A little something for the ladies....

  • As more and more cosmetic options are introduced into the game, I am surprised at the lack of longer hairstyles and cosmetics geared towards the ladies playing. I would love to see options more tailored too my fellow female pirates. Examples would be pony tails or beach curls (see what I did there). Maybe even some sort of make-up, much in the same way the men have facial hair choices. And, just as I've seen many a female rocking a killer beard, the male populace would also have the choice to don some killer lipstick.

    Absolutely! Options for women are seriously lacking, hair especially but clothing, too. Maybe Rare needs to hire a fashion consultant for 18th century pirate women! 😊

  • @genuine-heather exactly! Maybe the fashion expert can revamp some of the current dresses that look cumbersome and awkward!

    Ohmygosh yes, please...

  • I agree 100%, kind of frustrated at this point since it's been requested repeatedly with little response.

  • The new skeleton throne dress looks like the Flinstones...

  • I wouldn't mind a long ponytail or a braid.
    Preferably with some bangs too =)

    Well, the more upvotes things we want get, the more likely they will pay attention. So when you see someone requesting this, upvote them!

  • Can at least pull off two of those hairstyles out of the many that look hella manly.
    Men also have beards. Should at least havd accessories or jewelry for the women.
    Longer hair would be nice.
    Only noticed one that looked decent for the female. Has been wearing it since picking my character.alt text

  • Yes! And where are the ruffled shirts? Everyone knows pirates wore ruffled shirts. Sheesh!

  • Maybe one day soon c: @genuine-heather

  • @pink-geek-chic Agreed! Plus Capri Pants, corsets, more hats, shoes and jewellery! We want more for the ladies!

  • @pink-geek-chic yeeeeeessssss I need to see big curly afros please!!!!!!!

  • I agree, I don't think their attention is focused enough on cosmetics.

  • I totally like the aspect of the game, that women are not over sexualised.

    But, yeah, of cause.. add all those stuff, so everybody can run around with a half-naked female avatar with full make up and wonderbra.

    I do NOT support this request!

    The choice of facial hair is available to everybody. If you consider this a choice for men only, then please consider the dresses in the game for women only. Which means dedicated choices for both genders are even.
    I, as a man, do not have a problem to have the same amount of gender-specific choices as women have. Do you have?

    Facial hair is a Male trait. And in my original post, I even mentioned that having makeup or the likes being available to everyone....just as facial hair is.

    The balance is NOT even and that's the point.

    And I never said anything about sexualizing women. But lets be clear...you're saying it's fine for a man to display his masculinity running around with no shirt, but having choices catered to celebrating a woman is "sexualizing." Because, that's what I'm hearing.

    I think itd be nice to be able to wear a pirate coat over a dress

  • @rattlyfob yes!

  • @pink-geek-chic said in A little something for the ladies....:

    @rattlyfob yes!

    Granted... my interest in this is to perfect my pirate kilt look... buuuut hey i think it benefits everyone

    Wow, how you removed the word "dress" from my quotation and not mentioned it in your answer a single time. Like there are no dresses in the game. I must have made up these dresses completly.

    Can we please agree, that facial hair is a male trait and dresses are a female trait (exceptions in both directions possible)?

    So it's even.

    You got me wrong here.
    I think it's a good thing in this game, that woman look decent / realistic (as far as this is possible in a cartoony theme). Unlike in other games, breast size does not start at Double D and goes up until clipping errors crash the computer.
    Clothes are covering the skin. In other games, if you compare an item on a male and female character, you have to asume, the male item is made from three times as much cloth. Because the female clothes are just covering the legal minimum.

    And some requests / replies sounded just like you want this game to go the same way:

    @lizalaroo sagte in A little something for the ladies....:

    Plus Capri Pants, corsets, more hats, shoes and jewellery! We want more for the ladies!

    Request for corsets.. What's the purpose of a corset again? Hmmm..

    @pink-geek-chic sagte in A little something for the ladies....:

    some of the current dresses that look cumbersome and awkward!

    Cumbersome.. what would be the opposite of a cumbersome dress? Hmmm...

    You asked for ways to make your character more attractive. Not a crime. But the result would be the same over sexualized female avatars like in any other game.

  • Makeup/facepaint is already comingto the game.

  • @pink-geek-chic Although I agree with this suggestion, why is this only directed at women?
    I am a 56 year old hetero male with long hair that I wear in a ponytail.

    Hmm, having said that, mascara would highlight my eyes nicely. :o)

  • @admiral-rrrsole I apologize...i was naturally speaking to my own experience as a woman.

    I was ignorant in not taking into account that many men would care to have this feature too (and i love a man withwith long hair!). I should have been more inclusive in my phrasing!

  • @pink-geek-chic more like --- look like damn jackets at worst long coats at best... at least when I wear them on my male model. I am being told I am wearing a dress, I want to KNOW I am wearing a dress dangit! The models we have across the board on this topic are just as you suggest, bulky and cumbersome.

    Make-up too... I mean hell for NO other reason than the Jack Sparrow-ness of it all!

  • @pink-geek-chic It's totally understandable and I didn't take it as an insult.

    After three months of sailing with a dude in a dress (he has a wife and five kids) it has opened my mind somewhat and I would like to look my best for battle or any unexpected engagements. :o)

  • @admiral-rrrsole because it will be addressed quicker if "oh no, our female fan base feels forgotten"

    So let it be a lady's request.

    Im not going to say which dress but one of them looks like a kilt of sorts and Id love if I could wear a coat over it so I could perfect the look.

  • @admiral-rrrsole I love this! What are the kid's names?!

  • @pink-geek-chic said in A little something for the ladies....:

    @admiral-rrrsole I love this! What are the kid's names?!

    I can only remember one of their names as he "Griff" has played with us a few times.
    But I have just noticed that the dress wearing dude posted right before my previous post so why don't we ask @Blooddoll22 himself? lol

  • Sinve your thread will get much more attention than mine can you include the "dandy" wig, which is pretty feminine. Like what Katie Perry wears in one of her music videos.

  • @longingfern4785 said

    Of course I can't speak for the intent of others, however...
    You may not have noticed that the quoted word "said" has been changed to German "sagte" possibly due to his location.
    Perhaps the translation of "dress" to "kleid" was also made due to his location and he thought it may have been too confusing.
    I don't know for sure, I don't speak German, but it took a quick google translate of "sagte" to come to this conclusion.

    Please forgive me if I'm wrong. :o)

  • @longingfern4785

    Stop being creepy my dude, OP just asked for more female cosmetics nothing wrong with that at all.

  • Jewelry would certainly be a nice touch...

  • @longingfern4785 said in A little something for the ladies....:

    Um, no. That’s absurd. Most women are physically incapable of growing a beard. But anybody can put on a dress.

    And what is your issue with corsets? They are period-appropriate garb. Most women wore them. Are you saying they’re too “sexualizing”?

    I don’t believe anybody was trying to “oversexualize” women. We just would like more options because the offerings for ladies are lacking at the moment.

  • @genuine-heather

    I do love the implication that something like, for example, a corset is oversexualising, when it is essentially a belt, with breast support.
    Given its original purpose and not the reasons people seem to think it was worn; it was literally just a way to alter a person's figure so as to look more flattering in a dress. Like a belt is pretty frequently used to tighten up a man's gut to make him appear vaguely more flattering.

    (Granted, it's not the original purpose of a belt, but I think it speaks to the void we have between items of clothing for males and those for females. E.G. A woman in a corset is sexual, but a completely shirtless man is just fine.)
