Vanguard: Saga of Heroes

Ok here is whats going on. I hate the new character models in vangaurd...In the screens that Ten Ton Hammer took. It does the new models no justice.

The point of the new model implementation was to add sliders and new features that distinguish your avatar from other player's avatars.

Ten Ton Hammer is beating itself in the face becase they didnt use any of the new sliders to make the characters proportional. It's just like in Oblivion where you can either make a good looking avatar with the sliders...or make a horribly disproportionate stooge.

Either way it's Ten Ton Hammer's fault for not making their characters look "proportional." Lets not blame the vanguard team because Ten Ton Hammer doesn't know how to use sliders.

IMO, I think one can make a distinguishable avatar that looks proportional, with the new system.

Haters Hate and Lovers Love. Do what you need to do.

Are they on Test now? If so, can you share screenshots?

The charmodels arent even finished (check vulmane, some seem to have wrong proportions).

No clue why people thought that suddenly artdesign will be completly different.

Wait, so the model updates...those do not even look any different...they look EXACTLY the same to me. Sliders to change things or not, I was thinking a totally reskined and polycount change...

this is a good point.  When I first went on test all my characters looks short and stumpy.  It was only after playing with the customization I saw that for some reason all the character width sliders were maxed and some others were minimum.  Anyway the nice thing is you got all the sliders back and character models are a bit nicer proportioned.  Especially the female models which actually look nice now rather then the older unisex look.

But as with anything people are expecting something more and/or won't like the change.   Ultimately though we do have better character models and all the sliders back.  So we are better then we were.

They aren't the same if you look at before and after esp the female models.  And they are lower polycount and are supposed to be less of a performance hit that was one of the reasons for changing them.  So we have better looking models (arguable) lower poly count, and all the sliders back with helms and better performance.  Seems like a total win to me?!

Here are some pictures of the characters

you dont like that!?

that looks ALOT!! better

so is that a male woodelf stripper?

So helms are on the way to this game? Haven't been involved much since the beta, but I still hope that I could return one day. The way characters looked and the fighting animations was one thing I did not like. Any improvement in that area would be great!
