I find it amusing that it's perfectly fine for female characters to have back-breakingly large breasts, but when there's even a hint of males having a bulge for once "Oh no, can't have that!" -_-


(Note that that comment's not directed at you, just at the general idea that there was something wrong with it that needed "Fixed" in the first place. It's not like it was comically oversized or obscene.)

I think the the thing is we have control over the breast size not the package size. frankly I say let us make the femal boobs even more obscenely large and give us control over the guys junk from Vienna sausage to ron jeremy on viagra

This game was made in the same country that brought the world Barbie and Ken dolls.
You remember what they look like naked don't you?

I for one wouldn't mind seeing a few outfits in this game that better showed off the "male bulge" that we all know should exist in some of these tighter outfits. But considering the legacy of Barbie and Ken it's not really surprising that this game would consider that a "problem" that need to be fixed.

Did you have to say "fixed"?

I was thinking the only saving grace of having the helmet be detail 2 (thus blocking all detail 2 options) was that it would be usable with hats, hoods, and half-helmets. So are you are saying its only going to be a detail 2 with the generic head with hair?

I recently rewatched Classic Star Trek episode "The Tholian's Web". I half hope these new suits sparkle as much as those did...

Think I could get away with a space-themed guy names "Package From Space"?

I think he got it backwards. Quite a few people were wanting an opaque version, akin to Mysterio or a modern astronaut. I think that's what we was saying he'd like.

Yes please. Bumping for this idea from earlier in the thread.
Metallic, specifically, was my request.

Hear, hear. Well said.
I think it's a cousin to the same mentality that keeps guys from getting a Tops With Skin Category with V neck and Deep V tops, that male characters can't have sexy bits because we're supposed to be dressed from head to toe in armor. At this point, I am actually surprised that the old guard of Devs even allowed male toons to go shirtless, let allow gave the guys that bondage strap top.

But I digress - the set is shaping up quite nicely, and I thank you also for showing us that guys get the belt buckles and the skull cap-thingie!

The rifle works fine for beam rifle IMHO.

Pistols also. Maybe at lv4 they would look strange, but once you've got swap ammo and you're running any of the toggles, the pistols would be fine. Heck doing bullet rain with cryo ammo would look more reasonable coming from those than from semi autos!

On a related note:
DP set animations have the slides moving back on the pistol. I say 'animations' because you'll notice the same pistols do NOT animate their slides in the thugs power set. It's reasonable to speculate that the devs have some kind of trigger to animate their pistols when doing those attacks, and we may see glowy rings or something when we fire.

Just speculating, don't get your hopes up, but food for thought.

Not really. They both demand attention that many people don't want demanded. States-Eunuch draws attention because something you're expecting isn't there. The spacesuit grabbed attention because it was too prominent (not over-sized in particular, just too noticeable).

The key is to find the neutral ground where the eye acknowledges and dismisses the anatomy unless the viewer wishes to spend more time examining it.

Or people could, y'know, just get over it.


Where to find me after the end:
The Secret World - Arcadia - Shinzo
Rift - Faeblight - Bloodspeaker
LotRO - Gladden - Aranelion
STO - Holodeck - @Captain_Thiraas

Obviously, I don't care about NCSoft's forum rules, now.

They *could*, but they *won't*. That's fandom for you.

Now you are just asking for too much. (j/k)

It is annoying that some people want the male bulge removed. Not a new thing though. I heard they had to CG Brandon Ruth's package down in the Superman movie.

Yeah, I can see how it could be a huge bit of emotional baggage to overcome for some people.

Gonna say no. I don't think that if there is hair under it, like right there, it would be possible for them to add the hat.


Goodbye. Not to the game, but the players. Goodbye. Everyone, remember to have fun. That's all I can say.

We probably aren't going to get that option -precisely- because it'd be a little too easy to make Buzz clones that way.
