Cosmetic war paint should be permanent until soaped off or death, remove timer

Cosmetic war paint with no stat boosts should not be on a timer at all, if it’s cosmetic then allow us to apply it and only take it off if we soap it off or are killed

I remember when they patched war paints but also made cosmetic war paint have a timer……there is honestly no reason what so ever for cosmetic warpaint to be on a timer like the buff warpaints

Please funcom let us just keep our cosmetic warpaint on

soaped off? U dont swim , u dont run sweat , there is no rain/storm - well i agree to no timer but then lets made it realistic not like only soaped off -
When u jump in water it washes off,
if u go in storm or rain - washes off
if u sprint too much till stamina drain - sweats off :smiley:

This is what @HrothgarFrosthound was talking about:

Realism is not a bad thing to have in a game, but games should be fun above all. The decay on cosmetic war paints serves no purpose I can discern, and it actually makes the game less fun.

All in all, I wouldn’t be too concerned about the realism of a permanent cosmetic war paint in a game where you can carry 20 brick walls and a rhino while you fight an undead dragon buck naked.

I think we’re ok there, the old warpaint I’ve experianced doesnt wash off from sweat and water.

I’m talkin actually traditional aboriginal paint for a ceremony with traditional materials used, that stuff took days of scrubbing to get off lol, the old stuff lasted a long time.

Plus a warrior probably wouldn’t want any paint that would run from a little sweat or water, I’ve gotten tons of cam paint in my eyes when i was with the infantry and hoooooooly hell that sucks haha

For what it’s worth, the decay on warpaint has always suited me fine - I don’t much like the warpaints and only tend to do it for the journey step, so having it wear off is convenient. That said, sloughing fluid exists as an option for people like me, so I wouldn’t object to it being more permanent for those that want it.

I do a lot of irrigation work with PVC, and I can tell you Purple Primer stays on your skin pretty much until you shed it off. If Funcom ever did branch out and bottle a sloughing fluid, I’ll join the Kickstarter.

I like the idea, I agree. However not a month ago someone suggested tattoos, I would like to have my 1st choise religion tattoo always and from the character creation to be able to put it wherever I want :wink:.

Haha that was me who suggested tattoos😝 i figured they should let us pick from any of the warpaints on character creation as a permanent tattoo (of course they should have other tattoos to)

I kind of like that they wear off on their own, but I think it happens too fast.

I would love to see the time extended, or maybe just make it so it doesn’t wear off until you log out

If we can’t have an extended time for sone reason I would prefer permanence to the ultra short seeming timer we have now

Fiddling with server settings can let your character and thralls have cosmetic warpaint with incredibly long timers before they wear off. Around 24 hours or so of real time.

I wholeheartedly support this plea!

Finally the sloughing fluid would serve its purpose. I never even touched it so far.

Perfect business opportunity to partner with Dr Squatch…

Is there a line of code somewhere, or a admin command for the warpaint length? The fact that it has a timer would indicate something like that. Although it would probably be for all warpaints, both functional and cosmetic.

@FastJohnny , Not some months ago I remember one pc admin complaining about an update that changed this option. Tattoos he said something about it, that before the update in his server the tattoo was removed only by death, still I can’t remember more details about it. I am pretty sure however that moderator can do this in his mod and it would be very handy.

Item spoil rate scale, drop it to 0.1 and you won’t have to worry about warpaint.

I agree with this idea, I currently never use the warpaints at all because they dissapear so fast, seems like a waste of time

I’m always in warpaint(forgotten tribe) so it’s definently a major headache, espeacially on siptah since my paint needs desert berrys and there so rare on the island, none have dropped seeds for me so it’s getting to be a hell of a pain

Stick a handful of fresh berries in the dryer - it will give you seeds, which you can then grow to get more berries than you started with :slight_smile:

Unfounately, berries turn into dried berries in the dryer unlike other plant.
