I’m also really hoping for a lot more customization for the new player models, otherwise I think most people will still not really use them.

I’m glad the default models are getting a makeover, but I rarely see people play with the default models

Loving the new models! As someone who uses the base playermodels, will there be the same clothing options as is currently in game?

I’m gonna miss the old Masculine model. It’s almost close perfect for me.
But I’m not hating the new one. Looks pretty good! Feminine model too!

how customisable will the new models be?
and will it be possible to continue using the old ones? i feel these models won’t fit everybody who enjoyed using the previous ones.

I’m liking the look of these new models, they fit in with the overall style of the game. But yeah, would be interesting to know how customisable the said models are gonna be.

for 1.0 the playermodels will just be replacing the stock outfit options (beach, future, formal etc)

id like to have a lot of customization like clothing and hair options and detailed character customizing but that’ll be a ways off

I’ve been using the default player model since I started playing 7 years ago. It’s always been my favorite for the whole 3000-odd hours I’ve played. It seems like that might be about to change, though, unless they keep the option to use the current models. Because these new ones just aren’t my thing at all :frowning:
