Get rid of humanity and allow everyone to choose a skin they want.

I think the humanity system is a bit silly. It doesn't do anything except give you better camouflage when you are killing people. I say get rid of humanity and let people select from a menu on how you want to look. When everyone looks different (for the most part) it will be that much harder to tell who is good or bad just by looking at their appearance.

For example, as a survivor, I spawn wearing the default skin with a brown vest and blue pants and other times I have a black hat, shirt, vest, and forest green pants. I prefer the black outfit, but it's random if I get to wear it when I enter a server.

I just think this would give people a little bit of customization and you wouldn't be able to judge a book by it's cover.

Yeah, I agree.

On short term, yeah that would be a neat idea. On long term, I would still like the player's play style to determine the way they look. Rocket was talking about some faction stuff, which might do just that.

Concur. I'd much prefer character appearance to be user selectable. Should also help alleviate the whole model-change bug out and gear loss.

I agree, but I still think there should be some sort of humanity system to let other players know who has awful karma, maybe make their name a different color or put some sort of subtle visual indication? It adds more tension and uncertainty to not know who is "good" or bad, which I think adds to the overall purpose of this mod: emotion.

Id like to pick my own skin also. either thru some in game menu when you make a new character, or thru the lobby at worst.

You can't see the humanity of a person right now and by changing their name color, it would just be like people seeing a bandit skin and shooting at them, just because of that.

It wouldn't add more tension to the game if you could see that they were a bad person from just looking at them. It would add more tension if you couldn't tell them apart from everyone else.
