didnt say we couldnt all look hot... or wander around in skimpies... or any of the other variants people have posted... its all good and whatever rocks your boat... just asking for a full choice is all Blink

and for the reply about imagination... well yeah, except everything in the game starting with your in game personae is sooooo customisable why on earth should we have to 'image' something thats perfectly do able?

the point of the thread is to just raise the issue so ccp can see some of us would like a few more options...

Then use something in your inventory called 'the imagination'. Unsure as to what this topic is actually about. EvE has a powerful avatar customisation package > use it > don't make your avatar look like a barbie doll.

TL;DR: Stop. Think. Use brain.

Like, looking 80+ years old.

I've yet to see a male avatar look older than 40ish, and a female one look older than 30ish.


Agreed! Some older geezers wiser looking characters playing seasoned captains would do well in all four factions so we can have characters the likes of Antony Hopkins, Jon Voight, Christopher Plummer, to name just a few interesting faces…

Aaand this is why we also need cigars for our avatars!!!

Old is what happens to dirt dwellers.

We are pod pilots at the peak of our abilities. You think that at a time when cloning is common that pilots are not going to jump into prime 20 year old versions of themselves? I know I wouldn't.

CCP recognises that sometimes I'm just too lazy to alt-tab out of the client when I need some quick relief. Thank you CCP, get out hambeast.

Yeah lore, cloning, 20 is cool, bla bla.

Yawn.

I would make a ganker alt looking like Ralph King-Griffin's space grandma.

Achuras can easily wear a military looking shirt with military looking pants and boots, no need to buy anything in the NEX store even. Most other races have some sort of similar combinations, i think. The rest is really tame and actually fairly bland and boring - nothing i ever would call "sexualized" in any shape or form.

In general I agree about more options, though. Specifically more lore friendly things like the old Khanid clothes Cry, royal looking Amarr ornaments, crazy see-through Gallente stuff and wild haircuts and the cool looking headsets of Achuras CryCry .

Who told you about this immersions stuff ?


There is no immersions.


You clearly miss the point - the game is about industry spreadsheets and elite PvP skills that involve lots of drop down menus and pressing F1.

Has this thread devolved into cross dressing and jokes about what Amarrians wear under their robes?


They usually do, I just don't have time to read the whole thing.

Just because you want to burn a bra and borrow pant-suits from the 'Hillary Clinton Collection' so female avatars look like sh*t doesn't mean the rest of us want to.

I won't care about clothing until it's either free or costs less than a thousand ISK. I refuse to spend more on a pair of shoes than what it costs to buy a fleet of spaceships. It's completely ridiculous because there's absolutely no gameplay inside the captain's quarters that focuses on your avatar (except for sitting privately on a couch and reading the news) and so I only see my shoes 2% of the time on any given day in High Sec and when I'm in null, that drops to 0 percent because I'm using a POS instead of a starbase.

I am utterly incapable of understanding why I'd ever spend 900,000,000 ISK on a single article of clothing. I could buy enough cheap ships with that to give me a lot of PvP time!

All the world's a stage and all the men and women are the players.

EVE isn't other MMOs, and it barely registers as an RPG, although it can be played that way.

The thing that most distinguishes it from others, though, is that your 'avatar' is an afterthought. In EVE, your true avatar is whatever ship you're undocked in.

Despite claims about it being elite PvP at its core its an RTS.

An MMORTS I suppose if there is any such thing.

So this is a ringing endorsement for ship painting and Erebus microskirts?....


But anyways...

OP, blame the players for the current state of clothing, not CCP. They got what they asked for, and that's the demographic that plays Eve.

See: Undying petitions for a bottomless skirt and naked avatars (though I think most of these would end up being male, with the age slider maxed out).

Oh, and thanks Gully. It took a lot of work to get the lighting right to hide the wrinkles, but it was worth it. 40? You really think so? Feeling younger every day... P

i don't understand why male and female avatars need to have completely different clothing options? there's a lot of neat female clothing options that are currently totally unavailable to male toons and probably some male ones that would look cool on ladies too. in space, anyone can rock skin-tight latex pants and pencil skirts
