Calling it Body 1 & Body 2 feels objectifying

Nope,. we’re talking about Body Type 1 and Body type 2. Literally in the title of the thread.

As a UI designer, no. All combos would have to be an extra option, making too many options. Better to split them up in each of their own categories so the player can make the combos themselves with simpler choices.

Which is Blizzards new definition for gender apparently [So people say]. Did you not read the OP?

They wont do that tho. They will give us a few pre-defined body types. I wish they would but it would be a full overhaul. What they have currently is different pre-set body types.

Probably needs better labels than 1 and 2 then.

Fat female, Slim Male, Bulky Female, Short and Stout Teapot.

Or just 1,2,3,4 because they’ll likely be entirely different per race. There’s a visual icon as well. That’s plenty, and more then we have now.

Just give me body size 11 for Dracthyr. Let me be a Drakonid.

There are no labels at all, or numbers, just silhouettes on an icon. Call them what you want.

Oh, probably should split it up in options then, to use proper labels rather than numbers.

You know, to make it more user friendly and less confusing.

Height : Short, average, tall
Weight : Slim, Average, Big Boned
Bulk: Low Fat, No Abs, Albert.

Yeah, poor UI design.

It used to be very recognizable symbols, now It’s just a muscular person and a person who needs a sandwich in their life.

To be honest, IF they cared to put the work in, I would let the gender change go. IF body types actually got added. BUT I never see that happening, I think it was a change just for the sake of change. And that’s why I am upset. All races need options from built to just skinny with very little/no muscles. I personally hate the muscle look, male night elves look gross to me for that reason. Plus if someone is a caster class, having a built body makes no sense. But I don’t see it ever happening, too much time/resources etc. Look how bad the revamps went. I can’t even play human anymore due to their fish lips and weird eyes, I had to race change my human into draenei. I didn’t like the dwarf one either and also changes to draenei.

Imo they can have as many body types as they want as long as customization like hair styles, make-up and jewellery aren’t locked to specific body types like they currently are

How is a wall of text more user friendly then a button? lol Trolls for example have 3 body types. 3 buttons. EZ

You mean like changing paintings to fruits. Totally non-important change that literally had to be done right now.

Yeah that was stupid. I honestly never noticed/look at painting before the fruit, never looked at them after either. Just seems like a waste of time that could be better be spent making the game actually better, if they didn’t change stuff “just because”.

If you actually listened to victims you’d know that was a picture of a real person who was really harassed in their workplace. and wished for it to be removed.

Because that’s already how options are.

Victims of what ? It’s pixels on a screen. Who was victimized in the making of these pixels ?

Yes but sadly we wont have that many body types. If we do tho, that would be great!

The story about pixels on the screen ? Can you link me that story about how someone was victimized by them ?
