Just cuz I have made new chars doesn't mean I have deleted a char to get a new hair style,LOL.I still have a extra slot from all the campaigns.

Of course your going to make new chars bryant your not takeing your existing char(s) to GW 2 but they could still implament this to GW2. I say it is too late in trems of they should have added this when Factions came out.

So I should waste a slot for the same character? Buy the same gear, same skills, same everything...just for a different hair style??? No thanks, hair stylist please. Not everyone is so wasteful.

That still doesn't answer the question of why it's too late. And still no reason.

*sigh*

If there was already a system implemented for changing our hair, then why does this thread exist, dude...

In other words (Loviatar style): THERE IS NO SYSTEM

You didn't tell me to do it, but you suggested it. While it's not as bad, it's still bad.

Sorry i failed to see where you put the answer. Everyone of your posts looks the same.

Now then.

Where is this system you speak of?

I dont have a spare slot, so i cant check, BUT the released picture with new armors on it could be checked for hair styles. If there's a hairstyle you can't get now it would be a good hint there could be a hairstylist soon.

Well, the necro, monk and paragon hairstyles are definitely in the game already. I remembered seeing them and now I checked with my free slot for all campaigns. The Mesmer is a little elusive. There is one in NF that could be the one in the picture, but I'm not entirely sure. I can't exactly replicate the color in the character creation screen, but that may be because of the dark-ish GW:EN environment - all the colors are a bit shadier IMHO.

As for my two cents, even being a gamer girl and not all that girlish, I love getting a new haircut or hair-color for myself, and I would be delighted to give my characters a makeover every once in a while. My mesmer has been running around with a tight pony-tail for a year now and I really want to try something that fits with her new armor style. Or that absolutely bad-ass Ranger-with-a-bandana style from NF for my Tyrian, 25-months old ranger.

I don't see why some people are so dead-set against making the game for others more enjoyable. It's not like I'm going to come after your characters with big gleaming scissors! Although that could be fun... uhm... a hair stylist is by no means something necessary or life and death, it's a nice luxury, but one a lot of people would enjoy. It also wasn't necessary to add material storage oh so long ago, but boy, did I ever squeal with joy when I got it! Yes, I do make strange and embarrassing sounds when playing GW...

And yeah, I'd use it. I'd use that hair stylist a lot. I also change the guild cape every month or so, much to the chagrin of my officers who are currently subjected to pink flowers on their backs. Poor guys, I do embarrass them so. Also, I once had pink hair, but my very own real life hair stylist is currently pushing for a sort of Jade green, which would go nicely with our very Luxon guild hall...

Like many people here, I don't want to murder my characters just to be able to change their hairstyle. There is no system implemented to enable the change of a hairstyle.

I dyed my own hair burgundy-red for 15 years - and then suddenly 18 months ago decided i didn't want that colour anymore. I went black for about 4 months, then reverted to my natural dark-brown. Seven years ago I had it cut in a short bob (not touching my shoulders) - now it's long enough to sit on. It's not hard for someone to completely change their tastes without the original decisions being a mistake, and it would be nice if that were an option in-game as well for the characters with which we spend so much time without having to throw away years of effort. Particularly as the choices made in-game will often reflect the things people are interested in at the time, and hence they grow old and out-of-date.

Some people *do* get attached to their chars - and don't consider them "disposable". But just like in normal life people change their tastes, it'd be nice if my chars could also reflect that changing taste. A char is far more than just their appearance - and you cannot "remake" everything that went into that char with the "delete and recreate" method.

I'd love to see a hairstylist - and would be prepared to pay the same pricing as a Guild Cape change (2k) to be able to change their hairstyle. It's not something I'd want to do every day - but would probably take advantage of it every 6 months or so for my chars.

We can change armour styles, we can change colours for armour, we can change guild capes, we can choose to show/hide helms and capes - why not be able to change hairstyles as well - particularly as they are probably the thing we see the most of for our characters?

Ostracizing players for their achievements is the ultimate discouragement to playing a game.

Ugh, good, are you finally giving up? Looking through this thread, I don't have enough fingers and toes to count how many people have refuted your point(s). There is simply no good reason not to implement this. I honestly can't fathom why you're so against this. What difference does it make to you if a hair stylist is added or not? Don't use it then! But just because you don't have a need for one doesn't mean there shouldn't be one at all.

You're literally flailing around like a fish out of water trying to back up your ridiculous arguments and it's just not working. At this point I'm just reading your responses for a good laugh.

And anyway, I'd say it's pretty safe to assume we're going to be getting a hair stylist or something similar. Notice how Gaile hasn't jumped into the thread yet to disappoint everyone? This is a pretty big topic now, I'm pretty sure we would have been told by now if it wasn't going in.

oceanicdemigod · Aug 20, 2007, 08:10 PM // 20:10

And the fact that the OFFICIAL GW WIKI Armor Gallery pictures clearly show Faces from one campaign with Hairstyles from another is not going to work in favor of Hairstylist Nay-Sayers or in favor of ANET saying its impossible etc. Because it's possible...even if not in the game itself.

I mean They managed to change our whole GENDER IN GAME for April Fool's Day...Hairsyles should then be a piece of cake

I'm pretty sure there's no hair stylist, guys. They don't want to confirm that though because the game is almost out and it may affect sales by saying "No there isn't a hair stylist in the game".

Avatara · Aug 21, 2007, 12:44 AM // 00:44

buy the WoW expansion... at least Blizzard listens to what fans from other games want. :P

errrr strange ^^

I've explained why it's controlling and egotistical, twice, myself.

I don't recall my self telling people "You can't change your hair style". can't and shouldn't are not the same thing, lol. The current game mechanics do allow you to change your character hair (at a high cost for most).

*smashes forehead into desk*
Are you serious? Do you even read what you're responding to? And you have the nerve to tell other posters to "read more carefully"? Or are you just trolling, as indicated by your comment: "this going back and fourth {sic} thing is getting old it was fun getting people going on for 16 pages but its {sic} getting old"? Whatever you think you're up to, no one is fooled, let alone convinced, by your tautology.

In any case, character deletion isn't a game mechanic or a "cost" on a game mechanics level, any more than quitting the game is. Game mechanics are what happen inside the game, as part of the active gameplay, not as part of the meta-decisions you make about your account. So claiming that character deletion/re-rolling is a high-cost hairstylist-system already embedded in the game mechanics, is pure nonsense.

Not only that, but it completely disregards the majority of the point: people want to change their hair to that in campaigns that are not their campaign of origin. People want their Tyrian characters to have Elonian hair. There is no way to do that no matter HOW you cut it. :P

Can I just say that from reading all his posts that I think that White Knight is trolling and has hijacked this discussion

. If you are not in favour of the hairdresser that’s your loss, if we get it added then you can "Get Over it"

.

On topic

I have asked for the hairdresser feature for the last 24months and yes I have characters that are that old, I have 4 accounts all with each release and with all them slots I have only 1 character slot free, I hate to delete any character, they have too much emotions invested into them.

Knight It’s not a matter of that I should have made it right the first time, but that as a player I evolve and my character evolve with me, deleting is a last resort, and not one made lightly. A hair change is a small request that has not impact on you, the game or the storyline.

Would it not be fun to attend a guild dance with a new hairstyle just for the night? Or if a much loved character died would you not like the option to cut your hair shot as a sign of respect to the departed?

IMO A hairstylist is not needed but would be a welcome change allowing for a greater RPG element in the game.

BTW did someone say clone characters before?

Want to see a clone

then visit Pre-searing Am dist 1 when all the Dolls to the walls are on, we make for a good show.

That's a completely different discussion. People pay monthly to get updates like that from Blizzard, while Guild Wars is completely free. We don't pay for it, and technically, they don't owe us anything, and yet they continue to update and add new features to the game. In my opinion, Anet are some of the best developers out there for listening to the fans.

And we need to keep this topic bumped just so they know how badly we want this feature.

WinterSnowblind, your comment is well taken and I hope you don't interpret this as a personal attack, but...

I feel this is the kind of mentality that endangers the future of online gaming. It suggests that the only reason for a team to continue to support a game and the only way that's possible is through a subscription fee, and anything else is insignificant. The truth is, Guild Wars is NOT completely free. I paid $50 for Prophecies. $50 for Factions. $50 for Nightfall. I will pay a total of $40 for EotN. I've bought about 4 additional character slots for another $40. I bought the Game of the Year upgrade for $5.

So you're telling me that even though I've spent at least $235 on their game, I'm not a customer?
