Arrowhead Game Studios Faces Mixed Reactions to Decision on Transmog Feature in Helldivers II
The success of Helldivers II has brought Arrowhead Game Studios into the spotlight, with the game being praised for its multiplayer functionality and real-time services. However, the popularity of the game has also led to a surge in requests for new features, with one of the most highly demanded being a transmog option.
A transmog option would allow players to customize the appearance of their armor while still retaining the benefits of different armor sets. CEO Johan Pilestedt has been bombarded with requests for this feature, but recently took to Twitter to address the issue.
In a tweet, Pilestedt stated, “We’re not doing transmogrification. It doesn’t make sense – the device looks different because it has a different effect. Swapping one for another is like having an apple that tastes like bacon, or the other way around.” This statement has divided opinions among players, with some agreeing with Pilestedt’s reasoning and others expressing disappointment.
Some players argue that in Helldivers II, it can be difficult to distinguish between what armor other players are wearing, making the armor a poor indicator of their buffs. This has led to continued debate over whether transmogrification should be included in the game.
As discussions continue within the community, it remains to be seen what Arrowhead Game Studios’ final decision will be regarding the transmog feature in Helldivers II. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
