Well for one the female Dark Elf models look like "Jay Leno" then I do not plan on upgrading if they make everything look just as bad as they do...

Re: New Luclin Models
do you have a choice? if you go to the moon or whatever, won't you assume the new model automatically?

nope...
You have a choice, and I know what my choice will be for sure. I like the new models, can't wait to see the iksar models tho... if the iksar models are bad.. then I might play for a bit, but quit later.
Its all about looks baby

Re: nope...
What they posted about the models was this....
The faces are bland because they were made for facial animations...without the animations...which all the DE pics have been so far...they look like crap.
They are not done with the pics yet...so don't get too bent out of shape till you see the final result.
Frankly, I think having capes and facial expressions would be worth looking a bit uglier. Besides...a DE is not known for their great CHA. I am intelligent and not that shallow...
LOL!

Luclin models...
I would probably keep it on one computer and see how it goes, otherwise I hope I can change it later after I install Luclin.
Re: New Luclin Models
If they don't fix the dark elf models and make them look similar to the ones now then I will not switch over. Something is VERY wrong with their minds if they think we will like the new models as they look now (and they need to make the ogres butterballs).

Re: New Luclin Models
Brad responded with the reason that ogres look *smarter*, he said it was something about the curse The Rathe Council put on them is fading or something like that. He also said that they are going back to the way they were which I guess was smart. Oh gosh, what are they thinking? Smart AND strong ogres, we're in for a ride)

"Choosing" character models
I am 100% positive they will not give you a choice as to how other people see your character model. If they did, I would be suprised.
What they will do is give you a choice about how you want to view yours and other models -client side-, and it will probably be across the board. For example, you can turn off velious armors now, but you still wear them when people with velious graphics look at you. This would make turning off your character models because of vanity ("her chin is too big") kind of pointless. Regardless of how the models look, after we get over the initial shock, we will probably grow into them.
Personally I think VI should have taken an evolutionary instead of revolutionary approach to the models, but oh well.
Re: "Choosing" character models
i think the old models, add a bit of detail here and there, are nearly perfect. the gnomes we have no look cool as hell, like trickster little old men that are adorable. I just wana go up and hump Nubas every time i hear him talk =P. the ogres look cool. BIG, tough, yet cute and friendly in an ugly cabage patch doll kinda way. Wood elves (DROOL), DE, HElves... all look cool. Half elves need work. there is one without a clear face. The iksars are dorks too. Need an appearance upgrade. Maybe they just should have given MORE options for faces. theres only what, like 8 each race? Oh Erudites are f00king ugly. Most look cool tho.

Re: "Choosing" character models
I think it's kinda funny... I remember everyone saying that all the velious armor looked really bad and nobody would ever wear it.....
Until day 2 of Velious and that orc armor was the most popular thing in the world. (: Wait til you see the models in motion before you decide something one way or the other.

They are working to improve the models and with all the animation they are trying to put in it should be amusing.

Re: "Choosing" character models
seeing character models IN motion in YOUR armor will probably be the best way to ever find out if you'll like it.
from what it looks like, verant has cleaned up the 'Jay Leno' jaw line of the females, but the guys still have it.
in the end, for me, unless they show a side by side comparison of your character, how they look currently vs how they look in the new models, i probably will keep the original model.
verant is aware of the fact that many ppl are sensitive to how thier character appears, i'm sure they might try to make sure that you get all the info you basically need to make your decision. if not, i doubt many will change over. they have recieved a LOT of negative responses over thier character models. no one will really know til release.

Re: "Choosing" character models
Is the change a permanent changeover, or is it set in your eqclient.ini file to have the new models on or off, like the Velious armor?
and the hands on the new models?? >.< them's is MAN hands!
