you know youve done it or are in the process of doing it since nf was released

ive rerolled around 3 toons since prophecies. had to make a new female canthan ranger [theyre just so cute lookin

] from my old prophecies one. the problem is, i have fow armor on my old prophecies ranger so i cant get myself to delete her [i use her as a mule atm, mule toon with fow, FTW!

]

everytime i reroll a toon, it takes a bit of time to lvl and the costs for me are ~100k for skills, caps, and new armor. because of the excessive amounts of gold and time that go into rerolling toons, im pretty selective when doing it, other wise i would be constantly rerolling toons with every new release or when i get bored with the look of my toons.

am i alone in this strange odd behaviour or do i have company? if im not alone, what new toons do yall plan on making?

edit - its unfortunate that anet doesnt allow you to change the appearance of your existing toons [i read somewhere that its for security reasons] cause id be more then happy to pay like 50k+ to be able to do so.

*sigh* Me too. I made a new monk in Cantha for better hair and deleted my Tyrian monk with FoW pants. I made a new ele in Elona and deleted the oldest character on my account (my ele) because I wanted to use the same name. For now, I am happy with the looks of my other five characters. Rerolling is getting to be terribly expensive. At least now with the new PVP creation, I don't have to make them PvP ready.

It's worse when you get pretty deep into the game and realize you can't stand looking at the design of your character.

broodijzer · Nov 06, 2006, 09:41 PM // 21:41

rerolling is just something I cannot do. If I don't like the face/hair of my char, I just buy a huge helmet and wear that :P

ThunderStruck · Nov 06, 2006, 09:46 PM // 21:46

I really have wanted to reroll my rit and ele to make them female, but I just can't think about losing 600 hours played combined...

Quinevere · Nov 06, 2006, 09:49 PM // 21:49

Yeah, I really want to change the appearance of my Tyrian monk but since that's the character that I've played the most, I can't bring myself to do it...

Yanman.be · Nov 06, 2006, 09:59 PM // 21:59

Close your eyes! Turn of your monitor! It works for me!

snikerz · Nov 06, 2006, 10:08 PM // 22:08

hahah your not alone dude, ive deleted my ranger 3x
the worst thing is i gotta have punishingshot and crippling shot, else it isnt a ranger, but lucky for me i didnt spend lots of gold, just brought 1.5k armor each time, i wont be doing it again.

Samuel Dravis · Nov 06, 2006, 10:14 PM // 22:14

No, not really. I've only deleted three (RP) characters since Prophecies release - A warrior in presearing after I decided I wanted an ele, my rit when I - foolishly - decided I didn't like that stupid wanding animation, and my paragon when he died from some evil skree things (he's back on track with survivor 1 now though). All of those were eventually remade though and now I'm only missing an Assassin.

The only deterent for remaking charecters is really the skills. I think that if you have skills unlocked for your account your PvE charecters should be able to use all of them. This would solve lots of the problems of rerolling and make PvE charecters useful in PvP...

WasAGuest · Nov 06, 2006, 11:45 PM // 23:45

I can't stand to delete either; catch 22 is, if I'm tired of the characters looks, I play another. Once tired of that one, another... at this point, I am sick of all my non-NF looks - so once I grow tired of those... I'll probably quit playing out of boredom.

And remove a huge money sink from the game...no thanks

Well, not really for appearance, but I've rolled 3 Mesmers, one for each Chapter.

Just because I like mesmers.

My first dealing with having to reroll cause I just couldn't resist the looks of another character was when I got rid of my female elementalist with 15k Aeromancer to make a male elementalist cause I just loved their version of the 15k Aeromancer so much more. My female elementalist got the armor before they even updated the skin of it, so for a while it looked like regular 1.5k. Then I just loved the female armor of Factions so I got rid of my male elementalist and made it a female again. I don't plan on deleting her any time soon

I also had a similar issue with rangers. I was quite disappointed with a lot of the male ranger armor, so I got rid of him and remade it a female. Then got rid of her so I could use the name for a necromancer. Then got rid of him so I could use the name for my assassin. I don't plan on deleting my assassin

The solution to everyone's problems is simple... just buy another slot!

This message was not endorsed by Arena Net Corp. Seriously, it wasn't... no, really... I ain't jokin'... ahem

Edit: I rerolled my monk once during the early launch of Prophecies, but only because I noticed that almost every other female monk had the princess Leiah bun-do and I wanted to be set apart from the masses. I was tempted to do it again after Factions came out, but then I wouldn't have been able to receive my mini Rurik. =/

Thorondor Port · Nov 07, 2006, 03:23 AM // 03:23

My warrior, ranger, and monk all from prophicies will never be remade, nor will I be making any new pves, ever.

With my warrior i beat factions first, and hes doing nf first too.
after beating it once, its almost impossible to want to do it with 2 others, let alone remaking a character to get all the titles ive unlocked.

So, your opening sentence
"you know youve done it or are in the process of doing it since nf was released"
is wrong

Knightsaber Sith · Nov 07, 2006, 05:05 AM // 05:05

I've never had to delete a pve character. The only one I rerolled was my dervish from the WPE cause they unfortunately removed the face I had used.

Kook~NBK~ · Nov 07, 2006, 05:15 AM // 05:15

I deleted my first Monk. She just had her 1st birthday and had 15K armor and all that good stuff - over a million XP and good memories. Why'd I delete her? Simply because when they re-did the faces, she was one of the victims of the ugly stick! She looked like the love child of Princess Leah and Alfred E. Newman. So I salvaged everything I could (got my Sup. Healing prayers and Major Vigor back!) and put her out of her misery. Now, I've got another Monk in the works and I used the name for a Paragon that I'm also goofing around with.

Angel Netherborn · Nov 07, 2006, 05:20 AM // 05:20

Nope. No re-rolls. The only re-rolls I did was when I was gunning for survivor and got killed.

I suppose that's why I spend around an hour or so just to create a new character...

ap47 · Nov 07, 2006, 05:59 AM // 05:59

Make pvp chars...
