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 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.

Hopefully it’s not just people pleasing at the studio like you know how it is when you’re on the payroll you’ll obviously say it looks good. I hate to be negative as well as overly critical but the time-scale doesn’t look great nobody wants to play a cartoonish game that looks like WoW after 2025. I mean lately even New World looks like garbage to me so could be just my perception though I hope I’m wrong in any case it had to be said.

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.

Elfs have this sunken elongated face that they are trying to pass as stylization, which just looks horrible. Concept art looks better then 3d models.

Both in anatomy and armor/body ratio. I don't care if it's stylized. I just want quality, and for it to look cool. I don't mind more realistic styles either, but they aren't a requirement.

Dont mind stylized either, but I hate the way they do it. What bothers me is that it seems like its done by someone who is not comfortable with changing art styles.
