Its one of those thing where nobody really cared to notice or even had a problem with the old one. They're completely fine.
Makes you wonder why bother spending art time on something nobody asked for, nobody complained about, nobody noticed.
New outfit looks good though, so ye.
You didn’t notice and you didn’t complain, but that doesn’t mean others didn’t. We don’t do things unless there is feedback from the community and we spend a lot of time looking at the feedback. It also only took a couple of hours and to the art team, that’s worth it for more consistency when it comes to the in-game human assets, especially ones that are seen so frequently.
Fair enough. Didn't mean to be a jab at the art team. Like i said, the art itself is beautiful.
Old guard with chainmail just seems fine and they're already unique to varrock to begin with. If anything it is Falador guards that seems outdated.
At the end of the day, I don't have the data whether people actually complained about these. If they do, then fair enough. Just seems petty to me IMHO. That is all.
Hope you don't take it personally, and I hope I don't seem come forward as such, just look at it as feedback from a customer.
Sorry if I came off a bit blunt, I see too many comments claiming that "nobody asked for this" when that's never the case and it tends to rub me the wrong way. Even if there weren't complaints, having a consistent asset for humans is more important, especially when the edge cases are so few. I believe it's only the knights of the round table and the guards in Keep Le Fay that utilise those animations and models and they were the initial prototypes for the human model rework that came with HD in 2008.
Perhaps it is a small and petty complaint to address but it feels worth it to me. I don't take feedback personally, you've got to get used to it when you've been working on the product for as long as I have :P
