Can we stop doing that to female outfits in BDO?

Love the new class, but unlike 99% of other outfits in the game for whatever reason there's absolutely no option to make it look sexy / revealing. Can we stop doing that? Did corsair set a trend or something, Pearl Abyss? At least the Corsair outfit could remove the undershirt for cleavage, here you can just expose the full armor beneath. It looks completely out of place in BDO where most people (if not all) expect sexy / revealing outfits on the female characters. I really hope the following outfits look better.

If you're interesting in releasing fully covered up, western style outfits, at the very least make sure every outfit has 2 options - one covered up, one revealing. I think that's p fair all things considered, if you MUST do this at all.

Just my 2 cent. This is a KMMO. When I log into a KMMO I expect to see KMMO aesthetics, not western ones - and that involves sexualization and beauty.

I know Japan went nuts with political correctness and now japanese companies have to have their own censorship division when creating games so that it appeals to western audiences which is strange since americans are known to not be modest and proud of it. With that said, I don't know if Korea has videogame obscenity laws now or not.

Political correctness = 0.00001% of the population cares about it but they act like they are the 99% because internet and politicians has that kind of power.

I honestly don't really care either way how they decorate characters so much (as long as it looks nice) but I do care about how censorship is a plague and ruining the entertainment industry. Soon we'll be stuck with 12 government approved hair styles and 3 outfits IRL to wear if we're not careful (like north korea). It's a slippery slope.

I agree and the only thing I can say is don't buy the outfits, it's the only language they understand

I have my doubts on korea having a sudden censorship law as far as games goes. Wasn't too long ago lahns got access to the checkmate outfit and that's anything but modest.

Most of PA's money comes from croning the outfits. And it doesn't matter how the outfits look, they give the same amount of cronstones.

Yeah if you could not P2W, and they would actually need to put in effort into the outfits, you would see much more slutty/fanservice outfits, but that is not the case.

For all I know many outfit collectors are waiting for non-sexy outfits to be released just like me, new classes dont even have the full armored all classe sets that old female classes have.

Nova premium outfit has suspended cloth ...

nova classic the only reserved outfit has a baren back

nova imperium... lets not talk about it

Guardian Mueberus an underboob

If you dont go for vediras/conquistador or a gilly all are revealing.

When it comes to Valk it has a perfect aresenal of outfits to choose from but again old class

Just look at lahn, from the get go the quest outfit shows your entire leg waist down.

And thus people get tired of it, cool, new and different is what sells, nova imperium almost had it but well...

So nah we dont need sexy options in my opinion but rather more cool outfits that define a class character.

Outfit collectors don't care, they get all the outfits, that's literately why they are called collectors...

I really doubt there are many people looking forward to covered up outfits in BDO, I'm sorry. I know dozens of men who play and they're only interested in the slut ones. Same goes for the few girls I know playing it, too - they're actually even more vocal about it. Most of them outright refuse to play Drakania because of how crap she looks atm. Overall, if you are interested in covered up armor BDO isn't the game for you, nor is any Korean MMO. It's madness to try and steer it in the direction of WoW or ESO or some of that crap.

And yes, BDO's staple and most KMMOs staple is sexy outfits for the women, so yes, we don't need COVERED UP ONES, we need an already well-established and solidified trend to not buckle under the demands of a few questionable individuals who probably shouldn't be playing BDO in the first place if oversexualization isn't their thing. Please don't try and make the game cater to your "tastes", let's call them as such, BDO has always been something entirely else. If YOU want covered up outfits, the solution is extremely simple, they should do what they did with Corsair, a PROPER toggle which puts on / removes her undershirt to hide / show her breasts. At the moment Drakania has only, and only, the fully covered up armor - hence there is no choice and nothing to pick from.

And that's the problem, the problem occurs when player choice is taken away in favor of loud minorities of players.

BDO is one of the last bastions (the last probably tbh)0 which didn't cater to outraged creatures and puritans, Lost Ark west already bit the dust because of Amazon and exactly the reasoning of censorship (together with all other issues the west release has, of course). This need to be nipped in the bud before it escalates.

PA, please reconsider whatever this is going forward, because it won't end well as far as support for BDO goes - and outfits are your main income, we all know it. Please don't ruin what you have anymore than you already have through other bad decisions. Either stay true to the aesthetics and design of the game, or give us an OPTION (!) of what to wear. Do not take this away with Drakania and future female classes.

There is an old saying, "When in Rome, do as the Romans do." and who doesn't love a toga party?!

Currently this game is NOT being sold to the players, they are giving out free basic accounts.  This means more female underwear will be sold.  There is a lot of female undies in the Pearl Store.  They know their audience very well.  If you don't buy the "sexy" outfits, they wouldn't be making them.  I don't see her as being too sexy, from what I witnessed in game today, I thought most were very frumpy basic outfits.  Here is Venomcraft in her cultist wardrobe, she got thrown out.

My freinds from Yemen would tell me this is too sexy.  You will normally see her running about Heidel in these everyday clothes.

She did get this free fashsion set, where you can see her tatoo, but I don't find this overtly sexy.  Actually I would like to fit into that dress, but no amount of dieting, this late in my life, is going to change that factor.

My friends who are German Mennonites would have issues with anything other than, a dark blue or black dress and a white head bonnet.  So maybe you want to play the Amish version of BDO... oh wait, they believe in electric in the home is the devil's plaything.  I also have friends I trade with who are Amish, nice people, but not much "fun".

Have fun!
