A petition to fix Everquest: Next's Art-Style

BearKnightBearKnight Member CommonPosts: 461

I figure why not. It's just as important as Mechanics for a game's overall tone and feel. 

 

Note, please please please do NOT confuse "Graphics" for "Art-Style". The "Graphics" for a game are simply the textures, atmosphere, and effects of the game itself. 

 

The "Art-Style" set the tone of the product overall as either a mature gritty game, somewhat realistic, or Cartoony sideshow for kids. 

 

As it stands myself, my guild, family, and friends do not believe the current Art-Style reflects the Everquest franchise as a whole.

 

If you don't agree, I understand and simply bid you a good day. However, if you do agree please take a minute out of your day and read/sign the petition.

 

:) Thank You!

 

ps: I figure doing nothing is worse than trying right?

 

Sincerely,

-Bear

    Yes, I know. I wasn't going to but someone else did one about the Combat to which i slightly agree upon, but I personally feel the ArtStyle is far more important.

     

    They built the mechanics, now they just need to bring the ArtStyle in check and the game will be perfect!

    Pointless petition is pointless.

    That's completely your opinion, but I have a sneaking suspicion you never played Everquest 1. Everquest:Next has be said to be for the fans of the original game. So, with that in mind I'll respectfully disagree with you.

    Fixing would imply it was broken or damaged, that's different than you not liking it.

    However, I will say compared to the original EQ and EQ2, it is definitely different.

    I'd rather try and fix a mistake that will cripple how the Everquest franchise is seen for years to come than just sit in a hole and "Deal with it". That's now how the real world works :)!

    This petition is two years too late.

     

    I wouldn't bother signing it anyway.   The stylistic approach will allow a lot more content on the screen at once which is way more important for gameplay.

    That's what SWTOR said, and look what happened to them.

    This is why developers should not show their games until they are close to release...
