Early Access Feedback - A minimal-dev time solution for decoupling class from gender - Forum

This is not entirely true, maybe for poe 1 bcs its an old game, but in any modern rig system you don't need to adjust every single model individually most of the time And when you think about it GGG already have to do this bcs the models and their rigs are different in both games, so any mtx that is going to work in both games already demands time bcs of this, this doesn't apply only to the upcoming cosmetics They need to find a more efficient way to do this, which probably involves changing the poe 1 rig system	Posted by Vyend#2601 on Jun 13, 2025, 8:17:02 PM Quote this Post

It's still early days, and I doubt they're going to be adding new models for 0.3.0 or anything, but if I recall Jonathan's reply to Talkative Tri correctly during that last interview (or maybe it was the Q&A with ZiggyD?), they're working on something which will do the job here. Expect them to be paid mtx, though, and not free game features, especially since they'd likely involve additional voice lines and such, and you should probably expect them to finish the game first.

Not that it will necessarily offer different genders. For me, a higher priority is making the ascendancy classes look different.

No one is actually worried about this, mainly because GGG already has a solution preliminarily in the game right now: they added a new category of mtx in the previous patch that would eventually let you swap the character model. Plus, PoE2 has all new model rigs that they've made easy to work with.	Posted by xwolves29#4304 on Jun 13, 2025, 9:48:03 PM Quote this Post
