First impression on the Winter Dragon skins

[Chasing_Haze]

Azure Dragon (15.000): a good helmet with a decent looking chestpiece. The shoulders and bracers look good, but the midsection, aswell as the Legs are missing a little more armor. Why no plated Greaves?

Dragon King (18.000): again good helmet and the colour scheme actually works quite well, however the biggest issue I and likely many others have is the wings. It just doesnt work. They are too far away from the body and it makes the whole set look ridiculous. AGS should try to attach the wings directly to the body and enable an option to hide them. The price point at 18.000 marks is also too high imo.

Rain-Serpent (15.000): This one is just a classic AGS skin in a bad way. The helmet is way to extra and the dual dragons dont look asthetic at all and the little pony tail doesnt look good. The colours are fine on this one and, allthough not my style, the chestpiece and legs are somewhat decent.

Ice-Fang (10.000, Greatsword): A very good looking Greatsword skin that might appeal to some people who complained about the GS being to “bulky”. Its still very fantasy looking, but thats not a bad thing on this one. The simplicity and light colours look very good and this GS can be matched with a lot of different skins aswell, which makes it even better.

Wall of Frost (8.500, Great Axe): Very disappointed in this one. It looks like you took your inspiration for this one from Minecraft. Usually AGS does good GA skins, but the Axe Head on this one kinda ruins it for me. The colours are good on this one though.

Sky Weaver (7.500, Musket): The low price for this musket already gives it way, but this one is just too simple. There are way better musket skins in the game and this one is barely noticeable.

Winter Wyrm (7.500, Ice Gauntlet): This one also sits at a low price point, but I have to admit that it actually looks good. The blue colour just suits the IG and the dragon theme really shines through. It also has nice details on it.

Overall one of the better skinsets AGS has released. They still have some work to do, especially when it comes to helmet design, and also I would love to see more realistic plate armor skins, aswell as realistic GS skins like many others.

Yeah its bugged, supposed to have a skirt but it’s missing. its also supposed to have a cape which is also missing.

same thing happened with the desert skins before brimstone launch

Weapons: boring. That’s not minimalistic, it’s just boring.

Azure Dragon: besides the missing parts: shoulders are huge (way too much imo)
colors are ok, but could be dyeable
Hat looks awful.
I like the leather details. This game makes gorgeous leather textures.

Rain serpent: the fur on it doesn’t look good.
Weird pointy shoes
Hat looks like a kid’s party mascot (to scare the kids ofc).

Dragon King: Those wings are way too much, stop making skins with wings, they look like carnival wings.
Shoulders are weird.
Shoes looks like shin guards.

Hat looks better than most I’ve seen on NW, but looking like a vase.

I like the new housing items.

[Chasing_Haze]

oh yeah I forgot to mention housing items. I would say housing items have always been the best cosmetics in the game… and the missing parts of the armor are truly a shame

I wonder which one of the Dragon Winter skins is the FEMALE VERSION we were asking for?

[Chasing_Haze]

when the “Feminine skins please” debate was still going on, I also complained about this. They should model each skin for male and female characters. I dont know how this standard practice hasnt made it to New World yet

[Liv]

AGS seems to only listen to useless complaints like: remove the fart noise, made by ONE player.

I havnt checked to see myself but if that true wtf… This is the third(?) release in a row where the skins come out bugged and dont get fixed for a month? How can anyone make the same mistake 3 times when they know the fix?!

[Jiggyspice]

Honestly, I have literally no clue how the skin bugs happen.

Im not a game dev but I do a bit of 3d modeling and I’ve gone through the process of putting a rigged 3d model into game engine a few times, and I cannot for the life of me understand how this made it into live with parts of the model missing.

My only guess is that it has something to do with the cloth physics, im assuming the skirt and the cape have cloth physics and somehow they didn’t make it into the group for whatever reason. But surely this is somethign that they would instantly notice as they are implementing it into the engine, you have a full 3D view of the model and how it looks and works as you are doing it.

It truly baffles me how this happens once. It is beyond my comprehension how it can happen 3 times.

I was ready to buy the azure dragon, luckily I checked the in-game model before… It sux

[Jiggyspice]

If you really like it then you can still buy it, it will get fixed 100% but yeah it sucks that they borked it

Is there a setting in the visuals for us to turn off all skins, I have no interest in seeing any skins and the more generic the scenery the easier on my system. -

My gaming setup is not weak, I just don’t want to waste video resources on these.

Another store update, another L. And these ones are here for 27 days this time

Clearly AGS doesn’t want our money. They’ve seen our complaints for months but keep the same theme of loud, gaudy garbage.

[Anonymoose123]

A lot of these assets are retextures of the Chinese New Year skins. And are wings just the thing now?
