Mikka,

First of all, please try not to insult the developers who work at NGD.
we are trying to improve all of the animations in the game.
Regnum has a cartoon, comic feel to it, not a realistic artistic style...

If you look at the characters designs, all of them are stylized; specially female characters! (I don't know about your body type, but most women I know don't look like that, only models maybe)

I think you got used to the fact that we just had one animation for male and female, and women used to walk just like men, so your reaction is because of how this animation contrasts the other.

We used Motion-Capture references, and we did asked all the women working in our offices(5, including one artist) to comment if it was right, and not offensive.

We just can't believe that you find this offensive. Compared to other games Regnum is much more conservative in these matters, but having female characters walk as male characters was not a viable / attractive / realistic option.

Regards,

- Chilko

No, I've decided to just plague levelers. I won't get involved in big fights because all that will occur is the South Cross monkeys will rule. Now there's no way to escape their one-hit-kills. But....it's quite apparent that NGD doesn't really care about that...no, they'd rather remove the slight ability everyone had before to escape them.

So...I'll just kill em all while leveling. Now there's no realm chat so people can't disclose where I am.

We had a 50 vs 35 fight at aggers atm. The game lags, movement backwards is hampered, we cant call reinforcements. After dying 10 times i go off. No sense and fun in that - no money for NGD either.

well I don't think that a walking animation is sexist
I'd rather say that many female mobs in eg. WoW or Warhammer Online are sexist, with almost naked bodies. Yeah, I'd call that sexist.

So what about if you let the users choice the animation they want? I've not seen any other game where you could do that, but I guess it's not impossible. Different animations would give the game a very unique feeling, and you can't say you don't have the old movement captures and walk patterns.

Yea ive seen one online game where if a famale char wants to insult another char, she bends over and pats her butt in their face

How many people threadened NGD to leave after introducing fatique and new experience curce? And how many of them actually left the game?

People tend to overreact when new things they don't like are implemented.

the previous animation just doesn't have the same level of quality, polish and detail as this one.
both animations just cannot co-exist.

What do you mean cannot co-exist? I have seeing many MMORPG that has different animations, you could had implemented this as a optional animations to the users.

Besides that, I did not see in the changelog anything about this, so you basically did not give US the users a chance to test this things, you could had saved you from getting this right now.

This game supposedly is developed based on users feedback, but i see completely the opposite to this.

Regards.
