Female characters have lost a few pounds - Guild Wars Forums

Lefty loosey · Aug 17, 2007, 03:27 AM // 03:27

Is it just me or did they change the bodies on the females. Take a good look
at them my rit has lost her curves and the rest of my characters look anorexic
and have developed muscles in there arms that were not there before resulting in man arm's. As a female gamer I take offence to this.
wernt they slim enough?
If this is true it's sending a terible message to our younger players. As if we aren't bombarded enough with the message that you should wear a size zero and never eat. Just for the sake of esthetics...

As A man I take Offense to this too!

What?! Really? Um.. can't say that I notice it. I have a female warrior (the male one is to fat) but she looks the same to me. Do you have a screen shot? So we can see the "before & after" pic.

Maybe visit an opticien and check for astigmatism? If he/she doesnt find anything go for an MRI scan in the hospital to look for growths near optical nerves or parts of the brain involved in visual processing, they are just above the cerebellum I believe.

As a female, you take offense to societies idea of an attractive woman being thin and athletic. Fair enough. As a female gamer, you think companies shouldn't incorporate this into their games. I suppose I can understand that.

HOWEVER, the skank you have in your avatar contradicts everything you've just said. Your argument would be a lot more convincing if you had rosie o'donnel in there and not some model-esque woman. Next time you feel like pointing out how other people are objectifying woman, perhaps you should check to make sure you aren't doing so yourself.

This thread can now continue.

I just looked, and I think my warrior's boobs are smaller. Like assassin sized now!

Etta · Aug 17, 2007, 09:20 AM // 09:20

@ dronex, I can see some um.... minor different but I rather not say what it is. lol

TheGingerBreadMan · Aug 17, 2007, 09:29 AM // 09:29

Stolen Souls · Aug 17, 2007, 09:39 AM // 09:39

I looked, and looked....and looked....and.....I can't see anything different >.>

Everything looks the same to me. No shrinking body parts or developing muscles. o.O

4ssassin · Aug 17, 2007, 09:51 AM // 09:51

what? you would rather have all the girls in the world wear a size 10 and eat so much that there was a food shortage?
Lol...whats with all these "self righteous" female postings lately? I've seen like 3 of em in the past 12 hrs....its getting annoying.

Darkobra · Aug 17, 2007, 09:51 AM // 09:51

I don't see any changes either. But if you look REALLY closely, you'll see that they're now shorter.

They're not really shorter, but the amount of people that would have believed that anyway if I never put this extra line in would prove my point.

It depends what armour they're wearing. Trust me, I have 8 female characters.

quickmonty · Aug 17, 2007, 12:01 PM // 12:01

Looks to me like her feet are smaller.

i did notice myself that my ranger's boobs "jiggle" (best word i can think to describe it sorry) a bit more when she uses her bow. just thought they'd improved the graphics engine that's all.

This has always been the case.

Saraphim · Aug 17, 2007, 12:17 PM // 12:17

^ Yup, they sure do jiggle.

The only thing I did notice was when I logged in last night, in the character selection screen all my girls had very dark chests..

but that disappeared ingame.

SotiCoto · Aug 17, 2007, 12:47 PM // 12:47

No difference...

It just depends on armour as far as I can tell.

Of course some of it doesn't make much sense at all.
I mean.... my Necromancer's boobs seem to be all over the shop depending on what cuirass she is wearing. I order these in order of increasing size:

Full Scar Pattern : No boobs at all.
Elite Luxon : Small boobs.
Elite Bonelace : Slightly larger boobs.
No cuirass at all : Slightly larger boobs again.

Surely they should either be:
#1. All the same.....
or
#2. Consistant with how much padding is placed over the skin.

Currently they're neither.
The figures of our characters change wildly from one outfit to the next.
I refuse to even use my Necro's scar-pattern farming gear now since it takes her instantly from a C-cup to AA.... just for applying some tattoos.
