Guest skin update (or it's a bug)?

Postby broforce1 » 16 November 2020, 15:15

hi, i was playing MP today, until i have noticed that there are some guests with unusual skins that the guests cant choose as well, like,they can just choose most of the OG skin of the game like, (usurpations, falkoks (red, normal), civil securities (lite & heavy) and cyber grubs), some of these skins art TDM too, other skins arent choosable for guests.

so what i saw today is some guests with not the skins that we know that guests can choose these skins as well like, (silk, human soldier, TDM noir lime and the Raven skin as well) and here's a proof:

so i encountered that once but i didn't got the idea of taking a screenshot for the topic, but in the second encounter, here's the first preview:

another encounter as well as you can see:
Spoiler: Show More


well i thought it's april fools or something, but we are not in Aprils so i don't know if eric did this, eric was online from days ago i guess, so he got the idea of doing this, but we are not really sure until we ask a professional person who know about that, so please if anyone know about that tell me please if you know if that was a bug, and make sure that you know well, if you dont know then tell me that you are not sure so i would not know wrong. i guess it's some sort of bug, but if it's not, means that eric did this as a joke and he wanted to talk about that small update but he forgot, as soon as the days pass, i guess eric will remove it if it was a joke, if it's not a joke then it's a bug and then i guess eric will notice about as soon as he knows about that thing as well.

Oh hey look!

I got a proxy skin as a guest! OwO



So it looks as though it is real and yes I have encountered numerous other guests with such skins that usually shouldn't be but also there were that use default skins as usual.

This could be a april fools joke update or it may just be an update for the guest's skin roaster that is random however I do suspect it to have to do with user's profile skin, I managed to somehow get the same skin twice so maybe it has to do with the user's profile, I don't know I think it needs some tests to confirm that.

It's not a bug, I think guests got updated to have normal skins as other players.

I got the default marine skin when playing as a guest on stryde-sniper. I think it's an update.

Maybe guests will no longer be left out for all of the skins now.

They get to experience each one another for a taste and probably confuse a lot of players cause I heard some players were yelling hackers or fake guests just because they now have all skins. Lol

This could also mean that guests no longer have to make an account just to play a skin they once weren't able to but now they can except it's random and will come out at random just like the number ids so it's not really choosable and you kinda have to play your luck on it by joining a match and see what you got then leave and reenter as guest again to get a different outcome or simply using .guest on login and password probably allows a better chance to get something good?

I dont really found this idea so ideal, and my reason is that guests aren't unique anymore since they used to choose only certain skins. until we get used to it so it might be fine in the future, i will be just depressed to find a guest with marine skin but u just found one already, nvm.

i still do have a point tho, but i do agree it's a bit change for the first time in MP, i guess it's now not important anymore. but really still not feeling normal with that, a bit.

EDIT: now i clearly dont care anymore, cuz we used to it already.

Yeah I totally agree. But how come when I play as a guest, my skin is always the default marine skin with the sharp helmet?

Yeah, I also keep getting the blue proxy skin as shown in the screenshot.

You're not the only one who's getting the same skin type I guess so.

Surprisingly I think the number digits are still randomized unlike the skins which seem to go by our account? Or is it just always uses the same skins for whatever reasons?

Honestly I think people with accounts should get a 'skin pool' option for different skins for different matches depending on how many skins the user wants to possibly play as. To stay on topic, I like the idea, but wish it could change when the guest disconnects and reconnects back in the lobby.

Less reasons to register an account now. Seems to be a mistake.

I don't like it personally, it makes them blend more and lose their uniqueness.

yeah imo guests should exclusively be able to be the basic usurpation soldier and civil security light plus their red and blue versions.

Moved the topic to General discussion as it is more relevant there.

did you notice that the topic is duplicated?

btw it was moved to the bug section then to general again and the topic got duplicated on bug reporting for reason and it seems to belongs to the general, not the bug section.

but before i lock it i gonna make sure that i won't lock the one on the general discussion by mistake lol
