A week delay and a 40 minute video, and all we got was an overhauled character creator. Anyone else a little disappointed that this is all we got as an update?

Welcome to alpha open development.
If Intrepid were to stop work on the Character Creator and implement what they have on today's stream (3/31/22) , it still outshines many MMOs out there.
Lucky for players, there's still work to be done on it (e.g. improve the UI, add muscle features, and so on).
To be honest, I'm starting to get worried about my personal time sink in creating a character. xD
Maybe there's a chance Intrepid can allow Alpha/Beta testers to save a cosmetic template (one can only dream).
But seeing the quality they have put into something like a character creator - and expanding it into other systems in the game? FF14 retainers is the only other use of a creator in a game i've personally seen - and the idea that it will expand into animal husbandry and possibly more? That's pretty damn awesome.
dont expect a date on that imto till july/august im guessing it be like november
What i did hope for was maybe crafting news.
It's been quite well known information that the Character Creator would be very likely to be shown this month as it didn't make last month so they teased it for this month.
Surely that's your fault. They said several times that this month's update will contain the character creator. It's also a huge part of the game for a lot of people. If you don't read anything about the updates, you can't be disappointed.
Also, it may not look like 'enough' on the surface level to some people. But this character creation has an insane amount going on behind the scenes and it takes a whole lot of work to make something like this.
So, if you don't care about the character creator which according to you "will probably be changed and revamped again before launch", why would any other news/footage they share not be changed and revamped as well, thus making that news/footage "useless" as well?
Speak for yourself there dude
I think that character creator looks crazy. If every race has that level of detail and control, and the tulnar have even more than the rest, it really would top everything else on the market.
Be happy with the small things, because that may be all you will get for months in terms of information/content.
If you can't do this, then it's going to be a rough life following any game in development.
Sounds like your disappointment is based on your expectations. Might be worth understanding the nature of your expectations before laying them at anyone else’s feet as if they did something to you.
Not really much of a delay. And, we knew it was for the Character Creator.
We’ve been waiting to see it for a couple of months…and…it was better than we expected it would be for first pass demo.
So no, I was not disappointed.
Them showing off some amazing work in a game aspect that isn't your main focus shouldn't leave you disappointed, you'll still be making a character and its still relevant to you.
I have no interest in crafting or detailed character development but that shouldn't mean I would be sad that it's not pvp content being shown which would be my preference.
With that said, I'll stick this here as well. Disappointment is defined as "sadness or displeasure caused by the nonfulfillment of one's hopes or expectations."
I highly encourage you to stay tuned to our socials if you're excited about the game we're making, as we often try to help people when it comes to understanding what to expect from our development updates ^_^
Needs more fans. I am disappointed.
