Thread: Request: 2.0 Character Creation option, Left Handed.

I can do w/o left handed, but instead I can go for dual welding ...

jc

I do prefer the idea of choosing left or right at character creation

As i mentioned earlier, if implemented I'd rather people not be forced to pick a handiness, and instead simply be able to put their weapon in either hand slot instead.

The hand in which you used the Wii remote made no difference. But whatever~

It's true, but the whole idea was that you were supposed be mimicing the actions the on screen character would take. Something that wasn't really fully realized until MotionPlus came out. They mirrored the game so that the hand people typically had the wii remote (sword) in matched the hand that the character on screen held it in. It's not that it was necessary for control purposes, it just made it feel more natural for the majority.

Ok so people want to start the 'waste of resourses' BS again.

[Sarcasm]
Creating more than one race and more than one gender was a waste of resoures. We could have had ARR right now if they had just focused on one race and gender.

That grass too was a big waste of time. Why couldn't they have released ARR first and then added grass?

There are too many textures in the game. I feel ARR could have been released faster if they cut down on the amount of textures. Maybe just go ahead and make everything wireframe, so we can play ARR faster
[/Sarcasm]

Give it a rest.... Having Left handed option is a good idea and is no more of a waste of recouces than half of the other things theyre putting into the game.

As the OP of this thread you have no idea how shocked I was to see this dragged back up from the dark abyss of the forums. xD

However I think people are getting a little out of hand about this. First stop attacking each other so much, I never started this as a left vs. right thread, I started it cause I knew if I didn't I'd spend the rest of my days going "what would have happend if I had tried?" regretting not having the guts to do it.

Second, I didn't ask for left handed option cause I'm left handed and want attention I asked for it for roleplay/cutscenes only, if I can't be left handed I'm cool with it and will still play the game, just would have been cool to have the option is all.

And finaly, the games about to enter beta, do you guys really think this close to release they'ed add something like this? Calm down a little it's pretty much just a fading dream by this point, let it go and move on to fighting about something else, like 3rd set of highlights in our hair or something. XD

Boob slider and the physics, just throwing those out. (these are cool ideas btw)
Seeing something like handedness is quirky and maybe a lot of people will like to have the option, you never know.

When FFXIV, FFXI, WoW, Aion, Archlord, Moshi Monsters or whatever send information between your computer and the servers they use 'Packets'. These packets contain the necessary data for the server to do what you expect, this is a number of things:

Text, Movement, Character Data, Position, Rotation, etc.

ALL of your characters unique information that is constantly being changed is being sent in these 'packets', so whenever you start adding in more character customization options, armour pieces, etc. the packets become heavier as more data is added, which would in turn create 'lag' as the packets would require more time to transfer between yourself and the servers.

TLDR

The more you add, the more strain it puts on the servers creating lag.

Ok, but will 5 right hand animations be greater than 5 left hand animations. how about 2 left hand animations and 3 right hand animations. 4 left hand animations and 1 right hand animations.

No extra animations are being added. Players wont suddenly be sending both right and left handed animation data, they will be sending either right hand or left hand, which both would be the same size as all right hand or all left hand.
