I want slimmer Pandaren

Well of course.

Fatter the panda the less fall damage. Skinny pandaā€™s die if they fall off a chair.

I want this too. Being fat is a good thing to Pandaren, yet if weā€™re seeing the ā€œrealā€ world, they shouldnā€™t have a concept of this because every Pandaren is exactly as fat as every other.

The fact that they put it in the lore (Gina Mudclaw is supposed to be extremely pretty because sheā€™s fatter than average, and I believe one of the Shado-Pan was made fun of for being skinny) without body options is a crime.

Pandaren should have had it before Dracthyr.

This is WHY there should be body options. And yes making one slimmer than the default would mean that to Pandaren, that character looks ill. But people want it and will play it.

Got to make sure youā€™re checking that fine print.

Pandaren women are the perfect size, why would you want to change that?

Instead of tumbling forward in an athletic/dragonpowerassisted somersault, you get the WoW version of pandas falling out of trees. Limbs everywhere, some mild bouncing, and a one-second stun at the end where your character sits up and looks confused.

I will accept nothing less.

Have you ever seen a thin panda IRL?

Especially after the introduction of kultiran. When you see 3 different models walking around boralus and can only be the chonky onesā€¦ oof.

Sliders should of been a thing LONG ago. Like nearly 15 years at this point. There is no reason, other than sheer laziness, that we donā€™t have them yet.

No, have you ever seen a Pandaren in real life?

I feel like female pandarens are already pretty slim. Or at least more akin to this one of Samwiseā€™s old concept art than the males are.

Though to be fair and balanced, this is apparently his first. Looks pretty huggable.

How shallow do you have to be, to be worried your character is fat? I mean good grief, the whole point ( spoiler alert) of King fu Panda was that his pudgy body could absorb blows.
IRL I have been a 108 lbs and starving and 200lbs and cant manage my belly and i must say that I prefer the latter.
Furthermore , I have always had a thing for large women, They give better hugs and they usually cook better.
Save the fat shaming for high school, nobody in the adult world gives a darn.

Is there a point to your post here? People want more customization options. That is NEVER a bad thing. Why you equate it to fat shaming high school antics is beyond me. They are asking for a slider for EVERYONE not just themselves. Something that should have been in the game over a decade ago. The tech has been there. Blizzard is just lazy.

Yeah idk why you took it as people wanting to shame.
No one has asked for the fat options/models to be removed, just for slimmer ones to be added.

Personally I like to in a way self insert when I make a character for an RPG. Iā€™d like to make a character that looks or represents in some way.
Thatā€™s why the current bigger options are good too, so we have varieties.

And yes, there are people who just donā€™t like fat characters, all the more reason to add more options.

It really isnā€™t that deep though.

OK , wow gave me a hate speech warning and i think it refers to my reply on this post, so lets try again and let me give you some perspective from my point of view before you judge me arbitrarily.
I am a cranky old man that is a cancer survivor and I am juggling like 20 things going on in real life and being caregiver to somebody that also has cancer, so when i heard " My panda is too fat" it popped a nerve in my brain and I typed down the first angry reply that popped in my head and i am sorry.

Put as nicely as i can manage, the mechanic that makes the panda an effective fighter , requires it to be over weight a tad and making the panda skinnier would be counter productive, to that result.

So by rolling a panda, you assert your desire to have a thicker character to begin with.

No. Not even going to say why this is a terrible idea, anyone with a shred of common sense can see where this will go, the second they add it.

I want slightly slimmer Kul Tirans. I meanā€¦ thereā€™s definitely body types that are larger/bulkier, but donā€™t have to be overweight per say.

Then get off the forums if you canā€™t handle people asking for more customizations. Plain and simple. If youā€™re so old that it pops a blood vessel about it, you need more help than you think. Go seek medical attention, as you could have serious underlying issues.

Yes, and I want Rachel Maddow to be reclassified as a barnyard hen. We donā€™t always get what we want. :wink:
