New Elin armor is about 3X cooler than any other race's...

I just did some reading on some posts I missed. Apparently the censored Elin armour took the same amount of time as the originals and were done by the same artists. I don't see how that's even possible.

Changes take the same amount of time as making an armour modelled from nothing? When it's just a belly texture and a copied pair of shorts? How does the same artists spend the same amount of time on it and come up with something so poorly done aesthetically with clipping and graphical bugs? And it's not personal opinion about different tastes in style. Anyone comparing the Korean armour with the NA armour would obviously see a distinct lack of detail and reused shorts/belly covers. Even people not playing the Elin have stated how obvious it is.
It's not even plausible. I'm not buying it one bit. I wasn't expecting an explanation, but when something sounds this far fetched I can only call it out as being a lie and that's just not cool.

But that load of bs aside; point is it's quite easy and simple to make everyone happy. Yes, it is possible!
- If new armour like these can be created with such stunning aesthetic detail that everyone likes and appeals to the majority of the audience, that's presumably created by the same artists, it's baffling why something this amazing couldn't have been done in the first place when making the changes we're stuck with now.

The only logical conclusion is that it was done quickly as a cheap option to a problem that never existed. If it was done by the SAME artists in the SAME amount of time one would assume the SAME detailed quality would be produced like we see with these new armour designs. Heh. Well it's baffling how armour with full length pants still gets the belly textured over even when it's such a small amount. I extremely doubt that took more than 30minutes work.

And now they are taking content out because it's obviously too difficult to try and fix/improve something (Elin armour) so they just remove it entirely. People used the Box of Mischief and didn't like the Korean RNG mechanics so they removed the Box of Mischief? Enchanting is RNG. Crafting is RNG. Boss drops are RNG. And they're not forced to use them. They have a choice. Use them or just sell them. Removing them makes people who didn't like them happy, but anyone who like using them not longer has the choice.

I think it is more about people not approving of elin race because in modern days, violence against children is very bad thing and they see elin as children and that's why they don't like the race because in-game they get in fights and in fights they get hit and that's like children getting hit in their eyes.

EDIT: I don't see how changing the armor textures changes that.

That is because it is BS - I've done several modeling and texture art before, editing and changing something can take time if you take your time.

How ever seeing that they used the same pants model, the textures are the same and that the dye does not work properly is saying they did it quickly and did not even take the time to make sure the dye was working.

So the checklist so far:
Elin Morphs=Dye Function won't function right and the armor is downright hideous. Refuse to fix
BoP= Now restricted. Plenty of pointless dungeon runs
Box of Mischeft=Pow, Gone!
Pets in Selling Shops= Can't have that
[/quote]

The dye function is fine isn't it? Just the shorts under the armour is stupid.
So no more Bind on Pickups? Just BoE? Pretty dumb, have they stated somewhere they're changing this?
Don't even know what Box of Mischeft is...Lol
And where have they said they are removing Pet shops? WTB links to actual threats/posts from EME. People complaining on forums doesn't mean instant removal of an item.[/quote]

I think the dyes should be changed to work like in Minecraft.

I think they should cencor some of those castanic female models I mean like, why are people complaining about elin clothes while the castanic models totally would make normal woman feel bad about herself because if the game sets standards of female body type that "high", there's no chance 99% of population can cope with that.

But this also works the other way, I can't imagine why nobody has mentioned the overly sculpturous male models of this game, I mean, it would take years of workout to get your body to even be a fraction of the build the male modelsof this (and every other game these days) has. I mean, at least woman looking at woman model can come close to that, all she has to do is not to eat like a hippo every day. But a man actually has to see efford to get his body to "sex appeal" level, going to gym and obey a strict diet. And when they can't do that, they will feel bad.



What sized coffin do you want for that hole your digging yourself into :) ??

It's the placebo effect. You guys expect to hate it, which severely alters your perception. Not that that's all of it, but its certainly some of it.

I will admit, those models look half decent. However i reserve full judgement until i am able to compare them with the Korean counterparts.

They look as if they are still being rendered and need a few touch ups.

I bet the one in the middle is "too revealing" and won't even make it in...God I hate people...
