Release Notes: July 30 2009

[JM Ohara]

Goin down Sven's road, this is the third male body type, both old and new.

This is Doc Hardy, made just 2 days before the body type changes.




The create screen version of the same body made today.




The in game look of the same new body.



Now maybe it's just me but I see clear differences between Doc and the new version of his body. First off, Doc has muscles, the new one is just kinda marshmellowy to me. Or maybe I mean thinner. I dunno, he just doesn't look built like Doc does. His legs are way bigger to me too. And the new guy most decidedly has more junk in the trunk if ya get my drift. It just looks wrong to me.

Lest you think it's just the guys, I present Trynity.

Made about a week before the change, my girl Trynity.



The new create screen version of that body. (I refuse to think of the new body in any way related to my girl.)



In game, or jail anyway of the same new body.




Yes, the girls are all the exact same third body. You can see here the very clear differences between Trynity and the new girl. The new girl is very hippy. You can also clearly see that the new girl does indeed have triangular parts as referred to in several previous posts. Like the guy body the new girl also has way more junk in the trunk.

I don't care which is more real. I like Trynity's body the way it is. I've gotten on board with Zep though. The new bodies shouldn't have replaced the old, just been added to the options. Why should there be only 5 to pick from any how?

Well anyway the point of this was to illustrate the differences in the body types between the old and new body types that I have as my own pirates. I'm not making anyone else's judgments, but I did want to show that there are major differences, at least with the girls. Better or worse, that's up to you.

This is what I refer to as the midwest build, people in general are stockier throughout. West coasters who go to the gym every day, look like the old strong pirate model.

Apparently pirates who likely lived on meager amounts of food on ships for weeks/months at a time, had problems with scurvy and other issues caused by diet deficiencies had no problem keeping meat on their bones, gotta love realism. </sarcasm>

ok yea i see it now...CHUNKY!!!!

[swashbuckler II]

Im sure they are not tied in with each other, its just a coensidence or something,
Edit: Actually, All the status effects, Not just groggy (like stun, anything else) Got their dirrection changed

One thing thats bugging me tho, When you TP, it sounds ALOT like the kraken.

Revive is hilarious. I'm really lovin that. But the new bodies. Ugh! People do not look like that! Look at them from the side too and you'll see what I mean. The guys are all but one wide side to side but flat front to back. Where in the world are the muscular pirates? Come on D! Real pirates would have been in top shape from sailing, slinging swords, and all the other piratey things they do for a workout. Methinks skinny little stick pirates and twinkie eatin pirates were rare but that's what we get to pick from? No more jock mold with the actual pirate muscles? No more refrigerator size guys with the itty bitty heads? Well drat!

And the girls... *sigh... My favorite girl body is gone. I'm sorry but all women do NOT have huge hips D! There's not a good lookin girl in the bunch now. What, are only funny lookin girls pirates?

Makes me very glad I made my last guy pirate just 2 days before the change. My current pirates are permanant. No deletes, not happening. I like my old body team. So me, I'm headin to the Faithful Bride to raise a toast to the end of the era of good lookin pirates! Anyone who wants to is welcome to join me.

I really dunno why people are complaining about the body types I don't see a diffrence...
