MotherMoon Huang Yinglong	Posted - 2011.06.05 07:48:00 - [31] Edited by: MotherMoon on 05/06/2011 07:48:04 Originally by: Mkah Mvet Edited by: Mkah Mvet on 05/06/2011 07:13:27 There is a reason I'm proud to be a silhouette, you know. edit: Originally by: MotherMoon Its like real life, a native Italian women next to a native Irish women , give them both sun glasses, and bobs, and it would be hard to tell the difrence. this is GOOD for realism. However, the issue is, some people want to flaunt their native culture. And they should be given the option to do so. However, grab someone from the Mumbutu tribe and stand them up next to a westerner and culture is obvious. "Western Culture" is "western culture" regardless of which specific country you live in or what language you speak. We all wear blue jeans and covet designer Italian clothing, and despise Hugh Jackman. But that's exactly what I just said. There are westerners of Arab desent, and they too just wear blue jeans and a T-shirt. you most of them just come off as, american. Same with a lot of asian Americans but less so and so on. I said ti was a matter of culture. The bone structure in eve looks great, you have a lot of western cultures but Germanic and French and Asian all do look different. But stick them all in blue jenas and T-shirts and BAm everyone looks the same more or less. Eve needs the culture, the models themselves I'm saying, are fine. but culture more often than race is what makes it easy to tell someone apart.
Halcyon Ingenium Caldari Bene Gesserit ChapterHouse Sanctuary Pact	Posted - 2011.06.05 07:58:00 - [32] We civire still have our massive chins, but otherwise you wouldn't know us from any other race in the galaxy. On the other hand has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like? ________________________________________________ Huh?

Yes my poor massive chin really stands out, children are pointing at me all the time! ________________* - If you're in favour of a bloodline change please vote in the Assembly Hall in this thread -
Swynet	Posted - 2011.06.05 10:41:00 - [34] Originally by: Atticus Fynch Edited by: Atticus Fynch on 04/06/2011 13:52:38 Originally by: Lady Spank I just want my antlers and droopy sash things back, and the glorious Amarr tattoo's that don't look dreadful, and the ability to scowl again. Just give me my old avatar back thanks these new homogeneous one's are horrible. I agree with Lady Spank. Her old avatar was awesome. It shouted "Amarr." Her new one doesnt do it. In fact, if it werent stated beleow her avatar, I never would have known she is Amarr. vs. Now you decide which one is more racially distinct. The first is already not terrible but the second is plain awful. Sure he couldn't do it worst even trying hard.

Sure he couldn't do it worst even trying hard. It's about being able to distinguish between races, not whether or not an avatar looks pretty.

Sure he couldn't do it worst even trying hard. It's about being able to distinguish between races, not whether or not an avatar looks pretty. Who cares of distinguish races? First they are all from the same race but from different ethnics, so ethnic tattoos? Do they have unique attributes making them be better for "x" or "y" purpose? -no Are they stuck to racial-pirate ships/weapons? -no Are they all "humans"? -yes Are you going to spend all your time playing watching the tatoos of your char or it's butt? -C'mon is an space ship game (spent a lot of time doing this char some "Moulin-Rouge" dancer butt )
Mirabi Tiane	Posted - 2011.06.05 11:01:00 - [37] Edited by: Mirabi Tiane on 05/06/2011 11:02:01 People happen to like having an identifiable visual identity. And that's just the non-RP reason... _____________________________ [Sebiestor tattoos and hair plus Intaki hair: Bring them back.]
Anne Arqui Minmatar Diamonds in the Rough Enterprises	Posted - 2011.06.05 11:06:00 - [38] Originally by: Mirabi Tiane People happen to like having an identifiable visual identity. And that's just the non-RP reason... We're unrecopgnizable from what the previous character editor made us look like, racial clothes aren't going to change that. I wonder when bloodline changes will come ..
Azahni Vah'nos Amarr	Posted - 2011.06.05 15:18:00 - [39] Samurai Zulu warrior Ancient Egytian Ancient Roman Spartan I bet as you read each one of those an image popped into your head and it wasn't just their head that you saw. Each one is unique and has it's own style from head to toe. This is something that Eve at this point in time has lost, a striking difference between the races. You only have to take one look at Lady Spank's original portrait and you knew it was an Amarr unlike the new female Amarr avatar. At this stage the male Amarr robe is the only really recognizable racial outfit which I for one hope CCP do more of with all the races. CCP give us back our racial identities please
Scarlet des Loupes Gallente University of Caille	Posted - 2011.06.06 12:14:00 - [40] Originally by: Azahni Vah'nos Samurai Zulu warrior Ancient Egytian Ancient Roman Spartan I bet as you read each one of those an image popped into your head and it wasn't just their head that you saw. Each one is unique and has it's own style from head to toe. This is something that Eve at this point in time has lost, a striking difference between the races. CCP give us back our racial identities please The thing is that your Zulu warrior, Ancient Egytian, Ancient Roman and Spartan all lived seperate from each other during different periods. EVE capsuleers mix a lot in corporations that hardly ever care about race. The effect is that they all start to look and behave more and more like each other, like the different ethnicities in our western countries that all dress, behave and speak the same regardless their ancestry.
