[feedback] unpleasant looking character models

This is just a feedback and hopefully I don't come up as hyper critical, just honest. Anyways.. I have created a few characters and I have to say, they are not pleasant to look at, at all. I'm a woman and I like to play female toons. I was disappointed by the way the models look. They really look busted, like they have a drug or alcohol problem. In other words, they are ugly. The bodies aren't feminine enough either, basically a guy's body with breasts.

I realize this is the alpha phase still, but I have had flash-backs of LOTRO's old character models (and new as well, not that great even after the general graphic updates).

We need a little bit of everything in a game, some people don't care about what they play at all, I get that. So far though, I am disappointed by the character models.

Thinking about it, Intrepid saying 'X will be ready' probably should open them up to feedback on the 'X' in question even if they don't explicitly ask for it, and yeah, your point definitely wasn't about 'this should be done'.

In my opinion, Intrepid saying "X will be ready by Y" opens them up to feedback (criticism, even) on Y if X isn't in place by then.

If X is still not in place by Y (as is clearly the case here), criticism of X instead of Y (the timeframe) is pointless. At best, it comes across as sarcasm rather than feedback (you said the character creator will be ready by now, so I will give feedback based on what it is now even though we all know it has been delayed).

I agree with the OP. I too am real life female player (of many years of MMO's over many years) and I haven't played AoC Alpha for several weeks due to overall disappointment in a lot of things, one of them was the unattractive female characters skins. And before you all say 'Game's not ready yet, bla bla bla' well I have seen many attractive Male character about.. so the reason can't just be that they are 'still in development'....

nah , lets not get into how the alpha looks nothing like all the showcases we've been seeing for years , lets just talk about the character creator that was shown to be working and somehow had a bit better looking models 3 years ago but lets say that all of that is fine , the character creator is bugged and unfinished thats fine that dosent change the fact that it was their choice to make the characters hideous because it would take the same amount of effort to put the same very limited options the CC have right now but with actual good looking models where no matter what you create unless you go the extreme you will still get a decent looking character but its the exact opposite.

I swear, one day people will understand what an alpha is - and more importantly, isn't - about.

Bold of you to assume people think!

I mean you'd think the alpha phase if for feedback, indeed.
