Well as you all know with Factions we have more character customisation options available. Just wondering, does anyone know if Anet has any plans to incorporate NPCs into the game to allow existing players with Tyrian characters to take advantage of these new options that they paid for?

For one thing some of those new monk faces do look very nice, heck I really wished they were available from the go-get in GW:P, but alas now I can't change it

It's also a good opportunity for Anet to introduce more money sinks into the game by charging a relatively hefty fee each time you change your hairstyle, and a even more hefty fee perhaps for faces.

What'd you guys think of this idea?

On the faces thing, no, I remember them specifically saying that they wanted to keep the looks seperate for the chapters... However, a hair stylist would be very welcome and hopefully will be soon fourthcoming

Urgh that's such a shame.. to reroll or not to reroll... 3 more months to birthday though.

Damned you anet!

yep, Awning is in the same prediciment at the moment, i hate the hair cut i gave him, but i have 15k cultist and a lovely green on him (customized for the extra damage) and i seriously want to reroll him just for the hair...

Doubt i will, i'm attached to him now... 12 months old and about to hit his first b'day, I'd cry if i did

generik · May 22, 2006, 11:45 AM // 11:45

I just took a look at the new options.. and decided I'd pass up on them in favor of my 9 month old character. This is so infuriating, we literally paid for these new content!

Lonesamurai · May 22, 2006, 11:47 AM // 11:47

yeah we paid for lots of new content, but you have more options now for your tired old characters, new armour, new quests, new skills/builds, its all good man

Saraphim · May 22, 2006, 11:56 AM // 11:56

The ability to use dye on a char's hair would be cool, even if I can't change the style I'd like to slap a bit of colour on now and then...

No it is not good enough

Anyway speaking of more optionsdoes anyone recall Gaile mentioning that rubies and sapphires may be used in the future for crafting "jewellery"?

What do you think it might be?

Final verdict.. I'll just create a mirror character and level it in parallel

Since in the future we can buy additional slots I guess that's a good compromise, albeit crazy

Azn ftw!

Changing faces seems rather odd to me, I believe I saw Gaile laugh at someone for requesting the same thing in one of the old chatlogs.

Haircuts on the other hand...

yep, even in a world of magic, I don't think plastic surgery is a good thing...

Hair and facial hair stylists... Easy enough to do, even doing an easy FABLE style system

WTF - FTW!!!

But I guess it is an RPG - I just want a Mohawk!

Dart · May 22, 2006, 03:09 PM // 15:09

I am all for being able to change your char's looks, hair, name.....it really would be nice...I mean - we all love looking different

hair color dying - what fun! Can you imagine if there was a WIG merchant roflol - we go nuts for new skins- I would be super excited if we could customize like u can in SIMS...until then guess Im lucky I look like my char so I can pretend I could live in a place as pretty as Ascalon :P

cookie cutter houses in the suburbs FTL :P

whatever happened to the weddings?
I thought that would have been a cool feature for the game.
When people get married most people change their surname. Now weddings are a thing that never will be i guess.

I am glad the guild capes changed from those pull overs. (dis 127 WTF!!!!11)

Dr Ripley · May 22, 2006, 08:46 PM // 20:46

Ewww. Those pullovers are awful.
Bibs FTL...

Heh.. or there could be a 1.5k option, the equivalent of getting it cut at the local hairdressing college for £2.50...

As are a lot of people (myself included) based on the number of times that this topic has been brought up. I think a lot of people get bored of looking at the same head for over a year and would like a change. I know that my now veteran warrior could do with a scar across his face and maybe a little grey in his hair

Plus I really don't see this being that hard of an option to implement, considering that there is already functionality in place to change your name if you manage to sneak something inappropriate by their filters and then get caught.
