How to balance what content is available and when so that gameplay isn't sacrificed.Please feel free to list them.
Just make cosmetics only? And taunts? No weapons or powers or anything like that. Shouldn't change the game mode at all. Just people will be dressed up.
Just try to avoid HEAD hats, like hats that change the head(Example would be an astronaut helmet.) So it doesn't mess up the hitbox for headshots. Cowboy hats, base ball caps, TF2 hats, fedoras and other crap should be fine.
Maybe have pins/stickers/badges people can put on their bodies as well?(Could also be neat. Maybe make a regular. VIP, admin, etc)
Maybe make... brony stickers/pins/badges
That would certainly attract some people. lol
I think it'd be cool if people could go full out on being customized. Feet, hands, body, pants(?), head. I don't think any servers do this? Usually just hats. Sometimes skins.
However I imagine having this many options might take a lot of time to make. Or might be too hard. And another downside is the download might be huge? (I don't know too much programming. So I don't really know.)
Oh and maybe have drops?
One server I've been going on sometimes gives hats to you for playing.(Though I don't know how you would make this. Maybe every 4 hours of gameplay they get extra points/a random hat? Idk)
