I've been enjoying the swimming places in the housing areas and I was wondering if we can get tanning mechanics!?...
It could last for several days and there could be special foods that affect the duration and/or effects of the tan, of course SE must make it so that skin gets browned the way it would work naturally taking into consideration the clothing being worn at the time of taking the sun!...
And since we're talking about fun related mechanics we could (should) also get some new emotes like eating ice Popsicle and the usual drinking of a bottle of milk!... :o

Balmung would have a field day with those emotes.

10-15-2017, 06:57 AMAster_EOther servers like Greg would also have a field day, and then they'd blame Balmung.Quote:

Could we also get a bending over while looking through legs emote? Oh oh and how about a bouncing on bed in slow motion emote too?

Hmm would the tanning be optional? I like to have control over the way my characters look and would hate a forced tan.
I tried having a tan once, I just ended up looking like an oompa loompa. -

Popsicle emotes...
I might roll a male ROE for this. -

I think we need to get the simple food eating emote first.

Would not at all like the tanning mechanic, unless it's not forced on us. I'm a very pale moon keeper for a reason. I picked this on purpose because I like it.
A splash emote would be super cute though! -
10-15-2017, 04:46 PMErryKThat's true, this is the only game that has male Roes.Quote:

In the theme of warm weather and swimming i would like an emote that let me "fan myself" like what the housing enthusiast has been doing for the last couple of years. :p
Why? Why not! -
10-15-2017, 09:28 PMAivi_lo
I want a sitting down and reading emote :)
-
10-15-2017, 09:31 PMLaylaTsarra
I'll settle for some new stylish bathing suits! ;)

Now I that I think about it, I question how my character and others with extremely pale skin tones avoid getting a killer sunburn, moreso in places like Thanalan.

"Blessing of Hydaelyn" sunscreen

A /splash emote seems like a fun idea that I can deffinetely get behind, but I can just imagine the time it would take to code something like the OP suggests for tanning (including making sure it also works without bugs), and it makes me instantly fearful of the idea.
The ERP community would have a absolute field day with a popsicle emote though -

Would rather they spent time on making swimming not-flying. Add underwater enemies, maybe a 3D element to combat where distance above/below the target is accounted for. Instead of having swimming be a complete waste of time with the swimming areas being the absolute ugliest areas in the game.

Farmers tan yes! I support this
-

Not to be the killjoy here, but I rather like my skincolor and dont want to be forced to buy/craft sunscreens to keep it that way.
I am however all in favor of popsicle, beachball and splash emotes. -

Remember the food I mention in the first post!?...
That actually means the tanning mechanic is to be enabled through certain types of food only, your skin will not tan by itself no matter how long you stay under direct sunlight!...
I don't think it would be impossibly hard to code into the game since it already allows you to choose your skin color when creating a new character, the tanning mechanic would be like a gradient that goes from your original skin color to a darker one (tone/shade/duration depending on the food) then slowly returns back to normal!...
If the game just adds a color over the character model then it would be relatively easy to do, on the other hand, if the game makes use of a single body model x skin color then it would just swap them ... say, everyday until the skin reached the desired color and then again until it went back to the original tone/shade!...
As you can see this has no effect on anyone who don't want to use it but allows for the ones like me to have much more fun!... http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/i...lies/smile.png -
