Thread: Butt is flat again... Patch 5.15

It's a major problem because the butt that is modeled to emulate a certain character doesn't work on the costume set that you're supposed to use to cosplay as said character.

From what I've seen it get disabled on the same tops that disables the quaintrelle skirt. Someone already mentioned it and I think its true, they seem to have a list of tops that can disable parts of the pant models. So they probably just put 2B's legging into this same group to fix the few tops that were clipping with 2B's leggings. For 2B's leggings its way too extreme and gets disabled on far more than it needs to. 2B leggings are disabled on 2B's dress because its using the same setting that disables quaintrelle skirt on almost everything (including 2B's dress).

Having no personal interest in "butts" (I have one, I sit on it), I'm amazed just how much discussion goes into them around here...

Also you're eating some weird-shaped pancakes if smaller-but-still-curved is "pancake-shaped".

then gave you back the squeezed toothpaste tube look again.

Funny you mention "squeezed toothpaste tube" - that's the mental image that comes to mind when I try on the dresses. They don't just narrow the waist but also the ribcage, and it looks incredibly unsettling to me.

That misinformation has been spreading for years.

Indeed. We discussed it a while ago and concluded that it's misleading due to different poses in the two images - the 1.0 girl is stretching (torso forward, legs slightly bent) which makes her look bigger compared to the neutral pose.

I really wish people would leave with this non-sense.

Like the butt or not ... care or don't care. Doesn't matter, it was a glam that worked perfectly fine before that now has been given the restrictions of the most infamous glam skirt in this game. From what I can tell it legit only works for tops that show the ruffle skirt.
This patch has single handedly ruined over 50% of the glams I made after the release of this gear because it became a staple in my plats. Not sure how you can fine a problem with being upset about that, nothings gonna change if people don't talk about it.

Like I said, I hope someone makes a bug report before I have to try. I don't have good pics showing the difference from before to now as I NEVER foresaw this happening so most of my pics with it are from the front ... plus I race changed so there's that.

Yeah I don't get it either. I see the curve just fine, so I don't really get why all the fuss about it.

People saying the nerfed butt looks more natural have never seen a real butt.

Bring back the Butt. My hair clips through my horns already; I don't give a damn if my butt clips through my shirts or belts.

YOKO TARO, PLEASE SAVE US. ;_;

I went through CF tonight as tank and managed to have the tank pants drop, so my character's sit-upon has been restored to it's former glory. For PLD, at least. I still hope they revert the changes to the No.2 leggings for my other glamours.

Yeah this ruined a few of my glams =|
Wish they would've opted for having a flat version available for achievement purchase or something rather than nerfing it for so many tops.
