lol..that would go a long way toward sorting out the real female gamers from the guys playing female toons. All the guy's female toons would be needing back braces just to stand upright.

Wow, I must say I am semi-surprised that I'm not the only person who feels this way (although with the number of people playing GW, I really shouldn't be surprised).. Makes me glad I decided to make this thread.

I do wish there was some way in-game to change at least hairstyles and color, that in itself would be really nice and helpful for people like who who get "bored" of a character's looks after awhile. I do believe I remember something being mentioned about them putting something like that in the game... although iirc they said they couldn't let you change tan lines or faces.

I nearly fell off my chair when I read this, especially the 2nd part.

jesh - Indeed, I just want to try different things. Try different combo's, change my looks, etc. I just find that after awhile of playing one char I'll start thinking about a completely different combo and build and strat to try out... and it'll bug me till i delete one of my chars and startup a char of the new combo.. and I'll play that for a bit... Or I'll see some GW movies and/or character's in-game and prefer the way they look to my own chars and want to restart my chars to look "better"

I do wish there was a way in-game of changing looks as it would solve some of my re-startitus that I have.. LOL And maybe I will actually finish the game at some point... LOL I have never ascended any character, I've had 2 characters up to the Desert.. currently only got 1 there.. and I just keep on restarting.. LOL Some of the restarting is disatisfaction with my character look's...

FeuerFrei - play them till you puke?

Memphis - heh good for you. I've remade my characters a few times and still want to remake some of them.. LOL

Xenrath - I have to agree that Monk's need some major loving. ANet really dropped the ball when it comes to monk's. Why do they only have shaved/half-shaved and Princess Leia hair styles?

And as Trinity Entragian said, some of the female faces are just out-right ugly and shouldn't ever be able to be selected

Seriously though, a wider and better selectiopn of faces would really go a long way... or why not let people choose any face they want and not have the faces class specific? Or maybe have some class specific while others are general faces that can be used anywhere... not like you can only tell a profession by it's face... LOL

When I was making my monk, I made him, then deleted him and changed his name, and remade him. I was a bit hasty remaking him... and it took me a while to realize... that instead of making him black with white hair... I made him black with scandinavian-looking platnium-blond hair. It looks so wrong and wierd and bugs me everytime I see it. I'd pay quite a bit just to dye his hair pure white.

Sendai · Nov 14, 2005, 12:27 AM // 00:27

i'd like to have more phenotypes at the character creation. Not races, but something like little/fat/thin male/female models.
I sure it's not going to happen as i guess Anet would have to design their armors as well (15k tormentor anyone ?).

2k for bleached tips, 5k to dye his whole head white. Color automatically fades away every month, great gold sink.

I wonder if they'll ever include the... *ahem*... enlarger pumps....
Austin Powers?

Findariel · Nov 14, 2005, 09:24 AM // 09:24

Well rpg wise, a plastic surgeon would be a it overdone for a fantasy world, but not being able just to change you wear your hair .. or dye it every once in a while ..

At least a barbershop would be nice, perhaps in Denvravi (since there's nothing else to do, jungle already is the least poplular area). A nice place where the tired defenders of freedom can take a little luxurious break

Navaros · Nov 14, 2005, 11:09 AM // 11:09

Barbers/Hair stylists are a horrible idea.

Players need to have access to alter their character appearance in any way they want, at any time they want. Period.

They need full access to the "character creation screen" to be able to edit any aspect of the characters they have already created. Including sex, body size, face... everything you can do at character creation, you should be able to do at any time. New NPC's/interfaces aren't required, other than perhaps one NPC who does nothing other than gives you access to that same exact screen that you use at character creation.

Since this is all cosmetic, it would not unbalance the game in any way whatsoever. Hence there is zero legitimate argument against it and it should be implemented ASAP.

Yes i do NEED it, otherwise im unable to complete the game

Yes because of all the things that need to be changed, this is the most important

Carnajo · Nov 14, 2005, 11:17 AM // 11:17

I'd have liked to see some older avatars. An older looking Necro or Elementalist would be cool. I'm not necessarily talking Gandalf style, just not someone who is 25.

Ideally, one could mix and match eyes, noses, mouths, face shapes, but that might be too much of a graphical/computational strain.

aron searle · Nov 14, 2005, 11:19 AM // 11:19

Ever heard of the sims

Carnajo · Nov 14, 2005, 11:26 AM // 11:26

If sims had swords and spells, I'd play it.

Let loose the transvestites for nude dancing at Lions Arch eh? Well, we'd definetly be playing the most diverse game out there........

No, they are not.

No, they NEED not. Period. This makes no sense from a RPG perspective, I think. You can always create a pvp character or recreate a character and take that through the game (after all, getting a character Ascended is not such a lengthy process). A barbershop or something similar DOES make sense, RPG-wise. And would be fun. Everyone should be able to have a bad hairday.

Balance issues are irrelevant here. This is a RPG issue. There being no balance issues does not mean there being zero legitimate argument. A nice bit of flawed logic there.

Anet, barber-shops/ beauty parlours, etc. are a GREAT idea. Can we have them for Christmas? Pretty please?

aron searle · Nov 14, 2005, 11:42 AM // 11:42

I want a fat monk, a seriosly huge obese tub of lard.

coolsti · Nov 14, 2005, 12:15 PM // 12:15

A way to edit a chars appearance, sort of like changing the 2nd profession, would be nice, as we often make mistakes when first creating a character. Then after working that character up through hours of quests and missions (ok, I don't like running), we sort of are stuck with what we have. I mean, if we can go to a plastic surgeon in real life, why not in GW ;-)

A funny thought: the more time we spend in towns just trying to sell stuff or partying could maybe be considered as time with little excersize, so that the more we do this, the more out of shape and fat our characters become. Just an idea. Maybe the more we get "run" instead of playing the quests and missions, the fatter our characters should get? Now that would be interesting! Think about seeing a level 6 fatso hanging around Thirsty River trying to get into a group so that he/she could ascend

Seriously, though, it would be nice if Anet would increase the options for clothes and armor. I paid the money for 15K armor for my mesmer and ranger (both female chars) because the enchanters outfit and the fig leaves look great! But I don't feel like doing the same for my monk or elementalist because the options here are not so dramatically better.

Yeh this could be fun

My ranger as Brad Pitt.

I'm quite sure that new armors are on the way, and that the rubies and sapphires that you are (hopefully) saving will be very useful to you when buying the "new" armor. (hint)

Well, Anet, I certainly hope that's not the ONLY new armor that will be available. Saving rubies and sapphires? Huh? That assumes that the player is spending his/her time in UW and FOW, which actually is just about off limits to mere mortal players like myself. I got to FOW perhaps a total of 8 times so far, but the difficulty in finding a good PUG team, getting into a PUG team as a non-monk and non-die hard player, and the fact that you get booted out again instead of group resurrection makes the whole idea of UW/FOW rather distasteful to me and I suppose many other players.

And a casual but addicted player like me doesn't spend time farming, so buying those precious gems from other players isn't an option.

So please, Anet, also increase the selection of those items found at places like the Grotto and Granite's Citadel.
