petition for skin

the skin of Santa Claus, duck, princess, or other nonsense have nothing to do in this game
it totally destroys the adult atmosphere of the creation's ashes
it destroys the game's rp
we don't want a game for 10 year olds
we want the developers to respect the lore of ashes of creation.
steven may think it's cool, but it's just ridiculous
sign the petition
ask all of you to stop this childishness
otherwise soon we will have lollipops and candy canes

No one tell him about Stuffertons.

Agreed, I said it was the worst months skin pack I have ever seen recently, and it gave me the same fears.

It is yet another sign that nothing about this game's ridiculous lore should be taken seriously. People keep using lore to defend stupid things about the game. This is another example that proves lore will be fluffed to put anything the devs like in the game at any time.

Do you want widespread use of client-side mods that remove all cosmetics?
Because this is how you push people to make that shit as user-friendly as possible.

I love Ashes as a game so far, but I hate this Christmas shit.

They took a perfectly good opportunity to come up with an original winter holiday with its own theme and colors. To instead just do what is well known.

It doesn't get much more boring than that.

If they can say no to bikini armor or no giant swords to preserve the aesthetic of the world, then they sure as hell should not be putting in Santa outfits and stuffed bear mounts... IMO

I think the kid argument is pretty dumb. It might come as a shock but kids play video games,. You played video games as a kid and kids will play this game.

I just want a coherent art direction. I'm sure there are people that think a magical motorcycle would be a cool mount but it absolutely doesn't fit the current art direction. Just because people enjoy it doesn't mean it should be in the game.

Now the Santa suit is no where near as bad a a magical motorcycle would be but it does near the line of not acceptable without crossing it for me, while the teddy bear mount absolutely crosses the line for me.

My biggest problem with the Santa suit is that while it's not so bad seeing it during the holiday season. Seeing Santa in the middle of Summer would be a bit jarring.

Now it might not be so bad since it will be pretty rare as there aren't many people buying packs right now. But if they are willing to add a Santa suit this year what about enxt year? Now there are two different Santa suits and it gets more popular, it slowly get worse and worse as the years go on.

That is the thing. "Coherent art direction"

The devs say they don't want silly shit in Ashes. Then get people who don't like silly shit excited enough to back the game... Then they put silly shit in the game... It's not a dealbreaker for me personally, but I am not going to ignore it. I like Intrepid, but I am willing to call them out when they are wrong. I would not be surprised if the swords slowly get bigger, and we start seeing more and more skin as those cosmetics sell.

If they told me it was going to be FFXIV or Tera crazy from the start, it would be fine. I like those games. What I don't like is being yanked around.

I dont like them, but by the time there will be around 10-15 10k player servers, nobody will care about the 200 ppl world wide that have those skins.

Good point! Also, the sort of person who would buy that skin would likely be too busy wearing any number of other crazy skins at any time. I did say in another thread that this might be the rarest skin.

Stufferton and the corgi are the worst for me... i dunno how to fix stufferton. I had an idea for the corgi though. The art style likes blended animals so what about a Corgipillar (corgi stretched out with a bunch of legs). It has the cute fuzzy buttness of a corgi but its not just a plain ass corgi with a tiara. I dont get how its all raccoon gorilla owls and then some basic meme dog gets put in.

KOS. Emotional turmoil solved.

Dogs and cats exist canonically in the world of Verra. They were a Kickstarter stretch goal.

Pretty sure all character models had skin in the alpha.

I don't celebrate Christmas, but I did notice they went with the Coca-Cola advertisement.
Its a pagan holiday rebranded as Christian with a 20th century melt-in-your-mouth commercial coating. Really, a 'sacred' holiday with a mascot from a diabetes-in-a-bottle company.

Io Saturnalia!

Edit: real talk, that cinnamon coke is my favorite part of diabeteus-mus.

Why did my brain automatically just read: "Dogs and cats living together!"

You can't blame Christmas for a company deciding to use it for advertising.

It is a popular misconception that Coca-Cola shaped Christmas and Santa Claus.

Popular, yet still a misconception.

Coca-cola used it in the 1930's, yet all the pieces we recognize as Santa/Father Christmas/Saint Nicholas were all in place by the 1880's - even the color scheme.

So, really, Coca-Cola just repurposed a 50 year old concept in the 1930's, in the hopes that people would associate their product with Christmas.

Seems it is still working, 90 years later.

I find it really odd people would spread the misconception Coca-Cola wanted them to spread, but in a way that is disdainful towards both Christmas and Coca-Cola. Seems to me it would serve the purpose better to instead spread the truth, that Coca-Cola successfully usurped Christmas rather than shaped it.
