You can mock all you want. We're just trying to follow the rules. We have active members of carbine in this forum, so why not just respect the rules in place?

There are no NDA breaking rules on SA. Thank you. Do you honestly believe the devs that post here are completely naive to how this place has been ran for the past decade or the fact that this happens with every single MMO release? They are not children.

Nah, don't wanna burn out before the game is even out. I'm waiting for that patch to reset saves in starbound so I can really dig into the game though. Hopefully the patch comes out today or I get a beta key from the usual monday batch of invites. Either one works for me :)

I wonder if the chua are the only race without sexual dimorphism because they couldn't come up with male/female options they liked or whether they were a late addition so the single body type was a compromise for speed/getting it into the game.

If you are going to make this argument for the female models please also make the same argument for the buff captain American male models (Model designs for both sexes are always sexualized dumb things in video games)

The true enemy of humanity is disorder.
Speaking of NDA breaking poo poo, I had a blast on the weekend refreshing twitch.tv searching for 'Wildstar', 'Stress Test' and 'Wild Star' and reporting the poor fools that thought they could get some easy viewership.

The funniest part is that the ban seemed to always land the second they got IN to the game, and had a look around. And being a stress test, there was a lot of ATTEMPTING to get into the game. I am fairly certain this was deliberate.

Also it's not an NDA thing, but the email for reporting NDA breakers? 'theredphone@carbinestudios.com'

I don't. I actually prefer something more stylized like Wildstar seems to have. If you give me a bunch of face sliders and poo poo (or, hell, something like EvE's whole-body drag-and-morph system) I'll just end up either taking a preset or hitting random a bunch because trying to fiddle with it myself results in Sloth-from-Goonies style monstrosities.

Whenever I play a game that has sliders I end up making the most generic looking person possible (not intentional). I guess I'm just boring.

It'd be great if there could just be a bunch of general body options; e.g. "sleek", "buff", "musclehead", etc. Of course that would mean rendering more models and having to account for more variance when designing armor, so it probably isn't ideal for a game that has as many different model skeletons as this one.

If there's one thing SWTOR can be praised for, it's that all males have a "fat as hell" body option.

I have always been a fan of games that has a 'Personality' option, where you can choose stuff like 'Serious, Sassy, etc' and it governs things like your idle animations/walk cycle etc.

Always wanted to see more stuff like that in games.

I particularly enjoyed all the stress testers jumping into the official Wildstar twitch chat during our Medic livestream to ask questions about the stress test and the servers. C'mon, people, there are places for you to do that, and when I'm in there modding and answering questions I am about as disconnected as I can possibly be from the stress test crew. Didn't ding anyone for what was obviously honest curiosity, but I was amused when some people got a bit huffy at my casual NDA reminder. :v:

Bonus whining from the Actual stress test (Note Not revealing any content about the game):

There was a constant discussion in the chat system about how Carbine owed people for the fact the servers didn't have 100% up time/was laggy, this was basically constant through out my time during it (Especially as European testers had to stay up late).

Yes I am aware Wildstar War Death bots are now deployed from Carbine HQ to end me for my sins

Well with them deliberately going after the 'old school hardcore' market they'd better be prepared for AAA grade whining and not understanding what words mean. Anything now will be tame compared to release, especially with the inevitable server issues at launch.
