The extent to which daz has gone on the path they want us to follow isn't hard to see.  There never was even a D4, but there is for the g thing.  Luke and Laura, nothing, until the g thing.  Someone weight mapped David, giving him a little more time.  V4 was weight mapped, some improvement but far from a figure designed with that in mind. 

How can anyone say Dawn is going to be "V# with a new hat?"  As far as I know, nobody has seen her yet.  But she looks like it?  Based on what?  Based on one morphed render by Sarsa?  From that, we deduce that she's "V# with a new hat"?

Lack of support for (Name least favored figure here), what do you need?  Another figure with ten thousand pieces of skankwear or impractical fantasy armor? 

Yes, there's a ton of stuff out there for v4, still leaving me to go to Poserworld for something I think I want to use, or search sharecg to see what's there that's decent.  Ten thousand pieces of clothing and 9999 of them not what I want, that means there's one that's available.  IT also means I'm going to go where I know I can find something suitable, not spend hour after wasted hour searching through the rest that I don't want.

The snarling, howling hate filled witch with a warhammer in each hand, for those that like such things, fine.  But there are more than a couple that have said the same as I just did.  For us, the support for v4 isn't there either.  SOmehow I get the feeling that a lot of people would rather poison any attempt at any new figure, no matter how good or versatile, before it can even get off the ground.  Let's wait until we see the figure and have a play with it before we're saying it's not better.  It probably will be, much better.

I've already dropped vicky out of my  runtime and I'm using Roxie.  I don't have to depend on someone else to give me a different face, I can get what I want without them.  Mike ain't there anymore either, and neither of them will be coming back.
