This is why they are loath to give out any information about games. They want to do something, mention it and when it doesn't come about people have a conniption. I'd rather know what they are going to try and get in the game personally but I could see why they'd rather just not tell anyone anything.

Its a cool lil extra feature...but honestly is it really worth whining over?  Its not like they're taking out something important like Keeps & Sieges.  Cheese anyone?

i remember when i fist saw the pod cast of Keeps and sieges...so glad they put them in  ..And to think we wouldn't have ..tsk tsk    =]

orcs won't grow bigger, dwarves' beard remain same lenght and whatever they had planned for the other races is out as well.

The reason they did that is because that system was entirely linked with the non-level based system they had before the revamp.

As you had no levels, you NEEDED something to distinguish the characters from each other so that you see an orc coming onto you and you know if he is Tier 1 or 4.

As that system is now gone and a more traditional level system is in its place (and presumably you can see the level of your enemey when you click on him), that recognizing system is not needed anymore and was scrapped.

Might be implemented later but they also had another problem and that was figure out what to do with all the other races. I mean, the system they had made sense JUST for Orcs and male Dwarves! Female dwarves have no beard, so what happen to them? And goblins do NOT grow bigger, so what happen to them?

Too many problems and too little gain gave this feature to the axe. I'm not gonna cry over it, it was neat but not needed at all.

Erm Volmar, i'm pretty sure that they have always had a level/rank based system. It was just that when you leveled up your character would look physically better in some aspect. I've been following this since it was announced and they have always stated that it would be level based, 1-40.

Unless you are referring to when the game was being developed by Climax???

it all comes down to looking different from everyone else.  i hate it when i am playing and running around and everyone is the same height, everyone has the same pieces of armour from that quest you just did and everyones faces look the same,  it sucks.  growing both beards and in size would provide an interesting change from all that.  also for the other races i think they said that they would end up with extra bits for their armour (skulls, sharp pointy bits and runes).

Well thats what the double tint Armor Dye system is for & trophies are for (several thousand of trophies and up to 15 spots to hang them...i hardly doubt everyone will look the same unless everyone earns every single possible trophy)...we dont know the extent of the customization as far as the models yet so you can't count that out yet.....plus they only said the feature wouldn't be in at Launch not that its Cancelled all together.

The sky is not falling..the only way you'll look like Everyone else 100 percent is if someone literally goes to their servers makes a copy of your character renames it and uses it.   

You know whats funny though is games that give you tons of toggles for everything so you can make super unique toons...is very few people mess with them extensively..and everyone Looks pretty much the same anyway in the end.  Not to mention those games can be laggy.

Youll never find a game...where everyone is 100 percent unique.

Mythic's design has always been Level / Classed base ... they didn't take anything from the previous companies design.  

 

sorry for the double post!

Oi! How's we 'spos ta know who'z boss den?

That does kind of suck, that was a major feature for me. Think about it, you play an elf you get fancy silks and such to make you special, humans get fancier codpieces, orcs should get bigger.
