We still care deeply about the Shape of our characters..[Dev Request]

[Vejjiegirl]

Or at least I do (I don't speak for everyone) ...

Now that we are almost a year into the first expansion would it be possible to finally restore our character lower body shapes, while ..fixing the lower body of the new races as well?

I actually asked this question back in 2014 but there is never any word

As a result of thinking about what could be done to fulfill the above objectives all while converting everything over and optimizing all the data by completely remaking the graphics engine, we decided to reduce the cost by simplifying items that were too complex when making them. One aspect of this was the graphical display of waist equipment.

I deeply apologize for those of you who were really partial to what Miqo’tes looked like in 1.0, but this decision was made so we could relaunch with new races and a lot of new equipment.

Sadly it wasn't just miqo'te that were effected by this



It seems almost all races were reduced in order for them to meet the costs for ARR Launch, while the new races (at the time) FemRoe, Male Miqo'te, Female Highlander were also given a lower body reduction.

(On a side note I don't think Female Au Ra were as effected by this as the other races)

I really do miss how I looked back in the day.

Nah, Au Ras are just as flat. Same as every other female in this game.

Yeah basically this.

The big difference is the way their default idle pose is, it makes it stick out a bit more making it look like it isn't as flat.

It's not a big enough issue to have this thread a thousand times.

Pixel asses. Really.

Perhaps the incidence of this topic is an indicator that this, in fact, a big issue for many.

pretty much this, I'm on the fence of not really caring, personally, but I can understand where people are coming from, and, with the volume that this complaint comes up, maybe it SHOULD be re-evaluated by the dev team at some point

There, fixed it.
