We desperately need some cute shoe, ankle boot, and full boot (craftable and store bot) that actually looks cute. I ask this as a female player. Our options are pretty slim. Yes, we have several craftable items but they look ugly and clunky at best. So far the best one I have seen is the ankle boot from the Satin Bodice Set in the store. PLEASE! @Scottie we need your help.
I would add that having too small of a variety of outfit customization and wearables isn't narrowly limited to just footwear. Also of the pieces that I can craft - be it boots or otherwise - the ones that I like visually are frequently armors with inferior stats compared to other pieces in the same material type. Unfortunately, crafted armor doesn't allow you to acquire a Pattern of it to reskin to another craftable armor piece - so you can get the look or the stats you want, but not both.
Ah! Hello there! Though I'm never assigned to work on character clothing (because those specific parts must be created by the excellent character artists we have among us) I can alert them about this post, and even pass this request on to Starr as a JIRA task that the managers can discuss and hopefully approve! ^_^ @UglyFist and @Scathanna (the character artists I mentioned) have indicated that, not only are they willing to create such things, they'd love to have the chance to introduce a broader and more pleasing array of apparel for female players. Games like ours, historically, have often catered far too heavily in the favor of masculine fashions and interests, so this is a good opportunity to expand our selection! I'll see what I can do to get this assigned as a future task! Scottie ^_^
I'm looking forward to a broader selection of shoes and boots. And possibly also skirts and tops that can be combined in different ways? But please also make more appealing masculine fashion. Being a pretty girl with nothing pretty to look at can get dull. May I request a pair of pants with studded codpiece please?
Thank you for this push. In the handful of MMOs I've played over the last decade that either started with an impressive array of costumery - or that eventually added a lot of costumery options so players could customize their look - this greatly appealed to a large camp in the MMO player base that have strong feelings about connecting with a certain visual style. After all, you are going to be looking at your character for 100(0)s of hours of game play.
Thank you @Scottie Our guild has a lot of RL females(We converse on Discord) and being able to customize our characters looks whether they be female or male is a part of how we visualize each character. For us, it is so important that we even research the names we choose for them as well as their persona, how they look at life as well as interact with it. Attractive choices in their attire is therefore crucial. I really appreciate how swiftly you responded. Visually this game is amazing and has so much potential. Keep it up!
THIS. i was so looking forward to the new female peasant clothing, and then saw it was being packaged as dresses, rather than mix-match skirts/blouses/capes.
Clothing is highly important, i mean look at SL, it is pretty much all about fashion. but. please. no. chain. mail bikini. Serious.....
