    Isn't there a thread at least 50+ pages long about this one? That can be seen as a hint there, Devs....

    Misogynistic women perhaps?

    Does that open your eyes? Those are all valid complaints I could be making daily, HOURLY if I so chose, filling up support ticket after support ticket. If I was a prude brown noser. But I'm not. I'm a chillax'd fem-gamer who likes to extend her claws for issues that really matter.
    Ditto....I decided to make a list a while back in response to the whole "someone might get offended" comment about female pets, and it's really quite long (and a lot of them have been mentioned in this thread by players other than myself)

    Trust us ladies, Devs, we're tired of the ''equality'' standoff. Hopefully David's little experiment about that gave you some insight that you'll use wisely. This is an issue that's been growing and if you do a search on it there's tons of threads requesting it.

    IT is the MASS MAJORITY, not just the boards, but Gamers across the ENTIRE PLAYING GRID. Do your own field research (probably have), ALL servers, nearly all Players want a female option to MM's.
    And with the boards opening up to all players, the voicing will most likely become even louder.

    If worse comes to absolute worse and the Marketing/Company is adamant about this decision then why not open up pigg modifications on the user side only for MM's. Maybe give us the option to ''apply'' a model we want to see but no one else does.
    If we could remove the part about it from the EULA as well if this became a possibility.

    Hopefully you take this thread into consideration, really soon, as in upcoming releases soon.
    You can see, Devs, that there are others who want this as well. I'm not the only one who's not going to let this subject drop!

    P.S
    Did I forget to mention I'm offended.....
    (lol)
    PS:
    I'm offended that they don't think we are either A) mature enough or B) possess the functioning brains required to understand the basic rules and player etiquette!

    Curry and raisin cous cous
  5. Please let's not let this thread degrade into arguing....

    I know that there was mention of server load issues with the MM pets, as well as with the vanity pets. And that was their main point for the total customization. If it's true or not, I don't know, but that was the answer they gave at the Pummit.

    As for the needing of proof that the desire for Female pets, or even customization of pets is out there, I think that the numerous threads, as well as the panel jacking that happened at the Pummit, were pretty good hints....but unfortunately they keep falling behind certain excuses, and until they stop using them, and either provide a legit reason, or even a "we don't want to spend the time to do it", I am going to keep at them, and hopefully the rest of the people who responded to this thread will as well.
  6. That's about how big the shepherd is as well, looks cool though!

    I'm not opposed to the idea, personally (To make a pun about sexism I'd note the number of female MM PCs who use Thugs/Mercs and give them names or have a bio denoting how the pets are people they use/abuse! ) but my understanding was that the devs had a fairly understandable reason for not having it.

    At least not yet.
    That explanation was used for total pet customization, like in terms of we make each one special like we make our own characters. At the pummit they basically pulled the "ZOMG SEXISM" explanation for why there's no female options at all.
  9. I have a character on Exalted who I logged in to, they had no powers and were effectively lvl 0....and all her costumes were messed up. And by messed up I mean the following:
    Female Head
    Male Torso
    DEAR GOD WHAT ARE THOSE? Hands
    Female Legs
    Male Boots

    Oh yeah, and this is viewable by everyone, not just me....and even when I change this costume to a normal one, it still keeps coming back...
  10. I was in a PUG with my scrapper, Dr. Kalen Herne, and the tank had accidently bitten off more than it could chew. I decided to try out Provoke, which I'd just respected into my toon, and to my amazement it pulled off all the extra mobs, which allowed the rest of the group to be able to lay the smackdown on them.

    Course my epic moment was short lived, as I quickly turned around and began running around like I was on fire with a large group of angry mobs following me.

    ...Then again, this sadly fits Kalen's concept. As a scientist and as someone who regenerates faster than most people (WP scrapper), his dad and the rest of his family use him to test out their inventions...which leads to the "YES! It worked!"........."CRAP!"*RUN* moments quite often

If that's a problem then simply turn off the option for pets to do those emotes. Even better, forget about the 6 juveniles that MIGHT abuse the system and just deal with problems as they arise. We don't disable PMs because SOME players use it for ERP do we?
    Exactly! But they seem to forget about that little fact, or the fact that PLAYERS use the emotes on NON-MM ATs when they bring up that explanation.

    Yes, because that doesn't already happen now with the male henchies. Next excuse please.

    Let's remember something here....
    MOST players have functioning brains and know that what the Devs are claiming would happen (using emotes to ERP or doing other things that violate both the EULA and the T for TEEN rating) would get them banned.
    The small percentage that would abuse the abilities are already doing it, and nothing would change if they (the Devs) allowed female minions.

  16. *Points to the thread in her sig* That right there is what I want for customization.
  17. My highest MM is currently a Demon/Pain, and I LOVE playing him.

    I also have a lvl 40something Robots/FF, a 22 Thugs/Traps, and a 14 Zombies/Time
  18. On some males, both Steampunk Vests clip massively with their necks, to the point where it looks like a large chunk of the collar is missing. This clipping can be seen from all angles, not just a single one.
  19. Ok....gonna try a logical approach here...someone get the straight jacket ready.

    Statesman married Monica, Recluse's sister.
    The two had Alexis, who is Recluse's niece.
    Technically since Statesman didn't rush out to save Alexis, and instead had us heroes and Manticore try to save her, this could be seen by Recluse as a weakness (yet another according to him) and in his eyes that Statesman "let" Alexis die.
    Even though Recluse is technically all evil and according to the first book "Web of Arachnos" he disowns his sister, Monica, because she didn't choose to side with him, he still has the family pride portion of himself. This could be seen in a twisted way of Statesman trying to somehow destroy what's left of the Richter Family genepool, and so he decides once and for all to take out Statesman.
    ALSO, because Statesman has been acting "weak" by "running away" after Alexis' death, the well could see him as weak and take away some of his powers, making him less powerful than Recluse, who is always questing for power, thus finally giving Recluse the needed edge.
  20. Dies of old age while waiting in line to ride on Space Mountain at Disneyland.
  21. When I'm not on CoX I'm a freelance writer (Links to my first two books are in my sig) as well as a full time student (ECE) and a mother of 3 girls (2 of which play CoX with us).

    As for what I look like, those who haven't seen my FB page, here's a picture of me and Joyrock at Halloween.



    Name: Megan
    Age: 29
    Former Occupation: Customer Service Rep for BCBS
    Current Occupation: Freelance Writer
    Born: Oregon
    Live in: Oregon
    Ethnicity: Mutt (mostly English and German)
    Gametime: CoX, DCUO (if I feel the need to smash the crap out of stuff and not have to think), various MUDS, Tabletop RPGs
    Current CoX Projects: SJ/WP stalker is my next 50 goal
    Servers: Champion and Exalted
  22. Running someone to the ER because they refused to go to the doctor during the day.
  23. They need to bring out female minions in the next issue....
  24. *Covers her stalker's ears* No! No it can't be true! I disbelieve!


    In all seriousness, maybe I'm coming in when stalkers had already been "nerfed" as I've seen a few people say, but I personally really like my two stalkers. Granted they're a lot slower to level than say, my scrapper or my blaster, but I enjoy also being able to delve into my sadistic side from time to time and hide out while people die because they went "Let's go this way! Ignore the stalker who already knows where to go!"

    EDIT: I took down a Zeus Titan alone today on my lvl 22 stalker (SJ/WP) *happy clap*
