I don't understand all this nonsense about KoaBD not being "worth squat." Almost every town I go into, I'll mouse-over players to see who has what title, simply because I am curious (might as well put that pointer to use, seeing as I use auto-run 99% of the time). You know what titles I see the most on average? Stuff like: Rank 1 Norn, Rank 3 Kurzick, Sunspear General (7), or my all-time favorite: Canthan/Tyrian/Elona Explorer (60%). Over half of players either don't have a title, or don't even bother to show one. KoaBD is just that; it's still sort of a big deal, its just not the end-all title it shouldn't have been in the first place. I still get a tad surprised to see KoaBD players.

I get your point CHunter, though i dont completely agree. Before when players saw a mesmer with KoaBD, they had respect (most did atleast

), and would usually then allow that mesmer to join their group. And thats what it was about for me.

But ye, i do still think its nice when someone has the title. And as the game is now it doesnt really matter whether you can get in a group or not, since groups arent really needed for much anymore. But hopefully you understand my point about the difference a koabd title had then, to having it now.

I dropped the warrior I started before leaving presearing because I was bored with the class.

Since it takes me around 15 min to decide what the character looks like and anything up to a couple of hours to decide on a name I seldom delete for those reasons.

I have deleted and changed the sex of a character because I hated the dance emote though.

Eles are fortunate I like them as much as I do. Or else they'd never exist for more than five minutes, due to the horrible dance emote for female eles.

I've remade some characters. Like some others, it was mostly to tweak hair and/or face, but only within the first day or two.

As it stands I have grown tired of a couple hair choices over time and would even consider looking at different face options for another character from one of the new chapters, but they are too far developed and established now to do so. *cough*Stylist*cough*

I've wanted to re-do my ranger because I made my ranger a female (with a crumby hairdo to boot) and wished I'd made a male ranger. I just...can't....seem....to....delete....her. My style of gameplay is probably slower than most people so it would take more time than I care to at this point to redo a ranger. Perhaps in time I will become bored enough to do this, but that probably won't happen.

Konrow · Nov 11, 2007, 03:44 PM // 15:44

I used to remake a lot but then i saw i wasn't getting anywhere so now i make sure i stick to a character and set certain goals for everyone. Of course i'd happily remake a few of my characters to make them look better and whatnot, but i feel as if i've put too much work in them and 90% of my characters are over a year old now.

chowmein69 · Nov 11, 2007, 04:06 PM // 16:06

ive done it alot of times

Vinraith · Nov 11, 2007, 04:12 PM // 16:12

Prior to the introduction of birthday minis I was a remake addict, no question. These days I limit myself to remaking characters that are less than level 20 (of which I usually only have one).

Snow Bunny · Nov 11, 2007, 04:33 PM // 16:33

I've remade my monk, warrior, ranger, necro, mesmer.

All so that they had r3 survivor.

free_fall · Nov 11, 2007, 04:35 PM // 16:35

For the "looks" aspect, I may remake new chars several times at the very beginning - make the char, start the tutorial, examine the char closely to see if there's something about him/her that doesn't look right, then delete and remake if that's the case until I'm staisfied. Usually it's only merely a matter of hair color or sometimes the hairstyle itself. (The ambient lighting in the char creation screens isn't always indicative of the general lighting in the game itself - what might look good there doesn't always look the same in-game; I've always found that kind of annoying.) I might also try various spellings of a name to see what's more easily readable.

Once I've got the char set then, no, I won't remake it past that point.

Currently contemplating on remaking my War , Mes, and Monk just because the Factions' choices for faces is THAT much better than Prophecies (wtb GW hairstylist-plastic surgeon plz plz). Only problem is, do I really want to salvage their FoW armors?

Rofl! Sorry but that's funny. I usually have my eyes crossed after staring at the screen so much after making my characters that I have to triple-check and backup check the name spelling...

I love your forum nickname.

It's SO3 right?

Death By Ketchup · Nov 11, 2007, 05:24 PM // 17:24

I have no idea how many times I ended up remaking my ranger.Luckly now he doesnt seem to get past post ascalon, so meh not like I lost a lot of progress now.

But i did remake my necro and now he's basicly my main character.

mr_groovy · Nov 11, 2007, 05:27 PM // 17:27

I remade my elionian necro lvl 16 for a Canthan Necro. Couldn't stand playing her (the elonian one), she was just to UGLY

QFT. I remember when most people were only had 60% Explorer. It's not like getting 70-80% is difficult...

Then with Nightfall everyone had Sunspear General or Lightbringer.

Now, it's Delver, Slayer, etc.

Having max is still kind of a big deal.

Divinity Coast · Nov 11, 2007, 05:48 PM // 17:48

Nice to see so many people have replied. Still waiting for some really crazy responses....

Malice Black · Nov 11, 2007, 05:55 PM // 17:55

I rerolled my name sake (Malice Black) fully decked out with FoW, high end equipment, fully pimped heroes ect and made a Paragon!

Got bored so...

Zeek Aran · Nov 11, 2007, 06:07 PM // 18:07

I remade my dervish twice. Then deleted her permanently. Grrr.

Malice Black · Nov 11, 2007, 06:10 PM // 18:10

I'd love to play Dervish, but playing through NF *snore*

Earth · Nov 11, 2007, 06:12 PM // 18:12

I remake alot of characters, but I can't stand noob isles so I haven't had a level 20 in 2 months or so.

terminus123 · Nov 11, 2007, 06:13 PM // 18:13
