I know this is not a big thing, but we go out of our way to customize characters. Only to have everyone look the same when armor is applied. Give the players an option to hide the armor. But keep the stats. That way people will actually look different.
Check out the cosmetic items thread, some similar thoughts going on there. http://www.terrariaonline.com/threads/suggestion-clothes-equips-for-cosmetic-purpose.12277/
That thread is about accesories. I want the armor to dissapear. I want the stats but not the visual effect.
Yes, I realize that. In that thread, we were talking about the idea of keeping stat-boosting items on, with separate cosmetic slots that would override the default look of said stat-boosting items. See why I said "similar thoughts" ?
my bad, missed the post in the middle about seperate cosmetic slots. Either way it would be a great addition. I hate looking like everyone else. lol
