These new 3rd job sprites came out not long ago. Let's be honest, they look quite awesome. What do you guys think. But, the question is, are we getting these?

Ooh, this looks really nifty, and the fact that it was posted in Hercules forums makes me even more curious. Assuming the full sprites exist somewhere on the internet already, I'd like to see them implemented myself (lol RK would have three different sprites). Of course, this kind of thing might take a while though - low priority is low. -

For now, i'll see if full sprites exist somewhere.


The RK dragon mount is all one sprite, so you can't normally mix and match any character sprite with any dragon sprite.

Allowing you to switch between two character sprites and mix/match them with dragon sprites would mean creating four new sprites for you to choose from (so you could have the old sprite on the new mount, and vice versa). While this is possible, it's a lot more time consuming then just simply adding in the other default sprites.

Basically, the sprite for any character, mounted or not is broken down into three moving images: the head/hairstyle, the body (including the mount, if applicable), and the equipment (hats, swords, shields, etc).

As for how to change sprites, I'd think we'd put that option in the stylist or something, but kafra rental would work too I guess...? Or rather, you would select weather you wanted to look like the old or new RK on the stylist, and based on that selection, your mount would naturally correspond when you selected it from the kafra rental.

I like Shadow Chaser one... And I'm a little bit negative with Arch Bishop sprite but I could eventually go with it. Sura is also nice, but it kind of lost a bit of awesomeness as for me, you know, the hardy look |3

They're quite nice, but yeah, it's not like they have high priority.

We're adding all the resources from kRO, jRO, iRO, twRO, etc soon. Issue is that something like needs clientside work.

Sorc sprite is way hotter and cool  :P

[BeI]

If you mean choosing permanently when job changing, I'd have to disagree.

I'd rather have it be a certain costume the stylist gives. I would hate having to choose between the two and end up regretting the choice.

Well, making new custom sprites is always a tedious issue, so it'll probably be while before I actually start working on things like a custom palette, more hairstyles, new sprites, etc. I'm willing to do it, but just know that these kinds of custom changes take a very long time to do, and of course, the payoff is small.

small...yet satisfying

Talking about sprite..

is it possible to add a feature where a player can "wear" (or change) their sprite to another job? or at least the sprites of their own job class.

Like I mean, a Genetic can change their sprite to Creator. because creator has better sprite

You mean like a costume sprite attached directly to your character (IE: not equipment)?

And It's certainly possible in theory, but I am concerned that people would use it to hide their class during WoE/PvP/BG. I can see it causing confusion with leveling and MVP parties too.
 

[Randfeon]

Reminder that those aren't really new sprites, as Rytech said in that thread they're basically alternate cash shop sprites for those classes.
Wouldn't mind seeing them here, though. And while we're at it, wouldn't mind seeing the official alternative palettes here either.

Yes.
Maybe disable it on WoE/PvP/BG?
Will it still be confusing even with class and level restriction? like maybe only max leveled 3rd jobs can use them.

     Having max level third job being the only ones able to switch into their transcendent sprites could work, as you'd still be able to see the yellow aura, showing that they were actually level 175.

 

     However, this idea is not compatible with the idea of letting every class in the game (snipers, novices, taekwons, etc. etc.) all get to level 175 anyways (an idea that I'm still discussing with the rest of the team). In my opinion, allowing all classes to cap out at 175, regardless of their job would be a more valuable change then disguising your third class character as another class. It still means that rangers will look like rangers, suras will look like suras, and so on and so forth.

     How does that idea sound to you?

Isn't non-3rd jobs' and 3rd jobs' aura are different?

Yeah, transcendent aura is blue while 3rd job is yellow

Rebellion =/= third job, and they get the yellow aura. Rekt.

Yeah, that's why class restriction?
Rebellion who wear Gunslinger's sprite will look like Gunslinger with yellow aura.
