Male to Female

@pandemonium616 it is a long requested feature to reroll your character, it is sad that there isnt one as of yet but alot of people still accept it and thus it is acceptable.

As a software engineer myself i expect that the way they built the game or at least the way they linked progression to the pirate in the game doesn’t allow them to easily change this and make it an option, this doesnt mean this feature will never be available but it means at least it would take a huge amount of effort.

sorry but this is ridiculous.

Progress in this game means nothing and if someone dislikes the char he or she had started playing with it's not anyones fault but the person themself.
there is no change Character thing until and maybe will be added as a feature for the Pirate Emporium, but then it need to be for everyone possible in all ways you can imagine.
Hey what about i feel like a marsian and had surgery for greenish skin and eyes like an Alien? Am i discrimintated then?

With all honest and beeing someone who has no problems with gay (the apropriate word was censored), transgenders and such it's not anyones fault or responsibility to cater to this.

I treat everybody as a human being, no matter what you are or how you feel or what you want to be.
But to tell us it is discrimination if they dont allow a gender switch or a character reroll is completeley ridiculous and rather outrageous.

It's really outrageous to think we all need to cater to people who deviate from the norm in a special way.
No! they arent special, they dont get special rights, they get equal rights.
And that is something we all need to fight for, no matter if you are one of them or not!
Equal rights, but not special rights or treatment!
This attitude and want to get more attention because you are a minority or somehow special is what some mentally retardes use as an argument against equal treatment and rights saying: see they want to be special when they are not.

gay*, transgender, africans, asians. green, yellow, purple people arent special, they are humans like any other 0815 human and i would always fight for them to have equal rights and get equal treatment, but not extra or special!!!

*i wanted to use another more aproriate and political correct word, but it was censored.

@xzodeak sagte in Male to Female:

You can put "female" clothes and hairstyles on the male character model? Your friend can be the first transgender pirate

i like this :)

@bugaboo-bill as you can so, I have removed the discrimination from it as I can completely understand what people are saying and I admit it was the wrong word to use, but I wouldn't say it was ridiculous to ask.for a feature that would be good for so many people.

all fine, i read it after i posted my comment.

Yes i also suport the idea to reroll your character without loosing progress as something they can offer for 5 bucks in the pirate emposium.
Nothing wrong about that.

Your friend is welcome no matter what she is or how she feels.
Seriously i have met very nice and amazing people who switched gender. No joke i was even a surgery assistant and assisted exactly one of these surgery's when a "man" became a woman with sucess and she was really amazing ;)

First of all we are all humans, that is it what is important, the rest is individuality. :)

I wish for your friend to soon get the option to do so.
Until she may consider what @XZODEAK wrote.

What i don't understand is why has this person not took the gender he or she prefers from the start? i don't want to feed all the guys who are running in a female Pirate, and vice versa , or my refrigerator would be empty...

Years ago we warned all New Pirates to take your time into choosing your character untill you were 100 percent content with the one who was standing before your nose…

No , i'm not going to turn the screwdriver in the wound as you have reworded the whole topic but there is , at this moment , no way to change it . this is maybe sad but … maybe ,when time and the constant cries for more content become silent , they may spare some time to give us a second choice without losing progression or cosmetics.

@pandemonium616

it took me over 2hours to get a character model what comes close to the pirate i had in the Alpha and Beta Stages :)

Once i played SWTOR and i were stucked in the character creation process finding a cool name for the Star Wars universe.
I ended u with Kenbun Batto and it took 4 hours! :D

Some people maybe think that it is ridiculous, but i know and understand why people want to identificate with their char and alter ego in a game.
To me it's also a very important thing.
If my Alter Ego is not what i like, i refuse to play the game, even if the game is fun and i like it.

I have very much to loose if i would switch my character, but luckily i'm very happy with Mr. Bugaboo Bill :D

He's a little like me, if he shave his beard he looks like another person and like a Babyface XD

@pandemonium616

Oh , i do understand , but why can he or she not crossdress for this moment , i know that it is just a bandage on a wound , but , although i know that yer character is very important , the rest of the game is still the same...

i think that many Pirates don't care if a girl Pirate uses a guy Pirate as character or vice versa...i think your Friend is indeed struggling about the everyday things in life. People who are not close , see a sudden change and will look strange or start gossipping but she has to stand above this all and enjoy the True Core of this game ,namely playing , dreaming away , go with the flow of coincidense that this game so perfectly provides and most Pirates , including me ,don't care if we play with a girl in a guy Pirate … Let her know that , for this moment , she just has to make the best of it , and i'm confident that ,in time , Rare may be import the chance to alter a character , as many Pirates feel they would like a second chance , for whatever reason...

i'm a guy ( * haha , you're an Old sock, George , you utter moron), but if i play Tomb Raider ,i play with a girl Lara Croft ...So , this doesn't change my thinking, it is what it is and i just play...

Tell your Friend that she has a place under God's Sun, just like you , me and everybody else . A Pirate Character doesn't define a person...A Heart and Mind does , but not a graphical depiction...
i know ,like said before , it takes huge mental steps in this progress but for me and many others it simply doesn't matter who we play with or what kind of graphical choice this person has made to represent her or him… We play with a person, man female or new gender , i don't care , as long as persons come to the Sea to forget real life and enjoy themselves during the hours they grant themselves an ascape from the real world...

Your Friend needs to see that this game is a place where she can go ,just to have fun and no one will point a finger , she doesn't have to tell us her life story before she may join any of us on the waves and the character ...Well, it's just a character … And very many have chosen too hastly… i think that in time a reroll may still happen...Rare hasn't confirmed it officially but haven't denied it officially either...

She doesn't have to give up courage and i hope that she sees this game as a place where she can set aside all wordly problems or other nasty thoughts or comments aside … We are Brothers and Sisters of the Coast , we fight , we goof , we just have fun and we forget about the world that tries to floor us in the first round!
