They can make reconnects possible but not a simple hair style change? I'm all for the idea and I'd definatly want it to be possible.

Well, perhaps we'll see a hairdresser one day, perhaps not. But if we do, it will be in a distant future.

i think it will take anet along time to implement the idea in to the game; i beleive they said it was more compleex than it looks.
Some people are sayingn they did at april fools but this was merely changing your hair to the corresponding hair of the oppisite sex.

Hair are HATS.
Notice that the Halloween pointi hats or the Yule hats replace hair?
They can add tittles, titles are variables much larger than a mere two cypher number for a hair type.

If they can add titles and make hats replace hair, the can make hair stylists.

It's no to 'change' the height, or the skin, not even the hair!
It's just to 'cover' the saved hair with the changed hair, just like it has a hat type head gear.

It is possible. Don't put forward a 'Gail said'. What she said is that it won't come as a minor update. That's all.

But we have already had some mayor ones already.

In suggestions, we never say 'We want this now', we just say 'We'd like this'.
When, How, or even if it is possible at all, its' something for them to decide.

If they add it, we'll see it, if they don't we won't. That's all.

Lovi, are you like struggling here to get the argument through? She said the answer was a big no for a simple three day weekend event, but not for an over all Hair Stylist.

It's been said before that Gaile has said that it will take time. A weekend event is just a massive joke and is ignorant. But, a permanent way won't come for a while more. A Hair Stylist is something I expect in a massive update, or in a expansion like the up coming GWEN.

She has also said that they know we players (who want this) want this and that they are working on it.

No, don't ask me to show you quotes as I read these quotes in either this topic or other topics regarding this and didn't think of saving them to debate people with..

A stylist could be really great and useful in my opinion.

It's settled. Make the NPC Stylist. Anet reads guru and they are reading what the consumers are demanding.

NPC STYLIST..NOW!!!

It would be fun to have since Guild Wars is already boring.

I think if this feature ever gets added it's likely to be in GW:EN, or at least I hope it's in GW:EN, because I can't see them casually adding this in some big update but I could be wrong.

I'm a little confused about GW:EN actually, cos as far as I know you need a campaign to play it cos its only an expansion. So does that mean you can't create a character in GW:EN-you have to use ones you've made in previous campaigns?

Correct me if I'm wrong but, If thats true, I'd imagine there won't be any new hair styles/faces as we've previously seen with every add-on because you won't be able to create a character in this expansion? (in theory)

And if thats true, I think It'd make sense to bring a feature like this in GW:EN, because they could offer you new hairstyles (and all the old ones) through a new means being a stylist. So I'm crossing my fingers! ^^

Hope I've made sense ^^;

In my opinion, A.net should change their business policy.

It seem they constantly try to give players everything for free.
One example is additional storage, for which they had to make a software development (money) and reserve more storage space in their servers (other money).
So, they invested their money to make a free gift to players.
And despite of this, many players complained it was not enough, it came too late, and started to ask for more and more (of course for free).

This approach has a limitation, in the sense that if they don't have money to develop a feature, they don't.

My suggestion is to use an approach similar to Oblivion, in which Bethesda sold mini-upgrades (like for instance horse armors).

Game balance, hard mode, elite areas, new missions and so on are "core" features of the game, and it's correct that they focus on them and use their budget to develop these core features.

Character re-customizations, additional storage and those kind of things are not essential.
But instead of saying like Gayle did "it costs thousands of dollars to develop and we don't have", why don't they develop and sell this thing on the store?

They insist in their policy of giving everything they can for free, and it's a big mistake.

Let's throw some figures for example: how much could this development cost? 60.000 $ maybe?
Well, do it and sell on the store a code that allows a complete character recustomization for 1$.
There are 3 million copies around, is it so difficult to think that 60.000 customers will be available to spend 1$ to save hours and hours of work?

I think that this cost would be immediately recovered, and the month after many players will be again unsatisfied and will change again, and maybe for more than one character.

Cheap things sold in big numbers would represent a constant money flow, that would finance also further game improvements.

Those who don't want to spend money because they don't consider this essential, simply don't spend and concentrate on essential things.
But this would allow players who are interested in non essential features to have them, and make a selection between real fans who want to support the game and whining kids who feel themselves entitled to ask for everything and more for free.

Conclusion: give for free the essential updates, sell the non essential and purely estethic ones.

I for myself would be available to support economically A.net with such things, because they made one of the best game ever and since I've been playing GW I haven't bought nearly anything else.

After almost two years my Warrior could really do with some new hair, I dislike his long hair now and I'd prefer if I could give him an older looking face.

Just my opinion, but you should take more care and/or time over character creation if you know it's going to be with you for a long time.

Additonally, to those that stated this would reduce the number of clones, I believe the opposite would be true if it were implemented.

Rainy Ico · Apr 12, 2007, 09:33 PM // 21:33

I think some beauty things should be in fact like dyes.

Tatoos, ear rings, and such should all be monster drops.

This screams Custom items.
Most suggestions like this are denied for two reasons.
Time and money.
I hope arena net listens to the common user and creates something like this but it leaves a big decrease with production time.I support this idea all the way but we will need to have some limits on this because ppl will abuse it and some stuff is not guild wars related Examples: Metal Hair Ties, Overly done rings, Modern Necklace, etc...

Things I really want to see.
Dye Preview
Armor Preview
New Hairstyles (2K Per change)
Ability to dye your hair (Dye Cost)
Tat's for all classes (Requires Quest)
Custom color schemes (Requires dye)

(Abnaxus please dont encorage over pricing.I do agree if they charged for the new stuff as an all in one extras pack with collectables like the game of the year stuff I whould be fine with that BUT buying it little by little sux and takes too long. It should cost $10-$20 MAX)

New faces and hairstyles has been added since most character creations.
And many has been remodeled or improved over time.
So, the 'should take more care' does not count. Since is impossible to choose a hair style that does not exist.
