Skin sets and FX

[ShadowDuelist]

Sorry if this was previously suggested, but I was thinking it would be interesting to have skins sets that, when completed and equipped, give a unique animation or effect in the game that does not affect gameplay at all, just looks.

EG: Lets say glommy guise is instead of a 2 pieces set, a 4 pieces set which consists of the suit, the hat, and also boots and gloves. After grinding and exchanging and destroying your wallet at the market you get all 4 pieces, equip the 3 you are allowed to equip at the start of the game with no difference more than its look. But then if you equip the hat being in-game, having all set pieces gives you a bonus to look like if you were hovering like a glommer instead of walking, with tiny wings in your hat moving.
This wouldn't affect your movement speed, wouldnt allow you to move across places you normally can't walk, or anything like it. its just an animation replacer of the normal walk, as a bonus.

Other effects could be added depending on the set, such as sparkles (that don't prevent charlie from murdering you or emit any real light), rose petals that seem to fall off you and leave a tiny trail before dissappearing, a hutch-themed set that makes you drip goo when walking or using tools, scary sets that give shadowy effects around you, etc.
Again, all would be cosmetic and shouldn't change the gameplay capabilities of your character in any way.

Sounds like TF2 item sets.

Or unusuals.

Actually 'unusual' skins could've been cool. Because you know what is better than a cool reskin? A cool reskin ON FIRE.

Seriously though, I don't think Klei is going to implement new animations just for 1% of the playerbase that would have the entire item set. FX - more likely, but still...

I'd rather have them working on some new items or skins than adding an effect that is only visible if you have items x, y and z, all planets are lined up and it's full moon.
