The textures are _NOT_ an improvement. While they are "different" and "new" they are far from being finished. Their appearance seems as if they were not completed and just thrown out so players can get legitimate feel for what's being added.
On my system, the cheeks have streaks which appear like 12 year old girls put on too much blush. The muscles in the arms are overly exagerated and reminds of several old write ups on comic book artists who just like to "draw lines".
These need to be softened up.
I only clicked the firt link so I'm not positive if they include all the updates I saw:
Humans, Twileks, Zabraks, Nikto (sp?)
Didn't pay much attention to the others. Not positve about the Nikto races altough the one I saw looked a LOT more detailed from what I recall. I'll need to check the live game to compare...
Whats up spat!
I think it's funny they even spent 30 mins working on this let alone a entire block of time and effort + the team to do this and for what?
How many people complained that thier toon looked bad? Minus the diversity issue.. which has nothing to do with it.
To me that is the best part.... Sure the game is in the crapper BUT WE CAN MAKE YOUR USELESS TOON LOOK GOOD!!!! whoo hoo!

My Honest opinion... I think some looked ok and some didn't. It's different for SWG players to get used too. Some just need an ID. If this is a preview I think they need a little tweaking still. You are correct, the art team is just that, an art team with artists. Not everyone is going to like your art and that’s the truth. I think it is a big chance the are taking by changing them. But with the right kind of feed back they can make it look pretty good. I'm not really for or against this change if you didn't notice. I liked this one http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e13/raphegalland/SWG/screenShot0027.jpg
YOU HAVE MISSED THE ENTIRE POINT TO THIS..
See, this is the demograph for the game... you are no doubt in my mind perfect for it.
See, this is where some of us have now changed... Boy I am sure glad the toons look good and a entire team spent the time to do this, BUT GUESS WHAT???
Does this even remotely get back customers? Did you once ever see this as a issue?? Did at and I dare say see one post from a Vet saying , "GOSH, I wish my armor had dents in it instead of the Level system being diverse!", or "Gosh, I am glad I have more shades on my face because I would rather have those then my skill of XXXXX working right." ---?????
See this is the problem, horse before the cart and people actually not seeing this..
If you had a choice of a working game with people in it or having your toon have better shaders.. what would you choose???? (Mind you , you know Godamn well you did not complain before about this) --
This is like the adding of the Logitech keyboard that a team would have to spend time on... Yes-- a KEYBOARD, when there is hundreds of botched quests and even the legacy quest is still not working right???
Please do NOT ever get into project managment, you will fail.

I realize I said I quit. I never said it was forever
On the other hand ... the hardest thing for me has been leaving my beautiful characters behind. I've loved them and loved to make videos with them. If they are no longer beautiful, not only will I not have a problem walking away -- I would delete them to put them out of their misery.

Even my wife, who is rather neutral to the NGE (secretly loves it because I finally quit SWG over it), hates the changes to character's looks. Everything we have seen makes the characters meaner looking and more hateful, which not everybody is into.
To me, it's just one more example of SOE wasting effort better spent elsewhere. It seems that with the exception of the Geonosian Cave, almost everything SWG has done since release is the exact opposite of good according to my opinion.
I realize I said I quit. I never said it was forever
Again a choice made for you, in the end the entire NGE is just this.
I just like the fact they wasted time and money on it...lol
You know, because of ALL THE COMPLAINTS prior lol ---muahhahahahah
They fix things you do not need to have fix and break things you need to work..lolol

OMG, she looks like Bib Fortuna in drag now.
Can they sink this game any further into the shittter or what?
John Smedley beat up my grandmother.
My favorite: We have now fixed a bug allowing characters to board transports despite not being in close proximity to the ticket collector.
I mean like...THANKS SOE!!!!!! That was really killing the game for me.

When Sony and Lucas set out to create the NGE, we said, How can we do this and make it similar to WoW? We wanted it to be all about Iconic characters like Luke, combat and locking our players into a class. So we created a system that would restrict players and make all professions the same and there would be minimal gameplay around making that change. We definitely borrowed a lot of ideas from WoW that worked and figured out how to make them fit for SWG Julio Torres (2005)
It sucks.
It doesn't matter.
Nobody asked for this.
Yet, it works.
The crowd goes: "ooo, purdy lights". And SOE gets another month of subs.
Someone has deifinetly been buffing the ST armour my TC guy is wearing...it's so shiny now lol.

LOL I laughed my arse off over that one when I read about it. I was like "oh yeah that was necessary".... What's really pathetic is that's ALWAYS Been the norm for SWG. "Let's fix the completely innocuous bugs that actually make the gameplay less tedius and leave the REALLY GAME BREAKING ones in the game as long as possible.... unless of course... the really game breaking ones somehow can be used to a player's advantage... then we'll fix it the same day with a hot patch and take the servers down for <X> hours.
