Where in settings do I get Zulia's breasts back?

[Xiaoyen]

I realize there is another thread discussing the censorship of Zulia's breasts. I vaguely remember playing BnS on another country's server and there being a setting option to turn censorship on and off. Surely this option must be somewhere in the NA version because censoring an adult game without an option to see the original content would be ludicrous. I hate Zulia's censored outfit so please tell me where in settings I have to click to get Zulia's breasts back.

[DannyMayCry]

LOL THIS GUY.

[Xiaoyen]

Oh I am not kidding around. I am going to complain loudly and constantly if I cannot get Zulia's original outfit back. Do not ask me for my age on the website and then serve me censored content. 

[Jem]

Your only option is to mod and good luck with that. :^)

[Xiaoyen]

Or to stop pouring money into the game...

[SenLingqi]

I'm supporting this.

 

But we haven't been hit by this censorship yet did we? That would suck because Zulia's outfit will be available at some point to players. However I think the KR's censorship of Zulia is only for her, as a NPC, and hasn't been applied the player outfit. At least I hope, that would be outrageous otherwise.

I did a 4man Asura run today with clanmates. Since it was with clan, we decided to watch the cutscenes since we have not done that in awhile. When I saw what they did to her outfit, I was pissed. Frankly, I am still enraged. If we allow this, what's next? Put Soha in a Hillary pantsuit?

 

The best compromise is to keep both outfits and allow the players to toggle back and forth between censored version and original version.

good luck to try this with a fsk 12 in germany :D

guys and their boobs obsession. Hilarious.

[Xiaoyen]

Nothing wrong with boobies. They feed the world. 

 

Self-righteous people that feel the need to force their prudish values on others, those I can do without.

[Reaper00]

This was a change that was made to every region so they won't be changing it back anytime soon and putting an option to toggle it on and off would defeat the reason that the change was made. From what I heard the change had nothing to do with game age rating.

[JoannaRamira]

i want that bikini top back ;w;

[Lunakitty]

In my opinion she's pretty no matter what she wears and if the outfit was only thing you were playing for go spend time in youtube instead and spam that replay button until it's dead.

Don't care if she was flat-chested Lyn girl or a busty Gon, I want everything of a game to stay as it is intended, be it story (hello, NCWest's translation team), side-quests (once again, NCWest), or outfits.

^THIS!!!! Some of you are thinking I might just be lusty for boobs, but the reality is if they suddenly put huge breasts on Poharan, I'd be just as upset. This is about keeping the game as intended.  You want a censored version to keep certain people happy, fine, but give me a settings option to see the game "as intended."

The story has been changed several times (the new act 4 as we know it and the old version are vastly different), Zaiwei was remodeled completely, most of the blood was removed (to get from 18+ rating to 15+ for esports) and now Zulia got a different outlook which is basically a blue version of her red Warlock clan outfit from act 7. All of this was changed in the original Korean version.

Game systems got reworked as well. Originally there were no upgradable Hongmoon weapons, arena was not equalized and you could use pots. Crit rate and crit damage were based on the same stat etc.

 

So what is "intended"? The way the game was when it was released? Most of us never even saw that...

 

[Zuzu]

Barking up the wrong tree.

Blaming NCwest for something that KR changed is the wrong way to go. It was a global change to all BnS versions.

Go learn some korean and complain to KR rather than getting mad at NCwest for everything.

I understand an MMO is going to be constantly changing, but I am talking about a character's specific look. Changing Zulia's outfit was jarring to me. Here's the thing, if you want Zulia to wear something different later on in the storyline, fine. After all, Soha isn't wearing the same thing in the desert as she is when in Silverfrost. But, to take her look in Asura's dungeon and completely change it, feels like ridiculous censorship and not character growth.

Poharan has a big-bust Chrismas outfit, FYI :D

Lol. I guess she got implants? But see, her getting boobs later on doesn't bother me long as she suddenly doesn't get them in Blackram supply chain. You can change what characters look like as the story progresses, just don't suddenly change their look in a dungeon we've all run dozens if not hundreds of times before.

[Cailleach Voidless]

This game is rated M, dunno why they censor anything. I don't want to see something like Scarlet Blade but this is kinda ridiculous.

So our NCSoft here in the west has no power to adjust the game to Western tastes? Remember the quest where the bandit stole a dress? In another country's version, the bandit stole the dress for himself. In our version, he stole it for his girlfriend. I figured they were tweaking the game here and there depending on region.

Changes are generally done after getting the go from KR since NCwest are only the publishers. They have no right in changing the game without permissions sadly so that change to the Bandit quest may have been approved by KR but this Julia change was due to the fact KR had a bit controversy going on.

NCwest may be able to request permissions to change it back to normal but I have no clue about anything that goes on between a publisher and game creator.

Translate into: "Julia's appearance changes with this patch. The amount of skin is hugely reduced. My guess is it's because of the sexualisation controversy."

The story is changed cuz of the complex it created for the gameplay. Dividing already two-factioned players into four factions (Blue Light, Blue Dark, Red Light and Red Dark) was pretty much a headache, I believed.

 

When it comes to the change of gameplay, it can create different opinions. But at the ultimate end, developers often aim it to benefit players, unless they make a mistake about it.

 

Meanwhile, censoring Zulia's chests must be an important element of gameplay. Or is it just NCSoft backing away from a hostile group of people who believe in the rights of virtual girls.

But see, if they did give in to a hostile group of people, 1) I hope those people are playing and paying for the game and 2) now they've made me hostile, someone playing and paying for the game. Just give me a toggle for Zulia original.

Not mentioning that you have to create two story paths later, if they kept the old one
