Personal opinion... the art looks like recent 5e DND art....and that isnt a compliment.

You don't like the art by committee approach, with any traditional trope that acts as an anchor being actively subverted? Idk, I enjoyed laughing when I saw the Vaelune and said "self-insert" 😂

I am purely talking by quality here but you did make me chuckle.

Yes, before looks really better

I agree that the art style is subpar compared to before.
The races page also needs to be reviewed by a copy editor. Misuse of commas and run on sentences everywhere. You don't put a comma before 'and' when there's only two things, and there's a few parts that go "A, B, and C, and D" (two 'and's)
I hope this writer is nowhere near the in game writing.

They all look….how best to put it….

Like they are all going to a fantasy aged fashion show….

I prefer my races a little bit more visceral, especially races like orcs/ beast races. They should NOT look quaffed and primped. Now an elf race, sure, you can make them like that. People who like that kind of thing tend to play those types of races.

You may want to look that up. You absolutely put a comma on, “and”, when there is only two things.

Middle one looks cool as hell though.

Oh there’s a ton of spelling mistakes on some of the alpha two archtype skills if you zoom in and read them on this page. It’s not a big deal but just needs someone combing over it before they post no worries.

Most style guides, including the Chicago Manual of Style, MLA, and APA, recommend against using the Oxford comma in lists with only two items. This is because the absence of the comma does not lead to ambiguity or confusion.

Examples

Correct: I like food and beer.
Incorrect: I like food, and beer. (unnecessary comma)

That said wtf happened when the artist was drawing the tusks on the samurai orcs

There's a set right under the nose

I’m going to be honest the art style looks kind of shit and character models. The human looks the best and the elf looks kind of withered like they’re been doing meth. Sorry I had to say it the art style is way too cartoonish compared to other games I’ve seen releasing before this!

2025 soon fix it before it’s DOA.

The 3D models for the races have been solid so far with the visual variety, plus we'll have so many (perhaps too many) sliders and options to fine tune the characters as desired.

The 2D style going on there definitely needs some work for the Renkai orc and the dwarves specifically. Looks way too much like smooth, shaped clay to me. The humans look great tho right now so I'm not sure where that discrepancy in quality came from.

I don’t see an issue with it being a woman or what colour their skin pigment is as that’s kind of shallow and hateful. However I do have issues with a game that could look a lot better and the art style, design, animations and character models could definitely be better. Considering the time scale we are going to get this game in it will probably already look somewhat outdated.

I get they’re on a budget plus it’s still only alpha or whatever but I’m just being realistic sometimes it makes me feel like not even bothering with MMO’s anymore. Would have been nice if this game was the space in the market that it’s supposed to be, however sometimes you’ve got to be realistic and bite the bullet.

I’m just going to have to take your word for it and hope for the best. I’ll either play it or I won’t depends how everything turns out, but I’m just kind of tired now of getting my hopes up. All these games with their marketing campaigns that looks or plays nothing like the game. Honestly I’m just bored of all these terrible games at this point it’s like I’m not having fun anymore it sucks but it is what it is.

I can forgive the visuals of the game itself is good and has a solid writing team, but they've gotta steer clear of the clay-like smoothness and the janky animations. I'm hoping we'll see improvements on the animations of big mobs in Alpha2 right around the corner, and I definitely hope these 2D changes remain solely on the website. I don't want a wax figure game avatar.
