Heu .. j'ai toujours pas compris ... c'est quoi les SOGA Models ???

lol le modèle SOGA à ce que j'en ai entendu dire est une représentation plus "japan" des personnages

heuuu ... je sens que ca ne va pas me plaire cette histoire !

C'est au choix, tu peux très bien choisir de garder l'apparence actuelle, autant pour ton perso que pour les autres persos

Et puis autant leur soit disant modele SOGA ça sera juste le /cutemode qui grossit les têtes



Sinon, on se demande pourquoi ils changent ça et pas les problèmes de gameplay ... à suivre

en fait je crois qu'il faut plutot comprendre que les mobs à tuer pour faire popper les named sont mieux identifiées pour pas avoir à tuer une deli douzaine de mobs à chaque fois

Ah vi, ça voudrait déjà + dire quelque chose mici Kara

Non non c'est différent du /cutemode, les SOGA models c'est ça.

il est clair que les SOGA n'avantagent pas toutes les races
