Simply question,

Why do you (male) play as a female character?
Vica verca goes the same!

lol as far as i know not.. spies are smaller then tanks so are monks.. and pe's are between.. but i don't think a female is any harder to hit then a male.. or else everybody would play female skins ;)

i just assume female characters are played by blokes anyway. this also has the advantage of avoiding feeling the need to impress someone in an mmorpg because you might think they are female :rolleyes:

Never played a female character befor on any MMO
-I just feel by playing my own sex, that I feel a bit more immersion to the game.
I treat People equally in game (ex. female PE comes up, "can you spot me some creds hun? 'me-Sorry, no-can do, best earn the money yourself, like the rest of us did), because I am well aware of the fact that there are a lot of "gender bender's" out there :D

Thats only HALF true, Ill give to the person if they are worthy of my "person judg-O-meter"

This being said, if they give me a detailed description, oh what they need, how far away they are from there goal, and what they need to get there, ill probably help them.

I shoulda also said that I dont give crap to beggers (the guys who stand around all day asking for cash.)

This doesnt mean I still WONT spot someone cash though, It all depends on the mood and the person (if trustworthy or not)

You would overwise treat women better than men? Thats a common attitude, and a pathetic one too. Why can't I go once for a change, or be taken out somewhere nice? Why is it always the damn women who get treated well? bleh... *continues mumbling*....

Unlikely seeing how targeting is always done via a box around the opponent. Mind you I've never bothered to measure if the targeting box is different b/w male or female models.

It's an illusion, the size of the box doesn't matter. All players/classes/genders/armour is as easy to hit as each other.

Aye. Also, while women were obviously treated with more sexism than men, men were still treated with a degree of sexism. Due to the fact that it wasn't as harsh, nobody ever really prostested that heavily against it. I would say women are almost entirely free from sexism nowadays (not counting individual assholes) due to heavy protests, but men are still quite far from it.

i play as females sometimes because the gaming population is mainly male which makes game worlds mostly male as well. The odd bloke playing a girl avatar creates a bit more realism in a way.

I sooooooo agree.




I play a male char because i'm male, but I regret it. Male chars are so ugly, especially tanks and monks. I wish I could change my monk to a female one, they have better models.


And yea, they do seem harder to hit. :wtf:

OK, i did not understand Benjie's comment

MY standing is, "ingame" I treat men AND women equally, No-one gets more or less help, the only determinent is there situation and there general attitude and MAYBE there faction/lv.

thats it.

Chivelry, yes I am in RL and IG(some call me a carebear for that :confused: ) I follow that code. or least I try to, but thats because Im a nice dude. Thats it. I still treat other people equally, no matter what there appearance is. :D

Well I don't play female avatars in this game but I do in Lineage 2. I play both male and female characters in Pen and Paper Roleplay. To me it's just roleplay and I will roleplay my characters especially in PnP and too a lesser extent in online computer games.

I have always played male chars. I dont know why, because I do not have anything against males playing females or females playing males. But if I talk to a female ingame, shes always female to me. I wont call male who plays female "he" its always "she" to me...

I usually play females, simply because that's what I'm most comfortable with (and I don't have to worry about forgetting I'm a male avatar and hitting on a guy by mistake :eek: )

I have a few male avatars I play when I don't want to be hit on...

There's no reason to say he takes it up the ass and then tell him to stfu.


Secondly, even if he was doing it for attention does that mean he deserves to be flamed? Perhaps RL he's in an environment where he feels repressed, perhaps he feels like he can't say anything, or maybe perhaps he's not looking for attention and that's just the way he is the same way a hetero male might put a pic of a hot chick in his sig.


Try to have a little understanding.

seraphian
15-08-04, 20:00
OK, agreed that Benji sometimes goes out of his way to advertise his sexuality, which is attention-seeking, but in general a LOT of gays/bisexuals do that, especially men. People like me see less need to advertise.

I was referring to the 'mother's underwear' post, not you Celt, BTW.

Celt
15-08-04, 20:00
There's no reason to say he takes it up the ass and then tell him to stfu.I said "if you take it up the ass", as personally, I dont give a shit what his or anyones sexual orientation is, its no reason to trumpet it on a forum.

Try to have a little understanding.There are plenty of LGB(lesbian, gay, bisexual) forums out there.

And he can't express that he's bisexual here? The same way tons of people express that they are hetero? If you wanna be technical, there's tons of heterosexual references people make everyday here on the forums. It's just that you're used to it and it doesn't bother you. It also doesn't stand out.


Secondly, answer my question. Even if somehow you went inside his head and knew he was doing it for attention, why on earth does that warrant such a nasty response from you?

You know what, Just because someone admits their gay does not give ANYONE the right to call them a ********

in fact the fact that they are gay gives that insult MORE severity.

and I garentee anyone calling me that is getting abuse@ called. Homosexual slurs are one of the FEW things that I CANNOT tolerate personally.

can we get back on topic please?

1. I play only female avatars as i think its easier to roleplay something that you aint. Makes it easier to keep RL out of IG (at least for me)
2. Did you look at the male avatars cept for the odd PE the look shite so playing a female is funnier.
3. If all male would play male you would hardly have female avatars ingame .

At the risk of pissing people off, Celt's basic point about people advertising their sexuality for attention is semi-valid, it's just his delivery sucks.

I know I'm guilty of the same thing on occasion, most people are, because face it, sex gets peoples attention. Dropping the fact you're bi into a conversation is a show-stopper, typically, great way to pick up guys, really.

Then again on a forum it's a different matter.
I think we should all just agree to disagree here, or at least go back to the beginning of the thread and re-read carefully...

I play as a female because I like to be sexually intimate with men, aswell as being romanticly attracted to them in real life. Because I am Bisexual and free to express myself in that way, just as a punk is sometimes allowed to play a character with piercings and dyed hair.

harder to hit because u start 'focusing' on other things than just trying to kil them in battle ;)

Also I've tested this theory of the 'female = skinner = harder to hit' , and it proved incorrect. Same target box. ( i kno 90% of yea going to go try it which you shold) I just dont want anymore dumb rumors going around like the 'less hp = take less dmg' bs.

I play female characters sometimes because I get tired of looking at male tank asses... and I'd like to see some changes in male/female characters other than visual... Say extra points in agility (forced) for female characters or something or the other, perks of the gender if you like... Would add some spice to the classes dontcha think? :)


I'e thought the same thing on occasion, there is only one slight problem... all of a sudden every sniper is female and every tank is male, that extra point or whatever of dex or str would mean that only one gender could have optimal combat setup... which may be realistic, but it's not fun.

There is such a thing as too much realism in a game.

Promethius, do you mean less MAX health = less damage is BS? Or do you mean less health(not the total) = less damage is BS?

Heres an example. I have a max of 500 hp. I get shot down to 100 hp. At this point people claim they take less dmg. Where as i disagree ( and can prove my reasoning).

If your max HP is 500, and they've been shooting you in the head, then by the time you reach 100 HP, your head hitbox will be empty, along with your torso. So while they shoot you in the head, they actually deal leg damage. I proved this in a test ages back with Rizzy on his hybrid, using different ammo types in my SpeedGat versus his Holy Heal. With Phosphor and Xray ammo, he could outheal the damage until his HP reached 2/3 and it moved over to chest damage. I couldn't deal chest damage faster than his heal, but I could outdamage at the head level. Switching to explosive ammo, I could then outdamage his heal at chest damage, but when it reached the legs, the heal won again.

EDIT: However if you mean compared to someone who has say 350 HP, then technically they do take less damage since they drop to the chest/leg regions earlier, however it's not directly proportional, i.e. someone with higher HP still takes longer to kill regardless, all other factors constant.

Ahh finaly someone else gets it. I hear that alot that lower max hp = take less dmg. Which as you said its because it switches to the chest / leg region of the hit boxes faster, which is true. (not sure if i'm explaining this correctly but...) Overall Higher hp = better than lower HP no matter how u cut it.

Scikar, theres a bit more to it, that alot of people dont realize. But I'm going to keep quiet about that for as long as I can.

i played a female once... 2 guys tried to lure me into a dark corner with money to sex me. it was kind of weird. i never made a chick char after that.

Im just gonna ignore the thread up to this point and get on topic - My
characters and their personalities are completely seperate from me, hence
playing whatever else it might be is just amusing, thats the core of
roleplaying. It ranges from psychotic sabbat inquisitors in vampire larps to
your average mellow chick in some freeform rpg session, just depends on
what kind of character Im interested in portraying at the time. When I made
Rade I wanted to create a badass chick, before the stupid PAs came in I was
very satisfied with how that was going.



**edit: Altho I gotta admit it also very entertaining, once got a ingame email
saying something like "OMFG u r teh hot, will u suxxor?".

Ok.. i'm rather surprised i never saw the expression "Flaming gay" in the hotter parts of this thread.

I myself am a sexist male pig bastard, and i find myself throwing money on anything that has teeets, even when i'm fully aware that it's like a male friend of mine. I don't know why, something in my genes i figure.

Since there are like i dunno.. maby 10 chicks that play 'cron i'm fuckin greatful for those blokes out there that decide to play female chars since otherwise this game would be completely devoid of teeeeets. Except for PP ofcourse.

Oh, did i mention i like teeeeeeeeets?

but as for ingame, if sumin is a woman ill treat it like a woman, the same as (in fantasy mmo's if sumins a troll ill treat it like a troll), seems fuked up to say, hey are u a man in real life... realy fukes the mood of the game up :P besides so what if its a man in real life, not like ur gona meat up, and if u plan to get a date out the game, ur er,,,,,, one sik crazi indavidual

Most of my characters are female, dunno why I prefer female characters, nicer bottoms I guess.

I don't see any problem with people creating different gender toons to themselves, to me, the toon is just a character in a game nothing more.

Roleplay game after all I suppose - I have one female avatar I chose because I wanted to make a PPU and that kind of goes with being a female char, but since we all wear PA it makes no difference.

Hmmm.... why do I play a female character? Well I suppose its because its interesting to roleplay a different gender to yourself, and I would rather look at a chicks ass in 3rd person, than a guys. Oh and female PEs look awesome.

1. They think playing girls makes them "badass".
2. They are horny men who want to play as a girl for some reason.
3. They have a "different" look and attitude to their charectar.
4. They want to "roleplay" as a female.

With all of them though....I just....feel somewhat...uncomftorable with guys who do that. It just...isn't right. The first ones usually tick me off though, cause they think "Oooh girls are alot more badass than......ah I will just stop their. You get my jist eh.

I have a number of RP personas, both male and female, that currently run up into the middle double digits. Currently however I decided just to stick to one male persona on Neocron.

You can guess on who that is. =P

As to why? Not to get attention, that's for sure...

Besides, the only female Neocron RP persona I ever took seriously was Kenjuten's sister, Kalima....Who isn't really interested in much interaction to begin with.
