[REQUEST] Can we have a more original race next time?

[Renik]

They should make a beastly race to have more diversity and please those begging for it, then mixed heritage races.

That last option could please almost every player in this game and those who are not playing it.

Ps3 limitations. Sorry.

I want a tentacle monster playable race >.> or maybe a clothes dissolving blob race! =D

[Samburi]

Make them more beastly and they will end as not playable beastmen.

Then instead of a new race, why not just make Goblins playable?

And yes, the playable races share the same humanoid body shape so the devs don't have to create new lv1-60+ gear for every single race.
What the devs could do to make a race more beastly without altering the body shape too much is more fur (for both gender)

[Chiramu]

The races need to fit the gear.

The real succubus race would be interesting, the one in the Hauke Manor~

Afaik that is actually not a race but a posessed corpse.

the problem is... races that don't look like a human are not popular.

this, plus the fact that a race too much different from the human, will need a massive rework for all the armor present soo far into the game, for make them be adapted to the body shape of this race. it's not World of Warcraft where most armor are simply texture over simple model. each armor have a lot of complex detail that will be a pain to make work for this race.
then, they need to be sure this race will be a hit, because it will be a huge investement for the game. create a race that will appeal to only a minority is a huge loss. we can argue that they can do it for be original and such, but...if being original means loose cash, don't hope see it. originality are not always the best choice in this industry!

I would totally play non-human-like race. I'm hoping they add a more beast like race as well. I think the biggest issue is gear design. If they had a race like Nanaki, I wouldnt be anything else ever.

But I'd even settle for:



or this (Which is what I WISH Miqo'te had been like. I played this race in Archeage)


Wargen's were also cool, and my 2nd favorite race. (Would have been my main if I didn't already have a lvl 80 Nelf)


I also had a Chua


I'm actually sad that there aren't more actually full-beast-like races...I'd totally play!

Poor SE, no matter how hard they try, folks are just never happy.
