Damn, I thought I could actually get someone to say "How can they look Canadian when they're made in Beijing?" and then expose their prejudice... I guess I just suck at forum PvP

Edit: I am also drunk

clearly, the artists doing the new heads arent drinking enough.

finally, we've discovered the problem!

[Ms_Idoru]

I have not seen a single rework of one of the heads that currently look Asian though. So this is kind of an invalid point.

My sentiments exactly. Certainly no more so than the current versions of those heads appear.

@Means / Dev team.

I've probably missed something, but why aren't you using assets from AoC? Surely there's a tonne of NPC heads that can be used as 'stock filler' for solitus within game?

Even if you produce different meshes (aka, SF ones rather than muddy naked oiled barbarian skins) the underlying work is there?

That would be frowned upon



"lol FunCom sux so hard, they use same models and skins in 2 MMOs"

When one of those MMOs is over 10 years old, I don't think anyone would really care as long as the eye candy was good.

Oh, and you missed my point: the skins / textures would be different, the skeletons (maps) would be the same. So, in fact, you'd not actually notice them as the same.

[Vitaliy]

^ Also, alot of people like myself have never played AoC...so it would be like all new material

On a completely unrelated note....wtb on/off button for back items in game like the helmet one, sick of seeing robes!!!!

Heads in AO are 3D static models. Heads in AoC are used making a face generator and are fully animated.

Thankfully. It gets annoying seeing the same characters make the same facial expressions endlessly. Snarling atroxes... oh the joy.

I believe heads in AoC have only two "stances", neutral and aggressive.

[Worldofalts]

and heads in AO have only one stance: Oblivious

[PhoenixOfAges]

That wasn't so much about the heads shown so far. It's just that if people were flipping out over the perception that the heads were supposedly Asian just imagine what they'll do when they actually are since there would be some.

[Thanatosis]

Keep working on it Means, we await it, altho somewhat impaitently

Did your parents ever tell you to "stop making that face or it will stay that way"?

Since atrox were genetic creations & do not have parents, they were not warned & what you see is the end result.

[Cadey]

anyhow, heads look decent i am looking forward to the progres tbh. really wish FC would ditch the secret world and put more resource on AO :P

/Theo

Amen to that...

[Dasubervixen]

The new Solitus female seems to be in a very bad mood and I think I know why.

That head is dreadful.
