Observation: Female playing Female Toons

Lina

I've been enjoying the Alpha testing, but...as a feminine woman, I am really struggling with how my character stands/runs/sprints. I feel extremely brutish. My hubby walked by while I was playing and thought I was on a guy toon (he saw me running).

I've always created my characters as an extension of me, but this is bothersome enough that I feel disconnected. I hoped it was a racial thing, but tried multiple ones and they all behave the same.

I'm wondering if females will have their own physics added at a later time? Or is this going to be it?

MY wife says the same thing!
I'm pretty sure this will be addressed as character development continues.

I have to chalk this up to this being alpha 1 as I have massive issues with the male and female characters, how they look and how they move. I have to believe that this is because everything is placehlder and will completely change by the time live launches. it's good people are talking about this so they know it's an issue.

What sort of changes would you like implemented to resolve this issue? I ask since I don't know what 'brutish' means relative to walking for you.

I haven't had an issue with it personally but would like to understand what's missing

I'm sure that the motion of the characters will be refined as development continues.
