Character Customization Question - Guild Wars Forums

Hello,

Sorry if this question has already been answered, but I was wondering if anyone knows if there will be more character customization options to choose from in the final version of Guild Wars? I played the beta last weekend and it felt too limited.

Most likely. Each BWE has had more and more and more. So why shouldn't release? Yes, the choices were a bit dinky, but I at least found one I like.

Yeah it felt like Male elemantalist seemed to have a lot more skin tones, and I made one that seemed more human than the previous BWE. It'd be nice if there were more hair style choices, but I'm satisfied with the one I pick as long as I don't see 1248237u49823 people having the exact same hair style, skin tone, and hair color

They greatly expanded customization recently, and while we might see a couple more hairstyles or faces for release it's unlikely to expand significantly.

Characters of a given class being instantly recognizable as such is an important feature of Guild Wars as a competitive game. It does limit customization options to maintain that level of uniformity, but they've given you a good amount of choice within the neccessary limits.

I'm sure that some people are disappointed that they cannot make their character look however they want, but given the nature of the game it's the only realistic choice.

Peace,
