"Topless" Valla now looks ridiculous - and the female warrior too.
Also I find it disrespectful and discriminating against all women playing here.
And its unreasonable too ... or what would you think of male warriors without pants? or armors?
Next step is all fighting totally naked?
This is a warrior-gamesite and no sex-role-playing-one.
I'm a new player here on Tynon - and if this "undressing" will go on - I quit.
That's not funny at all and I am angry about that - really - I'm not joking.
From the onset of the game (registration, the girl in the loading screen, and Letizia in the initial quests), one could surmise that Tynon is geared towards the male crowd.
I am pretty confident most of the people who registered for the game knew what they were getting into.
I have to agree with Herby on this, actually. If you don't like it, the door is around here somewhere.
- on the new valla look:
it does kinda seem like a blurry set of mammory glands, shouldn't be very hard to add a little color to her character's chest region. i'm a guy but I don't play this game to look at (_)(_)'s.
Let's at least get her a bikini top or something!
Being disrespectful and discriminating against women is only one opinion. I personally find it empowering to see women that can achieve "tough" without giving up feminine or sexy. It's like having cake and eating it too.Quote:

Dialing Valla down or making the female warriors more mannish would relegate all the "hot" women in the game to supporting roles. No thanks.
I'm probably biased, as an ex-Marine. I liked shooting guns, and outscoring men on the rifle range. I liked making it look good too.
I, for one, like "Ta Ta's". To quote Forest Gump... "That's all I got to say about that." :p
I think there are plenty of ways to make the female characters look sexy, alluring and totally bada** without them looking like they're trash or in idiotic lingerie. I would wholeheartedly approve of the artistic exploration of this.
I like the idea of naked characters o_O
Joke.
No, I think they all look nice.
Dear Cate...
It is not you that has everything figured right. Tynon is a VERY BEAUTIFUL SETTING, and EVERYTHING about it has had MUCH THOUGHT, and MUCH PLANNING. Also there are other MMORPG browser games that have sexy advertising also. But if you would be "more thoughtful", THAT OTHER SEXY ARTWORK OF YOUNG WOMEN PROVES ONE THING...
"THE ABSOLUTE BEAUTY THAT A WOMAN POSSESSES." That beauty whether it is in a pixelated form, or the real thing, "Is something to be appreciated, not criticized, just as much as you would appreciate the same kind of attention." And those that are creating such beautiful artwork, have a good heart, and a good mind, and their efforts at creating such beautiful artwork should be appreciated too.
NOTE: If you had read the Tynon Forum Rules...

...you would find out that YOU are to be RESPECTFUL towards ALL PEOPLE, or you can be BANNED from Tynon.
look theres tasteful and theres just disgusting.
I find all the other female artwork tasteful regardless of sexiness . But the new valla is not sexy imo its disgusting. And its not so much the vulgarity of her breasts its the proportions and her stance that big me. I think they should redo the artwork for valla.
Nice to quote the Forum Rules.. but where is Tynon beeing the example in here? How to keep people to rules while they break them themselves??? Sorry.. maybe because i'm female and blonde.. that i don't get that part.. but in my view, that's just beeing naive and NOT showing any respect and encouraging people to break rules.
Thanks for the feedback, we do want to hear your opinions. The Valla changes are not the most popular that we've ever made, and we'll be changing her. That said, Valla is not topless.
Discussion of sexism, racism, and hate speech is not allowed on these forums, so I'll be closing this thread. Again, thanks for the feedback, but please remember to follow the forum rules.
