Males elves are... well ugly

First of all, this game is SO GOOD. i'm obsessed. I was super excited to play an elf, but then I logged in. I feel like they should all be named Skeevins. I get that you are going for a haughty look, but they just look disgusted to me.

I tried adjusting the arms to make one that looked more normal, and the forearms just blew out of proportion. IF you are going to make the antlers mandatory for the wood elves, please allow regular elves to look a bit more athletic.

    I’m assuming there’s an epic story in the Ashes JIRA with a summary of ‘Enable the real character creator.’

    everything in the character creator is well horrendously ugly, that being the base of the character creator should make you worry and lets not talk about the females or the armors ...

    I'm not overly thrilled with what they are showing for the female Tulnar. But I will need to see what I can do in the Character Creator before I pass judgement. I know they don't want cat girls, which I totally understand, but there is one that looks like a chihuahua, and I just can't get passed that.

    Character models aren't the focus right now, and I get that. I know that will come in time, but the models are a little off putting right now.

    I don't think everything looks ugly. I am quite fond of the way that my human dude looks. IMO they nailed the wavey surfer hair! (when it renders)

    Welcome to Ashes of Creation.

    Where every player character is ugly.

    You might have just discovered that whilst you are not xenophobic, you are a straight male. Congratulations ;)

    The Question Everyone is wanting to ask, i think ... ... ...


    ... ... is : ' when ' is this going to change, Please ?

    Because i am confident we all saw Showcases in the last Years and some which even went as far back as into 2018 and so on : where we got nice Visuals of Player Characters. ;)


    " When " also, Please -> can we expect things like that, for the Servers to test ?

    Can we even still expect this at all ? I mean : it sure would be insanely wasted Potential if we never get to see this Potential which was shown to us all these Years. :sweat_smile:

    I agree, but more so regarding the face than the body. The cheekbones are way too aggressive, there is a perpetual look of disgust I cannot get rid of as much as I scuplt, and the face over all is just way too angular. I am all for having those options, but I would really like to see more "normal" looking facial features for the elves.

    Maybe never?

    The devs haven’t done anything to reassure us that they’re not trying to make Concord 2 when it comes to character visuals.

    This topic is brought up constantly, but we still don’t get any answers.

    Issue is that the eyebrows jut out and skull shape is harsh. THINK OF SCOWLING HARRY POTTER BANKERS AND THAT IS ELVES CURRENTLY
