Oh no, a character in a game doesn't fit my standards! Beauty only comes in ONE form - and thats how I picture it! I DEMAND A-NET CHANGE IT TO FIT WHAT I WANT!

What we saw in the FPE may not be the final graphics for the new characters.
Plus, to get an Assassin to look like that in the OP you'd need to use the new Unreal graphics engine and a very high-end graphics card.
What you see probably took weeks to draw, and if it is 3d, it took a while to render. Imagine having to rig something like that for normal gameplay. Oy.

Just play a Ritualist...
(or Ranger/Assassin for that matter)
05 Apr 2006 at 20:39 - 15
It's just like the picture of the plump juicy burger you see when you place your order at McDonalds. When you actually get your burger it looks nothing like the picture.
It's just another marketing strategy to get you to buy the product.
Look at all the pre-release videos for guild wars prophecies and factions, then compare to the ingame cut scenes.
That assasin pic is hot.
05 Apr 2006 at 20:48 - 16
Well, the Ritualists look VERY similar to their concept art though, I can see why people are disappointed.

That would be a good counter-argument... If this thread wasn't about furthering a stereotype that women need to be excessively skinny to be considered attractive. Honestly, though... I don't care. I play characters of my same gender.

Is there a link to that in 1920x1200?
05 Apr 2006 at 21:09 - 19
There's always something to complain about.....

Well since the factions covergirl is the very voluptous Nika, it is kind of deceitful to give players something that does look very different.
Im wondering when, during the design stage did that in game art and the high-res art diverge.
I guess we blame anet's design directors.
OFF WITH THEIR HEADS XD

omg,
thats just hot
I agree, Assassins should have bigger breasts

OP.
I'm sorry but this does not look like the Assassin we are getting
Its like you go to McDonalds or any crappy take away, u look at the picture and it looks nice, but once u get into you hands is like; it looks like the picture but smaller and dry.
Falling Down with Michael Douglas anyone

it makes sense if you know the Movie.

im a girl, and i refuse to play female assassins. they are waaay to skinny. also, i just really dont like the play style, but thats getting off topic. the one in the first post of this thread actually looks much better than what we get in game. please...put some curves on the poor stick assassins. kthx.
05 Apr 2006 at 21:50 - 24
I was gonna make a female Assasin cause of the crappy male looks for the Assasin but yea both male and female are just too yech for my tastes. That plus what in the name of Grenth was A-Net thinking with the whole female Assasin dance?! Out of the 2 new classes only female Rits have the better dance and better looks. Male Rits look okay but their dance scares me alot. *shudders* Oh well. Guess I may try a female Rit after all. Also I just don't feel like messing around with the whole Energy management crap with the Assasin class. The Assasin class both looks wise and Energy management wise are a huge disappointment in my very honest to Grenth opinion.
05 Apr 2006 at 21:51 - 25
Solution:
Allow TWO Body types (or maybe Body could vary with Armor?!?) so that the competing visions can both be seen in the final game.
I have a feeling which will be more popular...

"How do you know I'm mad?" said Gaile.
"You must be," said The Frog, "or you wouldn't have come here."
Gaile didn't think that proved it at all; however, she went on. "And how do you know that you're mad?"
"To begin with," said The Frog, "a rabbit's not mad. You grant that?"
"I suppose so," said Gaile.
"Well, then," The Frog went on, "you see, a rabbit hisses when it's angry, and blinks idly when it's pleased. Now I hiss when I'm pleased, and blink idly when I'm angry. Therefore I'm mad."
I expect ArenaNet will give in and eventually tweak the character model for Nika eventually much like they did to Eve, Mhenlo and Cynn due to all the complaints.

The issue is that most people really really don't want Paris Hilton in the game.

The term you are looking for is 'athletic'. I know it's not a popular bodytype for ogling, but that's what it is.
Peace,

So no Assassin for me and I know other people that feel the same way.
I just object to repeat threads.

If thats all it took for you to almost throw up, I feel really, really sorry for you. You should probably see a doctor about that.

You didn't find the thong even the slightest bit disturbing, or the lank attached to it? I'm sorry but I don't think I need to see a doctor just because I don't like looking at children in thongs. Maybe you're the one that needs the help.

Im happy with the stick assassin ^^;
Wahey! Finally proper southeast asian faces! Wahey! Finally a body type that matches my boyish good looks ( o.o thats the polite way to say skinny and flat?)
My avatar looks like me~ XD

I am going to have to agree, most "heavy duty" athletes lose alot of their curviture, look in ESPN magazines for some examples. It would make sense that over a life time of training you lose certain features in your body... though I must say that assassins are a tad too skinny.
05 Apr 2006 at 23:26 - 34
I think people worry about this way too much, personally. Could the assassin character designs be a bit more aesthetically appealing? Sure. Is it a game-breaking issue? Definitely not.
I'm very pleased with what I've seen of Factions. It's impossible to please everyone, as one learns very quickly from reading these forums.

It's not that the assassin has no curves, it's that there is nothing there to curve. There's nothing wrong with not having super curves, I myself tend to prefer women who have the "skinny" less curvatious body. But the assassin goes further than that. Something about the assassin just seems less than healthy for a fully grown adult woman, which I thought these characters were supposed to be.

I think Assassins and all professions should be UGLIER TO REPRESENT THE GW PLAYERS IN REAL LIFE!!!
Watch how many "Omg I'm hotter then you" posts I'll get.
06 Apr 2006 at 00:53 - 37
OMG i am hotter than you!!
actually, i like the female assassins.
Anet should add a class with a chubby build and see how many people go "THATS TOO FAT! ZOMG SHE IS UGLY! THATS NOT HEALTHY!"
Guys, if you want your normal playboy style girls just choose the other class, no one is forcing you to make a female assassins and no one is making you take all their clothes off and stare at it for hours.

But seriously. I think the female assassin looks fine. Why does it matter if she looks good or not. Complaining about a character being too skinny (which I dont think she is. she is athletic) is just as bad as saying a character is too fat. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. JUST DEAL WITH IT! kthxbye
06 Apr 2006 at 01:42 - 39
I would like to see overweight (let's say 400 lbs + ) characters. Armor stretched over a stomach of fat and with a 'Slam' skill to belly-flop-insta-kill enemies. A 'Roll' attack would be interesting too.
Assassins need to be able to move quickly and lithely, for those who need to see a chest, just imagine that their boobs are strapped down (for the afore-mentioned ease of movements).

You're calling all GW players ugly?
I actually agree.. she's too skinny. Give her a wider waist (to go with the rest of her body, so still reasonably flat and uncurvy) and I'd be happy with her. She might be athletic and fit, but.. she looks like she's got anorexia
Then again, I'm making a male assassin, even though they're almost as hunched as their necro counterparts, so I won't have the problem where the female needs to look good.
They need to offer bright blue hair for both male and female assassins though.
