New Engine......Archers......

[Crit]

Hi everyone

Hi NGD

I've seen some pictures about upcoming New Engine, and i am a bit confused....

NGD, you are improving some visual effects to warriors, by changing the armour look.........that's cool
You are also making some 'half-naked' female mages.........well, not bad.


And what about ARCHERS?

Are you working on adding 'at least' and image of a Quiver on archers' back? (im not even talking about the Quiver system of WOW) just an image...........

What about bows? will we still have only some kinda 'erratical' sticks?

Are you trying to make arrows a bit more visible? at the moment they are completely unvisible [don't forget to lower the arrow cost, too]


come on, NGD.......don't forget to do something good for ARCHERS please...........



(REPLY TO THIS THREAD, NGD)

Shouting 'REPLY' in caps-lock will most likely cause the opposite effect.(asking nicely mostly works better)

I do recall reading somewhere something about arrows getting visible as arrows.

[Crit]

well, i don't care how the arrows will look like........
i just want something to go from my bow to my enemy, which i can SEE

like in WOW

[King_Of_Angmar]

like in WOW

Visible arrows would be cool, but the last thing I want this game turning into is WoW in any way shape or form.

[UmarilsStillHere]

Bow stings are tricky to get right, I dont mind not having them, but a Quiver at least, even if you dont pull a visable arrow from it would be the first thing Id work on for improving archer visuals.

And remember, those who abuse Caps are doomed to have someone shout in their ear for all eternity in MMO hell.

[chilko]

armors are being improved for all classes including archers (for both female and male characters).
Anyway, the new character artwork is not being released at the same time as the technology update.

We have plans to enhance the effects for arrows but We will get into that after the technology update also.

[UmarilsStillHere]

Thanks for the reply, I assume then that the 'Tech' update and 'Visual' update will not be the same update, with the tech being implemented first then the visuals at a later date?

Offtopic: Any word on around abouts when Transfers are planned, Im still eager to hear about this.

[-Edge-]

So that's more disappointing, I was rather hoping for all in one. Hearing chilko say that it will come in different stages makes me get the feeling like another thing on the to-do list. :sifflote: (Of course I still want the tech update much much more then a visual one, it's kind of weird to hear it being taken back somewhat)

In the mean time keep us entertained (?) Release parts of concept art and screenshots, so we can guess or anticipate it.

...

Bleh, who am I kidding, this is so dull :sleep_1:
*Thinks back to days when everyone was happy, awaiting updates with joy, NGD did events, released sneak previews, and contests*

[chilko]

we've been doing art updates for a long time (trees, rocks, initial zones)
the characters are being worked on right now but they take a lot of time...
Graphics will still improve with the new engine as we have more draw distance, specular lighting on the terrain, shadows and color correction.

New characters should be ready before the end of the year

Oh ok, thanks for that bit. I understand it more clearly now :p I didn't realize that the new initiation zones, rocks, and trees were going to be a part of the graphics. I thought that you guys just decided to polish them up, and that the new graphics engine would be a total revamp of every resource.

[shayologo28]

Chilko, did you will show us(creat) new video or screen of the new engine?

i can't wait to see new engine and how will Uthaga and Dwarf like XD

And see more new model :)

Thx

[v0rt3x]

Very nice news. I look forward for the Tech-Update. I hope, performance is much better then yet.
And the new models in the end of this year. I´m impressed.

A new video would be great. :D

[LupeFiasco]

Quivers would be pretty cool.
So would bow strings but tho it might seem like a simple task when thought is put into it, might be kinda different having to vary on bows,type and so on.
Seeing arrows Im up for it, don't mind if we don't see it either tho xD. Pretty much really wanna see a quiver

[Funkwecker]

Chilko, i`ve seen the short tunicas for female mages and i really hope that to wear a short tunica will be an option and not a must. please make it like with the helmets (switsch between short sexy and long normal version) not all female players want to run around looking like sexbombs ;)
regards

[Recoil]

not all female players want to run around looking like sexbombs ;)

but all male players want them to ;)

[Funkwecker]

but all male players want them to ;)
yes, but already the majority of players is male do you wan't even less female players? or less female players with femalecharacter?
to make the short sexy clothing optional would be fair.

They showed one character model and everyone is screaming about cleavage and legs.

[DkySven]

Speak for yourself please.

Ditto that statement. IMHO, making that sort of a get-up an option is a must.

but admit, it's easier to scream before models are made than coax to rebuild already finished model. and it seems to be important for RO female players to have option not to look like cheap whore.

[Zas_]

I like the current look of female in RO.

Please make any short skirt looks an option.

I agree it is better to have your say before models are made, and i think by now ngd know how a lot of us feel about clothing that makes us look like cheap sluts. To have the option is a good thing and it is totllllllay possible to have sexy without making us look like whore,s.

I completely agree! Assuming the mage on the front page is what we're going to look like (which it may not be, things may change) I think I'll be very disappointed with the new models. Like twinkle said, there are other ways to make the characters more feminine without making us trampy.

That being said, I do love the way female mages are currently and maybe just a slight texture/model update to the current tunics is needed to make it fit the new engine. However, if you must make such a drastic change I think I prefer something like the following two images over the what is on the front page:

http://image2.sina.com.cn/gm/lineage/Material/Elf_Female.jpg (Not ideal, maybe a bit longer skirt, but its not too bad)

or

http://www.freakygaming.com/gallery/game_wallpapers/world_of_warcraft/human_mage.jpg (GASP I know WoW... but still the mage outfit isn't that bad).

Obviously don't completely rip these off, but I think they're much more acceptable since their cothing isn't just a series of flaps tied together.

Sincerely,
Arwen

Imo there should be a option to Tailor Clothing Cut it add more to it add seam ect

could even be a ximerm option :)
