Several Veno/Barb Ideas/Suggestions/Complaints

Okay, I don't understand why this was ever decided to begin with, so why not remove the eye shadow from the Venomancer's fox form? It serves no purpose, and in my opinion is quite ugly. Maybe add an option to remove it, so people who do like it can keep it and those of us who do not, don't have to look at it?
When I say it serves no purpose, I mean it's obvious that the fox is female to begin with as the class is female-only. We don't need to overstate the obvious. Why not, while we're at it, overstate the obvious fact that the white tigers we see running around are male by giving them a big fuzzy white sack dangling under their aft section? It's the same principle, though funnier, as putting eye-shadow on a female fox.

Also, now, I find the untamed race to be rather sexist. Why can't there be male venomancers, or female barbarians? The class description only states that venomancers are small crafty vermin such as foxes, and that barbarians are powerful animals such as tigers. Is it impossible that maybe a male fox turns into a human form to seduce a human female? Or can females just not be strong, powerful werebeasts? I believe the only thing keeping the dev's from making the untamed classes unisex is pure laziness. PW has been around in asia for over 4 years and we still can't customize barbarians what-so ever. What's so hard about putting ears and a tail on a male blademaster and changing the skills? Then maybe the eye shadow would have a purpose as we'd have male foxes now! Or making a Fox humanoid female barbarian, or hell, just remove the current style of barbarian and put ears and tails on blademasters so that they can actually customize themselves! If they want to be a wolf, give them wolf ears and a big fluffy wolf tail! Pandas can get panda ears, maybe slightly oversized to make it kinda cute, Lions get cat ears and a lion tail! Tigers get a tiger tail! It's not that difficult! Then you wouldn't even need to change the female barbarians at all, they'd look just like venomancers do. I like venomancers, however I would like to be male, I'm not being close-minded and saying I refuse to play a female character because I'm a guy. I tried playing a venomancer, y'know what happens, you get hit on a lot by other guys and it's creepy, and it quickly becomes tiring having to tell all these guys that you're a guy as well. Because if you don't tell them, and they find out, they get all pissy and feel betrayed or disgusted or something.

If we can't change barbs to more human-like forms with ears and tails similar to venomancers. Give them tails. I've seen more than enough suggestion threads about tails for male untamed. It looks wrong seeing what are essentially animals walking on two legs with human hands and feet not having tails. It's just weird. The panda I can understand, but the panda is missing something as well. You may be asking yourself "What's the panda missing Machinae?" I'll tell you, it's missing it's neck, it has literally no neck. There is about 1mm between the panda barbs chin and it's chest. It looks like some kind of mutant. Humans have necks, pandas have necks, why doesn't the humanoid panda have a freaking neck?

Maybe, just maybe you didn't want to make more human-like barbarians similar to venomancers because you didn't want to see 10,000,000 Inu Yasha clones, so in it's place you give us something with only size customization, Maybe I want my lion to have a goatee, or maybe I'd rather give my lion a Mohawk instead of a regular mane. Maybe I'd like for my lion to be the correct color! Or maybe my panda to have a neck!

I try to suggest things I think both myself and at least a good portion of the player-base would enjoy, I really do. I'm not thinking about only myself in my suggestions. I accept any and all constructive criticism, however bluntly rejecting my ideas, or any other persons ideas is just rude. So if you have anything to ADD, AMEND, or COMMENT ON. Please do so! However, if you only wish to say YES or NO, vote and don't bother posting, you'll just make an -censored-(Use your Imagination, if you're browsing the suggestions forum, I'm sure you've got one) out of yourself.

b:cool Duke shouts: Let it be known that it's time to kick *** and chew bubblegum, and I'm all out of gum.

Alas, my long, sugar-rush fueled post comes to an end. However I must repeat myself on one issue, one last time, as it is of the greatest importance.
GIVE...PANDA...BARBARIANS...NECKS!!!

    Um...don't play a barb? b:question

    I never really understood the fox form thing either, but my Veno doesn't use fox form so I don't really care about it.

    Gender of the Untamed is based on Chinese mythology. If you've got that big of a problem with it, you'll have to take it up with the Chinese.

    I wasn't QQing like both of the responders seem to believe I was. I'm simply looking for ways to improve the game, that's the purpose of the suggestion forums. However i do believe the panda barbarians should be given a neck, that's the only real complaint in my entire post, I can deal with the eye shadow, it's just ugly. As for the untamed classes being based on chinese mythology, I've looked into this. Nothing, I repeat, nothing supports this theory. The closest relevant being in Chinese Mythology/Folklore to the venomancer class is the 'huli jing' or fox spirit. It literally means exquisite fox, and is a modern day insult to call somebody a home-wrecker, **** or a *****. Now, looking into huli jing mytholgy something stands out that apparently everyone overlooks. Everything I found states that Huli Jing USUALLY/TYPICALLY presented themselves as young beautiful women. Nowhere have I seen that they ONLY appear as women. I've even found several old(about 100 years) stories about male fox spirits seducing women, and even a few about **** male fox spirits. Now, as far as I can tell, unless Chinese mythology has another werefox type being, there is nothing in support of venomancers being a female-only class as it's part of chinese mythology. I just don't see the point in the untamed race being the only gender-specific race.

    Xymantha, it appears you can't read, if you can't offer constructive criticism, don't post. Nothing you said offers anything to the thread, maybe had you told me HOW my logic fails, then your post would have had some reason. Troll harder next time.
    1. In your opinion, and that's fine, vote that way. b:thanks
    2. Explain yourself, or stop trolling. b:shutup
    3. Good for you, nobody can read that in-game. b:laugh
    4. Congratulations, you couldn't be more wrong. Have a cookie. b:bye

    good ideas but devs wont listen this is a usseless part of the forum anyway
    and you gl with QQing more nothing will change and even if they decided to make male venos and female barbs male venos would look utter **** and a female barb like a raging ****(for example look at female bms for a while)
    its impossible to always do the right thing we all make mistakes i am not different from that
    just try to be a good person

    english isn't my native language so there might be a few spelling/grammatical errors in my posts

    I think its a decent idea, but its possibly asking too much even if they were to listen. I would hope AT LEAST they'd make it a little more customizable in maybe making you able to change fur color and such on barbs. I mean. You turn into a white tiger. Why can you only be an orange one in 'human' form? And wolves are in no way only one color. Should be able to be black or white or grey-grey, and not just blue-grey. Lets have some purple lions running around. At least we'd be able to do SOMETHING with it.

    Just so you're aware: If you give people the option to select multiple responses, many will select all of them. Myself included. Enjoy figuring out what was real and what wasn't.

    Venomancers are Female. Barbarians are male. It will forever be this way. So suck it up and deal with it already.

    Let me clarify the untamed : we are asexual... there are no male or female in the untamed race.

    Get it right people. b:laugh
