Bounty hunter Skin

[Xi'as]

Saw this line in the upcoming patch notes

* Male Bounty Hunter now has 20% more HP but 25% less Speed than Female Series EV, and has own unique character portrait

Please reconsider this, it is a skin not a "new" character, for people useing Series as a tower builder it will be a huge disadvantage just from looking a different way..

The Unique character protrait is cool though.

but it's a skin and not a character just because people complained about having to re-level characters? personally I would have preferred them to be seperate characters like the squire/countess and the other 6 are, but they haven't done that for the EV and the barb

Yeah, I honestly don't understand why the alternate gender costumes for the new characters need different stats. Sure, it saves Trendy the trouble of having to add an additional character like they did with the starting heroes and is an overall better way of handling this, but why do they feel they have to follow the pattern of male/female needing to be different?

In this case, I'm playing with my bounty hunter costume right now because it looks awesome, but what happens when they add an awesome, new female EV costume? I don't want to be discouraged from using a costume because it's going to impact my stats.

Why not just even out the stats between the gender of EV/Barbarian (10% more hp, 12.5% less speed) and let people choose which genders they want to play purely based on their desires?

Yes, i would hate to think that i spend money on the city in the cliffs dlc for the bounty hunter skin just to have it nerfed days after making it a huge disadvantage for my play style to use it.

sure if it was a new character it would be something you signed on for at the beginning, but changing the stats cause of the skin later is something completely different.

A lot of costumes alter stats or give players extra abilities. I've never fully liked it, but it's been there for a long time.

It does suck that either we have to deal with some side effects we don't want or not use the cool skin we do want.

It'd be nice if you unlock that "set of abilities" for each costume and can apply one at any time and SEPARATELY apply the skin... i.e. I could chose to have the abilities of the romney squire costume (basically makes the squire a countress) but wear the pants costume.

Would hate to see me Bounty Hunter have to be an EV just to get around

[Flexe]

I share the same sentiments here, I imagine that the Bounty Hunter will be a rarely used skin if they slow the movement speed, which would be a sorry sight, since it's just awesome

[Lazerus]

i dont knwo if i like it or i hate it.
20% more hp sounds nice, and 25% less speed isnt that much, because EV is very fast

[karril]

I loved the idea of giving the male suit the jet pack, but dont make us slow =p

[Lazerus]

more jetpack skins would be nice (or more sci fi suits).
maybe is the speed reduction and health increas not that bad we think about, maybe it is good?
EV is a very fast char, maybe the 25% wont make that big difference?
