Please can we get the choice between selecting which transformation form we want? A small minority prefers the shadowy version which is completely fine but to not give what the majority prefers which is the Korean version feels too forced when it comes to preference. AGS by you forcing the shadowy version on us you are essentially telling us how our characters should look so why not give the player the choice? It is a mmo why can’t we choose? Some people prefer the old shadowy transformation, some prefer the new shadowy transformation, quite a lot of us likes the new and old Korean transformations so please just make your Shadowhunter community happy for once.
Now before anybody turns this into a race thing please stop this ain’t about skin colour but preference of how we like our characters to look…
If someone can tag the community managers please do so.
@Roxx@Shadow_Fox Please try and pass on this feedback. Similar to the Korean VO pack which we’re all thankful for if we could receive a DLC for the SH demonic form. I would love to play a ShadowHunter but not in its current aesthetic.
If there is an option for the KR Voice Acting to be a DLC then at least make it an option to also use the KR variant of the transformation. Tons of players were looking forward to the new KR model.
Idk maybe something went wrong, maybe this is intended. If we can trust Roxx’ word here, she did say that she didnt get to look at it herself before the patch deployed.
But one thing is certain, just make it an option that people can make a decision to use it for themselves, that way it does not impact others in pvp were roxx once stated it was for better visibility, which has not been changed in RU or JP. If it were to be implemented as a DLC it would only affect yourself and not the other people around you. They would still see you as the charcoal blob running around by default. Only you get to see yourself in the variant KR has it. I think this would be a good way to solve this situation that would not require too much work.
We should be allowed the choice for sure. This games aesthetics and customization are a huge part of the appeal and I wish amazon would acknowledge that.
Forcing everybody to play Shadowhunter as just a silhouette covered in blurry smoke is just ridiculous.
Its crazy how demonic transformation customization isn’t a thing… Especially with how most shadowhunters play the demonic impulse build so everybody looks essentially the same due to being in demon form for the majority of the classes play style.
@Roxx It looks hideous so sad that the kr team does all this work updating textures to bring them up to current day standards. Then not saying who did it but whoever decided to change it just covered everything with this ugly smudge/smoke effect. I disagree with changing the skin color to dark blue personally but even if the skin stays that way. You guys have to change the way this was done in our version what is currently in our game looks like some college animation project that was half finished and super rushed if not hobbled together by some intern after he had too much to drink during happy hour. It looks like an amorphous grey/black blob and I hate it.
That’s their commitment and vision of pursuing “Visual Clarity” and “fairness” in PvP + raid content.
Players obviously can’t tell the difference between a transformed and non-transformed state without AGS arbitrary forced decision of this “shadow filter”. It’s so important over PvP balancing preventing shadowhunter demonic impulse players from gaining a huge advantage over other classes. It’s such a huge advantage compared to sorc with chain cc ability, supports with shields/heals to classes with nearly 24/7 super armor. Truly everybody that stills do PvP will rejoice over this change lmfao.
LOL so it seems AGS ppl NEVER played the game, you can only notice the skin color of a shadowhunter in demon form by zooming in, and while in PVP or raid you cant do that. In fact almost ALL DETAILS besides skin and hair color fron character customization are only noticeable when zooming in.
While in demon form shadowhunter has a different shape and color, and IF that were the problem AGS should remove all skins because following their logic people couldnt notice the difference between a reaper and a deathblade or a wardancer and a scrapper or arcanist and a bard, etc etc. Honestly such excuses from AGS for making such fiasco with demon form only shows how AGS considers players idiots or something worse.
Belive me, IRL my skin isnt white, if AGS thinks they fight racism or are making black ppl happy with this let me tell you are just doing the opposite.
I posted my take on this on another thread but i can’t quote it since it got nuked, unsurprisingly enough.
But yes, i agree.
If you take a wardancer, a scrapper and a striker and put all three of them in the same animal outfit, could someone tell the difference? In a realistic combat scenario, not really. All of them look like cows. Not until you actually get combo’d by that class. I’m excluding glaivier and soulfist here since you can distinguish glaivier easily based on the weapon. Soulfist might become a bit less troublesome to spot the little flying ball next to her.
Now about demonic, it is the exact same as glaivier. You can spot the difference between a demonic being transformed or not based on her pretty big weapon glow and two weapons she holds with her hands at the backside of her body, or all of those features missing and being replaced by the korean demonic model. This is a pretty clear indicator.
What’s not a clear indicator is her being replaced by the current model that is harder to spot, since the darkened character on usually darker backgrounds in content makes her blend in more with the background. Wouldn’t that be an unfair advantage in pvp? Wouldn’t that also hinder the gameplay of the demonic player himself since you can easily lose track of your characters position when many things around you are happening?
By the definition of “unfair advantage in pvp” they would have to disable skins for pvp completely since the before mentioned scenario would be one. Being unable to distinguish between classes like that has not been touched upon for whatever reason yet.
I’m really just hoping that there is a way to get through to AGS to give us the option of using the KR model or SG stepping up and having the demonic colour be the same colour as the one of your base character.
