It is very unpleasant when you do not distinguish your female character from someone else’s male character with similar weapons, it makes it a bit difficult to react to the mechanics in time.
To me it sounds like I have the same expectations from my pixalated character as i’ve been given in the past by 99% of MMORPGs.
Imagine going to a restaurant and they just throw ur food on the floor and expect u to eat it with ur hands… when you enter an establishment that carries a certain tag you will have certain expectations… just like entering a restaurant you will expect ur food to be placed in a container and not on the floor, when you enter a MMORPG you expect to have a character creator that gives you at least some basic agency, not one that gives you meaningless choices and makes everyone look like a clone of everyone else, including 99% of NPCs.
So the latest video of QnA dropped and they did not adress Character creation, Character Agency, Animations or Skins… in any way. Despite the question that i posed in the QnA post being one of the most upvoted ones. (But they adressed OPR maps twice for some reason… and gave no conclusive answer on that either).
I rly like the developers and I cannot stress enough how amazing they are presented in this videos, but when talking about objective things we need to take our feelings out of the ecuation and judge things objectively.
I think it’s safe to assume they have no intention to ever do anything about the Character Creator and the related issues that this creates, with time they will probably release better skins but the character creator/animations and such will never be looked at.
We can keep complaining about it
but realistically they will continue to ignore the problem even if 99% of their active population would be actively complaining about it on all social media outlets, it’s not within their power to do anything about it… and nobody is going to risk their livelyhood for a gaming issue.
Idk if @MichaeLovan wants to comment on the subject… he was pretty active on the forums before
and shown that he is passionate about his work. Also I’m sorry, Michael, if you faced any trouble for bringing up the subject.
PS: There was a dog in the studio
pretty fun workplace.
Yes I was disappointed that it wasn’t brought up to say the least. Especially after they said they pick questions that are brought up over and over again and this has been a long standing problem. I’m just biding my time for T&L, Quinfall, Pax Dei…
It is what it is… ![]()
TL internal testing is starting today
(AGS employees are allowed to play), but its going to be around 6-9 months before we will see a release in the west.
Similar or longer timeframe for Quinfall and Pax Dei… probably longer.
PS: I rly like NW, I think it has/had the potential to be one of the top MMORPGs by all means of meaasure… however atm to me it feels like a house that is missing a slice of it (like you can take slices out of an Architectural prototypes), and they have no intention of ever adding that slice to the game to make it a complete MMORPG.
We Give AGS a lot of crap for the way Character Agency is…
But I also think its important to aknowledge when they do things better so I wanted to point out the new Hood [that you get from Twitch] that actually looks much better then the previous “trash-bag” ones xD
So thank you AGS <3
New “Decent” Hood:

Old Style Hood:

Its not perfect or anything ![]()
But i feel like its an improvement
and that should be appreciated.
Edit: Changed the image so it has the same outfit easier to tell the difference.
…they look almost identical. Different color and old style does not go all the way to the shoulders. Yes, outstanding…
It’s little things that make all the difference, between one of them looking like a trash bag on ur head and the other one looking like a hood.
Just a different style is all. One is tucked inside the tunik, the other is tied to the outside. Nothing changed really.
As you pointed out, it’s a small difference… but its the difference between me considering one of them a piece of trash and the other one a potential piece of fashoin.
Also its a volumetric difference of about 35% in the model size ![]()
And in my opinion thats all the game needs… everywhere, different body types, different animations… they dont need to be majorly different, just enough to make a difference.
Another cool set that we should add to the list ![]()
NW Devs are indeed doing better lately with their skins… i still think things would look 100 times better with different body types.

Credit where it’s due. That’s not a bad skin. Not the greatest, but miles ahead of some of their previous work.
Also, agree better character models would make a significant improvement.
please, no sexual skins… like Blade and Soul… i hate fap-fap customization…
Don’t worry there is 0% chance that NW will have anything that will turn anyone on…
You wouldn’t even be able to turn on a Amish man.
There is and will always be 0 sex appeal in NW, so ur safe ![]()
What most people are asking for is skin/costumes/outfit that fit the user.
Will never happen im actually surprised they allow you to take off the armor and show two piece undies and not have this underneath;
Don’t give them ideas !
…
Please tell us why pixels frighten you.
Medusa transforms the snake into wood. ![]()
pixels? i’m scared of photons
