As much as I like the lore of these guys, nomadic lifestyle and all, when I saw them on some videos I was a bit sad how ugly they were, I have to play a beautiful person, it's a huge priourity.

But props for the original of this race creation, we need more original races. Seems like this one was destined to be a range-dps type, I would not be surprised if WILD got bonuses with this race.

^^ with you here! It could all be solved if they just went back to the old character model . . .

Does anyone know how the Ferres model change has been received by people in CBT4?

When I last checked out the race distribution percentages, the Ferres had BY FAR the lowest percentage penetration, but I had dismissed this as the result of how popular the Hariharan humans are.

*sigh* still miss this version of the Ferres . . . why, oh, why did they ever waste productive time changing it???

[Byhalia]

I was originally furious about the change to the ferres, but then I eventually got over it and now I'm not sure which version is more awesome; they both have their pros/cons, the older version seeming more wildcat-cheetah rather than lion/tiger like the new models. It would be awesome (yet extremely unlikely) to have both choices.

I mainly want to know why they changed it, the reason as to the sudden, near complete redo of the ferre

Me too . . . I just don't get it. As for the whole, lion v. cheetah body shape issue, they could readily solve this by offering multiple physiques or a limited slider. Most of my hatred of the new model stems from the hunch in the male's back--it's simply grotesque.

My fingers are crossed that the total lack of any face options for the Ferres and the relative unpopularity of the race as compared to the other three playable races indicates that they might go back to the old model by CBT5. It's probably a vain hope, but I'm going to hope all the same.

As far as I've read through sketchy Google translations, much of the Korean playerbase are a little disappointed by the change. I think that they were kind of digging the Na'vi look, but the character concept was reworked to turn the Na'vi in to Ronso. :\

I'm betting that we're seeing a very, very bare-bones character creator at this point in time, though. I don't think XL will let the feedback of their players fall on deaf ears. They have a lot more to do with the creator and customization, I'm certain--especially as a sandbox MMO.

Loved the Na'vi look--even if I didn't conceive of it as Na'vi.

wow, that is a really, really disappointing change.
I loved the wild feel of the Ferre, I have had a cat race toon in every game that offered one, I am always a cat! There are so many games that have done the bulky lion version of a cat person, I was REALLY looking forward to a slimmer more wild looking model.

/sigh owell, guess it is time to take another look at the elves.

[Trancend]

i wil probably chose this cus they look cool!

[Master Vaillie]

I think this race is amazing but i probably won't play it(we'll see). it will probably be the most crowded race, and i don't like being the same as everyone else.
