ever read 3d board? It's around only since 2 years, easy to miss, i know. As it's all made by players, and progress is available for everyone to check on their own... did you, or you just repeating the loudest? By fact that you post in random threads, i assume first one is true, so Get This Fine Opportunity to check this thread (http://fodev.net/forum/index.php/topic,18835). Remember that posting retarded "rats lags, 3d sux" is not valid argument, as it's not rats what's main goal. If you actually check current player model and still have problems, contact the author and let's hope he/she can do anything with that before it's ingame. What will happen, eventually, when 3d wizards finish their magick. Posting random letters is easier than helping to make things better, so define yourself.
That's all.
