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

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.

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

Masterfully done, you two.

I won't be too gutted if this doesn't make it in, but as a lefty, this would make me very happy. I was really annoyed with Twilight Princess when they went and mirrored the ENTIRE world just to make Link a righty instead of his usual lefty-self. I had to play in a mirror-Hyrule, just because I was in a minority, when the Cube version was fine. Irrelevant rant over! It won't be so drastic this time, I know, but it would be nice to make my character more true to myself.

Yep, I am a left-handed right hand mouser but thanks for the post, Rukkirii!

Wouldnt you just say you are ambidextrous then? lol

"I'm left handed but I eat, drink, and write with my right hand"

O_o (*teasing you*)

I'd like to see an either or hand option in the future, really have no care on priority though. It can help vary the masses up (its a small choice, but a choice none the less).

Both hands have different skills. lol

My left hand can do writing/drawing a paper and fingerspelling (sign language) very well.

However, my right hand can do Photoshop, playing MMOs with only K/M, and many more (but couldn't fingerspelling very well heh.)

I don't really care about it but if it has something like you can do in Skyrim then it would be cool.

Main-hand and Off-hand... <<< don't make a sense.. v.v
