This is just something small that i always liked in games, there are different ways of doing it but i think i prefer gw2’s system for it which is extremely simple.
they basically took all of the creature and npc models they had made and turned them into small versions that people could collect and run around with.
You could buy and sell the miniatures but i cannot remember how you get them in the first place (never found out)
but this system is extremely simple, you can just reuse already existing models in the game and make them smaller and allow them to be a collectible that people can run around with.
this would also be a good way to add event items for certain events without being overpowered, so like seasonal events or dev events or whatever, and would also be a good thing to implement in a cash shop that wont change the balance at all in the game.
However useless it looks i liked the idea of being able to collect minipets and companions that you can go around with, i generally like any type of collectibles and i think that is one of the things that makes me invested in a game, getting a useless item that i can show off by doing something that i wouldnt normally do.
Trove kind have the whole ‘‘collectible’’ system nailed. you can save all of the weapon and armor styles in the game by destroying the item in a style saver and use that as a skin over your current hats and weapons if you dont like the look.
i dont think this would work in oort, but something similar would be great.
what do the rest of you think would be nice collectibles to have?
PS: Devs, if you read this and make it happen later in developement, then i think you should give everybody who was in the game before races got looks, a miniature version of the orange squares we are now as an internal joke xD
