Relic and the results of the skin contest

Looks like Relic are testing the results from the skin contest with us.

“This is a unique opportunity to test a self-sustaining model where players can access top quality content, reward the content creators, and fund community-led events,” said Alex Price, Brand Director at Relic. “We’re excited to see how this might pave the way for more collaboration with players and designers across our portfolio of games.”

I gladly spend money on good skins and cosmetics unlike shitty DLC commanders.

We encouraged this over 3 years ago. Well done Relic!

P.S. this kind of thing works much better in free-to-play games.

Invis a post and another quoting it.

On: better late than never. GJ

The difference between CoH2 and for example League of Legends is, that a skin in LoL is way more, than just other textures. It's about models, effects, voiceover and so on. You can really feel that a skin is something different from the standard champion.

Skins in CoH2 however all feel the same as sad as it might sound. Rita Rush's art is absolutely gorgeous but ingame I would never realize it is a different skin to be honest.

Some other voices for different skins would for example be nice. Different models are logically not possible unfortunately but skins need to be worth their money.

So maybe a ingame lexicon with history about a certain skin? For example how did the Wehrmacht use a particular skin in a certain act of the war? I'm sure A LOT of people would like this, as I love to read the short description of the bulletins.

People in LoL spend up to 15(!) Dollar for a single epic skin because you get so much out of it.
Even I have spend about 15 bucks for Riot Points and I am the last guy on earth who would pay for F2P stuff. On the other side I have and I will never spend any money on CoH2 except expansions such as WFA.
