yeah, they had put a lot of effort in there other than just having the social dance like for other classes....
this kamael-only-kamael sub thingie is also a mark of their laziness, instead making all the skill animations for the kamaels and armors, they figured it's enough to add some weak story so that no-one asks what's up....
another interesting thing that there are like millions of no-grade weapons, but not that many from the higher grades, instead they make these wth items, summons, pets and whatever about what no-one rly cares about

their designers have no imagination..
rly
dude
tell me which ng weps do u use?
only the fuking crap that u receive as a newb wep
and only 2 ng sets
wooden set for the bonus and the devotion set for the 15% cspd
nobody gives a damn fuck about the rest

they do have imagination, just they're frigin lazy
maybe they have tooooo much imagination on the s86 sets, they are literally burning now
s80, s82, s84, s86 but they still didn't make new hairstyle for example, simplicy was one of the key elements of l2, with this updates it starts to look like wow

dynasty=so stupid with all that purple
look how cool IC looks
like a real breastplate
now white crap with pink leather..its not even chain
and vesper =stupides idea ever
they look like shit
too many details and elements
good look is not always thousands of details

Imo orc mytic male is fine, mainly if subbed as Tyrant. It is really awesome.

IMO orc fighter male is too big to be a tyrant... but only my opinion

Human mystic female is cute as a BD.
NCSoft created a new animation for human mystic bladedancers and swordsingers too. too bad they do not care about the rest of the classes.

Seriously the one thing all they need to do is add exactly what aion is running, a fully customizable character from the start. Height, weight, hair, beards and stuff etc..... If they would add that to freya(which, reading about crafting vesper, the changes in places like beast farm and stuff, dual summon/dual spell cast etc... would pawn), it would seriously pawn!

At the end of the day, the world of l2 is the least unique out of any mmorpg, because theres hundreds of players out there that look exactly the same.

dynasty is x-mas-ish, that's the only reason me likez it=o3
IC man, that rox, one of the best armors ever created in any video game

details...y, that's the keyword that i looked for, theca doesn't have almost and detail, neither bw sets and they are still unique and cool looking

i would choose bw light on huma female every time over vesper, nm, majestic, dynasty, whatever...

amrx, full costumizing is not rly a good thing, for ex on aion the height set was annoying, like u don't want to make a huge char, neither a small one and u still end up sometimes either one
it's like if in l2, there would be 4 dark elf males, one is 50cm, one is 80, one is 150, one is 360 and they look the same? it'd look too stupid

imo it's good as it is, just needs like 20-30 hairstyle, in-game changeable facial expression[like lol female delves smiling when dead, the only thing it does is closing her eyes, or shouting/laughing with closed mouth], 2-3 build, 5-10complex and voilá

i think what amrx said was the sam as u did
rly l2 needs more customizations and what i liked in aion was exactly that i can change almost everything
so i have tank-like huge asmodian or assassin asmodian-thin not very tall but not short either
human dagger=bundle of muscles..kkthxbb
de tank=thin faggot..imo even if they wont put the effort to add char customizing they could at least make them change after each class transfer a bit
like all de fighters are thin and tall
then depending on that if ur a tank or assassin ur char changes a bit
3rd class change makes the difference even more noticable
u cant have shillen templar looking just like lvl 1 char-like its made of glass..
elves -just dislike them..when i look at that loser i never imagine a hero pwning asses...

Lets just hope the looklikeyou part will be implemented in L3.
