Re: Female Armors

Cysero PSYCH! We took out the skin, giving her full body coverage, changed her name to Z and even removed the necklace. Gotcha.

Our endeavors paid off.

Don't know why they took out the necklace and changed her name, though.

That's only because it compliments it. It can be applied both ways. Why do most of them men's armors showcase the buffed out expectations of steroids? The answer is kids want to play as an attractive character doing heroic, or evil things. It's all a preference. Without some of the "kinky" things that AQW had, a lot of the armors, on males and females, would be boring. Lets not forget AQW is only 10+ because of the ESRB, as AE wanted it to be 13+.

Possible, but it also gets boring if all the armors are kinky/burlesque.

by Guest Sat Feb 20, 2010 7:46 am

Yeah, I personally believe that if you have to enduce sexuality, then obviously your game needs to have more features.

by Crystal Lion Sat Feb 20, 2010 8:20 am

Sticky, I hold the same belief. If a game's only selling point or first impression is its compulsory burlesque, it's not really that great.

Hopefully the release of stats and PvP will reduce the need for female exposure. If we're lucky.

This should stop no more arguing should be going on seriously its gotta stop nothing much is being taken out of this dont bother its over just forgot it its the game if u dont like it ignore it or play a new game or make another game for eg the TR game is a good idea everyone will love it!

by Guest Sat Feb 20, 2010 10:21 am

Peregine, which side of the arguement are you on? AE's side or the side that opposes female exposure?

by Alderos Sat Feb 20, 2010 10:36 am

I would just like to say that since i am 14 and actually have hormones kicking in and such, i dont really notice all the cleavage, nudity whatever you want to call it. I do see what point you guys are coming at though. I do realize that it might offend female players. Another thing to consider is that it is their game and they should be able to choose what they want to have in it. If you really want to make sure that nudity/cleavage isn't in anymore armors, just have several (like 20 or so) people sign a petition asking kindly to stop making armors with cleavage/nudity. If they ignore it just get on with life, it is a game. No i am not trying to offend anyone by saying this, i am just saying what i see from my point of view. Not to mention i am 14, and am looking at this from a somewhat mature point.

I agree too! Lets start a rebellion!

by Guest Sat Feb 20, 2010 10:39 am

Yeah, I have hormones kicking in too, but it's still really pathetic if you require such exposure to keep players.

by Evangel Sat Feb 20, 2010 10:40 am

So... if AE wanted to put a completely nude "armor" in-game, they could?

by Guest Sat Feb 20, 2010 10:43 am

Heh, they would never do that, considering there already they only have a shred of tolerance in their players left, and if they did do that, they would get alot of complaints, lose players, and possibly worse.

by Alderos Sat Feb 20, 2010 10:43 am

@Evangel
Yes, but they would have to add something to warn people before they enter the site that the site has nudity, and they would have to lose their e +10 esrb rating

by Evangel Sat Feb 20, 2010 10:50 am

But they could if they did? If they wanted to make a totally degrading armor, they could and [some] people would be O.K. with it?

Say they made an 18+ Server where they exclusively released adult content along side normal content, they could do that if they felt like it.

Here's an Idea:
Step 1: Compose a well thought-out, respectful letter to AE.
Step 2: Get a bunch of signatures for a petition via signing a piece of paper, scanning it, or other/ uploading it, attaching the signatures to the letter.
Step 3: E-Mail it Directly to Artix.

by Alderos Sat Feb 20, 2010 10:57 am

Hm, well thought out. We could get a petition, but what about the people without scanners? And yes they could have an +18 server because it is their website.

Or we can start a rebellion. xD Jk jk that would be a good idea.

If you have a camera, take a picture of the signature, or whatever.

by wwwtoy Sat Feb 20, 2010 11:00 am

Wont this cause a crash? If theres fewer well,nude armors some people wont regester,get membership,then itll mean fewer upgraders. Which will mean AE will go on a bankruptcy,but Im thinking a bit too far. ._.

by Guest Sat Feb 20, 2010 11:14 am

No... No 18+ server... They're running six games, with only 40-something workers. It would be too much to handle, and besides, why would AE turn AQW into a pornographic kids game...?

by Evangel Sat Feb 20, 2010 11:15 am

Wow, toy. Fewer scantly clad female armors won't cause less people to register/ upgrade, trust me. AE has 4 main games and over 20 servers, they won'y go bankrupt.

by wwwtoy Sat Feb 20, 2010 11:25 am

I thought I overthought it. ._.

by Alderos Sat Feb 20, 2010 11:28 am

Sticky, i was just saying that if they wanted to they could have a +18 server, but personally i am against that since aqw is supposed to be, in my eyes, a game for 10 and up, hint hint "10" and up, which should not have lots of nudity.

by Zeo Sat Feb 20, 2010 3:28 pm

10. Thats actualy high. Geez. WoW is 13+ and has pole dancing. AQW has 3 years lower and the worst it has is a bikini armour. Oh noes, a armour with skin showing- it's totally unacceptible for 10 year olds to be seeing. Yet 5 year olds are taken on beach resort holidays. Just because its a game. And if you now say to me or are thinking, "Well some armours look just like *censored for good reasons* outfits, think about all the 3 year olds who have a laugh dancing to female music videos. Yea. I don't see the whole point, AE isn't doing anything wrong. Most MMO(RPG)'s contain skin-showing armours, cuz its most boys natural reaction to click it- and its been proven more boys play MMO(RPG)'s than girls. As for the young players?- They won't notice. Unless they have NEVER seen a woman in a bikini on TV, at the beach, etc. Which is not very likely.
