Since when does feminine=boobilicious? I mean goodness, someone states they want a little style and instantly that means we’re going to go full DD-cup furries? Calm yourselves please. Like I stated previously, I like the current armor we have, and I made very pretty/feminine (COME AT ME I SAID IT) charr with what I had to work with, and they’ll still kick your kitten if you mess with them. Is it so wrong I didn’t want to look like brutes? A little variety isn’t bad, I mean if you’re arguing that “It’s against the lore” I implore you to look at half the armor in the light category and tell me just how much goes with the lore. I see charr wearing a frilly flower dress (TA armor) in ALL the lore stories. (Sarcasm at it’s finest)

Leia Spiritrose and her warband partner Karra Bloodrose everybody. Showing the world you can be beautiful and classy all at the same time. (Oh and Karra’s loyal devourer Lillith, she’s beautiful too.)

They’ve given me such a hard time on the previous page and I wasn’t asking for much. However I think that’s why FenGuild said furrie community overall is frowned upon because one little idea such as feminine armor for female charr and asura is cataclysmic to their minds. I’m thinking patterns while they’re thinking sexual stuff which tells you where their minds are at. Then they use lore as the excuse..I mean what about the charrs living in the diverse city Lion’s Arch. Sooner or later they’ll follow the trend on who wears what, but its always an optional choice for them.

@ Frayta

I don’t think FenGuild was using the furrie term in a offensive way nor is it overall. He probably think it’s absurd on how people come with a reason why this cannot have that because it doesn’t fit their view. Then uses words as * our * or * we * as if they talking for the whole furrie community.

He isn’t a furrie, but if he was…. he’ll probably lose interest in it quick if he had to deal with this type of resistance on a small idea and then gets criticize about it.

You know it’s hard to tell on the internet when it comes to context- Its some something I have to say at times, not just toward him- but generally speaking- its a volatile word that shouldn’t be used unless it has to be- there are so many different opinions of what is furry, none of them are standard- Personally I follow the thinking that beast races come in 3 major classifications Were, Anthro, and furry- the last being mascot like, or pertaining to fur suit aesthetic.

As for just a generally tamer, softer armor for charr- I’m ok with that too, as long as it isn’t dimorphic like someone else suggested. Female charr don’t have breasts- so were sort of safe from ‘versioning’ But it is that lore that gives reason for female armor to hold little to no difference to the males. When I throw some pants on my charr- I expect pants, and skirt to skirt. Ironically this means the devs actually have less work when making armor for charr, because they don’t have to map out a female version.

It’s difficult to place the word feminine when it comes to armor, and general fashion. Let us say a man and woman are wearing the same clothes- the only defining difference then is how they choose to wear them-obviously anatomy has a lot of influence on this- but when we are on equal playing fields, its harder for us to say what still makes her version feminine, other then the fact she is female.

Khala Bloodgrave- Grave Warband of the Blood legion. Khala, was named after Kalla Scorchrazor, who turned the tide against the flame legion, by training in secret with her fellow females to fight them. She had taken the surname of Blood as it has run through her bones since she was a cub, she knew she was blood before even getting to the fahar.

The name of grave was taken as there warband after steel had been overthrown, it was a stronger warband, built upon the corpses of those who defied the legions.

To answer the question I think you are trying to ask, yes medium charr armor will count as additional cumulative to the cultural achievement- it has a different item code.

FenGuild.1097:

Listen I don’t really care about whatever reason, what lore, why they look like that has anything to do with extra options. In my view it’s just game and any free addition I get for my character whether it’s armor or character creation looks is a birthday gift to me.

Going into silly arguments about furrie sexual this and that means it’s a personal problem that does not agree to their view. Just because you dislike it doesn’t mean others don’t. Don’t even categorize them either just because it appeals to them. You suppose to play what appeals to you overall that’s just nature.

We know the female charr body is a different version of a furrie, but regardless it’s a furrie and its model not changing so I don’t know why all this fear is coming up about feminine armor changing. You’ll always have choices to wear that armor so it’s not a mandatory thing.

Glad I am not a furrie fanatic. Too much of a headache over silly stuff for silly reasons.

You may not care, because well it doesn’t interest you- thats fine, but I think you don’t realize what has given us a greater part of this mentality. Many of us have been gaming for years, decades even- we’ve seen things grow and progress- but nothing has been so difficult as to shaping the future of beast races in games.

Why? Because they have had to take that step back for a long time, they were often given the shortest straw- left over rigs, reskinned skeletons, because its cheaper that way- More people play humans and elves- so they always get more attention. Sexy beast race is the most often used cop-out when it comes to games, because they are most often created last- and its the easy, lazy, and cheap thing to do.

The fight to get something like charr was hard, hard fought. Between Furry fear mongering and people that didn’t want to give up having a “sexy” character it has been slow going.

The Term Furry even, is extremely dirty to a lot of people, almost to the par of the word gay- some people will gladly adopt it, and embrace it, but when you refer to things as gay, or furry- its usually done as a means to be offensive- or hurtful, not a classification.

Our fear isn’t so shallow that were afraid of being called a furry because we play a beast race, we’ve all been there, we’re over it- it’s that slippery slope. We are afraid that things will simply revert to as they used to be, because developers will think it’s ok. Don’t get me wrong- I’m open to there being feminine town clothes for charr- because well gemstore stuff is an exception- its something that was made for the sake of defying lore, and being silly. I just don’t want to see it spill out any more then it has to.

On another note, I am extremely curious to see where Everquest Next goes with the Kerran, We’ve seen the male so far, and its been long enough since EQ2 that they could follow the paradigm shift from cat-man to anthropormorhic beast. I have hopes for it- and I sincerely hope they follow suit, its a change almost all of us beast race lovers wanted, and I really, really want to see it become standard.

The thing you have to realize is most people who pick up an MMO will never choose a beast race willingly. It’s a head scratcher myself but people choose to play humans because they are humans. It probably has to do with immersion- and just over all comfort towards content.

For me, Guild wars got it right. Charr are a true beast race, they aren’t cat men, they aren’t furries, and they arent women with animal heads. Anatomically they are beautiful in ways I have only seen in pen to paper artwork- Yeah, we got a little shafted with armor- but after years of tauren, and worgen, and other ‘boobied’ beast races- I cannot say enough about how much I love charr design.

They didn’t cave in where most mmo’s did, females weren’t forced into a ‘sensual’ sexual dimorphism- and charr females were given fitting lore to explain their place in charr society, for this very reason they aren’t objectified- they are equal to males in every way, except to the flame legion.

rMBP 15 inch-

keep in mind I switch to ‘best performance’ in zergs or it goes to a slow crawl.

I dont recommend this, if your idling , or some of your HUD and windows may flicker

The only time I really like rampage is when I have an ele in my guild that drops us a fiery greatsword.

Its a pretty tasty thing to be sporting 50k health, and having a fiery great sword with the might, and stability buffs.

A rickshaw- like the riding broom it would be a pseudo mount that does not increase speed-

you would place it, someone would ride it, and someone else would pull- it would be hilarious!

Parachutes- to decrease falling speed.(would not work in certain zones to prevent exploits and what not)

Guild flag-special slot item- that allows you to display your guild with pride, does not take away skills like kite and balloon does.

Black lion club membership- if you spend so much money on the gem store that month, items are x% off for you (pay full price on gifts still)

Enchanted mystic forge stone- has a higher chance to upgrade items to next their level(or a precursor if using 80 exotics)

The voice acting isn’t the best i’ve ever heard- but MMO VO’s in general are not as felt as they can be for other games. Lines are written to appeal to the broadest terms of audience with multiple backgrounds, ethnicities, and cultural differences- things end up sounding passive or robotic.

The VO most guilty of this is Tara Strong in my opinion, she just throws on a voice- which already belongs to 5 other characters and says the line, I doubt she even feels her character anymore. She’s talented in the way of how many voices she has- but they hold no weight to me anymore.

Compare this living story Scarlet to Hyden Walches Harley Quinn, and you can see who delivers from the heart. Tara makes a voice what sounds crazy, Hyden embraces the character that is crazy.

Other that that I would like to be able to choose my characters voice within a selection, all Im asking for is 3 voices- make us not all sound like clones- since we all look pretty unique.

“I can outrun a centaur!”
“BEHOLD THE OCEANS POWER!”
“fast as the wind”
“for great justice!”

I must note, that I play a female charr warrior- and I hear the top ones more then my own character. Even so "On the mend, might makes right’ The lines for female charr aren’t bad- but they aren’t really memorable at all.

On that note “BY OGDENS HAMMER WHAT SAVINGS!” and “This wont end well.” from the most positive to the most emo sounding i’ve heard xD

Its good to know it’s not just me who gets this.

Yeah, and I think it does have to do with an event-cap, the wrapper probably has an event limit to function properly.

such as Event_Animation-Player, etc, since events trigger other events, like damage calculations, and chances to dodge- imagine multiplying that by over 100 for a wrapper- it’s probably too much for it to process having to go through the data conversion as well.

Im curious, have you guys also been experiencing any sudden artifacting since this patch? I have but I’m running mbpr, it goes away for me.. but it will tick onto a player suddenly, or world terrain some times- and this was when I put it to lowest settings =/

Yeah, I have LOD ticked, but I don’t think it helps so much when theres over 70 people fighting in a compact area, and then enemy fire as well.

Id hate to see it without LOD

Sooo… Im back.

I believe, my server, Jade Quarry may be a Guinea pig for the culling, since ive been seeing a lot more people recently, and I’ve started to experience the previous freezing crash issue in PvE zones in high traffic events (the Ember-farm)

Now theres fires, everywhere for this thing- and then theres the over 60 mob attacking on top of that, but thing is I have had slower loading times and worse FPS since culling, and I’m running on the lowest settings possible. (which is ugly btw, and annoys me)

I may just be imagining the culling, but I resolved much of the crashes by personally setting the character limit in WvW- so I’d like to see character limit added for PvE on the mac client.

Also- wasn’t something going to be done soon, about scaling down the visual effects on plane when there are more of them active? It seems like this is soemthing that could really help but ive seen hide nor hare of it.

After doing this I encountered it less often- but it does still occur.

I finally got it once with an actual error message, screen shotted it using my mac.

OMG-

I just got on my ranger to check, and yes, NO MORE LAZER BEAMS!

Good lord! I am so happy.

Hello there everybody!

I’ve recently been running into a problem regarding a ‘freezing’ crash when an assault or defend of decent size happens in stonemist keep. This crash can occur regardless of what settings I’m running at from ‘best performance to best looking’

This crash is unique in the way that it can go from a decent 30 fps to frozen, with a notice popped up, that has no readable text in it, however has the word [ok] within a button, that will close the program. Sound still plays as if the game is running real time. Due to the nature of the issue, I cant get a screen shot of it.

I have high hopes for some sort of explanation as to what is going on, since I see we have received a dedicated mac support person now- its important to me as I would like to command at some point, and I cant very well do so if I crash in stone mist every time. Thank you.
