Revert 2nd Ear slot removal

Post by shyshadow » 15 Jun 2017, 19:27

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary):As the title implies, revert the update that removed the 2nd ear slot. While it changes the game very little, there are a quite a lot of uses for this little slot.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): Allows for easy carrying of a pen. It's more realistic, makes the job of a Corporate Liason easier, and it makes you look a lot cooler having a pen on your ear. Also it allows for a 2nd headset in case you ever want to listen on those pesky Russians when they plot and plan.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): It barely makes a It's easier to roleplay as a corporate liaison when you don't have to pocket the pen and it's quick and easy.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it): It's quite easy, just bring back the previous code that allowed it to exist in the 1st place.

Humans having a single ear is weird and non-sense, also i wanna look cool when playing CL.

Devs don't really like reverting their changes. I'm not a fan of cutting off everyone's ears though.

Curious why this happened in the first place.

+1 I miss my other ear, I usually use the other ear for another headset or something like that.

Yeah, want my second ear back. Also interesting to hear devs reasons which led to one ear being cut off.

Possible it was removed for redundancy, but I always liked listening in on other radios and sometimes putting a pen in the slot for utility.

+1. Second ear slot was convenient as a pen slot.

Denied.

It was removed for performance reasons and it is much better without the second ear slot.
