I'm sorry but this does not look like the Assassin we are getting

Assassins need to be able to move quickly and lithely, for those who need to see a chest, just imagine that their boobs are strapped down (for the afore-mentioned ease of movements). Or imagine they are like the Greek Amazons and they cut one off to allow for great archery capabilities.

Okay I'm a girl and I'm disgusted by the way the assassin looks.. I had made one and deleted her because she looked like a boy pretending to be a girl. I'm not saying give her big boobs and lots of curves, just give her some freaking hips! Even ATHLETIC girls have hips!!!!!! She looks extremely anorexic and its freaky. Not to mention she doesnt look athletic, wouldnt she have muscles or something showing a bit???

Unless on heavy Bull Steroids, females don't always show muscle mass like men. Though assassin is unrealistic it is none the less a character not a person.
~Also take note: Assassins did not focus on strength, they were/are lean mobile and swift killers. It is therefore more important to be small and slick than to be bulky and muscular.

Small and swift is fine but geeze the whole point of gender is for one to be male and one to be female.... and if the female looks like a stick, theres hardly any difference between the male and female appearance. I was just saying give her some hips, I could care less about the muscles
The female assassin I saw looked extremely asexual... so what would be the point of having 2 genders when one would probably suffice with that look???

i hate getting into this arguement so i will just say a few things.
Imagine looking like that all your life.
Now imagine a video game you love that actually makes an character class you can relate to physically.
Now imagine all the hateful things you hear when people talk about said character class. The same things you hear all the time about yourself.
Now imagine that you realize thats how a lot of people are and become depressed over the state of humanity as a whole.
I forgive you jerks :P

Lyra, from that, I take it you're not all that old? Only in the way that a woman over a certain age looks unmistakably like a woman, no matter how skinny/small boobed. Of course, I might be way off too.. and this is not meant as an insult. I sorta get why assassins are the way they are now, so thanks for your post.
Oh, and a natural way of increasing boobie size is to get pregnant *knows from experience* and I prefer my small ones.

Just do what I did: scale the female assassin down to its smallest size. Doesn't look so bad after that. She's got a six pack. Maybe I was looking too closely...
I'm still making a female assassin, and I dig the new dance. To all the haters, if this is what you choose to lament over considering the source, you all need to get out a little bit. There are greater tragedies in the world.

Uhh DUH!
Flat stickfigure models= lower poly count! :P
Yea the assassins look quite.. bad. Even warrior females could use more muscle definition. Plus most gymnasts have very defined strong legs, and considering an assassin would be quick and agile should be similar. The 6 pack looks a little cartoony. But I agree overall that the assassin base models could use some reworking.

Im wondering when, during the design stage did that in game art and the high-res art diverge.
I guess we blame anet's design directors.
OFF WITH THEIR HEADS XD i'll join you with my plus nine against ogres, i'm sure it'll help somewhere

But I agree overall that the assassin base models could use some reworking. ARTISTIC gymnasts have bulky legs, or perhaps rather a lot do, but not all. Svetlana Khorkina did not, and she was a great artistic gymnast. Rhythmic gymnasts, on the other hand, are generally just as strong but with a different build and do not have the heavy leg set.
The six pack is actually quite realistic in relation to the general "realism" of the game. Girls do not get the same sort of definition that guys do.
My main gripe with the female assassin is lack of upper body bulk, NOT bust but general muscle development in the upperbody. Even without doing pushups or special upperbody workouts, general exercise tones and develops the muscles in the shoulders and upper back. IMHO their shoulders and arms are too narrow/skinny for anyone who has presumably gone through heavy, life-long physical training regime.
I don't like a lot of the hair options either but that is just personal taste.
I certainly think that Anet should NOT increase the bust, roundness/curves of the assassin. Maybe for once male players might actually play male characters.

its not the boob issue its why the hell anet would promote anorexia.

I totally agree. I know this sounds shallow but it really pains me to be looking at the female assassin.

being skinny does not equate to being anorexic.
This is a fallacy in logic.
Please excuse the assasin for having a high basal metabolic rate, an exercise regime and the lifestyle of a physical fighter for burning off all the fat that men find so attractive.

Skinny doesnt equate to being anorexic - I'll agree to that, considering that I'm 5'6 and until recently, never went above 105 and people thought I was anorexic. That always pains me, but I however, do not work out and am very pale - thats just my coloring. Its different for the assasin.
You may think "yay, a char that looks like me!" but here I'm thinking "WOW, that girl needs SOMETHING on her bones!" Yeah, its just a game but as someone said, she needs at LEAST some upper body definition or something, to look like a girl. Its fine if they don't make it so the girl looks so girly and great that the guys want to play her but at least make it possible that she WONT look like the men when the game comes out?? That's all anyone here is saying really.

I think the assassin could definitely benefit in a little more bacon in her diet.
As it is, i find the in game Assasin beautiful and i know im not the only one XD

You gotta remember, most of the people we're argruing with here are most likely kids, so they don't know the various sizes women come in. And if there are men here who don't know what an athletic look is, well, I really don't have anything to say there.
I myself do prefer the athletic look of the female assassin. That's why I plan on making one once I get my copy of Factions. Anet isn't promoting anorexia in our young female players. If anyone here honestly thinks that, then damn, you need a head check.
I do agree that the base model could use some more upper body definition, and maybe a little muscle added to the hind area could benefit the look, but please, stop making this out to be some kind of social issue.
And the dance still rocks.

i'm just gonna make a male assassin :0
but yea, i think the female assassins look way too skinny, but then again, i guess it's natural if you want to do those nifty spin flip jump daggerstab moves.

What you see probably took weeks to draw, and if it is 3d, it took a while to render. Imagine having to rig something like that for normal gameplay. Oy.
And I know that this is a render and not ingame screen model and have you seen the graphics of Oblivion!!

Have you seen how nasty they look.
==================================== I have a mix of male and female characters, I picked them because I liked the way they look does not matter on their gender. From the first day I saw and played GW (first ever preview at E3 2004) I knew that my mesmer will be female and my warrior will be male. At the end its a matter of preference but as I can see in this thread and the countless others here and on other forums, lots of people do not like how the assassins look. My 2 cents. Fates

I think the legs are the real problem, for both male and female assassin.
Nothing wrong with a gymnast slim build, but the legs look really unhealthy.
Carinae
I like the assassain as she is, but I think the poly-model itself is too narrow right behind the knees.
I'm not complaining that she's too thin for my taste, I'm saying her legs can't support the weight because of the narrowing behind her knee. They could just *slightly* tweak that part and she's perfect. I consider this more of a bug/unfinished model than a complaint abou her weight.
nimloth32
butbutbut, that assassin in the pic got nice boobs..=D..
Big_Iron
Sorry, but I'm with the rest of the crowd. Too skinny. I like athlectic builds and the female assassin doen't look athletic. Maybe like a marathon runner, but they're a small percentage of female athletes. Look at Mia Hamm, Brandi Chastain,and Maria Sharapova...to name a few. They are all very athlectic and not built like that.
Rebel Dragon
i agree she looks likes she has anorexia
the cover model of gw (nika) looks alot better.. athletic.. but not anorexic nika has atleast some fat around her body and breast and nice muscles.. this assasin that we get only has muscles...

But i am not unhealthy looking. She just looks too narrow. Yes, im aware of the shapes and sizes women come in, im not a moron. Im aware the assassin is supposed to be ultra athletic and flexible...but she honestly doenst look like she could even support her own weight.  im not asking for them to make her look like the curvy rit(which is goregeous, btw)...but she needs more muscle definition or something.I agree with you that this is not a social issue...the assassin is not going to make me become anorexic...  my 2cents.

-finds a largish dictionary-
-checks its weight...- Hmm... -replaces it- -finds a hardcover Tom Clancy novel- MUCH heavier. ^_^ -procedes to bludgeon the various chauvinists haunting the thread- ...now then. With that out of the way... what was I doing...? Oh, right. 'kay, first off, the assassin model design might not have been final. They might have released a lower-quality varation to ensure that more people could play capably. OR, they might have known that there would be more assassins in Cantha than potential targets, and lowered the quality to compensate. 'kay, next up, at the guys- Assassins aren't supposed to be seen. Does it -matter- that they don't quite look like a Victoria's Secret ad? And, at the girls- Yes, she's too skinny and doesn't even look capable of LIFTING those daggers, to me... much less the Katanas that people are going to put on their almighty A/Ws... ... I came into this thread mad, with the intent of chewing someone or something out. But now I'm just laughing. I'll slink off now. ^_^ Tufty

I say let people choose body types too! Like in Sims or some playstation games! Although I can imagine that could lead to an influx of oddly proportioned females in the game!!! I personally tried to model my warrior on me but I'd have to start bench pressing cars to get a chest like that. Still it'd be nice to have more of a likeness (I wanna get my beer belly in the game)
