To be honest I don't know why we cant have more choice in body types. Why does each class have just 1 body style, why cant I take a ranger body with a warrior profession, is it really that hard?

Some people like the skinny body, some don't. I play female warrior, just because I don't like the steriod induced football player look. The male necro is just ewwwww!!!!!. The male ranger I like and I have one. So why can't we first pick a body type, then the features, then the profession, then armor? Is it really that difficult?

That we pay for. Without customer feedback, Anet would have no idea what people like and don't like. It's obvious that a lot of people are not pleased with the Assassin's appearance. I think Anet would want and appreciate this kind of feedback. I, for one, want a game to be aesthetically pleasing. Many players pay a lot of gold in the game to get better armor. Is FoW armor better than Droks? No. But players pay upwards of 1.5 million because they like the way it looks. If people don't like the way the Assassin looks, is it at all surprising that they are expressing their opinions? And if people don't like how it looks, are they going to play it?

in this tread ive been thinking... anorexic is this:

while the assasin looks like a well trained female...
only i have to agree. the female assasin isnt a beaty.. and bigger hips and upperlegs. some more breast would help. and i dont want comments like: you are all litlle kiddies in puberty etc.. and yest im 14 year old! and i also have to say that if the assasin would like like a pornstar i also would play it...
just more fat and weight on her legs, hip and chest..

I think it's realistic that the Assasins are skinny and lithe in game. Dont get me mistaken for one of those reality stiklers but it does make the assasins a lot more believable and authentic if you ask me.

Lyra makes some generalizations based on this thread and other threads like it....

Theres nothing wrong with liking breasts. o.o;;

Theres nothing wrong with disliking the look of the assassin.

A majority of people dislike the assassin's build.

A few people like the assassin's build.

Assassins walk and run funny. ^^;;

A lot of people would like a slight appearance change. (Maybe in a patch, because the character model is already in all the game CDs)

People want their assassin to look like the cover girl, Nika.

No Anet officials have said anything about the numerous complaints.

EDIT AFTER READING SOME OF THE POSTS HERE: The discussion at the last pages of the thread (5-6) moved to breast size. That was not the point of this thread, I was not talking about that.
My whole point is the skinny, boney body. If you look at an Assassin from the side, you can actually imagine her ouside stomach skin touching the inside of her back skin.

Also please be civil since there are ladies here among the readers of the forums.
Thank you

i agree with you.
but the looks of some1 and also from ladys the breast also say something about your looks.
a women with HUGE boobs will be more seen like a porn star..
and ladys with normal breast will be called well.. ladys

im sorry if i insult any of you ladys with any of my sayings. couse breast size doesnt bother me.

but what would you want.. a assasin like this or one like the covermodel nika...

Miakoda · Apr 07, 2006, 07:36 PM // 19:36

As a Male, I have no problem with the Assassin looks, it's actually refreshing to not not have another Porn model.

Plenty of girls AND women have a skinny frame "Ectomorph", and plenty of Males do too, remember Bruce Lee? go look at some of his old footage, pay close attention to his ankle and wrist thickness, yet he is still one of the Biggest Icons in Martial Arts and a lot of fitness freaks look up to him still.

He was not ill, and neither are some of the thinner people I know, however you could easily tell the difference, look at that pic above that IS someone ill
and not healthy.

You won't find many Lightning quick large built people thats for sure.

because you can't be stealthy and have breasts that big. It's just not possible. Seriously though the lithe body style is more common amongb martial artists then you would think. Martial arts do not rely on huge amounts of muscle power but instead on the economical use of body weight and momentum to increase the power of your blows. An example of this would be putting ones body weight behind a punch by turning your lead foot into the blow. Couple this more efficient usage of body mechanics with a knowledge of anatomy and you end up with a deadly fighter. A more muscle bound character, like a warrior , would not be able to accomplish the assassin skills since they rely on precise strikes and fast movement which bulky muscle is not capable of, at least not in an efficient manner.

Rebel Dragon · Apr 07, 2006, 07:54 PM // 19:54

wel that pictures just look like a wannabee assasin porn model.. just weak and perverted..

jackie · Apr 07, 2006, 08:04 PM // 20:04

Well, I think there isn't possible to make character looking like Shiro either. If they want to keep story character unique isn't that good thing.

Markaedw · Apr 07, 2006, 08:09 PM // 20:09

Well, when ever we talk about body types and curves or lack there of, breasts and hips will come up.

Men are biologically attracted to curves, the traditional symbol of valetines has nothing to do with internal organs, the curves on cars are there for a reason...hint it's not aerodynamics.

but we should avoid getting to graphic anyway.

What I find intereesting is there is a similar discssion about the Rit, have to many pixels (if you know what I mean), and her we have one about not enough.

What was interesting there was one woman felt that the men could use a little more in the cod piece.

Some like the skinny build some don't.

What about this, I've seen some pretty muscled (large women), there's an old family legend of my great grandmother looking for her son and finding him beaten half to death by his co-workers for being on the oposite side of a political issue, she went back the next day with a solid hickory rolling pin, and beat them all.

As much as I like my wammo, she seems a little small to weilding a hammer.

Off topic a bit, but I too, wouldn't mind a more muscular female warrior.

As for the Assassin, I think the main problem is how different she is from the cover. If the cover more reflected the actual in game skin, then I think people would at least expect what they are getting.

I'll go back to my original point I made close to the beginning the the thread: the best solution would to be offer more body styles, besides just altering the height of our character. Star Wars Galaxies, although a crappy game, had one of the best model builders I've played in a demo (even better than City of Heroes...) What you could do to their faces was amazing, especially considering all the races they had.

The female assassin I saw looked extremely asexual... so what would be the point of having 2 genders when one would probably suffice with that look???

I think the word you're looking for is "Morphodite", the female assassins are Morphodite's

Also, Male assassins are Transvestites, heh.
-Edit- Sorry about that Lyra..

ever saw the male ele.. well just look at it and you know what i mean.....

and the game needs some eye candy. but not to much!

if you want that google the word: porn,

Seef II · Apr 08, 2006, 07:54 AM // 07:54

I don't see anything wrong with the assassin. Lithe and maybe even battle-hardened. A large bosom would just get in the way and if you want the big ta-tas, the Ritualist will make up for it. The faces for both M and F need work though.

Well... you guys are debating the attractiveness of a collection of polygons in a video game. Careful with all the "you need help" talk.
