REQUEST: Can we have both /changepose Poses?

[Imbrium]

I haven't read anything about SE admitting gender locking might have been a bad thing. Not saying they've made no such claim; I am just not aware of it. What I do know they have stated is anytime anyone brings up reconfiguring/modifying/anything to do with changing old content they will bring up resources, time, and content; all the same things I did.

Regardless of what any one player enjoys, what remains the constant is brand new content is the greatest source of fuel to keep the engines of the game's subs revved up in high gear. Even if you and many other players are 'ok' with new content being pushed back for this kind of purpose, what remains true is it is not healthy for the game overall, especially the long term.

You say that there are few gender locked things you care about in the game; the thing is though, the ratio of restricted vs non-restricted is heavily in favor of the latter, so there isn't a whole lot to fuss over in the first place. Also, the lifting of a restriction on one item does not warrant a lift on everything else. So sayeth the spider, lol.

When it comes to reflecting questions back and forth, we both know that gender lock stay or pass is not going to affect gameplay directly. This is undoubtedly QoL. As a QoL matter, what needs to be understood is the value in the time that is put in for a QoL change.

Had to snip a little off the end there.

Ah, I was wrong. It wasn't a mistake, it was to be more sensitive I think? Either way, they are making the changes, and seem to have more planned. The q&a for it is near the bottom.

Lifting the restrictions on one thing might not warrant it on another... unless there's enough interest. I'm assuming that's why the first item had it's removed in the first place, and the same should hold true here. If there is not enough interest, or it isn't something that can be done in a reasonable amount of time, I'd expect SE to pass on the idea. Asking however, never hurts.

We don't know how many players might want this change, honestly. We could be .3% of the playerbase, or 85% could want it. The former again I'd expect SE to just continue on its merry way, the latter I'd hope they'd consider adding it to their to-do list down the line. In betweern I would just have to really cross my fingers.

Do I want to take away from major content? No, of course not. Would I be fine if we delayed a new glamour or two if there was enough player interest in this? 100%. SE is already planning on making gender restricted changes anyway, if there is enough interest for the battle poses let's get them in.

I've already said it would be a qol change in a post above, so no argument there. Players will continue to ask for things they'd like to see in game, and we're no different in this thread.

So I made a thread asking for these using a term which was politically sensitive, and got a bit chewed out for it, but I am 100% in support of this (would kind of have to be after starting my own thread which asked for this exact thing).

How much time could this take the Dev's really? The animations exist, and works on all character models, since a Roe and a Lala can use the exact same battle emotes it proves that they are universal. The amount of DEV time would literally be spent on just enabling the emotes on the other genders; either adding a emote action with the genderswapped emotes, or programming the existing one to cycle through. No animations would need to be made.
Anyone against this, can ignore the change if it ever happened.

And yes this adds more variety as male and female characters will show variety with each other. Personality should drive emotes.

I don't understand why they go to the trouble of creating extra poses only to lock them behind something arbitrary like gender.

Please let us use our jobs' cool poses!
