Ways to revert the Elin back to how they should look?

I dont even plan to play an Elin first, I at least dont plan to make one my main. But since I will play one (I usually try all races in a MMO) Ill wait until there is a mod and it is working without getting banned before buying and subscribing.

But an answer if people will be banned when they change models would be great so I could be sure if keeping checking the game is worth it. And yeah something like this matters to me, didnt buy Left4Dead because it is censored where I live nor any other game that I only get censored, I didnt even buy one of my most anticpated games ever because they released it on Origin. The world is big, there are many games worth playing.

So again, a conformation if this is modable or there will be a checkbox or even a paid DLC (I would spend money on this) would be great.

You proposed the idea first, yeah. I was just expanding upon it to an implementation degree. Honest was also not the best word choice in my post, reliable or reasonable would have worked better.
Oh, no. I didn't mean anything by that.

The only reasons I see that as not being an option are because EME doesn't even want to give people the perception the content is in game, and well... coding is a real b****.


With first I would agree - at last as being one of the reasons. I can only imagine how the ego of peron behind this awesome idea would be hurt.

Still, mishandling of Tera over last 3 years, regardless if it was Korea, Japan, or western barbarians - is astonishing. They pretty much repeated every mistake NC is known of (surprise, surprise ex-NC people ...), and added a few brand new ones of their own (and that's really sad, recalling the hype they generated back then).

As for coding, hell no. Not with unreal engines - not even if their code was a horrific labirynth of unmaintainalbe mess. There're far more difficult/complex alternate choices and combinations of things already possible in the game (or even its de-facto predecessor). Even suggesting that something like that could be difficult, should grant instant "you're fired" ticket.


As Tera-Europe "sneak-preview" has been so far a stunning failure, I did some image comparisons with imagemagic and some cute shell magic.

Overall, all main body textures are modified (excpet not-enabled mizugis):

- all cases of normal panties are replaced with boxers, regardles if it fits the style or not
- almost all skin is covered

legs / hands / tails / etc. survived this nonsense unscratched, as far as I can see. On a related subject, texture resolution of our little poporis/elins are like if we had 2003 ... ehh. At least bigger races have something more resembling current year, though it would seem korean team has problems with concept of not only using udp for realtime stuff, but simple zoom on visual side as well ...

Have fun with full elin diff :p

S'alright, didn't think so either but it doesn't hurt to try to push it as an idea that the Elin community supports as a reasonable approach to finding how the player base actually feels in order to reach an agreeable solution to the matter.

since EME is censoring things, may as well censor the body movements as well right?... its too sexy for little girls to move like that , let them stand still .oh and tone down on the thick legs too , its not " appropriate " for little girls to have legs as thick as those. I mean , they are only fictional characters am i right?, -__- thanks alot EME (im exaggerating by the way). lol

Stop! Don't give them ideas or we might end up with super stiff not even remotely suggestive animations.

Man, the race forum turned into a gong show once this thread got stuck on the second page.

This thread had some pretty good discussion and suggestions. Having it stuck on page to and not bumped is disappointing.

This liquified horse is still getting beaten? -.- ; That petition isn't going to do crap. Do you honestly think after the multiple 200-300+ page threads of a few people on both sides ping ponging repeated walls of text back and forth for a year and the polls did nothing that some little petition is going to do anything? All of this nonsense is just people venting the same crap into empty space. It's already been said they're not listening to any "feedback" (if you can call nothing but chanting "revert to originals nao" feedback) until the finals are released which is pretty much not happening till release from the looks of things. Also for the millionth time the idea of a checkbox or toggle option has been shot down countless times by EME for reasons I've been sick of repeating since the millions of times people kept asking for it in the old forums.
