Not to hijack the thread or anything…..
But I hopped over here from the WvW/PvP threads I normally take place in…..and I can’t stop laughing here….. xD
While I understand it would suck to farm for an armor piece and have it marginally changed……I really can’t understand why people are THIS upset?
IMHO A-Net has much, much bigger things to worry about (WvW culling, skill lag in pve and wvw, new game content, bugs, glitches, hacks, exploits, class skills working incorrectly, and a LOT of other major game issues) So seeing a thread where people are pretty upset about a shoulder strap being altered and ear-muffs being a few inches higher…..I have to laugh. Character looks are nice, but as long as there are things that affect actual gameplay….I really think cosmetics should take a back seat.
Didn’t mean to derail, but thought it would be fair to provide some of “the other sides” opinion.
Unless you’ve had the physical appearance of your character changed for the worse, AND your reaction was what you think these people’s reaction should be, you really have no place making an opinion here.
When the Total Makeover Kit bug was breaking the glow for the female Sylvari we used it on, you’d better believe we made a huge stink about it. Character appearance is very important to people. We work so hard to make them look exactly the way we want them to. If the devs didn’t know how important looks are to players, they wouldn’t have created the legendary weapons, which are aesthetic improvements that take a whole lot more work to create for no stat advantage. To have your character’s look changed without your consent via dev decision or game bug is FRUSTRATING to say the least. It’s something that makes you madder every time you log in and stare at your character.
I dont think I could have said this any better, character appearance is very important to me and Alot of people out there.
What I dont understand is that there is so many art and wallpapers made by anet where you can see the asura ( zojja ) wearing a T3 set exactly how it should look.
they have been advertising this set if you ask me and when I saw it I just had to have it too, and now they just changed its appearance..
I dont know about you but I dont see any oversized ear-covers in this art work or any art work for that matter.
