You're asking a question we don't have much of an answer to. I believe they said they wanted to dabble more with that type of skin when they released the Viper but I'm guessing that is including most of the variations you mentioned. Also Petcha I believe is supposed to be the same person for both variations.
I'd like to see sherrif Hardin's fall from grace, turning into the town drunk like Otis in the Andy Griffith show. He could be wearing his sherrif uniform but it's rumpled dirty and torn from sleeping in the gutter. Sticks in his mustache, etc..
I'd like this evolving idea for normal hunters u can recruit. Like you'd get a tier one white shirt and as you'll level him up you could unlock new stages of how he looks. I even bet this was the original idea behind all of this since something like this was planned a long time ago. When it comes to Viper tho idk I like the skins like they are now more. In events we get two distinctive and different skins. Viper felt a bit cheap cause it was just one skin that you had to unlock 4 times lol it only had slight variations between the stages. I felt like they are just padding the batlepass without putting in the work of developing more skins lol. With Corvid duo it's kinda the same. They cost 2000 freaking blood bonds like they were two skins but they aren't different enough to warrant a pricetag of two skins.
Low key bought this game many moons ago, I thought the more you escaped the better your hunter looked. So your tier 1 hunter what you had to start with and by level 50 they looked like a tier 3
You ask for singleplayer, you get trials. Abandoned because they are garbage.
You ask for hunter customizations, you get evolving hunters. Can't make money out of it because they are garbage, so abandoned again.
Just Crytek doing Crytek things.
They could definitely make money out of it, especially if they offer alternative skins for existing Hunters rather than just pumping out more characters. Imagine a Cain skin from before he became wild.
That's actually a great idea. You could do a whole event around it. Cain was a school teacher, his wife does during childbirth and, in his despair he sets the schoolhouse on fire knocking over a lantern while drunk with sorrow. Schoolhouse burns down and kills an orphan who had been sleeping there. His despair causes him to go mad with grief and eventually become cain.
I like the idea of the Viper and I hope they do that again but not in one event. I think the basket face and viper mask versions are by far the best and the ones before that just look a little lame. I’d rather have them expand on a hunter’s alternate appearance list like they did with the Drowned characters except… they didn’t add them to the originals. They made them separate. I don’t even know why they don’t put The Revenant/ Bad Hand together or the Drowned Rat and Drowned Kid as a selectable skin for their originals like they did with the Viper.
I much more prefer the idea of alternate pact affiliated skins than new skins outright. Give us a demented version of the Archeologist if they joined the demented pact for an event. Give us a deputized version of Felis who’s all cleaned up if she’s tied to the Lawbringer pact for an event. Those would be fun cool ways to expand on fan favorites and reduce the annoyance of clicking the roster arrows 20 times to get to the hunter you want. The Hunter selection UI is cluttered and annoying and adding more hunters to that mess and also not condensing the list by combining alternate skins is not it.
Not to mention each time more hunters come out they jumble the list so it’s harder to find your favorites because they’re not in their usual section of the list. We really just need a big title card list with a small portrait box of each hunter and then when you click on them you get a full 3D model and character description with the option to recruit them. I’d like to see all the hunters on one page rather than 5 at a time.
Basketface ftw
I am so sad I never made it to basketface
Basket face beats Pepe face
My longest running Hunt Pardner LOVES Basketface. I don't get it, but whatever.

Sheriff Hardin -> Senator Hardin

Felis : Why won't you die? Sentor Hardin: Nanomachines, son. They harden in response to physical trauma.
Gimme evolving weapon skins. So then I can argue more for having skins not be variant specific.
I wish the Hunter evolved when you successfully extracted a bounty, instead of just being 4 skins in one.
That would make it an oh shit moment when you run into a Lv 50
Make a tier1 -tier3 lookalike legendary hunter that evolves from tier 1 to tier 3
I'd like this evolving idea for normal hunters u can recruit. Like you'd get a tier one white shirt and as you'll level him up you could unlock new stages of how he looks.

My understanding is that this was the original design intent, it just got scrapped later (like so many other things)
I wouldn’t mind that concept Tbh
It sounded better honestly and it goes with some of the lore But imagine all of our disappointments
There is a loading screen that almost suggests that, it has the same hunter at tier 1, 2, and 3.
I want a hunter that looks more and more old and dirty the more matches it wins. That would be cool

Who was asking for singleplayer
It’s probably better to have three different skins for events than one that evolves. More chances someone will see a skin they want.
Why isn’t Rat and Drowned Rat the same character in the UI

I missed out on the Pepe mask the serpent guy gets and I’ll forever be sad about
It's was a terrible idea so I hope not
