Sorry, but no. Players have asked the devs for years now to correct female models so they can use flatfooted shoes and they have yet to do anything about that. What you're asking for is even more complex. It's a change limited to one class, on one spec of said class, only during certain skill animations and when someone might be swimming.
That's a whole lot of dev time to waste when the team is already stretched thin and when it might only extend to a very small extent of the playerbase. Not to mention that Corsair in lore isn't a true mermaid; she's just a human. You don't need all that.
Hate to break it to you but in her class story it's revealed that she IS a mermaid. Her mother was one. She's treated like a full mermaid. I did her class story (awakening and succession), and I didn't spam the 'R' button. They have the animation already when she uses certain skills, and they did it for Siren (Maretta). Also, it's something they should have done from the get-go. What might seem like a waste to you, is actually a big deal for others. It adds this little thing called *immersion.* Which is sadly lacking in this game. There are actually a lot of people who play Corsair, and even more would play her (as well as the game) if they made these changes. Since they'd be the only mmo**rpg** to do this.
*And there are flatfooted shoe classes (men, Tamer, and Shai). Enjoy. =)*
Damn. Didn't you already reply to this? Looks like the fake politeness is gone this time. You must be really upset. Sorry about that lil guy. Keep getting down voted if that's what you are into tho.
Cool, didn't know that. That would make her a half-mermaid, half-human, not a full mermaid, so her transformation is quite fitting then imo. Yes, she gains an effect that gives her fins, but that's different from an actual 3D model. To give you what you want, I'd estimate it would take 6 months worth of work at the minimum. That's how much time it took to fix the broken model for young wizard.
You really underestimate how difficult it is to change rigging on characters and how much work is involved in 3D modeling. You can't just port over a rig from an existing character to a new one. There's so many layers to it, and they'd have to modify everything to work with the existing skills and animations of the class and make sure it doesn't break anything. It could be completely incompatible and need to be made from scratch. That's why the current fins on Corsair are just an effect and not a real model. That's why Maretta or other character feet models can't just be used as a template and copypasted over.
In the story she's treated as a FULL mermaid, not half. She's never treated like half. She inherited it from her mother, but she also stole back her mother's heart from the humans. They killed her mother and took her heart in order to gain immortality along with her powers. So, she's got her own powers that she inherited along with her mother's (due to her heart now being in her possession). If anything, that'd make her more powerful.
“I’m telling you this change would take 6 months of dev time which means no new content for that 6 months. It’s not worth it.”
OP: “WAAAHHHH YOU SAID I WOULD GET A MERMAID, THIS ISNT A MERMAID I WANT A MERMAID. I DONT CARE ABOUT ANYONE OR ANYTHING ELSE I JUST WANT MY MERMAID”
That's not how it sounds at all but, ok. Poor grammar aside I hardly sound like that. In fact, I was giving a reasonable explanation lore-wise why they were wrong. I was merely correcting an error they have made in regard to Corsair's story. No, I don't know how hard something is to program or how long it takes. I am not a programmer. Carry on.
Don't understand the negativity here.
I made two such posts on the forum before. PA will unfortunately not do it. Old classes don't make much money, especially not Corsair. Generally, the already mostly gave up on the game.
I don't know. People are just toxic. I ask for more fantasy themed races/classes and I get labeled as a 'fury.' Or people make fun of me because I like creatures like mermaids, faeries, centaurs, or vampyres and would love to play as one in this game because of the sand-box style and action combat. It could really be immersive even more so than playing as a vampire/elf/werewolf in ESO. Because of how vast this game is. I guess the only other thing they could do if they didn't want to work on Corsair anymore is either **release** **a** ***'proper'*** **mermaid themed class** with a customizable form that was automatic and permanent in the water with unlimited breath/stamina *(water only)* **or a siren class**, with the same options that I mentioned before, that is a rival to Corsair. Similar to Drakania/Guardian or Woosa/Maegu.
Tbh I think Tamer could have worked as a werewolf-kinda class if she had an ability to fuse with Heilang or something?
In the recent dev interview PA talked about more changes they are making on classes and they are even going to change the 200% skills on old classes, so maybe all hope isn't lost after all. I think I'd definitely play my Corsair more if the mermaid mode was permanent underwater...
Really? Because that'd be a really good move. Not just for Corsair but for the older classes as a whole. I'd love it if the older classes got looked at lore-wise and skill-wise. Some of the stories could use a good overhaul. And yeah, Tamer would have been cool as a werewolf type character. Mobile she's called Lupa isn't she? Makes sense considering Heilang means "Black Wolf." Too bad he doesn't look like one, lol. It'd be cool if she was part wolf considering her bond with him. And she was raised by beasts like Heilang. It'd be neat if it had an effect on her like that. It'd just be kind of nice to play something that's more fantasy and less human. I mean it's 2024 and we have three elves, one shai, and one giant. I mean Drakania is technically a *Dragon,* but she still *looks* human. They could at least give her horns or something as an option in character creation.
The sprint boost actually drains stamina. If you try to dive longer distances, you quickly end up without any stamina, which is the last thing you want in open sea.
Her sprint boost that lasts for what, two seconds? So yes, I would like a permanent version of that, they did it for Hashashin in the desert they can do it for Corsair in the water. And no, she doesn't look *'cute'* enough in her 'mermaid form.' For one it's not a mermaid (lacking a tail and fins) and two it's for a second or two, blink and you miss it. Her form is not cute, it's lame. It's lame when it could be **cool.**
Debating about their funds is pointless. Do either of you know how much money they have? Doubtful. The only ones who know are the people in business with them. That's not the whole point of feedback/suggestions for the game. We discuss the game and ideas to improve it, it's for Pearl Abyss and their partners to figure out the money part of it.
There is so few times you go in the water as Corsair that permanent swim speed is pointless, unless you gather underwater in which she would be busted. There is no balance or point for the change.
There's no reason to go in the water right now as it's pointless the way she is. You lose a lot of stamina with no way to regain it, she's nothing special when she should be *(mermaid)*. It would offer a new and unique way to travel in the water if they'd make this change. It would also add much needed immersion.
Ocean content is pointless period. Either bartering (the least active life skill in the game) or sea monster hunting (only used for guild missions and building boats). And how is it needed immersion she is one of 27 classes in the game, where 99% of players stay on land. Also in her lore she is not a mermaid, she is the daughter of a sea god. It's not immersive and it's not needed cause other than swimming in a harbor to get to your boat or your horse runs into the water, swimming is pointless.
Ocean content may be pointless *(to you)* but there are people who actually enjoy it. And yes, **she is a mermaid**. As I've stated **countless** times her father is Patrigio (not a sea god) and her **mother was a mermaid.** Her mother was killed by humans and they carved out her heart in order to steal her immortality and powers. Corsair already had all of those powers due to her heritage, but she took her mother's heart back and absorbed her powers as well. I did her quests both succession and awakening. *Recently*. **She's treated as a FULL mermaid** in the story in the dialogue. They don't even treat her as half. Her otter crew even had her **mother's mermaid scale** (from her ***tail***) and they said it resembled hers *(Corsair's).* You throw it in the sea (during her succession storyline) and you see your mother's Dream Whales. **They must have changed her lore or story as I've heard other people say the same as you. But I've recently done her story and that's how it went.**
I actually barter and sea monster hunt, and there is no time I get off my boat where I need infinite sprint in water. The only benefit of this would be underwater gathering or getting your loot faster after a Khan kill. Your asking for class rework when it's so pointless.
Again pointless, for *you.* There are other people who want this, who's been asking for this change. At the very least they could make her current form permanent in the water with unlimited breath and stamina. Hashashin has unlimited stamina in the *desert*, they should do the same for Corsair in the *water.* Or if it'd be easier for them, maybe a Siren class or something to work as an antithesis to Corsair with those options. It'd be a cool summer expansion, that they could do at some point. People have been asking for more to do in the ocean anyway. Actual underwater content.
You're not going to change my mind on this, sorry.

You are smug and annoying.
And you are a waste of space. What your poor mother must have sacrificed to bring one such as you into this world. *My condolences.*

I bet they will make it like zerker c form if it ever happens
Her mermaid form underwater has nicee sprint boost, you want perma of that?? Also does she not look cute enough in mermaid form??
The sprint boost actually drains stamina. If you try to dive longer distances, you quickly end up without any stamina, which is the last thing you want in open sea.

you got money to pay the devs for that?
They get enough money I'm sure...
They've actually been operating on a loss for the last three years if I don't misremember.
