Updates to character models..

[Napoleon Wilson]

They do plan to make the character models better right? I mean the scowely flesh coloured wicked witch of the west face everybody has is so off putting. At least by launch right? This really cannot be their final form,....Right? .....Right?

I know they are adding new hair soon, and given that I would assume they will be adding additional options to other facets of character creation. I'm not sure how high a priority that is though. I mean for the player having a character that you think looks good is pretty important, but at the same time there are so many other systems and features that need dev attention that it might be a while before see visual updates to character models and textures.

I read in another post that they aren't planning a full release for at least 2 more years.

This is correct. Early access is expected to last at least 2 years, and personally I'd be surprised if they hit that mark. The game is fun and playable now, but there is a lot of work yet to do, and with a small team getting it all done in 2 years seems kinda optimistic to me.

We need better 'gender-free' mustaches.

yeah, yeah...I get that there are WAY more important things. Just, not having a total ass looking character has to be on the list before the final release.

Deffo. Funny thing is, they did this with Everquest about 2-3 years after launch (Luclin?), did a character models update to "more realistic" versions. I disabled most of them because I liked the blocky ones better (or was just more used to my round, goofy troll and couldn't stand the "new" pot-bellied version).

Frankly I'd prefer them leave them. The character models are the things that need the least improvement. Have you seen those Goblin models? Oh my god. Oozing character.

I turned on only the dwarf because that was all I could afford since all the summoned dudes and horses or whatever were mandatory. The dwarf looked a lot better, although it did look like he had a popsicle stick stuck up his Dwarven booty hole.

With so many things to fix and do it the game you think the top priority is a minor graphical improvement for the developers. Not like they are sitting around doing nothing in their life's.

And if you read up on the development plans you would realize there is an extremely high chance that it will be dramatically different then what we see now.

So please keep your pants on and show some patience as you effectively agreed to the fact it was still in active development when you made 'your' decision to purchase it.

If it even survives the 2 year EA. i'm worried it wont make it.

On the same page as you on that point.

But if MMORPGs like the indie Project Gorgon (not talking about it's quality) has survived all these years since coming to Steam in 2018, then there is no real justification for Pantheon to disappear, unless the developers really screw up.

But as you point out, it is a genuine worry seeing how many others have failed or developers walk away when things get difficult.

I hope so. But the only issue I have would be the necks.. Sometimes they stretch oddly and looks really weird.

There will be improvements to the character models. It's already been stated they're getting a pass with improvements.

Don't expect final fantasy level models after, but they will be a significant improvement, from what I've heard.

They expected a release full one many years ago... its been in development over 10 years just to get what you see now.
