**Spoiler- character appearances. Don't read on if you want to be surprised.**














So I thought the Ritualist was wearing a head cover for a reason. The assassin was plastered all over Factions websites and ads. But uh yeah... I went to create an assassin and none of the appearances look anything like the pictures. Purple hair isn't even an option for hair color. Most of the assassin females look like boys....

I checked out ritualist and took off her head cover and wow. Every hair style is great, she looks hawt...

So yeah, A+ on the Rit, but totally skimped on the assassin's look. I get the whole "short hair shogun ninja" thing, even for the females, but there's only like 1 or 2 hair styles with hair past the ears. Should AT LEAST have 1 hair style that looks like the picture of the assassin on all the ads. And why no purple hair???? :P

You're right. The picture of the Assassin on the box is completely misleading. They don't look anything like that. Unless, they are planning an option to put a hair stylist or something in the game. But even then, the armor itself doesnt look anywhere near as cool as the box. In the game it looks like cheap cloth, and the color on it are not rich at all. I really think they are the worst looking class in the game.

Actually, I decided that the rit was wearing the headcover for a reason, after taking it off. Seldom do I leave the helm, scar, etc visible, but in this case, I am keeping her head in the towel.

Do you remember the necro girl in the old GW site/box?? The armour wasn't in game until we realized that wasn't a normal cheap armour, but a special one. maybe you get the other somewhere later in game

They mostly have a unique appearance. Like Cynn or Devona (AKA. Bootylicious).

The Assassin skills arent too great either. They changed a few things from the FPE, not very good changes IMO.

So yeah, I just had to make an assassin anyways. I grabbed some new armor, and I must say, she's looking much better. I mixed up a custom dye for a little personal touch. Whatcha guys think?



Btw the second screenie has the early access daggers which look as sharp as they are. :P

Mini skirts ftw. Now I just have to unlock Kage Bunshin No Jutsu ^_-

If you didn't like that, then you'll absolutely hate this one, which I kinda regret buying now *SPOILER*:

edit: It looks worse in-game, since you see it bigger. -.-

I thought that Rits wore the blindfold type headwraps was so that they can channel spirits without being distracted...

And yeah, Male Assassin looks like what you'd expect if SubZero joined the Village People.

. She was on a battleship-looking prop I believe, wearing a body stocking and some gaffer tape.....

So uhh guys...does the female warrior look a thing like Devona? Or does the ranger look like Aidan? Your forgetting that the Assassin on the cover is an actually character in the game. You don't want clones everywhere.

You don't want clones everywhere. Trust me, that assassin character in game looks equally as bad as the one you get to make. (same body model)

I think all the new stuff looks awsome and people are being too critical because they think it makes them somehow cool.

Picky, picky.
