Squakus Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Less metal, more skin on females. Because being nude gives an awesome defence. Logic Lots of games have this. Females make up for their lower strength by having higher defence, and males can wear the same set of armor, so females have extra. It's all in the interest of game balance. :smile: Although compared to some mmo armors I've seen, the bonuses of the newer bandos look are firmly grounded in reality. (Bet you didn't know a pure gold bikini gives more than double the defence of enchanted plate armor :shades: ) Edit: Ninja'd by Q and Alg. As the size of an explosion increases, the number of social situations it is incapabale of solving approaches zero. Ensure you are not a social situation.

aspeeder Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Less metal, more skin on females. Because being nude gives an awesome defence. LogicEverybody knows that's how it is. More skin equals more attractive bits that mustn't be touched! Think of it as a charisma bonus to armour :D.From this we also conclude that all female (humanoid) monsters must be gay (or at least bisexual). Not sure what that makes non-humans, especially cave slimes...I am getting some serious slave Princess Leia from the new look of the tassets. http://i700.photobucket.com/albums/ww6/aspeeder/Siggy_zpsewaiux2t.png 99 Strength since 6/02/10 99 Attack since 9/19/10 99 Constitution since 10/03/10 99 Defense since 3/14/11 99 Slayer since 8/30/11 99 Summoning since 9/10/11 99 Ranged since 09/18/11 99 Magic since 11/12/11 99 Prayer since 11/15/11 99 Herblore since 3/29/12 99 Firemaking since 5/15/12 99 Smithing since 10/04/12 99 Crafting since 9/16/13 99 Agility since 9/23/13 99 Dungeoneering since 1/1/14 99 Fishing since 2/4/14 99 Mining since 2/28/14 99 Farming since 6/04/14 99 Cooking since 6/11/14 99 Runecrafting since 10/10/14 9 Fletching since 11/11/14 99 Thieving since 11/14/14 99 Woodcutting since 11/20/14 99 Construction since 12/03/14 99 Divination since 2/22/15 99 Hunter since 2/23/15 99 Invention since 01/20/17 99 Archaeology since 5/14/22Quest Point Cape since 08/20/09 Maxed since 2/23/15 Fire Cape since 02/27/13 Slayer: 3 Leaf-Bladed Swords, 8 Black Masks, 2 Hexcrests, 26 Granite Mauls, 5 Focus Sights, 32 Abyssal Whips, 9 Dark Bows, 1 Whip Vine, 3 Staffs of Light, 15 Polypore Sticks Dragon: 9 Draconic Visages, 7 Shield Left Halves, 20 Dragon Boots, 40 Dragon Med Helms, 8 Dragon Platelegs, 6 Dragon Spears, 20 Dragon Daggers, 5 Dragon Plateskirts, 1 Dragon Chainbody, 63 Off-hand Dragon Throwing Axes, 19 Dragon Longswords, 27 Dragon Maces, 1 Dragon Ward Treasure Trails: Saradomin Full Helm, Ranger Boots, Rune Body (t), Saradomin Vambraces, Various God Pages Misc:1 Onyx,1 Ahrim's Hood, 1 Guthan's Chainskirt, 1 Demon Slayer Boots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sy_Accursed Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 When these armour things comes up it always reminds me of this screenshot I saw of some game or other it showed a specific armour set on men and on women and women underwear. Men it was massive hulking metal plates all over the shop.Women it was a very small bikini thing.Then to add insult to injury, women underwear form was like a knee-length nightgown type thing. So it was like waaat? underwear = more clothes coverage than full armour Operation Gold Sparkles :: Chompy Kills :: Full Profound :: Champions :: Barbarian Notes :: Champions Tackle Box :: MA RewardsDragonkin Journals :: Ports Stories :: Elder Chronicles :: Boss Slayer :: Penance King :: Kal'gerion Titles :: Gold Statue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heart of a Lion Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Less metal, more skin on females. Because being nude gives an awesome defence. Logic Does the female model showing more skin than the male model bother you? If this weren't the case, how would we be able to differentiate sex? Also, how logical is it that Bandos, a very large goblin God, drops armor that fits perfectly on humans? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estoc Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Less metal, more skin on females. Because being nude gives an awesome defence. Logic As Bandos armor has always been either half or fully made of what looks like cloth depending on gender, and even then only covering half of the body, removing some cloth really wouldn't hurt defence at all. Removing plates from something like Torva is one thing, but Bandos in my eyes has always been a berserker armor, most defence coming from any blessings or enchantments put on it. The lass in Arma is weilding that bow in her left hand as well. Years of being bothered by this will finally end! From the empty days of hope, deny the darknessFollow my voice, we'll run far away from hereIf only to hide, to escape this lifeAnd live forever, forever in the sun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Arcane Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Think this is the best topic to post in, Mod Jacmob has meant to have revealed that Optimus will come out in July and that it 'will not be delayed further'. Edit - Page 96, Mod Tom B [qfc]25-26-368-63605929[/qfc] So that was earlier on in the month but it would seem Jacmob has moreso confirmed it will be next month now.

Kaida23 Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 That's good to hear. I figured they would be releasing it in time for the summer break. Check out my blog to read the Adventures of a Big Damn (F2P) Hero. THE place for all free players to connect, hang out and talk about how awesome it is to be F2P. So, Kaida is the real version of every fictional science-badass? That explains a lot, actually... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as for your other point, I still see nothing wrong with female player models showing more skin than their male counterparts. It isn't sexist or even a chauvinistic portrayal since there are plenty of "strong" female representations already. (Warrior Women and Kuradal come to mind). I for one welcome more revealing (if you can even call seeing one's belly button revealing) a welcome change of pace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt female players want to look like that. I'm sure some girls do. I'm also sure not all guys who play girl characters want to look like that. Probably the majority... Trust me, the guys who pretend to be girls get the most into it. I can tell the difference within 5 sentences typed, and let me tell you, the males get so into the whole dress up thing. One friend of mine who I met through forums had the cute hair colour and face and all that stuff planned, and had a series of outfits planned and all that crap. When he finally admitted to being a guy I had a pretty clear image of what guy-r-l players that have girl avatars are like... they'll tell you so many lies over the course of your friendship, and it's just so messed up.

Sy_Accursed Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Looks like there will be some new graphics as well, unless those are due out with the combat update. Those combat stances and prayer icons are all associated with the combat update, I should we've just reach the point where some/all of that is on the 'normal' test servers, especially for something like a PvP update as they'll need to make sure it works now and have a rebalance ready to go live with the combat update. It's kind of doubling their workload when they release QBD and stuff atm because alllll the old bosses etc. have obvious been gone through to rebalance, but any new combat gear and monsters have to be built both for the now and for the post-update.
