    Actually if rabbits were an actual playable race I'd kind of dig it, but if just a suit no thanks.
    I cant remember the name of the game but there used to be a MMO where there were no human races, only animals....I cant even remember if humans were in the game at all.

    Pretty much, even if I'm not a fan of the shorts and the full rabbit suit.


    Suit?   That's a relief.  I thought they were discussing latitudes in race creation... something about "This is embodied in the creation of the game's races, cities and other aspects of Bless".  I really, really, really hope you're right.

    nah, Asian games tend to have some really silly things because, erm "reasons". Most of them are like that.


    sure because western games is all serious not silly things


    Well, of course there are light hearted things in Western games. but compare having a strawberry helmet and fighting with a fork and spoon over anything offered in Elder Scrolls Online.

    What about Tera where they have a "toy ambulance mount" compared with something similar in The Secret World?

    Yes, World of Warcraft has its silly things but the whole art design trends towards the whimsical.



    You mean kind of like my swimsuit, barefoot "armor" and my sand shovel for my 2-handed weapon in WoW? >.>

    You could always play as a Mascu... close enough for you?

    I don't think Neowitz understands the Western Market. Saying "Still Stay True to Fantasy Worlds" is the most stupid thing to say, especially when the cash shop is filled with the most immersion breaking stuff one could find. This game is on par with Tera with the stupid stuff. 

    Here are some examples :

    What they should've said is "Still stay true to EASTERN fantasy worlds" to be more honest.

    I'm watching that but my mind keeps wandering back to that other thread with some tough guys saying: "It's a PVP game... deal with it." Is this the game they're talking about?

    But many Koreans want that kind of stuff, they don't care for believable, living and breathing worlds or immersion. TERA, Aion, B&S etc. are the best example.

    But that doesn't mean that we will see the same things in the western version.

    I dont know, someone must be buying all these outfits in these asian based games, especially when it comes to the little girl models for some reason. Heck, even blade and soul goes as far as to make lyn female outfits with one not have boobs and one having them, so idk anymore. This game has a kid race so anything is possible.

    Companies have to make money. If we cry about pay 2 win, then these cosmetics have to be fair game. If we start crying about cosmetics then what... we just become a bunch of narcissistic entitled douches who cry because we didnt get it our way. F THAT! I dont personally like immersion breaking stuff either, but if its the difference between the company making money off the whales and keeping the content updated consistently and frequently, then more power to them. But i agree it would go against the keeping true to a fantasy world, which they stated.

    But really, the gameplay will be the make or break, not some bunny head or swim trunks. Heres a cash iten for you: make all player characters look like generic npcs so you dont have to see their silly cosmetics.

    Regrettably, Black Desert is well down this path too with its fixation on showgirl fashion and hottie maids and freaky costuming over more creative gameplay. I sometimes feel like I'm in a boy-man's fantasy dollhouse. Just totally breaks the pseudo-realism needed for convincing true immersion which BDO's beautiful world is just made for.

    Obviously, that rabbit suit in the middle is high end raiding gear. I'm down with that.




    So yeah! I hope there will be no potion at all , because this is a PvP game at his roots, and I really want my full combination of Aion + L2 in Bless.







    You're s**t outta luck, there is a PvP protection consumable confirmed.

    I really hope they don't go the "sassy route" with clothing. Nothing will pull me out of immersion faster than seeing crap like this:

    So balanced, immersive games are now too much to ask for? Fuck that right off.

    Someone's thinking of Jessica Rabbit.  Probably a copyright issues, I'm afraid.




    Logic, my dear, merely enables one to be wrong with great authority.

    A laudable goal.  Just have to see if they were successful.  Always excited for a new game, but wait and see.  Right now I'm playing my new game 'Project Gorgon'  Terrible graphics and having a blast.

    I self identify as a monkey.
