Unusual desired slider bar? (NOT buttslider)

[DreadRabbit]

Uhm. Someone who runs around, and does consistent exercise wouldn't really have "pudge". You know what a swimmer or runner body looks like right? Thats what a WoL would look like, most likely. That or a beefcake (see Highlander/Roe).

How would someone who does what the WoL does have any body fat at all?

We have three foot tall humanesque beings swinging axes and great swords with the same power and speed as seven foot Goliaths of men. Those same Goliaths run at the exact same speed as the three foot little people. People with horns/ears and tails. People with green/purple/red/blue skin.

I understand that the best of fantasy stories are grounded in reality, but the whole "it's not realistic" thing was kind of thrown out the window before 2.0 even started.

Plus different bodies do hold onto fat differently. I've seen more than my fair share of wrestlers and military folks that were perfectly athletic and could perform their duties excellently, yet they maintained some pudge (particularly around the belly/lower belly). Some folks just have permanent pudge. Especially if they're beer drinkers (>__>) Sorry folks: as much ale as gets drank in this game you can bet there would be beer bellies walking around Eorzea.

As for the the slider I'd like to see? Honestly I'd agree with having a "fat" slider and a hip slider. From a perspective on female characters (as a woman), it's incredibly rare to rock C+ breasts yet have a size 0 waist. Some of the models have better limitations to reflect this (like the Au Ra. Even at max their breasts are still proportional to the rest of their bodies, and thus remain pretty small), but several of them look...odd when maxed. Like their backs should be snapping in half (Hello Minfillia!). It's also super rare to have a heavy chest but not have hips. Not even the Roe ladies of this game have hips that actually match their chests. While I'm not a fan of Black Desert Online that was one area they actually did very well: the girls actually looked proportionate to their body builds. My little witch/wizard girl actually had hips and thighs.

Granted that goes against my whole "realism" argument. The characters in this game are all gorgeous as they are, but I do agree if we had some more control over their proportions it would be nice.

Give us a percussion slider so these remixes of old FF tunes can actually sound good.

The bodies of the Hyur and Hyur-with-tails races are realistic. Plenty of people out there with fit, healthy bodies. That said, more character customization in general would be nice, including a body weight slider.

The only slider I want is for ejecting idiots out of my instances.

This. No one doing what the WoL does has time to put on visible extra pounds.

But we don't have rest periods. We don't have time for bulking phases. We just have near-constant travel and combat.

Edit: I wouldn't be opposed to a body-fat slider if we went from "any bit of customization will implode the servers" to "there are no technical limits to customization; go ham," but I really hope the max and min aren't all that far apart, like from slightly underweight to a bit overweight. I have that same hope for bulge and butt sliders, too, though, so it's not necessarily a general realism concern as it is a relative one -- from "How is the squat guy seemingly with three lalafells in his stomach sprinting as fast as I am?" to "*Looks down.* *Chuckles with pity.*"

If we are going down this road then why do we have tanks in bikinis? The WoL would be cut to bits. Meh, it would be nice to have differently shaped players
