Class gender locks still? This is not the way
" Lmao? You didn't think so? I happen to code real-time back ends for electrical control systems, did animate some models with the original Direct3D back in the the day, and am currently playing with sprite textures in Godot for non-action RPG-aide mapping - so, familiar territory, and nothing scary there (although great kudos to GGG for the performant real-time execution of dynamic stat recalculation during combat). That, my experience over a decade with large software projects, and noting that my monk has made only a handful of unique comments over 90 levels, tells me that GGG could easily get their voice actors to voice gender equivalents across the classes, and incorporate them. In the grand scheme of a project like this, and assuming a clean underlying architecture, I promise you this is barely a blip on the radar. Still, nice how defensive fans are of GGGs work. Keep in mind that it's a *suggestion*, possibly useful when they're hoping to expend the player base beyond the set of current PoE 1 players who long ago accepted the terms of those design choices. Your talking new players who're used to up front character generation - not just selection. A huge number of RPG games basically let you choose between 2 actual characters (typically a male and a female store line), but give personalization options on top of that. I can tell you that the avatar sprite set combinations across different gear sets is far beyond what a gendor option would cost (nothing for the monk, who's androgenous enough anyway at these resolutions. If it's simply rejected by GGG, that's fine, but people who pop up pretending to know how much effort it would take as a reason to reject it aren't helpful. |

As a woman I dislike a lot playing male characters. i would love to see male and female options.
I dislike DEI and Woke and for the same reason I dont feel nice playing male characters so I never get to play merc monk or warrior Last edited by Hanami#0044 on Feb 1, 2025, 9:43:45 AM

ggg cant update poe 1, has a hard time keeping up with poe 2 developpement but this dude ask for dual gender class.
some people know how to set priorities. at least it proves that we were right and they were wrong. ggg has a lot more shit to do than cater to those 3 people and their free 2 play accounts Last edited by SerialF#4835 on Feb 1, 2025, 9:46:16 AM

" I dislike anime games, but I'm not bitching to the Genshin devs to add realistic models to their game. Just play something else. |

" That's right! Restricting the character's gender has greatly limited my desire to buy skins! |
|
" What part from my post is bitching? |
|
" Characters are not talking a lot so that should be fine “The bird of Hermes is my name, eating my wings to make me tame.”

Maybe it would be nice.. but seriously.. they have way more important stuff already in their backlog to fix first before even thinking on that.

Because the answer is obvious, rigging animations and models would be thrice as intensive than it currently is.

" The importance is being placed on "their own unique story" not yours of which you can craft and shape how you like. The fact this is so important to you is actually eye opening. You are choosing to play the role of a story character in a video game, if you don't like an aspect of who that character is then choose a different one. The stats/starting location etc should be inconsequential to you. Make Things For Smile!
