Suggestions for Untamed Race

I'll try to keep this simple, as it's been said a million times by now, I'm sure.

Make MALE Venomancers and FEMALE Barbarians. Not only would this open the two Untamed classes to the opposite gender, it would probably attract more players. Besides, the idea of huge, amazonian female barbarians and male neko venomancers is a FUN one, not a bad one. Also, more players = more money, so there's no negative to this other than having to do the work to make it possible.

Give Barbarians the ability to modify their faces, eyebrows, fur color, etc, just like every other race in the game. A tiger with bushy eyebrows? A lion with a goatee? A wolf with braids in it's hair? Why not?

There are dozens of aspects you could add to the Untamed Barbarians that would give people the ability to add more personality to their characters, instead of seeing a line of all the exact same look when a bunch of them are together.

If the idea of adding human accents to barbarians is repulsive, why not add other features? Longer tails, bushier manes, claws, teeth, different eye colors? Add soe new species like black panthers or leopards or cheetahs to the list (see my suggestion for female barbarians), or even add underwater or other predators like sharks or eagles or hawks.

Once it gets added, give all pre-existing barbarians a free make over scroll, so they can take advantage of the changes. It'll result in a MUCH happier player base.

Remove the restriction on giving rides in True Form mode. It feels MORE than a bit homophobic by now, and it's gayer than any "unwanted act" that might occur from one male giving another male a ride. Create new animations so that it looks ok if that's the issue; don't ban it completely.

Give this race some decent individuality, so that it can attract more players, and can expand more. As it is, all you hear in world chat are people calling for non-existant barbarians to come help with missions. If you do this, there's at least a chance more people will take up being barbarians. b:bye

    Male Mystic when they come out and Female Vit/Axe BM.
    Or just don't play a gender locked class.

    I have no opinions really on the second. I don't play a barb.
    Remove the restriction on giving rides in True Form mode.
    If they do this, they have to unlocked it for everyone, not just those who use "true form" they would have to allow male to carry male, female to female. Then let them marry as well. I personally see nothig wrong with it. But they just won't do it. Would cause too much drama. If you have a friend you want to marry, someone be the opposite gender.

    Then why bother saying it yet again? They already made it clear these will never happen. Deal with it.

    This thread again.

    Sorry, but this is such a tired suggestion.

    "I always thought I'd be the only one doing crazy things for people who would never care enough to do it back or to act like idiots or be entirely vulnerable, and making someone fall in love with you is easy, and flying 3000 miles on four days notice because you can't just sit there and do nothing and breathe into telephones is not everyone's idea of love, but it is the way I can recognize it because that is what I do."

    Don't need that males carry males and females carry females, but just a different animation, and the idea of venomancer male and barbarian female think it would be more interesting. Sorry for bad english.

    i swear the gms should just automatically lock any thread that has someing along the lines of "suggestion for untamed race". cos it's guaranteed tto be either "let's have female barbs and male venos" or "barbs should turn into the animal they look like"


    why doesn't anyone suggest that barbs sound effect for their buffs be changed into something more like a mighty roar rather than the non-sense they cry out now that make them sound like they are relieving themselves of something?

    Aw, c'mon, guys. Just because it hasn't yet gone through doesn't mean the suggestion is unwarranted. Personally, I like the idea. I know the developers have their reasons (I think it has to do with the legends from which the race is derived?), but still... I've fancied a male veno on many occasion.

    So let's at lease be fair. It's not a terrible idea. Dare I say, a lot of people would probably back this up. But while we're still being fair, the Earthguard classes seem to be the "equal opportunities" version of the Untamed, know what I mean? b:victory

    And, uh, just so we're clear, I in no way support the notion that the Earthguard is at all replacing the Untamed classes, nor rendering them obsolete. They're just a different flavor.

    Neko male venos... b:dirty

    Also yep, totally agree with true form but the tigers derived from China, where its the king of beasts or something. So unfortunately never going to change D:
