Was watching the stream that was posted in the recent update about Cube maps.

and there's a section where they look at the character creator, featuring what looks like the new avatar refresh face.

I'm sorry but the new faces are so ugly looking... I don't think the art team did a good job at all.

This really makes me depressed for when the update drops, that my character that I've enjoyed playing with for years is gonna look like that..

I'm really hoping you guys offer some kind of option in Solomons for loyalty points to play with the current avatar because what you're working on is not gonna work for me.

Jagex really needs to refresh it's work force. because I think a lot of the departments are lacking sufficient talent. The only team that gets anything good done anymore is the ninja team.


-The Male face has a GOOFY overbite and big nose.
-The female face looks gaunt with bags under her eyes? like an old woman or a drug addict.

Can we PLEASE PLEASE get OPTIONS to change facial features, so every character isn't running around with the same stupid face.

Note: If it seems like I'm being overly harsh or emotional it's for good reason.
I love this game and I don't want my experience to be ruined by something that I'm really anxious about.
I cannot handle another irreversible update that destroys my enjoyment of the game.

You knew the Avatar Refresh is coming and have been anxious for over 3 months from this thread already:

I am glad they told us we will see the first great results of this fascinating project in production shortly after the full RS3 Mobile release. :)

Jagex is definitely listening and liking all the praise on their new shiny artworks and Avatar Refresh. It has already been in the work for 3+ months and many think it is too long already. :)


I'm talking about criticism not praise.

Does Jagex listen to people who do not endlessly praise them, but also raise concerns for their design choices?

I'm curious Dilbert, can you name a single thing jagex has ever done wrong?

They listen to both criticism ad praise.

Of course I can name plenty of things Jagex has done wrong. I have always been criticising their lame signature heroes and avatar. For instance, I also said merely telling somebody Ariane, Ozan et al are signature heroes is just like telling us Jambon and Baby Troll are signature heroes. I have also been criticisng Jagex of neglecting the player avatar and that didn't make the players feel like they are immersed in the game.

I am glad Jagex has listened and now they are continued to improve the signature heroes, making new ones like Thok and Charos, as well as making the World Guardian larger than life as he really should be. :)

These models, and most of the recent scenery we got, is ugly not only/necessary because of the design but because of textures. Everything looks made of plastic, with weird shining, weird shadows and over designed. IMO, everything nowdays looks unfinished texture wise; and the new character models make no exception. The hair seems to be made of plasteline and the face made of wax. While the new models are, design wise, superior to the older models, the older models(current ones in this case) look more natural and blend with the rest of the game. Its almost like im playing on low details when i see such things.
