This thread is about butts.

[Penguinmayhem]

I agree we need Butt Sliders.

I think we need plenty more customization options on the character builder. It's nice as it is, but having a boob size slider sitting there being the blatant odd one out is a bit dumb. Let people alter the proportions of their characters more freely, behinds or otherwise.

I 200% support this thread.

But lets say they finally add this, we will now need to receive a free Phial of Fantasia to fix our existing characters.
I wouldn't want to be stuck wth this flat ass because i already used my Phial(s).

Additionally for those wondering;


"What the hell is this mesh deformer we keep hearing of?"

1:00, demonstrates how in 1.23 they would design one piece of armour and create variated attachments to add to the armour to re-use it.

1:23 demostrates the mesh deformer and how it affects the topology it comes into contact with.

Less talk about mesh deformers and more butts please.

Descriptions of posters real life butts are welcome but please be accurate in your description.

You're going to need two watermellons and a knife...

I came here for the butts, but all I got was the tail end!

Hey I thought it was funny! '.'

On a side note, if I remember correctly, Long robes in 1.x clipped with at least the miqo'te butt when moving. The cheeks might want to make an appearance, but when you become a ghostly cheeker, it's not a rear you wanna get behind.Our butts might be a little lacking, but with a fair amount of current EG gear having tassets or being robes, I rarely get to see my unrounded rump.

Instead, I get to see my feet clip into every robe every time I run. =_=;

Not surprising, it happened in 1.x as well. But this was about butts not my feet.

I think the point was that either way there is clipping, if not with the butt then elsewhere on the same items. Essentially the reduction was redundant, if it was to solve the problem of clipping, especially if you consider the loss in overall quality of the character model in other gear.

With that said, I understand your original comment was a light-hearted look-on-the-bright-side for our current situation, so I get that argument is unnecessary

Bump.... cuz it made me lol

You know, what we need for this topic is a leader. Someone who will make a thread with a respectable title, will update the op, and who is reasonably well informed in general about how the development processes work regarding character models and gear. Someone who will present the argument in such a way as to give the community team reason to continue bringing this issue to the devs.

A big problem we have now is that the topic sounds immature at first glance, so people get on their high-horse and attempt to derail the discussion with the usual "go play x" or "go watch y". The only way this has a shot is if we are taken seriously, and yet we must keep it positive despite those who would get in our way.
