Na, this change just seems like a knee-jerk reaction to the gender-issue crowd crying, and Carbine being afraid of any bad press before launch. I just find it disappointing that they would make such a change to their art direction.

I really don't give a damn about pixelated boobs on way or the other.

It doesn't take very much to go full Bioware. And you never want to go full bioware. We've got crazy childlike overtly sexualized fox people but... their tits are too big?

Ok.

So after the lead CM, Scooter, closes the main thread discussing the reduced breast size (though closing it was ok, we were just going in circles about why it was done), he decide that my avatar image was offensive and inappropriate, so I got a warning. I'll post the "offensive" image here when I get home, though its in the gaming screenshots thread here. I guess WildStar now consider large breasts as offensive (funny that image is a character from Blade & Soul).

You're aware you're breaking NDA while telling Scooter who you are, right ?

Seeing as how this is your third attempt or so let me help you in the future.
Try not asking like a child, also might help to not post pics of little girls all the time as well, people tend to remember that stuff.

At this point I hope people keep making a huge stink about it since their plan was zero body customization at all except for the head. As soon as they cave to one option they'll have to consider others.

This was the "offensive" image that got me a warning from their lead CM guy:

rrr_img_57090.jpg


I can somewhat see how that could be seen as inappropriate due to the amount of cleavage, but offensive? Really? Good thing it wasn't animated like the original...I'd prolly be banned instantly.

Yea, I am aware the if Scooter reads this thread and decides to ban me, he can do so.

Anyway, I was a big fan of the old look for females in Wildstar, I hope they reverse course.

So we pretty much have you pegged, you seem to love pixel bobbies a lot. That picture is from a MMO? that seems almost too much, even has the "Sweaty glare" to it. Looks like some anime porn.

Yeah that's taking it a bit too far then. Probably one of the reasons that shit wont be ported to here. People freaked out over tera, that looks 100 times worse.

blade and soul. boobs in B&S are hysterically abnormal.

the game itself is 18+ only in Korea and China. Just to be clear.

I used that image as joke in protest to the change Carbine did. I think its rather outrageous. Its from B&S, and I don't think you can actually have that costume in the game (its on a boss). I made a post asking why it would be considered offensive, but the Cm's nuked it. The response I got from one of them was that its up to the individual CM's to determine what is offensive and what is not, so that particular image offended Scooter.

Eh. The boobs can be stupidly large...they got sliders...3 different sliders just for boobs. lol

The China version was "harmonized" so females don't show so much skin.

just google "wildstar breasts", and see that the vast majority of the first two pages is people complaining on blogs and forums about how the boobs in game make them uncomfortable..

WTF... like 90% of games featuring females don't grossly overexaggerate the size of boobs.

I feel this post nailed it :

[Megathread] Wildstar -NDA active- - Page 729


As someone with FFF size breasts, I often gravitate towards playing characters with larger proportions themselves. It makes me feel, for a while anyway, like I am attractive just the way I am. I know I have low self-confidence, that I would want to attach my own image to that of my characters so much, but it's a safe refuge from the stares and strange looks I get when I go outside in my daily life, sometimes even open mockery. My real life makes me so self-conscious, that retreating to a fantasy setting, where very large boobs are more common, allows me to relax and just be myself.

So it is a little disheartening when games do this sort of thing, toning it down to make it more "normal" or "realistic". I am constantly reminded of just how "abnormal" I am for having the body I do...many men (and women both) have gone out of their way to rudely comment on it.

I know it can't be just because of my huge breasts. Maybe it's my deep voice. Or the fact that I'm a man. I dunno, maybe I'm just weird. I wish there were a game character for me, something that really represented who I was, in both body and mind. But alas, it seems that day is so very far away.

So...I just did some research on the game for the first time. Didn't realize people were still attracted to hardcore cartoony graphics. It feels exactly like a sci-fi version of WoW, which is more than enough to turn me off completely.

I enjoy the graphics, the scenery is beautiful, actions are pure fluid. When I dinged level 2 and the announcer screamed "OH SHIT CREAM PUFF YOU JUST LEVELED THE FUCK UP" I kind of got the feeling it's a game that doesn't take itself too seriously, and I can for sure get in to that after the countless failed mmos. A change of pace is nice.
