Thread: OMG they nerfed bodysuits!!!
"I'm sorry you cant look like your naked anymore, but thats the way it is. "
As I said before, I don't own a fleshtonebodysuit. I never have purchased any bodysuit. I own the 'I Dream of Jeannie' suit, and the fishnet exotic dress' thing. But that doesn't mean I'm oblivious to the threat suggested by the nerfing of the bodysuits. Now that the bodysuits have been nerfed, the crosshairs of the 'Religious Right Gameplayers Organization' are focused squarely on my preferred outfits. It would be a cryingshame if the exotic dress (which is farmore revealing than the fleshtone bodysuit) was deleted from the game. It would be a shame not only because it's an incredibly sexy outfit, but it would be a shame primarily because the outfit is featured prominently in Return of the Jedi.
Beery calm down, its just a game. You really need to take a step back and breath. There are still lots of outfits to wear in the game. I'm sorry you cant look like your naked anymore, but thats the way it is.
Its done its happened. And just becuase some of us agree with sony, doesnt mean where 13 cent. Where you my dear would have never been allowed to voice such opipion by the way.
The fact of the matter is, a good amount of dancers and others went around in flesh colored body suits, yelling omg look im naked! And giving lap dances and genreal acting like they were naked. I know its unfair, but sometimes the whole as to suffer because of the few. Thats life. If you dont like it, stop playing. there are other games out there
I have to agree in complaining SOEs decision.
How much children are playing with Barby and Ken? A toon with a fleshcolored bodysuit shows not more like this toys.
I had no fleshcolored one but a white and a black one, which looked very well dancing with them.
Now I look like I am covered with dried mud wearing a bodysuit.
And I dislike, that I have to throw away 2 bodysuits, two leggings and some skinsuits, cause a worng understood sense of shame and medieval views, and the fact that the designers were to boring or uninspired, to make them looking nice (what about stockings or pantihoselike skin for example, or just a darker color on the affected bodyparts?)

Where I live in RL I once visited a theatre performance. It was a play frequently attended by school classes, including 12 year old children. An interpretation of Faust.
In that play they used two bodysuits. One was worn by a female actor, portraying her as completely naked, including her pubic hair and breast nipbles. The other suit was worn by a male actor who depicted Mephisto. It included a penies. With the stage light they used, both suits looked absolutely realistic. Mephisto rapet the woman. In another scene he peed into beer mugs, with water being pumped through the part of his bodysuit that depicted his manlihood.
Some of the people who took part in the acting were school teachers and parents of school children. Because the nudity was not real flesh but just bodysuits it was deemed perfectly fine and acceptable for teenage children. And because the rape and peeing, occult rites and whatever else they showed, was part of a classic play by a famour German writer, one that is mandatory reading in many high schools here, it was deemed absolutely acceptable, educative and of course not at all harmful for the children.
Given this one simple RL example, the bodysuit nerf appears as tremendeously ridiculous to me. I mean, in RL you have those much much much more realistic bodysuits in school theatre and here somebody obviously had a problem with a few pixels basically showing nothing ;-) Hihihi. This is really, really weird. Well, maybe I should be grateful to live in Europe... :-)
hehe Anshe_ another funny note on what's alloud and what's not.
daytime TV it's perfectly leagle to show liveTV of a guy being shot and killed but shoting a womens nipple isn't *gasp*
silly rules
"The fact of the matter is, a good amount of dancers and others went around in flesh colored body suits, yelling omg look im naked!"
Perhaps if I'd seen even one example of this, I might be a little more inclined to give your argument the benefit of the doubt. However, in about 6 weeks of playing, and virtually all of that time spent in the most popular cantina (Coronet) I never saw anything like the kind of thing you're suggesting. Perhaps your server is full of 14 year-old boys who have avatars built to appeal to their pubescent fantasies, and who are obsessed with getting them as nude as possible. I just haven't seen it, at all, ever. Once I saw someone mention that another player's (a Twilek's)bodysuit made them look naked, but the Twilek merely reminded him that Twileks in the movies tend to wear flesh-coloured bodysuits.

I just wish I knew why that was so bad that the developers felt they had to put a stop to it. People behave like idiots in onlinegames - it kinda goes with the territory, but to punish every dancer for the stupidity of a few is wrong. It's especially wrong since the few stupid people have every right to behave stupidly, and besides, their avatarsweren't even truly naked. Their ownersmerely (according to you)CLAIMED they were. If I claimed I was Napoleon, would you argue that I was in facta dictator and warmonger, and that Ishould be exiled to Elba??? This is the sort of logic your argument represents.
"All the screaming in the world wont make it change"
I disagree. Companies change poor decisions all the time. It was changed, and it can just as easily be changed back.
I've said it on another thread and I'll say it here. Cantinas are not strip joints.
In Sunrunner's Coronet Cantina I've seen quite a few idiots in their 'birthday suits' raving on and on about 'being naked' and getting a wee bit more graphic than the PG 13 rating of the game. It is these indiscrete morons that have gotten the suits changed. If people had used these suits in an intelligent manner and in more private areas, I certainly wouldn't have cared less.
The appearance of the human body is a beautiful thing and sex is certainly a gift from the gods... but not in public where children may be watching.

"I've said it on another thread and I'll say it here. Cantinas are not strip joints."
I agree, but the big hole in your argument is thatbodysuits aren't birthday suits.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: nudity is not wrong, and wearing tight fitting clothes is even less wrong. If anyone thinks that a bodysuit equates to nudity, I'm afraid they have psychological issues.
Also, since we're bringing children into this discussion, let's be very carefulnot to confuse nudity with sex. There is nothing at allwrong in a child seeing a nude body - nudity is the body's natural state. Sex and nudity are NOT the same thing, and anyone who makes children think that nudity is somehow shameful and/or sexualisscarring that child psychologically. Sex is a different matter, and needs to be addressed in a careful and nurturingway when presenting the facts to a child. However, that's not to say that sex is wrong or shameful either, and anyone who presents it as shameful or wrong is also scarring the child emotionally.

So you think that SOE is willing to go back to leaving themselves vulnerable to a lawsuit? They were open before with this, and this helped close it. I don't think that your screaming about how natural nudity is will convince them to expose themselves to a lawsuit by someone who disagrees with you.
I can only speculate on the true intention of their decision, but like any large company, I feel that decisions of this delicate nature are an attempt to keep frivolous lawsuits off their front door.
And we get the point already. There is nothing wrong with nudity. I agree with you, but I don't need to read it more than once.
"So you think that SOE is willing to go back to leaving themselves vulnerable to a lawsuit?"
This idea that SOE is going to be threatened with a lawsuit over bodysuits is so ridiculous that it's laughable. There is NO NUDITY INVOLVED in this case. Thus, there is absolutely no basis on which to base a lawsuit. The frivolity of such a lawsuit would be apparent to even the most litigious and unethical prosecution attorney. No one could ever get such a suit into a preliminary hearing, let alone win a lawsuit based on such arisible pretext. To claim that SOE has reason to fear a lawsuit over this is about as reasonable as claiming that Godzillais a real threat to Japanese cities.
"There is nothing wrong with nudity. I agree with you, but I don't need to read it more than once."
If others continue tointimate that nudity is wrong, then I will refute them each time. If you sincerely believe that nudity is okay, I suggest you take that up with those who continue to disagree with that premise.
