First off, I wasn't sure where to post feedback where it would actually get read.  I know this is for the test server, but for a lack of a better place to post this, I'm posting it here. **Take note that my opinions are based on my personal character(s), mainly the character I spend 99% of my time on which is a Half Elf Male. I do understand the need to gain some ground on the Asian marketplace, and the idea of the SOGA models is a step in the right direction.  However, in creating new models there can't be anything that would make it so that you would lose the audience that you already have.  I do believe that the SOGA models will be used more then the standard models if some slight modifications were to take place.  I however do not plan on using the SOGA models after I have tried to modify my character on the character select screen with the SOGA models until somethings change. <ul> <li>Half Elf Males (not sure about the females) when they stand, it looks like they are getting a physical.  Meaning with the standard models the arms were relaxed and at the sides, which is normal.  With the new models they are a good foot and a half to two feet out from their body.  Looks extremely unnatural and just plain wierd.</li> <li>I have noticed on the character select screen where you can modifiy your existing characters for the SOGA models, under the head option/chin no matter how much you slide the bar, nothing changes.  So basically the lower half of your face you can't customize.</li> <li>After loading up the SOGA models and trying on the one Gi that I do own, it looked extremely tight, uncomfortably tight.  With the standard models the Gi looked rather loose and comfortable but now it's form fitting (actually looks like it's riding up the character's behind).</li> <li>Half Elfs lost their piercings for scars, not a very good choice IMO.  Piercings were a Half Elf thing, I was actually hoping for some more piercing combinations and options to be implimented with LU#16.  Was extremely dissapointed with this.</li> </ul> These are just some of my thoughts that I would like to see get looked into.  I am sure that there are a few for every race and gender.  However I do think that these changes should be made sooner rather then later.  Also since this is a feedback sorts of forum, I would also like to see some different armor.  I am tired of looking like a Fury & Warden, I know that there are a lot of people who feel that some armor changes need to be made.  Not simply dyes (don't get me wrong dyes would be nice to have) but some armor that actually looks differently! <div></div>
