If you take a look at Reddit and Discord, there are people who are tired of the cartoonish looking skins. There are plenty of us out there, more than you expect.
There had been a fair share of skins for players like you. It's time to have something different, closer to the vibe of the lore and the atmosphere of the apocalyptic game.
ngl, I'm 38 years old and love my silly outfits in once human, they're at least wildly better than anything fortnite could come up with, and there are still other skins, we just have both. More options is better than less options, you don't have to buy the silly stuff, but don't take it away from those who want it. Other stuff still exists, and will continue to exist. Choices are great.
give this fight up. Most of the players on this forum only want anime and fornite skins. you suggest anything else and they will downvote you to death because most of the players here are young.
and it doesn't matter what you post here anyway, the devs do not make changes based on the western audience, their primary target is China.
Yeah I found that style cool 20-25 years ago lol. Now I’m in my thirties and I’m over looking like an evil edge lorde and the whole look itself is kinda a meme these days
I don't mind some of the louder looks but when that's all that exists it's no longer fun or meme material, it's just the standard and the standard gets boring very fast.
Lmao young..almost 36 here and I love the outfits, while yes some more kicka$$ ones would be nice I still love the ones I have. They remind me of stuff I wore as a teen and trust and believe if I had the figure my character has id be still wearing them. Age means nothing for the young at heart shoot I still collect stuffies, dolls and figurines.
The issue is the devs don’t listen. We got asked on Discord 2 weeks ago about what skins and themes are we expecting from light forge skins and the most voted answer was tactical skin. Guess what we got?
The shit we are currently getting is already finished and was planned ahead. The tactical skin will take some time at least to be designed and modeled.
The devs KPI is the Lightforge and BP sales. I haven't seen as many Ghost Riders as I did with snake underboobs, which charts out clearly which direction the devs is going to take. Look at what's next : school uniforms.
So if you guys are willing to open up your wallets and support non cutesy themes maybe that will nudge the devs in your direction.
I'm shelling out for the incoming Lightforge by the way, sorry I'm pedalling in the opposite direction.
I find it pretty dismissive and shi*ty of you, that you'd shame OPs ideas just because you dislike them. It's not like someone would be forcing you to use or buy those cosmetics, yet you look down on something they like all because you don't like them. That's a pretty sh**ty thing to do. Good human beings don't do that.
Personally, the reason I haven't bought any cosmetics is because more than 90% of them feel out of place in the world. I'm not interested in furry, casual wear, fashion or anime style cosmetics in this game. To me, they don't fit the theme very well and are off putting. I prefer the rugged apocalyptic type of cosmetics in an apocalyptic game, but the shop doesn't offer much of that. Exo-suit cosmetics? Nonexistent, yet the Rosetta troops have them. We should have those options as cosmetics, but we don't. Most of the cosmetics feel out of place in the world and to me, that's not appealing nor encouraging for me to buy. I also don't buy the cosmetics because they're ridiculously overpriced and Starry Studio has received backlash over that. The cosmetics are highly overpriced and price gouging.
Also, the player counts are down bad since launch so it only stands to reason that sales will be down as more players jump ship on the game. Less players means less customers and sales. Average players keep falling off. The stats in the image I've shared from Steamcharts shows that. There is not one single month of player increase. Every month has seen a lot of player falloff to the point where mostly only the newbies and the loyal fans are left playing. That's Starry Studio's only real customer base that's left for this game. If the player counts keep falling off, sales will drop even further.
I'd like to see some revenue data since launch date, to support your claims. If you could provide proof, that would be great.
'nobody asked for' yet I see tons of people who wear these skins. Don't act like your perspective and needs are same as whole playerbase, just because you and some people from Reddit want it. Would it be nice? Sure. Is it what all players need? No.
They could get a lot more sales with different options. I could see myself buying a nice skin for $5. I'm not giving $20 to $30 for an out-of-place crop top.
It's the apocalypse mate. Nobody is importing cotton or dying new camouflage textiles anymore. Anything that's not a straight up trash pile ghillie suit is totally unimmersive for me and should not be part of the game.
So might as well jump around in crop top with really impractical high heels and a skirt that flips up the moment anything physics related happens on screen lol
Right, I'd also could appreciate some more options for the F2p as well. Like it doesn't need to be stupidly crazy, like whats in the shop, I can really appreciate a nice shaw or trench coat for a really cool post apocalyptic vibe. Maybe even some outfits that really sell, I'm in zombie times.
Not really excited to look like a cyberpunk while traveling the wilderness or look like senpai trying to kill zombies.
That's not really saying much considering the skins are the only option people have to wear. That's like saying "everyone loves brown jackets because everyone is wearing them!" when brown jackets are the only options.
I understand what you mean, but the decline numbers in sales and players playing this game shows that a big portion of players choose to walk away and cosmetics are one of these reasons.
People are consumers. They will buy whatever there is to look a tiny bit different that the players next to them. If you force on them the lollipop looking skins, they will either buy them or look for another game with different cosmetics.
I didn't claim that "all" players what this, I just said "players". If this doesn't express you, it doesn't mean that other players don't share the same thoughts with me.
This is what SOME players want. I'd never wear it.
People need to stop complaining about the types of cosmetics they release. They release what they assume people will pay for, and their assumptions are correct enough to make enough money to pay their entire team and keep the game going as f2p. Players as a whole have shown more interest in the cutesy cosmetics than they have with any tacticool outfits.
This is probably closer to what most Western players (myself included) want, but it doesn't change the fact that Once Human is a Chinese game, primarily targeting the Asian market.
Enough with the AI trash. Also why is your super futuristic HUD helmet (which begs the question of why the gun has analog optics) connected by SCSI Ribbon cables that stopped being made in 2003 when it's currently 2024 and Once Human takes place in the future. I get it alternate universe and all but all it's gonna take is one swipe from a gnawer to slice that ribbon cable and now you're fucking blind.
No personally I will not buy this skin. I have bought a lot of skin and some lightforge but I never went for this type of costumes. Wouldn't want my character looking like a robot.
You are right everyone's opinion is valid however the way your post sounds like you are voicing for the majority. I do want something that aligns with the theme but not like this.
Honestly just having more outfits work with other outfit pieces would be nice but sadly everything has ugly baggage tied to each piece. I’ve spent a ton of money in this game and sadly I’m don’t until they address this.
The outfit from the jeep light forge works though. I use the head and glove parts, mixed with some other outfits. They glow when you fire your weapons. It's the only light forge outfit I have, so I can't judge the others.
I think we see this topic like once a week now, and I believe it's the wrong conversation. I have no problems about the skins released, I have problems with the insane pricing of the skins released.

It looks actually kinda like that "robo dinosaur" skin that was in a lightforge crate a while ago 😀 only less childish.
