Yay, We're Pretty Again!

I think I look pretty handsome myself.



Until 2.0 actually releases, most topics on these forums will be based around paranoia. I thought this has become an understatement now.

To summarize- ARR graphics are very, very good. By MMO standards. 1.0 graphics were better. Much better if you have a computer that could handle it.

But we knew this was coming so whatever.

There is a wide pallete of skin tone shades.

We might have been a little prettier in 1.0. Faces seemed a little more detailed in 1.0, and the shading was more subtle and nuanced.

With as flawless as 1.0 was, that shirt texture is atrocious! How did you play a game with such terrible graphics (seeing as that's all that matters)???

OMG Praise the lord we have Skin tone again! The first time they showed footage of ARR, despite knowing it was unfinished, I was so worried we would be getting a Dramticly Different Character Art Style.

So happy to see things have gotten back to normal and that we didn't have to sacrifice High Quality Character Models for performance enhancements.

:P If that really is a roegadyn female I wonder how much you will be able to change the looks of all the races then. She doesn't look very much like a roegadyn female except for muscle amount and bust size.

Weird and a bit interesting that you can go from this

to this

They have been doing a lot of work on the outfit even so I wonder how other things are still changing.
