Is character model update coming this year?

If there's one thing I don't love about PoE it's the character models. It'd be amazing to see the characters brought to their full potential. Hell, even some Npc models look better than player ones. I hate how clunky the running animations are . I'm not one of those people that want insane graphics but it's certainly a challenge to make your character look visually pleasing for your taste , it takes away from the seriousness of the game how funny run animations are above 160% speed. I really really hope they'll add the remodels soon. It will certainly be worth it. Also, keep the single gender classes PLEASE. Diablo 3 failed there and every character lost their personality by doing two genders.

GGG is treating their "customers" (you are not a customer) like dogshit because they don't work on a very specific part of the game that you in particular are interested in?
I would claim that most of the community does not care much about the character models. This is an ARPG, it's gameplay is the absolute core element of it. It's what defines it and it's what makes it unique, it's what keeps players busy and playing.
As such, content updates, balance updates, etc. are at the very top of the update-chain.

Reworking the character models is extremly resource-heavy to do. It requires insane amount of work. And they are indeed working on it, it will just take more time and is also not a priority.

There isn't a single game out that that receives as many updates as PoE and there is probably not even a handful of games out there where the dev's are as much hands-on as they are in GGG.
If you want anyone to take you serious then you should refrain from statements such as "GGG treats their "customers" as dogshit".

Everything you said just shout fanboyism.

People don't care about character models! Where do you think the core of GGG earning came from? MTX armors effects! If players don't care how character looks, The servers probably already shut down due to lack of funds.

"Reworking the character models is extremly resource-heavy to do!"
Are you a character artist?
I am, its hard work, but not as extremely amount of work in terms of time, espeically for fairly low poly models (20-30k maybe) in games like poE.

Most characters are done using modification from exist 3D models, make naked model, make basic outfit are not too much work with the tools today like Zbrush & substance painter. Then all need is to transfer the skeleton rig & do skin weighting, then some polishing.

These can't be verify. Pure fanboyism.

Not really, they come from stash tabs. It is barely possible to see anime style Armour effects in end game map scenarios much less character models.

Also Gender classes would be great for diversity as I believe in equality.

LOL.. I hope this was meant to be a funny.

A male witch, do we call him a warlock then? Sounds complicated.

I don't get it.

That's assuming an awful lot for someone who is fighting the good fight for equality.

The worst? Eh.

This is a fantasy game, one would atleast expect women to look like you know? actual women?

It's just a game. You just want them to look like real women. Heard that.

Also, why is nothing sexy in Wraeclast???? It's a fictional universe. None of the items look good on the women. None. They are all made for the males and then shrunk down. We really can't have some sex appeal? Are the devs Mormons or something. What gives? Every other game, even in the same genre, all have so much nicer looking things! But in Wraeclast, everyone looks so damn miserable like ok you got exiled GET OVER IT!!!

Yeah. When my witch wears MTXs she just looks like a man. Feel bad for her.

This has to be the biggest lie of 2018.

What on earth do you think is the point of Support Packs if sales come from stash tabs?

Also the reason there are sales on stash tabs is because it does not sell, any retard with half a brain knows this. when a product is selling well, there is zero need for a discounted sale.

A discounted sale happens because the item isn't selling. This is why PlayerUnknown Battleground has yet to have a Steam sale. Must be the only game in existence that has gone on that long and passed through Christmas and still no sale. It is also one of the best selling games of all time.

Cosmetics is what keeps this game alive this is the whole reason GGG puts so much time into making cosmetics.

The problem is the character models and animation are absolute dog shit mix with a hint of pig shit.

I play league of legends and heroes of newerth, cosmetics are what keeps those games alive and nobody notices the character models during team fights, so what on earth is your point? just because you do not see the character model during team fight somehow that makes cosmetics irrelevant?

Did I hit a nerve?

Please tell us GGG's sales figure separated by MTX category (stash tabs vs cosmetic armour effects).

Its called a hideout, so I expect you to never get it.

You should go tell Riot to stop making cosmetics and stop making models with such awesome animations, since during team fights nobody notices cosmetics anyways. But then again Riot is successful because they didn't hire libtards who always seem to be against anything visually appealing.

The 500 pound obesity rings a bell again.
