AelixVII Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 So I've noticed over the years of playing this game that there seems to be quite a few issues with character clothing. For instance, many times, I see the release of dancer/slave outfits and the last time I checked men could be both these things. Yet when I try to equip them, I get a restriction error! I don't believe any of my female characters have had this problem. There are of course many other uses for dancer/slave wear and sometimes my characters want to wear them to bed, instead of the nasty, uncomfortable default boxers they have to put up with. As you can see here, my character is clearly upset at having to sleep in them again: http://oi40.tinypic.com/wrfitz.jpg PS I also think there must be a graphical bug with the upcoming 'Magnificent Dancers Armor Set'. As you can see from this image (courtesy of dulfy.net) it looks as though parts of the outfit aren't showing. http://dulfy.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/swtor-magnificant-dancer-armor-set-trackers-bounty-pack.jpg I just feel it would be more magnificent if we got to see more of it, and less of the default female character body. Just a heads-up in case this gets through testing. Please can something be done about this? It's been going on for years now. Thank you for reading.

Tatile Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 I have this problem with my Agent, as well, and a related issue with the Formal wear not being a wearable by my female characters. I've reported a few times since launch, every time being told my ticket has been "escalated" for "review", but no fix has come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostkiwi Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Yep, I've had this problem as well. Please fix. :/ I want to be able to look at my smuggler's lovely legs~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AridFell Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 I've also run into this on several occasions. My Sith warrior is most displeased - it's hard for him to maintain his tan and attractive physique when he can't find any clothes suitable for exercise! More shorts and sleeveless tops for men are needed, stat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kabeone Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 (edited) This can't be working as intended right? There are 22 male companions capable of displaying gear compared to only 11 female. A lot of work was put into updating the male companions to give them actual skin. (For which you have my thanks even though Scourge still wears Mira's jacket the pretty way). It can't be working as intended that there would be two sets of new armor in an armor pack that would be useless to 2/3's of the companions and half the characters. In previous packs the dancer's gear was fairly common. If that is going to be the case again then I can be almost certain that purchasing a hypercrate will result in a lot of stuff that I can't use and if the trends of past crates are an indicator I won't be able to sell them either (until they're embargoed but really dudes). This seems like a mistake. Edited October 15, 2013 by kabeone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cattery Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 (edited) I've had this problem as well! I can make my male characters look bare to the waist, but below that it's clothing from hips to floor. Yet I look at the female characters and they can run around and fight wearing nothing but some ribbons and the Force holding their breasts and butts up, even when flipping through the air in Force Leap. Tell me, am I doing something wrong with my male characters? Oh, and lately I've noticed in the newer choices of pants for male characters that not only are they hips to floor, but the manly bulge at their fronts seem to be flattened. I don't think it's a graphics issue, as I can see breasts just fine. Edited October 15, 2013 by Cattery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bright_ephemera Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Problem confirmed with my Trooper. Squad teambuilding exercises involving dance moves are rendered pointless if we are arbitrarily restricted from wearing matching outfits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lesatho Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 I have encountered this bug as well. It seems to be quite prolific, there's got to be something that can be done about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgani Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 I just don't understand how male dancers are supposed to make any credits without access to the official dancer outfits. This puts these hard working men in an unfortunate position. Some of them have families! Bioware, think of the hungry children. This bug needs to be addressed, asap.

Gwena Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 (edited) I noticed this too. I was understanding of the earlier slave/dancer sets having this issue, and figured, well, I guess what's done is done, and goodness knows there are enough pieces of older gear that have problems. But going forward, I had hoped we would not see the same problem again. It makes no sense at all that male characters can not wear dancer outfits, it's not like they can't dance or have an inability to be sexy. And I can't imagine that Bioware is intentionally being so sexist, especially after all the complaints they got about the previous slave/dancer sets having this issue. Please fix!

Adais Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 I've had this issue, too. I have over 21 characters on my server, and spent countless hundreds of dollars on packs, only to be infuriated when my male characters couldn't wear the sets I was collecting. The same goes for my female lot: I see this awesome preview on a male character, then switch it to one of my female toons, only to find that it will cut out a huge chunk of the armor to get a 'sexy' look. Could we please get some uniformity? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishfino Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Oh, thank the stars I'm not the only one. My poor male Chiss Agent tried to go undercover as a dancer and nearly had his cover blown because of this! This needs to be fix yesterday, BioWare!

xraetastic Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 This is quite the pervasive bug. My female marauder would definitely like to know why so many of the chestpieces designed for her class mysteriously become impractical + unnecessarily revealing as soon as she equips them. Meanwhile, my male assassin is tragically denied the right to fully pursue his one true calling as a cantina dancer. :'( I'm sure there must be some fix for this. Angry sith are a health hazard.

Seripithus Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 I just don't understand how male dancers are supposed to make any credits without access to the official dancer outfits. This puts these hard working men in an unfortunate position. Some of them have families! Bioware, think of the hungry children. This bug needs to be addressed, asap. This is a serious issue. Male dancers have to support their families and those darn capitalistic Hutts have the lowest of wages. No official dancer outfits, no credits! I second this post. Think of the hungry children, Bioware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copperjack Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 I'm also experiencing this bug. It's very disappointing to get an outfit that ends up being unusable for my character. Please fix soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulalume Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 I have been waiting so patiently for this bug to be fixed! It cannot be working as intended, and would definitely add to our enjoyment of the game if it was fixed. I was very disappointed to find that I couldn't dress my male characters in the any of the dancer outfits. One character in particular has been waiting for something that lets him express his inner self. A nice pair of hot pants he could wear around would make him very happy (just don't neuter the bulge). Alas, that might be too much to ask for, so if you could start with fixing the 8 versions of dancer/skimpy gear already in the game to allow male characters/companions to use them, it would be appreciated. In this day and age (and in the Old Republic), there shouldn't be any need for restricted clothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shinyuy Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 You know given that we're in a society that may have fewer gender disparities as the one we live in now, where women as well as men can rule, fight, make decisions and be just about whatever they want to be you'd THINK we'd have more gender equal or gender neutral cloths. Would be nice to allow any gender to wear anything though the covert armor may need to be reworked for the sake of the game keeping its current rating for the safety of kiddies everywhere.

AbsolutGrndZero Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Sure it's Cracked so it's meant to be satirical, but at the same time like many Cracked articles/videos, they are actually somewhat correct... Check out this video about how Star Wars has never been very female friendly. http://www.cracked.com/video_18249_why-star-wars-secretly-terrifying-women.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReiSilver Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 I'm glad I'm not the only one getting this bug! It's been really irritating for me and my friends since launch so I hope it can be fixed soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daewan Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Thank you, OP, for articulating this issue with such care and precision. I, too, as a responsible employer, seek to keep my servants well-dressed for their respective positions. Imagine my horror on logging in one day to find that my Genteel-dressed servants were now plain and bland! I know that you feel my pain on realizing that my servant's waist was no longer correctly adorned with gold befitting his station. I felt utterly ashamed, and changed him into a uniform instead. I was elated to see a new, equally shiny belt in the upcoming pack, but alas, it will not display properly on all my servants! Meanwhile, I have searched high and low for some sort of rings or bracelets to put on my servants. For some reason, the correctly named "Imperial Dancer" gear will not display on all my Imperial dancers! Only two of them display it properly. It's maddening. I don't even need the whole set, I just want the hands. What is wrong with this world where certain gloves cannot be worn by over half the population? This bizarre and arbitrary restriction irks me to no end. Are men somehow undeserving of being adorned and admired? I think they are equally important, and would like to have the opportunity to properly reveal skin on all my companions and characters, not just from the waist up. I am strictly equal opportunity in this respect, and I hope that this absurd restriction is corrected sooner rather than later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karmmh Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Definitely a bug. Please devs, remove the gender restrictions and let us dress our characters how we want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NovemberAllthing Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 (edited) OP has no valid point. It's only okay to enslave females. And all dancers who wear revealing clothing for the gratification of others are females; species irregardless. Until Bioware tells me it's okay for males to be slaves and dancers I will continue to disagree with you on this point. As it stands it's only okay to enslave and bedazzle girls. :| Edited October 16, 2013 by NovemberAllthing typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sereneScientist Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 I'm so glad other people are getting this too! I have a lot of faith in Bioware and I'd like to have faith in EA too, I mean, they can't possibly be insinuating that only females are able to be hypersexualised slaves right? We have a male dancer in the Cartel Bazaar cantina, so we have to assume that they're striving for at least some form of gender equality with the whole sexy dancer slave thing. It just seems like a gross oversight bug to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AelixVII Posted October 16, 2013 Author Share Posted October 16, 2013 (edited) Girls can wear jeans And cut their hair short Wear shirts and boots Because it's ok to be a boy But for a boy to look like a girl is degrading Because you think being a girl is degrading But secretly... You'd love to know what it's like Wouldn't you? - Madonna, Guy Sigsworth (What it feels like for a girl) So lets get this shizz implemented, we know it's possible because of the way gear magically 'morphs' to suit the body type/gender. Can't be down to technical difficulties, so why the delay, but mostly... Why the silence? Edited October 16, 2013 by AelixVII Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
