Give back Fashionhammer

[phononHYPE]

I love my looks and gear, and hunt for the best looking stuff for me. If they can't see it... hrmmm, don't know how I feel about that. Sure you can actually gage the level of your foe, but... damn it! I look SO cool I just need to share it!

You guys act like 70% of playerbase wouldn't use default skins.

That my enemies on the battlefield were able to see me and my brothers in arms as part of a unified regiment in the style of classical Warhammer tabletop was a big part of my enjoyment of the game so I'm sad to see it removed.

Sure, part of the appearance system still exists but the way I play the game it forces me to choose between being able to compete in RvR (wearing what ever gear is best in terms of the stats) or expressing my identity as an ordinary rank and file soldier for my enemies to see (which generally means wearing lower level armor since higher level armor is in most cases far too fancy/flashy).

Of course increasing the performance of the server is always a good idea (and obviously more important than the effects on my personal style of playing the game) and since I don't know a lot about the technical stuff I just want to ask: is there any way to bring back the appearance system as it was before the patch while keeping the performance fixes or is that not possible and cross-realm appearances are gone for good?

Well said! Hope to hear from Max on the matter.

While I agree that it sucks to not see the proper enemy appearance, this was an unintended consequence of improving/restoring basic functionality. One cannot really complain about that. Hopefully, it can be "restored" sometime in the future. In the meantime I guess i'll have to re-enable nameplates to be able to distinguish between good and bad players.

There has been no word out that they intend to attempt to restore appearaces to be visable for enemiesl.

Yes, but evidently this is something alot of players want which may sway a dev to look into it sometime in the future.
