Gender locked classes & no character customization

[Mugen141]

It's lame.

I know that the community is entirely against it for some reason, but this is an RPG. People like creating their characters in these types of games, even if they aren't zooming in on their faces 24/7. It improves immersion and adds a non-invasive monetization option. I'm sure the game will be great either way, but it is a shame it won't be included.

Careful with that avatar.
Xi might go for your honeypot~

It doesn't improve immersion in any way. It's not a roleplay game with relationships and deep dialogues where you could create a character and associate yourself with it. It's loot based action rpg focused on farming, grinding loot. Anything that works best for what is stands for and doesn't give devs extra works and problems for what it's not - good.

Who cares? D1 and D2 had gender-locked classes. POE1 somewhat did the same, kinda.
Nobody really cares you see.

The reasons why the community is against it are pretty clear to me:
1. 99% don't gives a ♥♥♥♥ about genders and customization.
2. People prefer developers time spent on making gameplay more fun.

Oh didn't know that. Thanks for sharing. Had the game in my cart. Saved me a refund. Wish they had this info on the store page. :/

I do play Diablo 4, along with a ton of other online RPGs. They all let you customize your character.

The POE character editor is a separate application. It's called PathOfBuilding.
You see, the character customization is so deep, it needs a whole different application! :D

Realistically, how much development time would it really take? I'm not saying we need sliders for everything, but male and female model with some face, hair and markings options wouldn't take thousands of hours.

Redoing all armour sets for new body types. Months to years for a single person. Thats just the graphics. You want the female and male monk to make the exact same moves? No...well then lets change all animations, too. For all classes.
I guess we could come up with more things that need to be changed. The real changes are probably much deeper.

Its just a non issue for me, some games have it some dont . Gameplay is all that matters just enjoy a game some people have created.

I think this was the original plan when the game was supposed to be basically poe 1.5, but they seem to have abandoned that scope.

The R in ARPG stands for roleplaying. if you can not play the role of some character on screen, why do you play a role playing game? Kinda weird tbh.

World of Warcraft has Body Type 1 and Body Type 2 go there

Aww look at the little snowflakes upset at facts :(
