    It's not snobbery.

    Classic avatars are dead.

    They have no on going support or development and haven't for years. LL replaced them with off the peg starter avatars years ago and are about to replace those with the new NUX avatar bodies. The only reason classic avatars will continue to exist at all is to support legacy content, aka, novelty under the guise of "history".

     

    So that all said, if you chose a classic avatar, be under no illusion that it is a choice and people will have opinions on that. By wearing a classic avatar you are (perhaps inadvertently) culturally and socially choosing to align your avatar with disposable griefers and trolls. Rejecting assistance to update your avatar (at no cost) makes the choice crystal clear in the wider SL cultural context. No one has the time or energy to unpick your precise motivations. 

    If you want to speed run becoming a social pariah, doggedly sticking with a classic avatar with all the attached cultural baggage, is absolutely how you do that.

    You're that guy. On purpose. Expect to be treated as such.

    This is a bit harsh.. will that assistance also include said snob help pay for the body, the clothes, the skin and any skin enhancements?? Because if not then maybe they should keep their opinions to themselves. I know if someone was trying to be 'helpful' with their 'suggestions' I would like them to be helpful paying for it too.

  2. I guess I am an av snob too, however I've never even considered being rude or pushing my own ideas and 'looks' onto others.. 

    You'll find some people in sl won't interact with you if you stay classic.. that's just..a fact.. people like to feel elite and superior..  just like in real life like buying a fancier house or car.. and in real life you wouldn't feel the pressure to keep up with them .. so don't think you should feel pressured in second life either..

    I have that sort of style for my avatar lately. For skins you could check out Nar Mattaru, but I am currently wearing the Selene Skin by Nuve which is available at this round of the Anthem event. Lelutka head, obviously. Suicidal Unborn is really good for makeup, and for eyes too. Skoll is definitely worth checking out for makeup layers. Check out Conviction too. AviGlam has some good eyes at this round of Salem. I believe the hair in the right of that photo is Dice by Stealthic.

    Those definitely are the Swallow Guaged ears. I don't know where those facial piercings come from but they are great, maybe get in touch with the person who made the ad and ask them, then let us know here!

    thankyou hon, this was a big help.. 

     

    thanks to others as well, the helpful tips were great ❤️

  4. Hey all

    Im trying to find hoodies for women .. i dont want crop stuff.. normal hoodies for women.. also maybe black jeans? .. i know it may seem like im asking for real basic stuff but i feel so swamped in the "skanky" clothes.. i just want normal casual wear lol.. laid back long sleeve everyday stuff.. comfortable stuff.. i hope im making sense. I own maitreya .. i do have some black sweaters from Riot.. but since getting reborn i kinda wanna get some new stuff for that body.. black friday will be lit for shopping .. so i want some places to go when that happens.. amd yes i know blueberry and scandal and addams.. but they dont really have what im after.. too girly..for what im after.. 

     

    Thankyou!!

    In a virtual world where you can be anything, you refuse to talk to anyone not human... How boring. And more than a bit xenophobic. 

    Its my second life? .. if people wanna be cats or dogs or unicorns..thats cool...even on the same inclusive sims..thats cool..but theres no reason some of us should be expected to get along or talk.. name call me if you want..call it whatever phobia you want.. but it doesnt change the fact we dont have to chat and hang out together..

    Personally I think I like Ebody slightly more. Legacy still has superior hip shape for my taste(i'm not a fan of super round hips. I like a little angle), but it's slider weights lack in the legs department. You can make everything big but the legs stay just..not. Legacy's company has a foul history(they try and claim they're not the same people, but they do the exact same crap, so yeah, no). I HATE the server-sided HUD and it's too risky knowing it can go down at any time. Not to mention how often the darn thing breaks.

    I still like the Legacy body, but they don't have my loyalty. And they never will.

    I may go back to using it more again if they A. deal with the render weight issue. It hurts when a lot of them are in the room. B. Get rid of the freaking server-using HUD. It's not innovative, it doesn't make them look more fashionable, it's just annoying. C. Adjust their slider weights for the body parts to actually make sense.

     

    I've had nothing but positive experiences with Ebody So far, aside from the butt.. that takes some getting use to. It'd also be nice if they'd just fix the body instead of making us wear deformers but oh well. Overall it's pretty cute and i'd definitely recommend it miles over Legacy.

    Thankyou so much for this imput as well.. yes i agree that the legacy hud is annoying.. and duno if its just me but it laggggsss.. omg .. its a hit and miss. The reborn hud is superior in every way.. so.. theres another plus aye. .. i might wait for a ebody sale.. i dunnooo.. its just super tempting right now.

    The Erika body is currently on 50% off.. but i have no clothes for it.. whereas the ebody has been included in lots of weekend sales so far..

    I think it proportions up really well if someone is looking to make a curvier look.. I think what happens is a lot don't use the body fat and muscle sliders as much and end up kim kardashioning things with, big butt, big bewbies on a figure 8 frame.. when really a pear frame seems more natural, at least for me.

    adding muscle and body fat and widening the shoulders really helps a lot I think. 

    I'm getting a really good Chaka Khan feel from it. which I really am loving at the moment. So it's a good chance I'll be setting my Maitreya down for a good while.

    You look amazing!! Yes i use the fat slider and the broad slider too in "body" .. of courseit helps on legacy.. but my main thing between the bodies is the count. ... and hell, even looking st your body here it looks better than legacy.. it really does..  god help me body collecting will be the death of my lindens lmao

    Paying any attention to the current complexity formula is really pointless. It has been wrong, broken and played with for years by far too many creators. As Beq ( http://beqsother.blogspot.com ) has pointed a while ago, it's the alpha cuts that make actual difference if you care about performance to begin with. Legacy is still heavier than Reborn by around 1/4, but the latter has plenty of alpha cuts, so if you're the type to chase performance and fight for the "lag free world", then both are pretty bad (and maitreya is being only 1/8 lighter than Reborn as well).

    You may disable that annoying complexity number popping up in the viewer. In the firestorm it's preferences>notifications>alerts>warn me about about my avatar complexity changes.

    As for the body itself - if you like what you can do with it shape wise, then just get it. It's one of the big 3 supported female mesh bodies right now as far as new releases/shopping events go. Pretty rare to see something new that doesn't have a reborn size, although on the weekend sales it's more common to encounter some older and not updated things. On the other hand a bunch of creators has been updating older releases to reborn, so the very same weekend sales is a good way to catch up on its wardrobe while saving a bit of money.

    For me it simply has too big butt, even at the butt size slider set to 0 and with the included (or 3rd party) deformers it's huge. And because it is huge, other parts (mostly lower half of the body, thighs in particular) have to be on the thicker side too, otherwise you'll end with terrible proportions. And that's just not the look I want for my avatar.

    Which is totally fine, even from the first ads reborn creators has posted it was obvious that body is/was meant to be for people who want thicker thighs and bigger butts, not as extreme as kupra, but still thick enough. Nothing more or less, but personal preferences.

    Thabkyou for your imput.. i do tend to pay attention to complexity..i dont really know why i do... that creeping large figure when i wear my legacy and addams clothing on top just..gives me fits lol.. but legacy looking so much nicer than the maitreya hips..so i dont like to use maitreya much even though i like the lower count on that body. .. so ebody has a big butt?? ..ill have to demo again to see it.. ive been so wrapped up in the curves, nails and shine that i havent looked too much at her backside lmao.. i just love them hips and boobs on it

    I'm toying with the Reborne right now and liking the range it has for the more curvy to heavy..

    It was nice to just add my shape and just add a little muscle and body fat and widen the shoulders some and pretty much be almost finished.

    I love the nails polish options that come with it as well. They were done really well.

     

    I did a complexity comparison with a couple of my other bodies to see how it compared.

    ---------------------------------------------------------

    The complexity I am getting with just the Reborne demo is,  3,436.

    ----------------------------------------------

    My Maitreya is showing a complexity of,  5,126

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------

    I put my Legacy on and  The body complexity alone is, 8,982

    The hands are 2,294

    the feet are 2,714

    The total altogether for just the legacy body combined with hands and feet ,13,990

    That's a leap in difference for sure.. hehehe

    Right?? .. i love this right here.. the numbers and figures really make me wanna do the leap for sure.. and yess those nails! ..and the shine too.. very hard to pass up for sure.. thankyou for the imput :)

    Buy it!!!

    Seriously, it’s a good body and you listed most of the pros for it. It’s also mod, if that’s your thing. The clothing support is there.

     

    The only thing I can say it missed on was the shoe support like Kupra did. You can wear Slink and Maitreya shoes with Kupra, so your shoe collection remains intact. With Reborn, Slink can be hit or miss. That’s my only quibble with the body.

    Lol.. the pressure! Thankyou for your imput.. its so tempting.. but i might be waiting for a sale at least..

    I collect bodies as well, Legacy has been my go to, but I really like the soft curves on ebody a bit better. I would pick it up, more and more clothing is being made for it, and it is easy once you have it set up to flip back and forth wor different looks, or to fit an outfit.

    Thankyou for your imput.. im still in consideration ir maybe just waiting for a sale of the body ..

    Since you like the curvy bodies, I'd be interested to see what you think of Belleza Freya too. That's my favorite now for this avatar, but Belleza has fallen out of favor with most people in part because there aren't enough clothes made for these bodies.

    I have freya as a backbench body but ive noticed scandal has dropped it from her line of clothes.. which is a shame coz i like her outfits..

  13. I wouldnt talk to a bird or dog..or unicorn.. its just a personal thing i guess.. im not here to rp out some disney pricess thing with talking animals.. i guess maybe coz im a bit perplexed by the reasoning behind someone wanting to dress or be that way.. cautiour or weary maybe.. or just wanting to be with other human avatars.. yes including just as friends.

  14. Hi all!

    So id love to know the views of people who own either legacy or ebody (or even both!) .. i already own legacy but i really hate how high the little top right counter thing goes up when i put on the body. I was trying on the demo of Ebody..and noticed the count is much lower like 17K with my lel head on too.. which is wonderful... i love a low count. 

    So im wondering .. which is better? I love how clean and easy the Ebody hud is to use as all..its so..fresh and simple looking. And the body itself is just wow..i love it.. 

    Maybe im lookong for people to tell me "Buy it!!" Lol.. im a bit of a body collector.. i have legacy and kupra.. but now im all starry eyed from ebody.. its a curse.. but i wannnnt it... 

     

    So im just looking for any other differences or opinions that i might not have considered..

     

    Thanks!

  15. I guess my favorite is Velour skins.. i try and try with skinnery (toffee) and sometimes Wow skins (sandy) but i dunno.. i like the shiny look of the velour ones.. its clean, not overly detailed..its smooth and has a great finish on it..

    Regardless of which head/skin combo you find, you'll probably have to do some editing to get that look.  It's kind of a generic look, IMO.

    Whats generic about the model?

  17. i was doing some window shopping on a site that shows what stores are selling like weekend sales and stuff, and well.. I thought linden labs got rid of all gatchas? .. and yet stores are still selling them? .. so many of my favorites had to close them under lindens new rules on gatchas and yet some stores are still selling them? .. I totally feel like a nark for posting it..but i find it super unfair for merchants that have done the right thing..
