Question about the Looks

TheBishopTheBishop Member Posts: 31
in Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning
    Well I noticed that every class has a very specific look.  My fear is that these looks will prevent diversity within each class.  For example, I have only seen one look for the Bright Wizard and the Warrior Priest.  I notice other classes very limited in what they can do and their looks within game.  Does anyone else notice this?

    WEll i know atm everyoen in teir 0 or 1 whatever you want to call it startign out regardless of class looks very similar, and the TYpe of armor changes every tier. Gettign bigger and stronger looking.



    As for all BW looking like BW yeah thast gonna happen as for if there will be any difference in armor looks ... i hope so .. only asian mmos do a total level based equipment style... it would suck if WAr did that. But i know character looks and armor slots are customizable (ie addign spikes flames, skulls, bones, etc etc etc) to armor in differnt places is player chosen as you get items in the game (ie items you can strap on your character for thier apperence).

    The devs have said that if you put 20 characters of the same rank and class together none will look the same.

    THey really have not shown much diversity in the screenshots so far but I imagine that here fairly soon we will start seeing some different stuff.

    Yeah, the devs have stated that you'll have numerous customization options as you advance in Tier. It's all loot-related, so I don't expect to have a lot of different characters at the beginning of the game. Rather, at the end. I'm all for customization from the very start, though... so I hope they give out a LOAD of options at character creation and don't make this entirely equipment related.

    But they just might look recognizably similar... i.e. you will pretty much always be able to tell someone's a Bright Wizard, regardless of what they are dressed in....



    Probably too soon to tell, I would think customization might be one of the last things they finalize, as the focus right now should be on the combat mechanics and gameplay....

    They mentioned a while back(one of the Grab Bags) that the character creation system will be basic.  Not in drastic detail like SWG or CoX.

    That is one of WAR's fundamental design principles that has been repeated in interviews.  Immeadiate identification of your opponents is likely something Mythic considers important for PvP.

    I think by 'basic' they meant nothing like sliders to change the shape of your nose, which no one will ever see anyway.

    The art leads have said that they prefer to give players more readily obvious options (head types etc) rather than lots of little, barely-noticable tweaks.
