A bit more character eye candy :-0?

[SimonTheMime]

I really like what (the previous MMORPG I played) Lineage2 has done with their character graphics (example 1, example 2, example 3, example 4), maybe something similar can be done in the final PlaneShift when/if new characters are added?

Isn\'t that Elf from UnderPower?

Those character models are extremely high poly. You\'re welcome to make PS some meshes as damn good as that, if you can, but untill then we work with whatever we can get from the 3D dept.

Hmm, I would agree...meshing around is fun hahaha.

But we had a thread about the near nudity that was seaping into games...I\'m all for it...but thats because most were against it

[PiVale]

well, they shure look different


i think that in this kind of game, graphics aren\'t the most important...but hei! those ones are a joy to my eyes    


if we could have chars like that, fine. if we don\'t, we aren\'t going to miss it that much

[Draklar]

I miss Lineage 2 clothing
Oh well I even prefer the looks of light elves from L2 than the fairy dermorians from PS :\\

I don?t see any problems with the near nudity subjects but that is beside the point, I really like the clothes they have in that game Lineage 2    
Who wouldn?t want to see some of THAT in Planeshift

How about just the ability to change the look of your character locally, and upload the modified files to the server or everyone else\'s clients.  That probably sounds unfeasible, but I just think it would be nice to not have everyone in the same race to look exactly the same.  We could just edit our race\'s texture files as a basic example.  A more elaborant example would be a type of \"paint shop\", like the racing games have, that can be used to customize colors and stuff.

If you think about hair or eye colour, then it will come later on... after all the game is far from finished

We would end up with a 10000GB game full of people running around with \"1\'m t3h 1337z0rz!!!!\" written on their faces

Good point, I figured that it was unfeasible.  It\'s really no different than the different \'mods\' I have to download for CoD or BF:1942.  Those are set to auto-download.  The only difference is that the mods are usually huge, because they are landscape textures or new maps entirely.  I was hoping that the texture files for the characters were much smaller, but I guess in the worst case scenario, if there were 100,000 players that you encountered that had a custom skin, you\'d have to download 100,000 skins, and yes, that could be a problem.

Isnt this like character customization?

[Foresteer]

Personaly from just listening around and getting a general feel of things its becoming a mainstream thought that onna these days a MMORPG is gonna have you naked till you find some armour or undies XD and personaly i dont mind it (online nudist colony WOOP WOOP!!) but with full character custimization (like body fat) that would be as disturbing as fun and realistic :/

oh well i would like some more eye candy (for the ladies too gotta be fair we get \"s3xx0rz ch!x0rz\" they gotta get some \"h4wt d00ds\" too )

[Altharion]

no real girl would wear clothing like that into battle.

[Merdarion]

But all those transsexual males.
