A weight option in character creation?

[Crillam]

Sure, but lets also add height option! Different heights, dwarfs included! And what about hunchbacks? They got feelings too! Add crippled models, mentally disabled! This is the key to restoring WoW glory!

Really, really dumb idea....

Haha, damn that made my day.

More customization is a good thing, making weight part of it is not. I'd totally support a weight system where you eat a lot and sit down all the time you gain weight, but moving/fighting would burn it fast and being fat would make you a worse fighter. If you're in a fight for 10~ mins or so in plate and you weigh over 250ish you should die from a heart attack or something and not be able to be rezzed in the fight. :')

I too am fat, but this sounds more fun than a slider

[Barnabas]

4 pages of fat shaming. What a great thread!

You might want to change your tone. I already said that my wife is a journalist. The Press = Power.

She just opened a support ticket.

Then tell her to use her Press Power to get Blizzard to add the fat option then, because obviously you are not getting any support here.

PS. if anything we are doing her a favour, we are giving her something to cry write about.

[Darththeo]

Obviously, in the OP's case, it does. And to answer your question, no I do not believe that whatsoever. As for my argument making no sense, it was either that or an infraction, I chose the safer option.

Well, at least you are honest.

If his wife wants to play a game with weight options, there are other MMOs that allow it.

I am not afraid of the press.

In my honest opinion, this would be so wrong in so many levels because it honestly wouldn't look good on heroes to look fat or any similar since we're supposed to be heroes of Azeroth, pandarens are obviously an exception. I'd love to have more customization opinions though since we haven't many of them, would be cool with more hair styles and especially hair colours!

Nice troll post. And if youre ugly irl why would you choose to be ugly again in a video game? stupid as hell

To show that you can still be a hero even if you are ugly of course!!!!

Being fat and be a hero on the other hand..... Maybe when the journey starts, by the time you have been a world saving hero for years I don't think you would be fat anymore.

[Super Kami Dende]

Tell your wife to use the Characters as inspiration to do something about her weight.

Life is hard sometimes with all the privileged haters around. But I know that my wife has supporters. I'm going to start a campaign tomorrow in Twitter/Instagram/reddit using #plussizedvarian. Feel free to join if you're not a coward.

There is nothing to be afraid of to join some silly online campaign, therefore there is nothing to be coward about it.

More like we think it is a retarded idea, and knowing your wife is a journalist, we are obviously not coward enough to suddenly feel scared and start supporting her.

In the wake of the legion return - the one thing we need to be concerned about is ensuring our characters can be overweight to ensure our success.

[Zantos]

It's realistic in Azeroth. But they haven't told us that people of Azeroth can't get plus sized. It would be fair if plus sized characters would appear in the game. Why not make Varian plus sized for example? He's just sitting there on his throne and doing paper work. Plus sized people need encouragement.

And yeah you do a lot of traveling in the game but some caster specs should be allowed to be plus sized at least. Mages for example.

No hes not. He leads the armies into battle. Anyone who takes part in azeroth just realistically wouldn't be overweight. They run constantly, fight, train, battle invading armies and much more. It is unrealistic to believe that Any of them would have Any extra weight considering what they do on a daily basis.

[Grym]

Oh by the way, I can be kind if I wanted to, I have already though of another hash tag for your campaign:

#FatLivesMatter

No need to thank me for it, but fuck no I am not joining because I still think it is a fucking retarded idea.

[jellmoo]

I think the problem is that not every race has a sub-race option.

Of course they do!

Orcs: Mag'har, Fel Orcs, Pale Orcs?
Trolls: There's like, 117 different Troll types
Tauren: Taunka, Yaugnol
Forsaken: Um... I dunno... Elf Forsaken? Maybe like, ghouls or something...
Goblins: Gilgoblin... Hobgoblins, I guess...

Humans: Vyrkul
Night Elves: Nightborne
Dwarves: Dark Iron, Wildhammer, Earthen
Gnomes: Leper Gnomes, Mechagnomes
Worgen: Shaved Worgen

Pandaren: Furbolg? Guardian Druids? Really, really, really fat Pandaren?

Okay, maybe not all the races...

[Zantos]

Side note: My wife is a journalist in our local newspaper. I don't think Blizzard wants to offend her.

Side note: They don't care about some nobody in some no name town being mad.

[Paperfox]

Not everybody fell into a cauldron of magic potion when they were a baby!

I'm okay with things as they are given this is a computer game set in a fantasy world(s) that has a fairly low level of realism.

[Grym]

Don't they need to kill off all the heros anyway so that you can get their weapons?

Maybe Varian can get fat and die of diabetes.
