Bulge size options for character creation.

[Enur]

Sure, i can go for this. But only if existing armor changes accordingly.




But for real, why is this suggestion a thing? It has to be the most ridicoulus thing ive seen requested on here.

I hope this is just a troll thread. I thought it was.

Yeah, some outfits inherently obscure them... but SE already factors that in when creating armour sets. It's more feature of some sets of armour, than anything... a lot of their caster gear is tunics with trousers, particularly for males.

Nope. Just like bust on females armors will be made with preset shapes regardless of size with exception to a certain few. Bust size big or small, won't change how it looks on almost all gear besides bikinis, RSE(Racially Specific Equipment), and... I think that's it?

So like females, you will only see bulge on underwear/thong items.

That's only an issue with a slider, per se, and only so based on their current technology. It doesn't factor in that they may be improving on char creation as time goes by. It's certainly not an argument for keeping things that way.

They could just make it bigger and not add a slider. But what about the guys that didnt want it bigger? Then you run into issues. And even if they improved their technology, realistically.. come on. In most of the clothing today you can't look and tell what a guy is packing unless he's wearing something really tight. Unlike bust on a woman. This is where its different. Your bulge will have to be really big to notice it on anything not tight O.o which I'm that point, the line is already crossed.

Both midlanders and highlanders can alter their muscle tone, FWIW.

A bulge is not comparable to that, as you won't see it unless you're only in your underwear, and I'm sorry but I do not support the development team wasting time on a bulge slider/redo just so the LGBT community of Balmung
has a better time ERPing.

Then don't support it. You'll pay to play the game anyway, so big diff it'll make to them. As long as you can make your tiddies bigger, no big issue, right? How much do you think the feature would cost to implement, by the by, as an addendum to their reworking of the models, which is bound to occur sooner or later?

Or they could just add an on/off feature for it, as they did in WOW with the old/new models. Not difficult. Some people may not like it, but hey, can't please everyone... and if they added some sort of toggle for it, that'd leave little excuse for any opposition to it. To be clear, the tech improvement comment only relates to the sliders carrying over customisation options. Albeit, I'd note that some people do transmog into bikinis and the like, anyway.

This might be the case for Hyur, but looking at the Roegadyn, I think there is room for a noticeable bulge given how large the race itself is.

hahahahaha, now we have come to the point where thinking low-key pixel bulges are fine is equal to misandry XD

The amount of sheer full-blown ridiculousness has really crossed the line here. I suggest you take your own advice and get a reality check because obviously YOU
cant get over not having a well-endowed pixel bulge in a game.

I've had my fair share of harassment ingame because of idiot players who can only think with their genitalia, so I do not need more of that crap by enhancing stupid and redundant features like bulges.
Because it is bound to happen. And all of that just so a few ERPers can run around naked with their bulges. Lol.


Anyway, I'm out of this discussion.

Sorry penises make you sad.
Why not take my advice and use the report feature and blacklist them?

Bye o/

Why not let everyone run around naked, jiggle effects and all then? Since they are only pixels after all right?

I hope you're realizing why your pixel argument is silly.

Pixels put together create images that can offend people or be inappropriate for a game. That's what ratings are for. Pixels have weight. Yoshi already had to think hard on whether or not he could allow players to smoke or drink.

Whether you want to believe it or not, a visually big penis is a sexual theme in media. Sorry it's how it is. For women, big bust, big butt? Sexual theme in media. It's how it is. Don't act like it doesn't exist.

Allowing players to have a big bulge so you can see it outlined in your underwear or pants is a sexual theme.

If you paint an image of something offensive/inappropriate you can't say "Lol chill it's just paint". No doesn't work like that. The paint created an image that has a meaning. Same goes for pixels.

You make a good point, but as far as I'm concerned, if someone with a big bulge walks up to you, and you find it uncomfortable, you can teleport away. If someone harasses you, there are locations where you can go such as a locked FC house, apartment, FC room or log out entirely to avoid them. You can blacklist them, report them. What is the point of a report feature if the game coddles you 100% of the time, that would be inane.

EDIT: Also Faliandra had a good point with how you bash her about taking pixels seriously. But look at you.

What about me? I bash her mostly because she insinuated I am insecure about my masculinity that I require a bulge slider to validate it. Sorry, but that's just plain rude and uncalled for, and if she's going to be happy and positive about it not being in the game, and that my masculinity is going to "take a hit", even more reason to fight for it, because I'd love to see a "useless/meaningless" thing in the game that would make her unhappy that she never got her fairy glamours and couple emotes which are just as meaningless and useless.

The pixels argument isn't that strong, you're right about that, but I've already explained myself why I'm so worked up about Faliandra's posts.

...

Well what else could they add to the races that already do have a muscle slider (ie. Roegadyn, Hyur Midlander and Highlander) if all the rest of the races got it? There would be an imbalance in sliders since, Au Ra and Miqo'te have their tail slider, and Lalafell and Elezen have their ear slider.

In the end, I would argue rather than a slider, just change the meshes to appear less flat. It's like having all the breasts in a game be A-cup size.
