    Intro:
    Many old players such as myself, have an excessive amount of credits with nothing to spend them on. Unless gifting credits is added, we can't use them for anything, thus they have no value. With this, I would like to suggest a new idea: class-specific cosmetics, regular flag/trail particles, and match flag/trail particles. These new cosmetics will be able to be bought with credits, and will not be cheap (~50k), they also should not affect gameplay.

    Class-specific cosmetics will only be purchasable after buying the class, regular match particles would be available to brand new players (their choice to purchase them), and finally team match particles will be even more expensive, credits from team members will be combined.


    Class-specific cosmetics:
    I have only thought of a few ideas for this, but I am sure as time passes, new people will come up with more.

    - Medic healing and note block sounds
    When a medic is healing someone, every time they land a hit, a note will be played, until the other player is fully healed. All players will be able to hear it. (60k)

    - Elf armor sets
    Different coloured sets of armor. For example: "Bubble gum suit" would be pink purple and magenta. Players will not choose colours, colours will be set up already. The only issue with this is a mixup with fashionista. (50k per suit)

    - Pyro fire tier armor sets
    Similar to the elf armor sets, except there will only be 4 sets. 1st Tier - Red, 2nd Teir - Orange, 3rd Tier - Yellow, 4th Tier - Combination of tiers: red boots, orange pants, yellow chestplate and helmet. Each tier will only be able to be purchased if the player has the previous one, except 1st Tier. (40k per suit, 160k for all)

    - Ninja flashbang particles
    !May affect gameplay!
    Instead of having the standard explosion particle when the egg hits something/someone, players can purchase different particles. Some particles may be more expensive than others: particles like magic crit, enchantment particles, and snow shovel will be 50k; angry and happy villager particles and slime particles will be 70k; heart particles will be the most expensive at 100k.

    - Assassin trails
    !May affect gameplay!
    A redstone trail that will be long (or atleast longer than regular and match trails) that will be activated when the assassin uses sugar. If an assassin has the flag, only the regular or match trail will activate. (100k)


    Regular flag/trail particles:
    This cosmetic is a team accessory, and will only be for regular matches.

    I once saw a staff member put particles around a flag in a flame shape with different types of particles. This idea is exactly that along with trails with the same particle as the flag decor that will follow the flag carrier (of the opposite team) until he/she captures the flag or dies. When a player on a team captures, if their team has this cosmetic activated, and explosion of their particle will occur. This cosmetic is for 1 team only, and will have preset names.

    Whether there 1 or more players with this cosmetic, the game will announce a message when the game starts stating who's particle has been activated: "<playername>'s <particle cosmetic name> has been activated!". If there is more than 1 player with this cosmetic, the game will randomly choose a player who has the cosmetic for the team and will announce the same message.

    Any player will be able to purchase this cosmetic. (150k)


    Match flag/trail particles:
    This cosmetic is also a team accessory, and will only be for team matches, and official CTF teams.

    This cosmetic is the same idea as the previous with the flag decor, trails and capture explosion, however, more customizable. The team leader will choose a custom shape for the flag decor and can choose to have one particle or a combination of particles, they can also choose a pattern for the trail.

    Unlike the regular particle cosmetic, when the game starts the game will announce the team's name along with a custom name/short statement for the particle cosmetic: "<teamname> has activated <particle name/statement>!".

    Team members can combine credits to purchase this cosmetic, I suggest some type of 'team credits bank' be added for this. (800k price may have to raised since most players have 200k+ credits).


    Conclusion:
    From someone who has been playing CTF for ~5 years, I think these cosmetics will be a huge uprade for CTF, and a step forward for brawl. Although I was able to make this thread in a couple hours, I know developping them will not be the same.

    Some of these cosmetics may not even be possible or may cause too much lag with all the particles, but I just wanted to introduce the idea of in-game cosmetics specifically for CTF.

    If you've read this entire thread, I'd first of all like to thank you, and secondly ask you to leave your opinion/suggestions/complains below and make a vote in the poll.

    EDIT (based on suggestions): Prices will be lowered by half or more, maybe have levels/tiers for cosmetics.

    uhh I suggest not using white/light text for people who use the light version of the forums (like myself).

    Edit: This idea has been suggested many times before, and I think it's a very good idea to implement this, as I have lots of credits. I think the prices you've suggested are too high imo, but it's debatable. Considering classes themselves max out at 30k per class, having all the cosmetics be more expensive than the class themselves isn't right. Overall however I like the ideas, especially the team/match trail particles.

    I apologize for the white text, I barely go on the forums, but about the prices, I suggested they be high because if they were too cheap, most players would be able to buy all of them, but looking at them now they are too high.

    If you leave it normal without changing it, it will be black for light users and white for dark users. Then change the titles.
    (This sounds kinda rude ^^ sorry :c)

    I think definitely lower the price on the cosmetics. I think they should be like 20k-100k? depending on what type of cosmetic the are. Have them like common types, uncommons, rare, ultra rare, and legendary?
