Forum:Customizing without ruining the game

Firstly I appreciate this is a 'done' topic but i feel people are going the wrong way around customizing their guns. A work bench would be great in theory, sthere are a ton of almost-perfect guns but isn't that the whole point of this game? So I want to put it to GBox guys (and you Wiki guys) how about Guns come with equipment slots. I'm talking socketing like in Diablo 2 or world of warcraft. Not every gun would come with such sockets but for instance; a weak hellfire with 3 sockets could end up better than a strong hellfire with none. This would satisfy peoples need for uniqueness in their armoury without making the game into 'borderbench' Also, should you be able to hotswap the sockets or are they perminant? Maybe you could get some from certain sidequests or grinding certain bosses over and over. I've never seen a reason for the side quests other than for completion...

People’s views are very welcome, also peoples ideas for sockets, I’ve thought of the basic: add X4 corrosive etc and making ‘twisted’ as socketing thing instead.

It could also be stupid things like the 'holy crap it shoots rockets' to be put on a machine pistol with a low chance of firing.

This doesn’t have to be for DLC but maybe BL2? What do you guys think?Danzig1138 10:44, April 19, 2010 (UTC)
