I wonder what has gotten you so upset that you are resorting to incoherent ramblings.
Excuse me, you can clearly handle criticism amazingly well and you are definitely not in need of growing up with these well thought out and laid out statements.
Where have I complained? I don’t care one bit about whatever compensation. The very concept of it is repulsive.
My only problem is with you being a whiny Karen telling everybody to stfu repeatedly and submit to your opinion. This is only causing more frustration and doesn’t even match your own objective of defending ags/sg or ending the negativity or w/e weird stuff you got going on in your head. Frustration will only cause more complaining.
And you are complaining about other people’s complaining. Out of the two, you’re the weirdo.
If you can’t handle forum negativity there’s an x on top of the screen that let’s you move on. Use it. As per your own advice, you are free to “quit” the forums any time if you have a problem with it.
You notice that you didnt criticise me right? You straight up told me that i have no place in this discussion and that i should decide for myself if its enough and thats it. Thats not criticism infact its the very reason why i told you that zou cant handle criticism, Because you where the one trying to push me out of the discussion by saying i have no right to parttake in it. So yes i think i can handle criticsm very well thats why i never said something like this to you although i think your opinion is shit.
You literally tell me that you are not complaining while complaing about me being a “whiny karen”. How little is your self awareness. Also i do not have any problem with negativity. Infact i think negativty and being the oposition is the main driving force behind getting a good discussion that benifits everbody and getting things to change. That is why i started the negativity in this very post. I also have no problem with people complaining. I only have am problem when people complain unjustly. Because you guys where complaining about the descisions they made which doesnt make sense in any way because initially with their first compensation 95% of players benifitet from it. Then with the second one these players benefitet even more and the players that got 60 pheons from the mail fiasko ond spent them benfitted aswell. For the rest of the players they got a legendary engraving bag which is worth around 16-25k depending on the server (grudge price). And that is after the update 70 to 100 pheons (at least on my server). So people got goods worth around 130 to 160 pheons. THAT IS WAY WAY MORE THAN PEOPLE GOT INITIALLY. Not even factoring in that the people that got pheons and then lost them afterwards even if they went minus still had a great advantage because they got the pheons before the tripod change. People where asking for AGS to just give everbody the pheons. And AGS gave out way way more than that just in form of other goods to not fuck up the economy by giving everybody the pheons on one day. And it annoys me a lot that people still complain after this. So i am stating my opinion here that if you really think that AGS still owes you something and that they “scammed” you. Then you either have brain damage or you are just not thinking before talking (my opinion btw). All this is not even factoring in the huge ass update that they pushed on wednesday that gave us a fuck ton of free stuff in form of the powerpass to 1445.
I can handle forum negativity very well thats why i tell you and show you with evidence why your opinion is trash.
What would you say about a company that NEVER listen to the playerbase? the answe is easy : only negative things.
One example of this is what happened with new shadowhunter demon form, almost all the playerbase begged AGS to keep new demon form untouched as it was in the Kr version, there was a HUGE hype about it, but, Guess what happened? they ruined it making it black AGAIN.
So no, you cant have a nice concept of people working in AGS, they just follow a woke agenda and doesnt matter for them if they ruin the game as long as they follow such agenda (remember what happened with the rings of power or star wars, its just the same with lost ark).
Players NEVER asked for race changes in NPCs, NEVER asked for censorship in outfits and skins, but they did it and keep doing it and lie blatantly stating stupid excuses such as “new SH form is made that way to avoid PVP/raid confusion”, or at game launch they said they wouldnt touch anything but then you find all the censorship and race changes.
Nothing is for free, and a good or bad concept is EARNED, and AGS has earned by their own merits a very low concept from the playerbase, if they did things well it would be just the opposite.
To be fair, like you I initially thought the change to Shadowhunter’s demonic form was due to representation issues (what you call “woke agenda”). However, after taking a closer look at my Shadowhunter, it looks like the model is light-skinned, but there is sort of a dark gray hue covering everything from clothing to skin. So I don’t think it has anything to do with making it dark-skinned.
As for making some NPCs dark-skinned… Well, I support that idea.
I disagree, if that were the case they shouldnt had race changed many NPCs .
That shader was set and is stated in other post in forums as the AGS answer to the question “What if someone creates a black SH and then becomes white while transformed?” so they had the “brilliant” idea to turn SH demon form black. It doesnt matter the VAST mayority of SH characters are white they had to keep a very small MINORITY happy at the expense of the vast mayority. Also there is the fact they censor outfits and skins, If that isnt being woke then I cant say what it is.
In a perfect world demon form should have the same skin tone as the human form but well, it seems people in AGS cant even dream of making such a good solution, a REAL solution should have LISTEN the playerbase who asked if not begged AGS leave the new SH demon form as it is in the Kr version, but it is clear given the “solutions” AGS implemented now, making the new SH transformation black again, they rather be mediocre and lame.
Race changing characters in video games or movies is just inheritly racist and doing a disservice to the black community. They are telling us that the only way we get representation in media is by taking a white character that already exists and turning it black. They are straight up telling us they are not able to come up with nwe charcacters for us because we are not important enough so they just change an already existing character into any minority and call it progressive. Do you know why Black Panther was so incredible successfull and everybody hates the new little mermaid and the new velma because they made new characters so we have characters we can relate to. Pls just stop this race swapping nonsense and stop supporting it.
As I said, looking closely at the SH it looks nothing like a dark-skinned character in the racial sense. It looks like a dark grey hue on top of the whole model, clothes included. Like a dark, shadowy emanation. So, I think players approaching the change as if it were “some woke shit” made a mistake.
The issue now is that if players approached it from the viewpoint of race, reversing the model to look like the Korean one as many want would probably be a bad move. After all, even if the change was not made with race in mind, the criticism to it was.
Considering the vast mayority of the playerbase asked (if not begged) AGS leave the new SH form as it was in the Kr version you think It would be a bad move reversing the mess they did?
Fact is AGS made new SH black and they are keeping it only to please a small minority while the vast mayority hates the black version, so I consider the “dark grey hue shit” excuse is just ignoring the reality as woke people always do.
Even if its not black, if you cover it with a black mist veil or whatever you wanna call it making it look black, then the character IS black.
You see a white character here ? I see a black one, and if I have to move image settings to barely notice my char isnt really black then there is a problem there.
Honestly, no one here has forgot we’re all humans theyre just fed up with the 3 mistakes made every week and only store based problems are resolved in a timely manner. You dont order a ps5 get a ps1 and be like “oh well people make mistakes”, as you wait patiently for 1 week for a refund and have to hunt your money down. Then the same place makes a mistake and sends you something extra and within 10 mins their at your door, forcefully taking it back. Like wow where was the urgency to fix the other 1782981748912 mistakes you made. Please dont post stupid shit like a troll just to get a reaction from people (assuming you’re trolling because i can’t fathom someone seriously making a post like this).
This is really basic logic, but if you can’t manage yourself, I’ll help you.
Even though you picked an angle that prevents us from seeing the actual skin of the character, you can easily notice that the darkness covers the entire model (skin + outfit). Hence, it is not the skin itself that’s black, which would be the case of it were a change undertaken to make the model black in a racial/ethnical sense.
If you zoom in/change the angle you can very clearly see that is indeed the case, as the character’s skin seems to be a pale greyish tone.
If you don’t like that darkness covering the character, that’s fine. But if you say they did this to “blackwash” the character because they’re “woke”, you would be mistaken. No, at this point it would be just lying.
