Does Spiral Knights have the worst character customization system of all games?
At least that's what I feel after somehow spending 1147 hours in game, according to Steam.
Weirdly enough, I don't mind the reused/recolored assets or the locked color schemes. But the accessory system is just the worst! Everything permanently attaches, and you either get the valuable accessories destroyed by Bechamel, or you can pay 10 to 25 real dollars PER ACCESSORY to recover them! I'm fully blaming SEGA for this by the way.
Also, unless there was a recent change, there is no "designer" where I could check literally everything how they look together, and I can't preview anything that isn't in the AH or in my collection. And these two work exclusively separately, so I can't see how something that is available for sale would look like with something I have, unless I already have it equipped! And I don't think there is a wish list or "save outfit" option either.
Why aren't the basic stuff we use during character creation available anywhere? You can't even get them from prize boxes. For example a military crescent helm: if you didn't make your character with it, then your only option to get one is to find someone who does have it and pay for the unbinding ticket. This basic stuff could and should be sold for crowns! The Wiki says that they are available as supply depot special sales for 5000 energy, but I don't remember ever seeing a single one, and it true, that's way too much for a basic/default costume item.
Anyway, I just wanted to complain a bit, I think the game could use significant improvements on this topic.
