If you like Luclin models, you are sick in the head.

But doctor confirmed: you have better eyesight.[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

And who are we kidding-- if you are interested at all in 16-yr-old elf pixels, you're sick in the head.

Yeah but female Dark Elves and Wood Elves look better as luclin models. Everything else is ass.

Female dark elves looked like they were slouching.

Again, with Velious coming next month what is the point of working on the classic UI, unless there's going to be another properly timelined Blue(ish) server?!

From what I know, it is actually pretty near impossible, if it was easy he would have finished it already. I personally doubt much work is going into it, but he could work on it if he wanted to because it's what he does for fun.

Per Ele's post, the quotes from Nilbog makes it pretty clear.

The "kids" that complain about Luclin models are no more important to development than the "kids" that berate them. The Devs do all this work for themselves, it's what they enjoy. They owe service to no one.

This isn't a business, they aren't trying to sell their product. Everyone can feel free to complain about the server, but it'll accomplish about as much as trying to teach a snail trigonometry.

Because the differences between Classic UI and Velious UI is about 4 hot buttons and resizable windows?

Because we hope to have a new Classic Progression timeline server eventually and it would be nice to progress with UI changes during that timeline?

Because we shouldn't be using the Titanium or customizable UIs, like DuxaUI?

Gotta love the attempts to frame opinions about pixel aesthetics as moral imperatives. This thread is every bit as :classic: as blocky models and shitty UIs.

I personally prefer most of the classic models and pretty much all of the classic animations (we won't talk about Iksar 2h), but, like, that's just my opinion man.

they already have checks to make sure the client hasnt been adjusted from what they expect

That may be but you don't have to edit the client to enable Luclin models, its built into the client. Only way would be to require everyone to download a new modified client which had that feature disabled. Then they would be able to detect if you made changes.

I just don't see them doing that, as they have never distributed client files and emphasized that during cast. Otherwise your just changing a couple values in your ini file which tells your graphics card which file to display. Same thing goes for all the texture patches people have.

But maybe I am wrong about this, just my understanding from the discussions about this and my understanding of how the client works which may be off.

On the stream it was said that Nilbog would force Classic models if he could . This is from the same man that wishes he could make us use the classic UI.

As has been said over and over, the goal of the project is the classic feel, not literally emulating what was Live EQ. I don't have a dissertation on why he would like to make the changes, but if the same man that brought so many amazing elements to the server wanted to make that change, I would let him.

well actually i just watched the stream and to be accurate he says: "rest assured we will get them disabled".

so i guess i got my answer ;(

thanks for the reply though.

And what's the point of it if only 30 people play? That's not to say the luclin graphics are a game breaker for those that use it, but it seems to be the solid stick in the asses of those who don't and when community turns on each other over dumb shit like that why would anyone want to continue? Not even cause of the change, but cause of the vitriol the opposition has to it. It's pointless and does nothing but damage the server in a way a few people using luclin graphics never would/could.

I really doubt disabling new models will drive away the thousands of people that play here.
