Luclin models...a poll

[Otto]

There are so many more important things the devs can be working on that involve more than just visual aesthetics.

Wasting time to bring in models from an expansion that isn't even planned to be released on this server is like a slap in the face. "Sure I could be spending this time working on stuff that needs to be fixed, or starting to prepare to fix things in Kunark for however many months away it will be released, but Luclin models for a few people who prefer them is more urgent."

Yes I know I don't have to turn them on. Honestly I thought they were working, I just didn't care. But to even ask for this to be implemented over the things that actually effect gameplay shows (to me) how little you value the Dev team's time.

edit: someone beat me to it.

I personally do not like the luclin models (caveat: the male barbarian isn't awful) but this is a personal preference. When they were released I remember thinking "how could this garbage have been passed through?". Not that the classic models are monuments to design, I'm not saying that, it was just very underwhelming and bordered on comical how ridiculous the vast majority of the models appeared to me.
That said, I wouldnt quit if they were enabled and if given the choice lots of folks would enable them simply for the armor varieties. I stand firmly on the fence!

"Honestly I thought they were working"

Same here. It hadn't even occurred to me that they might not work on P1999 until someone mentioned it in another thread. I have zero interest in using them personally and had not even tried to (I actually turned them all off when I installed Titanium on the assumption that they worked). Funny stuff!

Damnit why do you sign forum posts they already have your fing user name aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[Danth]

I post in the manner I do because I want to, messiah. I don't see why you should care enough to comment on it. Are you really so sensitive and intolerant of anything that isn't done exactly your way?

My turn! Why do you make the effort to type out half-spelled cuss words that only serve to make you look like an easily-aroused kid with a weak vocabulary?

Lol, I like how all the "I've been playing EQ longer than you," snobs decide to take away options that wouldn't effect them, then latch on to a "I don't want Devs to waste time" mantra when they realize they're being ridiculous.

So from here on out are we going to vote on everything the devs do, since we apparently know best how to use their time?

Sorry, the new models sucked, except the Iksar, always liked the new ones myself, and regardless of what's done I'm staying with the old models. But to vote to not allow others to use a graphics you don't have to see is just stupid.

Thank you Nil for making this poll, while some whiners may be railing on you, I appreciate the fact that you're willing to listen when the community has an issue. I don't particularly care about this one, but at least I know you'll be around when an issue is raised that does effect me. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Oh, and Morfnblorsh, we're aware of your opinion and don't need to hear it again. There is a lot of non-classic elements on p1999, so the tired "It's not classic so it won't be here," argument is moot.

[Jereziah]

It has nothing to do with making you suffer. It has everything to do with available resources.

I am 100% against dev taking any time at all away from working on needed development for this.

I don't think anyone is against having options, but like other aesthetic things if you want it you develop it.

I agree 100%. I certainly wouldn't want this to budge in line of anything else. If the decision was made to place this at the very bottom of the list of 'to do's', but that it WOULD be done eventually, that would be a monumental success for the folks who want this.

I wouldn't dream of taking away time for the issues already pending. I hope that wasn't influencing people's decisions.

Approve this change, send it to the BOTTOM of the list, it'll be done one day, when they have time.

This will NOT decide anything. This is to gauge interest in having Luclin models available.

I gave my opinion in another thread, which provoked some responses. Here is my opinion. :P



Do you believe that Luclin character models should be available for Project 1999?

I just want to ask out of curiosity, why do polls at all if the opinion of the community means nothing? We could all vote 99%-1% in favor of something and if the devs disagree with the results you'll do what you want anyway so isn't a waste to even ask us what we want?

Well, we generally DO want to know how folks feel about it. Even though the care-o-meter might actually be next to 0 due to game impact, general balance, or just plain old curiosity.

Wow. Yeah I guess I'll stop wasting my time on this.
