heyas, got a sligth problem, not really a major issue, but:
the player race models havent changed on my account at all andi have no idea why :/
now i thought it might be a problem with my DLed version from goa servers, so i deleted that and got the DLGamer one and installed it all etc
but still same thing, i get new mobs all the instances, got my vamp, but the models are still old and i want the new ones :)

so ye if anyone can give any hints as to why this is, thatd be gr8, im gonna rightnow it aswell, but im sure theyve got tons of emails about stuff, so betetr ask here aswell,

THX

What graphics card do you have? Some cards don't support the new modells. (if you can't use ToA reflective water, you most likely can't use the models either).

Don't worry about it, there are many ugly skins, depends what race it is etc, I'm not particularly happy with how frostalf and kobold look in chain armor for example, I use use the catacombs client when exping my valkyrie in the new dungeon:-) Oh, I'm a sinner, gone back to mid for a bit. Elves rock though.

yea - if you wear scale armour it looks like your an american football player..

have to resist the urge to shout hut-24-28 whenever i see my chars in scale :p

i think getting new models whether they are ugly or not was a major attraction for me to catacombs. just think - youve been staring at the arse of the same few characters without them ever changing for three or so years. time for an updat imho. :bunny:

I'm having the same problem

My Race Models haven't updated either. and just like you said I could never see the TOA reflected water either. So you reckon my grafics card isn't up to par? hmmm this is definately not a good thing. *sigh*

I seem to be using the NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 440/MX 440SE

tbh not really sure what that means or what have you. But if its not good enough I might have to upgrade...

maybe cata has a graphics option this time as well ;)
