Closed Dark Skintone Options for Elves!
Comments
I don't even play an Elf but even I think it's quite stupid that they haven't given Elf players the option of dark skintones after all these years. Honestly there's already way too much downright asburd modern day things you can have in the game at this point that shouldn't even exist given the setting of the game. Such as living scooters/food carts, electric guitars, a video camera, and probably even more stuff I'm not aware of. So if they apparently consider it fine to go inserting modern day stuff like that into a game like this then I see no good reason for why they can't just give Elves darker skintones already. That and honestly it seems like it would realistically and logically make more sense for the race living in the bloody desert to have the darkest skin color options anyways.
Exactly as Zeo says! ^^^^ There is no "lore" against dark skin. It's dark hair that's the "omen of disaster" (or whatever they called it). Dark hair. I'm so frustrated when people don't pay attention to the actual lore and then cite it incorrectly as though it makes some kind of excellent argument.
And also this is not Skyrim. I would know, I play Skyrim. Keep Skyrim out of Mabinogi; I do not want Hermaeus Mora getting his slimy tentacles all over my precious Fantasy Life. :<
There are no "High Elves" here.
And if the Devs have truly forgotten how to change skintones in the menu (as someone else I think mentioned), then the least they can do is release invisible items that will change it.
Ehh, how is this a fair trade, lol? Humans and Giants got their ice blue hair color from us (along with our light blue-greenish eyes) as an additional hair color option when we got our black hair option back in 2014... even so, we already got hair dye like two months ago so trading the black hair option in for 'dark skintone options' are pretty much irrelevant... and I feel like the skintones are something that should be shared by all three races. I just feel like this is one of those stupid attempts to try and shut almost everyone wanting dark skintones for elves down... Maybe you guys can get our Salmon Pink and one of those pastel green hair colors to make it up for us getting dark skintones though.
Heck, if it was up to me, I'd make it so all three races get all the hair, eye, and skin color options so there'd be no complaint but getting elves to finally have the dark skintones is our main focus right now for this thread... they could just like... copy-paste the skin options humans have and slap it onto elves... very simple situation too.
Anyway... I see someone else who voted 'No' thus making it six votes so far and I am really curious on their reasoning for voting no because as of right now, I can't really think of anything to be against elves getting dark skintones other than just to troll us.
Thought I'd link this thread in here since it has more posts on the subject (and b/c its buried in the general forums), and even even longer more in depth rant from me on the subject. I don't know which i find more insulting, the fact that dark elf skintones weren't a thing on release or that its just been crickets and tumbleweeds from the devs on the subject for years. *autistic angry grumbling*
I believe I have the darkest skin available on as an elf (I am the guy with neon pink outfit) and it's definitely not dark compared to the lost elf NPC's skin... yeah.
Why would elves have to trade anything in order to get something that the other two races already had from the get go?
And whaaaaa??? Why are people actually voting "no" on this????? It makes no sense?? They HAVE to be trolling. Isn't having more options better? It's freedom to have options, lots of options. Why would you ever say no to more options?? Options are amazing; never enough options.
If they were forest elves, sure, pale elves.
I mean... to be fair, people who were living in Courcle (which is a forest) were pretty dark in term of skintones.
But thank you for your support along with @Xiokun and @Stolias!
Yes I like the idea and it would be wonderful to have more options of skintones available as long as all three races can use those options.
Lemme post one art I got from my guildmate like two days ago.
As you can see... in this art, Zeo have a skintone that is bit more dark than the darkest skintone (for humans and giants) available in game... so I do think it'd be nice to have more variety of skin options for all three races to pick from too, including the one that is bit darker than our darkest skintone available as well.
Why not? The more options the better! Never enough options! ALL THE SKIN TONES!!
They can re-skin pet pixels just fine with different colors.
Not that I'm advocating for skin dyes (although that is one solution if they can no longer edit the character menu for whatever reason); I'm just pointing out that we seem to have more options for our pets to have whatever skin tone/fur color we want. (In the case of the foodcart, wood color lololol)
omg 10/10 best comment right there!
