Chain Mail Bikini. Skimpy, Almost Nude, Near Naked Sexy Outfits

This may seem like splitting hairs, but I think it’s in a persons’ biological genetics to be attracted to the opposite gender. Intoxicated is another condition entirely, and has a lot of other (unhealthy) factors which contribute to it.

Folks of any gender can choose believe and behave differently than their inherent factual biology might chemically condition them to (self-control is good). Becoming “intoxicated” by the chemicals produced in preparation for certain activities is generally regarded as unhealthy in the professional health community.

As for the rest of the post, I think it’s summed up into two topics:

  1. How much “skin” should be shown in a video game?
  2. How practical is skimpy armor in warfare?

The first comes down entirely to a business decision. The amount of skin shown can attract or repel target demographics. A “moderate amount of modesty” tends to attract and keep the largest range of consumers. If the outfit is one which could/would/might be seen in a public setting (evening gown, swimsuit, etc), then it’s generally regarded as a “moderate amount of modesty”.

The second… also comes down to a business decision. A believable world setting tends to perform well. Can a “Mostly Naked, Bikini-Wearing Amazonian Warrior Princess” combat hordes of monsters and survive? Likely not, but not impossible. And since the consumers of fantasy role playing games are invited to depict a particularly heroic character… such things often become expected of the overall experience.

Microsoft/Activision/Blizzard likely would only make adjustments in cases of serious backlash. For example, Alextraza’s new outfit in Dragonflight is notably more modest than her current/previous one… likely due to the Lawsuits and the 10+ year-old-video of a dismissed complaint regarding the “Victoria’s Secret” appearance of many of the new female models being released in the Cataclysm era.

You clearly don’t get sarcasm, neckbeard.

… And here I am. Glad that FF14 at least doesn’t remove Subligar outfits for both genders.

Its a classic fantasy trope that could go both ways. Let people make their male or female avatars skimpy if they want to. It doesn’t hurt anyone.

And while we’re on the subject…it’d be nice to get some new skimpy armor please!

I don’t think what she says is so nonsense, rather Blizzard’s inclusive policy is seen to be limited to new designs seen in the latest expansion, and they are not the tiers that are a disaster of a fantasy armor design in an MMO since after 8.0, sees each dungeon set is a single type since BfA, be it the Kultiran pirate or marine set so to speak from Kultiran Dungeons, or the Zandalari set in Zandalar Dungeons.

And let’s not forget the Oribos set in every dungeon in Shadowlands, it’s really a lack of imagination to what was once a versatility.

But between skimpy sets, at least from vanilla to Draenor, the Transmog, no matter how limited it may be, at least gives us some imagination to what we want to give and it is not a From Software game where we took in vain to make a customization of our face just to cover our faces, that’s what makes the diverse human customization hypocritical when Azeroth knows that humanity on this planet is crap apart from extinct.

Pandarens in bikinis they have shown that they have been sexier than goats in bikinis, although on 9.2.5 the horde will receive more fanservice in mythic + from the alliance thanks to the crossfaction.

and you bikini goat :goat: ?

From what I see according to your race and class of your armor class, I don’t see that this orc is seeing something attractive.

his problem when Square Enix laughs in your face about his woke system of political diversity.

Something curious and strange about the spirit of the game in mechanics that do not even know about the devs that happen or us, is that I saw that female sexy tanks resist as much as DH Vengeanze in MT than a type more armor than a Potemkim or armored Panzer Armoured.

They are rare things that happen in a game, and the statistics will not help you even if you have done the right thing in equipping yourself.

At least it’s more detailed and not a censored HotS style that seems to be Ysera’s and not the sexy Alextrassa we saw on WotLK

But I think Blizzard should give more details not only to their characters, but to ours, it is incredible that until now there are no these skirts and tabards seen in Nightborne Suramar Legion or the kirians female angels like it’s same with the Valkiers in WotLK, how unpleasant, worse when there is no incubus or Succubus set, and much worse the lack of a Shivarra set.

As characters come in comics in Manga like Anveena or Tyragosa.

Or in the case of the sorceress Helfs like Anime Magicals Girls that Blizzard never gave in WotLK Dungeon

Actually even Blizzard has yet to give these designs to our community and forgetting it would be an insult and a lack of respect for the franchise for its ridiculous policy.

What’s funny to me is that the people I know who love these sets the most are women.

So the idea that this is a bad thing is just totally lost on me.

For you guys its a trope, for me its part of my celtic heritage - Im being oppressed by the system!

But seriously blizzard if you want a free idea for popular transmogs: bodypaint ‘shirts’ like the Dragonrider Harness from BFA just shirt slot instead of chest slot (and mail, grrrr) maghar orcs and LF draenei get all the cool body paint/tats :frowning:

There’s a leather and mail version:

Both are options from the same quest. Unfortunately, neither is transmoggable. Though the current hidden chest option makes this kind of moot now.

Reminds me of a cartoon where a director was saying “This is a family show. When you are hacking her to pieces be careful about ripping her blouse. We don’t want too much skin showing.”

Bikini or no bikini the cutest thing I ever saw was a Pandaren girl doing that bunny dance with her hands up side her head mimicking bunny ears I think. Just plain cute.

Here you are complaining about skimpy armor, while all this time I’ve been complaining about all the ugly armor. I am so tired of ugly.

I just want armor that looks attractive and flattering on males and females. WoWs armor is mild compared to what you’ll find on Nexus or Lovers Lab. I want my character to look like a lead singer in a heavy metal band. I’m a fan of Xena the Warrior Princess. That’s the attitude I’m going for. That’s the kind of fantasy I want to portray. I like chain mail bikini armor if done right. It depends if it fits the fantasy I’m going for.

World of Warcraft has always been a fantasy game. We are fans of fantasy role playing games. Men and women have been fantasy for a long time. Just because not as many women play video games, doesn’t mean women don’t enjoy expressing their love of fantasy in other ways. A fraction of those females do play World of Warcraft, including me. WoW has always established it self as a fantasy. It never intended to be historically accurate. Most players don’t want it to be historical.

It’s like going to a dog park and complaining about all the barking.

In real life, most soldiers fought with no clothes on, no armor, nothing at all. This is fantasy, not meant to be realistic. So having a piece of armor that would weigh half a toon on your tauren is possible here. Having a sword the size of your horse is also possible. So on both extremes of overgeared and undergeared they both fit. Only guards or in ceremonies would you have lots of armor on in real life.

So people saying bikini armor is unrealistic is false. You would tire out and get a heatstroke fighting in a full suit of armor like we have in WoW. Expensive too.
