seems like it doesnt really matter what character you choose to play the game unless you care about your appearance. well i have a interesting suggestion for this add a new weapon called Unique what ever it is is determined by the character you choose. im not sure about this idea though anyways i thought this idea would be worth a shot.

Weapon:
Name: Unique
Tier: 3
any stats below this would be balanced out by TI just so you know it can be anything from a pistol to a flame thrower type weapon or even a medic weapon and so on and so forth depending upon the character.

Wouldn't that be a little similar to "selling an advantage"? Since characters are DLC it would be kinda like selling weapons, so half the playerbase would end up with a wider array of weapons than the other half. Since Killing Floor isn't competitive I probably wouldn't be all that bad but I still wouldn't care to take that step towards paid updates. Tripwire has been really cool about providing free maps and such.

Such a feature would create diversity amoungst the community where players who bought all the DLC would have would more unique weapons choices, and therefore an advantage over players that didn't.

TWI have made it perfectly clear that they do not want to give players any advantage to players who buy DLC over players who don't, and I personalyl support them in this mentality. So I'm gonna have to say no to this idea.

Well maybe if instead of an unique weapon, just associate a re-skin of an actual weapon to that character, like:

Steampunk medic would have a re-skin on the MP7
Steampunk berserker; different skin on the katana or chainsaw

and so on..

I think that's not a big deal, but it would be a nice extra nonetheless

I remember reading somewhere that TWI would not sell DLCs that affect gameplay. So they stick to 'cosmetic' DLCs like character packs.

I respect that position as everyone is on an even play field.
