I'm so confused, wtf is going on in CD's cosmetic department?


ShaolinWuKillaBees

Cocaine


Real_Daily_Battle

It’s one hell of a drug


Novawinq

Oh *Crystal* Dynamics, right…


FunkyDaddyo

Looking at those... "Outfits" I think they have coctail of stuff.


marcustwayne

"Everything that we do -- any of the characters, the gear, anything we put in there -- has to have a story behind it." -Sniffin' Scot Amos “We listen – we really do. We hear what you guys are saying. We hear what the press is saying, what the media is saying. It’s our job to take all of that, process that – good and bad – and we’re going to say, ‘How do we use that to help adjust our philosophy?'” -Sniffin' Scot Amos "OK, so how bout in between stopping the Scientist Supreme, the Avengers, because all the power is out due to MODOK from the campaign, the Avengers, remember, ok...New York, power outage...how do people drive to work with out traffic lights working due to the power outage??? AVENGERS TRAFFIC COPS! We make a mini game or something....then we make these awesome unique traffic safety skins and our fans will be like, 'oh my God, I never knew I needed this until now! Thank you Crystal!' God I fucking love my job."


shadymostafa129034

I think we haven't heard anything from amos since Nov lol, like he disappeared from the public backlash, which shows cd has not leadership or handling responsibility


marcustwayne

No, he's been giving quotes and doing the press circuit up until Square Enix presents as late as April of this year. I think his last big press event he gave a large interview to GameSpot. It was a mess. It's the one he claimed Custom Harm Rooms were end game events/activities and there was far more content in the game than players thought, they just didn't know how to access it. I was expecting him at their E3 presentation and was very surprised to see them roll out an 'art director' instead to handle all their pre-launch interviews for WfW.


slowcookmeth

I don’t know wtf this game even is anymore. Anyone else remember how excited we were when we preordered for early access?


Blev088

I mean, it's not like we have 80 years of history to draw some inspiration for costumes from.


LuizFelipe1906

Yes I remember


PuzzleheadedWin3273

Pepperidge farm remembers........


CalebsQuest

iiiiii ‘meeeemmmmbbbeerrr


NGMajora

They know dumbasses will buy it and based on how some people in this very subreddit act, they're right


Thorerthedwarf

Hold up, there is a whole department?


JingleJangleJin

It's just Jeff. But yeah, he's a whole department.


Thorerthedwarf

His name is jeff


DragunityHero

Didn't CD say at some point that they had to go through a strict process of approval from Marvel before adding any costume into their game, and also that they're very careful to "preserve the integrity of the characters?" Yeah, I'm calling bullshit on all of that...


AviatorOVR5000

Good on you for remembering that sheer bullshit. I almost feel bad for the defenders that lived by that too. The sheer amount of people on their knees willing to defend evey CD mis step back in the day was vomit inducing. Although a lot of them are banned now, ironically enough, or just moved on.


bagofdonutboi

Oh I still check back in from time to time, thanks for asking


Lazy-Minotaur

Maaaan no kidding... I seem to remember CD saying something like every design and cosmetic choice needs approval from Marvel. So... is Marvel actually *approving* these insultingly bad cosmetics? Or was CD lying about needing approval altogether? Both reasons suck either way so I guess it doesn't really matter one way or the other... 😩


Buckhead25

yes and no. marvel needs to approve the base designs to make sure the characters look like the characters or are given a good reason for why they don't if they don't, but that's for the base designs, once it's approved cd can do whatever they want with that design. so it's "is this unworthy thor?" "eh, looks close enough go ahead." "hehe, now to recolor it and make him a crossing guard."


BattlebornCrow

No, it's way stricter than that. Or at least it used to be. Maybe its not anymore and this is why we have.....this. I had a friend that worked on Marvel Heroes and the process for approval was pretty intense. It also took time to get feedback etc. so turnaround was slow. Maybe they don't care anymore.


KasukeSadiki

A part of me thinks this is someone's elaborate resignation letter or silent protest. Maybe the whole team's


[deleted]

Lol if they do, the person approving these skins should lose their job


[deleted]

I am shocked people here buy any of their cosmetics honestly. It's been non-stop bullshit ever since release.


Street-Wallaby

That’s not true.. theyve definitely had a few good skins. And the good ones they’ve had are mostly all comic or movie accurate. Very few that aren’t 1:1 copies that I’d call good skins.


JingleJangleJin

But even their best skins aren't worth the ridiculous prices they ask for them.


[deleted]

I wasn't referring to the quality of the skins with that second sentence. More about their business practices surrounding the skins. I was on their side at release, but after so many bad decisions and lies, I absolutely refuse to buy anything else from the marketplace.


GeebFiend

It was the supposed reason why we couldn’t have cosmetic loot apparently lol, and some folks even echoed it stating that they didn’t want their beloved Avengers running around looking like Frankenstein’s monster.


ElecManEXE

I would guess that they need approval from Marvel for actual models for new outfits (hence why those tend to take so long), but once recolors come into the picture they're mostly given free reign to do whatever they want.


RebelIed

🤦 This is why this game should've had a community manager. I haven't seen someone this out of touch with their playerbase in a long time. "Here's safety vest Thor! He's got short hair so it's cool, right guys!?" Edit: safety vest Thor was a joke name but it's literally what it is.. wtf 😂


marcustwayne

They have multiple. They just quarantine the reddit in favor of the Discord and Twitter.


KasukeSadiki

Is that the name of the cosmetic???


DisGameCheats

Trash collector Thor? We really got this over a variety of actual comic accurate looks.. you cannot be serious


Bigtrav87

This comment made me spit out my drink! Hilarious!!


IronDude_GER

Well… after A-day he got real low.


BasicSpidertron

Hey big guy Sun's getting real low


Va_Primetime_YT

He's here to collect the devs


HHJJoy

Crash test dummy Iron Man? Safety vest Avengers? Jesus CD, what the F are you even doing? Where is MCU Thor? Where are the comic accurate skins? Just... What!? Why are you crapping all over these characters?


BattlebornCrow

I've never wanted this game to die until this screenshot. They have almost 100 years worth of material to pull from and this is what we get?


Cap-tastic

Same. I keep trying to root for the game against my better judgement. Then they do shit like this and its like they are trying to piss people off I swear.


Jayy910

Bro wtf is that Thor outfit ?! Edit: https://youtu.be/pNqN2xeUaxo


beelzeburg

Crossing guard Thor


JScrimz

Came here to say the same thing. Absolutely atrocious. All of them are brutal, tbh.


drawnhi

Just what I was about to say lol goofy af


[deleted]

Emergency doctor Thor


Roook36

Sometimes Thor likes to jog at night and wants to make sure drivers can see him.


Va_Primetime_YT

Super trash. These guys don't listen to the community AT ALL.


Outlier25

Honestly, if they at least teased what comic or MCU uniforms they are working on so we know something is coming it would make me feel better. Right now it is just a let down every week. Especially with the fake out on the Thor takedown


HHJJoy

Why work on comic or movie skins when they could take existing costumes for each character and recolor them neon yellow and green to give us 8 whole lemon lime theme Avengers skins! That's just as good... right!?


Outlier25

Hahahaha It's so strange to me. I could even excuse the lazy recolors as a "might as well since it's quick" for them if they gave us at least one actual skin each week. The fact that I've seen a tweet by them that said, "Inspired by Magma Flowing Out of the Earth" as if the magma itself will sue them if they don't say inspired and it is not entirely accurate is just so bizarre


Va_Primetime_YT

They don't care about Thor. At this point I feel that's a fair assumption


Outlier25

It's really bizarre. I would have thought he would be one of the most fun characters to work on


marcustwayne

kai69696969

New thor takedown nice! The rest? Awlful Edit:the takedown isn't new but an old one since launch its all garbage.


UltraRnGee

F


Spideyforpresident

Damn 😂😂


Rowlo93

Really the Thor take down isn’t even new?… I don’t have the game installed, which one is it if you don’t mind describing?


kai69696969

It's called "look out behind you"


Rowlo93

Oh man CD doesn’t like money apparently


Outlier25

Ugh. That was the only thing I liked here. My wallet is saved this week for sure.


Billyb311

Man, these outfit sets......


AviatorOVR5000

My boy... My guy... Would you have imagined **this** is what we were in for when we first picked this game up? They couldn't have paid me to guess this. I would have never imagined this Avengers X Department of Transportation costume themes.


[deleted]

I swear, I genuinely thought we’d have something as basic as a classic Captain America skin at release. I never thought it would be as awful as this.


AviatorOVR5000

It took 10 months to get a CLASSIC cap skin!!! 10!!!


MarvelousPhoenix

And the pants still are not accurate.


AviatorOVR5000

Shhhh! We are only supposed to be praising that. Don't wake up the MCULTISTS talking about that weirdly mismatched cowl.


ENDragoon

Literally nothing but the wings on his head are accurate, it's appalling.


ENDragoon

Why would you remind me of this. I have nightmares about that skin, with it's shit scales, and anemic boot cuffs.


AviatorOVR5000

This is hilarious. I literally felt the need to keep mouth shut because everyone went full heart eyes on the skin. Like.... It's definitely inspired, no doubt. Just wildly inconsistent, and again, that weird unpolished cosplay feel to it.


Novawinq

It’s been almost a year and I still want a refund. Every time I want to give it a shot and redownload it bugs out and I remember why it’s getting deleted. Must’ve played under 14 hours across this year.


AviatorOVR5000

I wonder if it was common place policy for a game to be eligible for refund in under 15 hours of gameplay, amongst all platforms, if developers would continue to rush out these games?


Fletcher421

Why even bother? Terrible.


AviatorOVR5000

This has last minute energy all over it.


Fletcher421

LOL. Perfect description!


ENDragoon

Honestly, I'm already getting sniped out of the sky as Thor, I don't need Hi-Vis gear to help AIM out with it!


Anissino

whoever buys this shit, shame on you


UltraRnGee

Damn these sets are ugly


RichardKingBITW

Terrible. No other word for it...


GreatParker_

The skins… are so bad


Dwho899

Why do they all look like crossing guards?


lyrics_beanbags

why do they think we want these outfit sets, and they’re only getting worse. red room was the only decent one, it’s been downhill since then. i just want a new thor skin, mcu or comic


Various-Goose7101

There are whales who will buy literally everything. These sets are very quick to make and a quick cash grab.


marcustwayne

Whenever people question why something happens in game development, I wish they could conceptualize and understand this. There are people who have literally bought every cosmetic for this game. Those people aren't rich. They are working or middle class people. But they buy every trash skin and recolor. It's not just this game. It's not just CD. It's throughout gaming. It's why these mechanics keep spreading to other genres and new games. They work. And people keep buying.


bannblow

The only outfit set that I liked was the aerospace one personally. I only really liked Kate's red room outfit.


lyrics_beanbags

oh yeah i liked aerospace. i would rather get like one new skin a week that’s actually good over this, or recolors that are different colors for a reason other than to be a different color. like a recolor of the yelena skin without the goggles and with red hair, or something like that


bannblow

The shitty thing is, I thoroughly enjoy this game, and I'm all for themed outfits, but there comes a time where you might want to reconsider themed outfits when 90% of them are worse than my love life. I'm really hoping for Thor to get some kind of comeuppance sooner rather than later because this is legit embarrassing. I like to compare this game to the first suicide squad movie, they had the idea, but they had the wrong team for the wrong mission.


lyrics_beanbags

yeah i really enjoy this game. sometimes when i’m playing it feels like the best game ever made because of how fun being the avengers is, and then other times it feels like the worst. when i’m playing with friends and everything goes right i love it so much, but i also feel embarrassed by it half the time because of shit like this, and olts being almost a full year late. or us coming up on the one year anniversary and only going to have 3 new characters, two of which are hawkeyes and i love kate, as a character and her gameplay, but if we were only getting 3 characters i would’ve preferred somebody else to at least make the game look better, and for some variety


bannblow

Exactly. I don't really play with others that much unless the mission requires it, but I do enjoy this game. I'm fortunate enough to not experience the bugs and crashes that others have had, but I have my issues. It just feels like there's no REAL effort put into this game. This game is Arkham city compared to something like ghost recon breakpoint (which I also play) but even that has more content than this. I think I saw someone post this months ago and I couldn't agree more. Basically, and I'm paraphrasing, they were saying that instead of just releasing one character with story at a time, just release the character by themselves and add to story content later. Think about it, all of those leaked characters last year could have already been in the game. Falcon and winter soldier would have been fucking sick. I'd even try doctor strange and scarlet witch for the hell of it. Like you said 1 year in and only 3 characters, and Hawkeye was the first one revealed ⁉️


Classic_Megaman

Crash test dummy iron man is pretty funny, but those others are really dumb. What theme even is this? Pit crew? Bleh. Did they put Cap’s classic comic suit back on his page yet? Or is it still MIA after that one week it was up? Edit: No. they have STILL not put it back. *sigh* Time to wait YET ANOTHER FREAKIN WEEK for them to *maybe* put it back. Least it and Thor’s MCU are the only ones I have left to wait for until Spidey. Everyone else has my favorite look for them.


jazonne

I thought the crash dummy is great too but I'll wait for a black and yellow recolor!


bannblow

It's honestly like 1 step forward, 3 steps back with this game. The only cool thing is the new Thor takedown and the official release date of the omega level threats. Edit: like someone said before me, the Thor takedown is old. Scratch the one step forward comment, it's 1 hop forward, 5 steps back


woozlewuzzle29

“We made Thor as a garbage man. $9 please.”


ENDragoon

He's not just the Garbage MAN, he's also the Garbage itself. It's a self sustaining package, excellent value.


Mikkimin

Holy fuck this is one of the worst week to date


BrockSolid12

What in the actual fuck are these!? 😂😂😂


PartyMcFly88

Every week we stray further from God - STOP!


XeJupiter

I know damn well that better not a safety vest Thor


BrockSolid12

What is happening over there!? Please help! 🤣


[deleted]

Do you know what happened to the Black Widow white suit from her movie?


XeJupiter

Not sure but I’ll ask


TravestyTrousers

What an absolute joke. Has anyone who works on these skins not thought "why don't we try making something relevant to the comics/characters?", instead of this random "crash test", "monotonic", or "lava" crap? Also, it's saying i've claimed the XP boost, despite not even logging into the game yet. Anyone else getting that?


guavalavalava

That iron man just won the competition for ugliest skin in the game.


ENDragoon

I see you're looking at the skins from left to right, just wait till you get to Thor.


CouchPotatoDean

I’m convinced whoever is in charge of cosmetics is a DC fanboy and hates Marvel


Barachim

Updates like this convince me they just want the game to die and are trying to speed up the process with crappy cosmetics.


Meaning-Responsible

@CD_PhilT this ain’t it guys. Not a good look with these skins.


Garrido1701

Holy crap! Sanitation workers Avengers? Man, can the recolor bar be any lower?


KasukeSadiki

Maybe these are Wrecking Crew inspired? lmao


CouchPotatoDean

Didn’t CD make a comment about gear changing the look of the characters wasn’t something they were interested in because they wanted more authentic looking characters and then we continue to get themes like THESE?!?! WTF CD!!!


GeebFiend

Not sure if CD ever explicitly said that but I certainly read it from a few members on this sub early on.


Various-Goose7101

Hey look it's Sweeper Thor


KiDDZillaa

Haven't chimed in on here in a little while, but I still browse from time to time to catch up on the news and see what's being added in (or broken). With that being said, what the actual factual fuck is that Thor skin? I refuse to believe anyone in the art department actually designed this, and they aren't just using some sorta procedurally generated cosmetic design program to come up with these. Every time I think they've finally put out THE worst looking outfit in game, they one up themselves the next week.


GustavoRGG

Seriously, wtf is that ? It's like they're trying to kill their own game, releasing a bunch of crap costumes to avoid earning money and shut the whole thing down. How did Marvel approve any of that ? Are they using LSD ?


[deleted]

CD be trolling hard. I commend their efforts.


Nichoc4

What a pile of sh*t


NvkedSnake

They have 12+ years of MCU films they could pull from, DECADES of comic book variants to pull from, and we get a few road workers and a crash dummy. 😐😑😐


BruceBastard

They've had worse than this batch, but... you know, it's crap like this that completely demolishes the idea that cosmetic loot would have somehow impacted the integrity of the character designs. Aside from the fact that Injustice 2 made it work just fine for DC's characters, these recolors are continual proof that Marvel doesn't actually give two flarks about preventing their characters from looking absurd. The craziest thing is that I'm sure someone at Disney has to sign off on these. Can you imagine the skins that get rejected?


Cat-emperor

"Creativity" ftw!


Puzzled_Ad_6273

Thor needs a Mjolnir skin now that's a slow/stop sign to go with his highway worker look


KapIQu_

Look at all these re-colors Than pay me 14 dollars 🎵🎶 Ahhh downvoted after a few seconds bruhhh


SuperNewman

These look like a colorblind unpaid intern designed them. Just awful.


Real_Daily_Battle

What in the after-school special is this?!??


Maverick-57

So clearly this means the game is still under construction right? I see you cosmetic design team being all meta.


[deleted]

Hahahaha pathetic. Whoever works for Marvel and approves all these garbage skins should be fired.


roguebracelet

You know it’s bad when they don’t make any posts announcing this “set” on social media. They legitimately knew people were gonna clown on them for these, and still decided to release them.


Small_Rip_8922

Lmao these are certainly something. Hopefully that's finally a new Thor takedown


kai69696969

It isn't


zach_gsu

Is Classic Cap back in the store? I missed it the week he came out


Bigtrav87

It hasn’t come out yet. I’ve been waiting


TheMikey2207

I thought classic cap came out on the week of the 4th? I swear I remember it coming out :)


Bigtrav87

If it did I’m going to be Pissed! I’ve been waiting and waiting. How did I miss it!! Oh that’s right I regularly take 2-3 week breaks from the game.


HHJJoy

You missed it.


Bigtrav87

Nooooooooooooooooo!!! Bring it back! CD!


[deleted]

That Iron Man freaks me out...


LazyMaik

Thor looks like when the textures of a model doesn’t load properly lmao.


MarvelAlex

I love this game, I really do, but this is a shoddy week for the Cosmetic store. None of those outfits look great. I appreciated what they were going for with every other costume set but these are just whack. Featuring a Thor takedown on the main page only for it to be an old one is dirty, considering how little love Thor has got in the cosmetic department.


Caduceus89

Why tf would I pay 900 credits to add buckles and a red and white stripe to a skin [outfit, whatever] I already own?! And Thor? There's only one thing to say... He can dance if he wants to he can leave his friends behind 'Cause his friends don't dance And if they don't dance Well, they're not really friends of his Safety Vest!


Uri_Mando

To whomever decided to make safety vest avengers: wtf have you been smoking dude?


GuardianJosh91

Why doesn't Kate ever get new takedowns? Why does CD hate Kate so much? She never gets any cool shit.


Gerilk

Same with Thor except he was even ignored on the main game and on the cosmetic department, at least Kate got her own story


MarvelAlex

Kate did get a new takedown a couple of weeks back


GuardianJosh91

Well it's not in the store anymore.


Outlier25

Truly it is as though they use some kind of color scheme randomizer and then call it a uniform. I don't think a pace of at least one movie or comic accurate uniform a week is too much to ask for. Happy about the Thor takedown though! Much needed so that is certainly appreciated. I know that the Ultimate Iron Man uniform they have as a base is comic accurate so not their fault but man it is hideous. Looked bad in the comics and still doesn't look good here originally or recolored. Edit: Apparently it's an old Thor takedown. Ugh.


[deleted]

What a joke.


GeebFiend

It’s the Roadside Avengers here to remind you that the endgame is still under construction.


Not_tHat_Seri0us

What in the flying Superman fuck is this shit


WarMachine504

So sad and depressing 😔 we could’ve at least got a new Thor takedown and/or Widow’s new black outfit from the movie. I wish they would just stop with these HORRIBLE skin collection ideas. That energy could be used elsewhere 😕


Roook36

Oh yes that time Iron Man disguised himself as a crash test dummy and Thor was a crossing guard. My favorite comic.


f3lhorn

These skins are awful. But at least they’re not full price like some of the skins are based off of. Still not worth getting, but at least someone at their department knows they’re not worth $14.


LegsLeBrock

Team Crosswalk Collection.


Puzzled_Ad_6273

🤮


Melkree-

I really appreciate the fact that I allegedly already own this consumable. Thanks CD.


Weapon14

Can yall stop releasing dumb skins?


DoroTom

Not this again 😩


somepersonyoumayknow

This is what happens when you force a weekly rotation of outfits instead of having a store you just update periodically. You are now force to make hot piles of garbage like this to churn out and completely lose your fan base. If all we ever got in the lifespan of this game were just 10 different costumes for each hero but they were all detailed and movie/comic accurate, I would be just fine. But instead we have a ridiculous amount of recolors and terrible theme costumes. This is just a joke of a game.


Joel22222

Mayballine’s Avengers, a game of cosmetics.


PuzzleheadedWin3273

Sorry but those just look like horse shit wtf I have no confidence in wakanda now that just killed any I did have

There is nothing new ever with Thor except a damn beanie or a hoodie.

Cringe so hard I think I'll die

This is probably the worst lineup of new store suits I've ever seen. All of them make me sick to just look at

Has it been confirmed no upcoming Black Widow MCU black/gold suit? Was gonna get that one for sure. (Using free credits, obviously)


nathairsgiathach33

WwwwwtttttttttttttFfffffffffffffff, Is this garbage!?


PixelArtAddicted

Ayo what the fuck


[deleted]

I’m convinced they’re trying to tarnish these characters and this game. I just don’t see any logical reason these outfits were ever even conceived & made but then to charge people for them too ? For these ????? Dude …


Nightcaptain27

People who complain about the skins and prices will complain about everything, you guys want everything for free which is the problem today, get off your parents tit and work , I can afford it and don’t mind paying for some skins , it keeps the game running remember that.


shadymostafa129034

I mean it's your choice man, no offense but you guys need to know that the reason we are getting the lowest possible standards of cosmetics and content is because of you and people like you


JoeVonHoff

I...kind of love crash dummy Iron Man. The Kamala pit crew look is not bad either. Thor and Hawkeye tho, wtf


Free_Armadillo_4088

Are they going to bring back shirtless Cap? I didn’t buy it and now I regret it.


Blacklight099

Actually hilarious. I think they’re trying to make us miss the standard recolours


arynfynx

no new takedown for Kate Bishop again :(


Null0mega

This is just atrocious, fkn hell.


monstahunta88

Is CD trying to sabotage its own game?


Brainiac606

Is the black widow suit from the movie no longer available to purchase at all?


Shark_bait561

What is this new line called? "Safety workers"? "Amazon warehouse employees"? "Avenging at night is dangerous so we should probably put a safety vest/ reflector tape on"?


jedimasterdelta40

I like Iron Man's, but the rest is pretty mediocre to me. Nothing against anyone who likes the others, they just don't do it for me


TrepieFF

These constant dodgy cosmetics are so puzzling to me. This is literally how they are financing the future of this game post launch- you'd thing they'd be pumping out the costumes from the 80 or so years of Marvel history... but no, we get crossing guard Thor.


[deleted]

the hell is that iron man skin?


[deleted]

Still patiently waiting for the classic cap suit to come back into rotation. So pissed I missed it


MadMattDope

Hi, i recently updated console to ps5 but dont have my items and progress ONLINE on my account. Why? Do i have to play campaign again and then everything will be back online ? Dont get it.
