(Request) Unlock gender restrictions on weapon cposes!

[VenKitsune]

Okay, so im sure many of you know what cpose is, right? Otherwise known as changepose, its text command is /cpose or /changepose. It can be used to change the specific type of idle animation your character is doing while they are sitting, laying down on a bed, or standing.

Now, all of those are race unique, and there is usually 4 different options for each race/gender combo. For example, when standing up one of them is usually crossing your arms, one is hands on hips etc etc. I generally think this is fine, you have 4 options after all, so i dont think that really needs to be changed any time soon...But there is one thing about cpose that DOES need to change as i'll explain.

...Now, Lets have a look a cposes when your weapon is drawn - These, we only have one option, on or off, and are locked exclusively by gender, with race having nothing to do with it.

My request is this - Unlock the gender lock on these, allow us to choose between the two as we please.

I know many male characters who wanted the female dark knight pose for example - Meanwhile, as a female character, i want the male one! And a few of the other jobs male ones too! Why can't we have the option of both? Surely it'd be as simple as changing/removing a few lines of code, right? Its obvious that every race uses the same animation skeleton, so i dont imagine it'd be that hard, right? I mean when the weapon drawn cpose is the same on a female lalafell, a female hyur, and a female roe then you know that despite the massive differences in body shape, it surely must be even simpler to just allow us the CHOICE of the two?

We're not even asking you to add new animations, just allow both genders to be able to use both rather than having one animation for each gender!

impossible, females are just too weak to hold their axes with a single hand.

This sounds familiar...

I got a lot of support and over 100 likes in this thread I started last year, hopefully if they take anything into consideration on the forums, that would get noticed at some point...I obviously still want this to happen.

This is animu game my man, where cats and lizards with barely muscular mass can handle giant axes and big armors.

Yamete kudasai etc.

Except this is a fantasy world we're talking about and our characters should be capable of anything we want them to do.
Also you're underestimating the strength of polygons

I’d have to say out of the many things I like about this game, this is probably one of the biggest I don’t. I’d like to be able to interchange the stances

This guy gets it.

It's also impossible for men to plant their swords down. Everyone knows males don't have the coordination to do it.

I'd actually like to see it go a different route.
Instead of giving everyone each pose, make it more diverse. We already have racial unique poses. Let's see some racial unique poses with our weapons drawn!

This is constantly asked for, and I really hope they do it. I'd love the male Dragoon and Paladin poses, and I know a lot of Monks who want the female pose.

Please stop arbitrarily gendering things SE, it's not fun. Thank you~
