The design itself is silly from a logical standpoint though. The only parts of her body protected by armor are her feet, shoulders and chest area.

the last one is more defense than women usually get in videogames at least, it's something.
i dislike the fact that it's pretty much mihile's face on a female body.

For this children's card game let's just stick with covering both males and females up. However, given Angelic Buster's storyline I do vote for having an "exposed" male character that is sexually harassed by some god-like teacher/mentor.

phantom doesn't seem to mind all the attention he gets from the groupies legendary hero and X-/bow master teacher.

:f6: But he's not exposed in the sense AB is (Granted she's also relatively modestly dressed but still).

The whole Phantom storyline is more gentlemanly though just as the way he dresses is gentlemanly. I want something more off the wall like with Angelic Buster with an absurd teacher/mentor harassing a cute little shota character.
Let's just make it all troperiffic and have the character be short and cute and comments are always made about it and it makes the character mad. Like Edward from Fullmetal Alchemist.

You mean as a parody of shota-type characters just like AB is a parody of typical magical girls? If this were any game but Maple I'd approve since you know what else would result from another class appearing.

Compared to what other MMOs give to their female characters. This is exceptional top tier defense!
Can't say I blame them though: practical design can be limiting, I take similar liberties in drawing myself. I just like it cause it looks cute without being overly risque like most MMOs.

i find adhering to supermodel bodies limiting myself. you can always make some insane armor (see  kyrim and it's thousand mods and whatnot) but when trying to showcase the body, you can't cover every space with randomness.
a good example of insane armor:
which ends up looking like this
that's certainly an exxagerated, and no-revealing attire, while still mantaining the female aspect of it.
edit: hey jamesie, if you're going to disagree, at least say why no?

What the fuuuuu. Did not realize the armor around Knights/Generals shoulders was just a detachable ring of metal...
Wow, they look a lot less imposing now that I look at it like that. Looks more like the Soldier class of past games.

It would be much better for them to release the revamped cks first and then focus on further "balancing".
It's already frustrating having to wait weeks/months for an upcoming class update and then realize there's another 6+ months until I actually get to play it in gms.

Glad they got back into it so quickly though. Just hope they don't do it again.

Could I not agree more too. Both are equally annoying to me but new CK artwork is great and I want to see the workings of the new classes even though we know it's more broken than a china piece in an antique shop after a bull was let loose in it.
Also because that balancing patch did basically nothing helpful that couldn't have been added in with the redesigned CK.

I actually think nexon is doing more balancing this patch together with the DW revamp.
Why can't they?

The female Dawn Warrior has about the same amount of protection as a mage, but I'm glad Nexon didn't give her those silly metallic breast cups that female warriors always seem to get. They would actually be dangerous for the women.
