I'Ve met hundreds of my clones(Armor wise), even some with the same hair style. I'm ONLY talking bout armor, i could care less bout face and other stuff, cause you almost never see it.

Wow, that is so amazing, but never going to happen.

THINK ABOUT THE PVP PLAYERS! WILL SOMEONE PLEASE THINK ABOUT THE PVP PLAYERS?!?? HOW WILL SOME MESMER KNOW THAT OPPOSING BUSTY TALL FEMALE CHARACTER IN THE OPPOSING TEAM IS ACTUALLY A MONK NOT AN ELE?!

Somehow my guess is they stuck with fixed "body types" for each class for easy identification in PvP.

If anything it is one more aspect of PvE getting hamstringed cos of PvP which nobody cares about.

In this day and age, character creation should be like this in any game, period.

I see a lot of variation in the armor that everyone is wearing, except the warriors. Its not due to a lack of choice in the armors, its just that they all prefer the same armor look.

I hope they add a 'Unique' Armor set for each class, a armor that no other class can wear, like The Mesmer and Warrior unique armor wont look anything alike at all, Cause well it's unique.

Each class has its armors looking very different from all other classes, so dont we already have this.

/unsigned as I feel we already have this option, just that some people don't take it

I want a Darth Vader high-end armor suit.

Character building is intentionally simplified to keep bandwidth reasonable. Consider how long it would take to load HA D1 with that level of customization.

oh i am so ditching GW once PSU comes out =\

I'd rather have it stay the same. Loading a few similar faces vs loading tons of different faces makes my computer(and by extension, me) more happy. We don't like long loads. They make us sad. You wouldn't like us when we're sad(insert Hulk rip-off scene here).

Seriously, it's a nice idea, but it should just stay as a nice idea. I personally don't look at the skintone or face of anyone around me. Obviously, if I see a black character I'm gonna go "O wow, that's the first black char I've seen this month...:O" but otherwise it's not important. I don't spend to much time looking at faces either, not because most of them are alike, but because it takes too long to look at a lot of faces, and it gets boring.

If you want a unique character, make some kind of crazy awesome dye color on your fav armor and go with it. Aesthetics are nice, but I'd rather see other more important things done with the dev's time. This "Let's add 'Ward' to the Ward of Harm description" kind of update stuff is really angering me and my computer.

Foolish. The first Phantasy Star Online game, on DREAMCAST, running on 56k modems, had that level of customisation, and the lobby areas ran ok. The entire body proportion model runs off 2 numbers (if you look at the sliders) and each settable attribute is just a single number. Not much data in the greater scheme of things.

Although people should bear in mind that PSU does not have wearable armour. The clothes you choose at creation are the clothes you stay in.

For me, I dont care, since I like a fixed costume/clothing rather than bits and pieces of armour I've collected (GW is good since you choose the look of your armour anyway), but some people I guess like to show off their uber leet armour of grindingness. You can show off your cool double lightsaber and stuff like that though.

Oh, and if PSO is anything to go by, PSU will have ridiculous amounts of grind. However, it's an action game, so all that fighting is supposedly fun.

Why dont they just add some of the npc armours to the crafters, there are some brilliant ones.eg farrah cappo, devona rurik and others.
They cauld also let us use some of the npc faces/hairstyles etc.

Would be nice if there was a way to go to an armor crafter and smith a set of armor unique to yourself. Kinda hard really.

What I want would be an armor crafter where i can preview the armor i buy so i can properly gauge if i really want it or not. Heck. Would be nice also if we can get the dye person to prieview armor in the colors we want them.

I agree on all points

Love the female warrior's Kurzick armor... but would love to preview it before blowing my cash..

The only brilliant npc armors i have seen are... eves.. hands down.. and baroness vasburg.. I really like those gothic dressy things.. and eve's is just hot.. I'm a girl and can comfortably say that =D

Cassie McKnight · Jun 09, 2006, 03:15 PM // 15:15

eg;

Why isn't this available as 15k

Rikimaru · Jun 09, 2006, 04:03 PM // 16:03

I think they still haven't added 15k Knight's armor. Either that, or it's one of those with a completely insignificant difference between 1.5k and 15k, like Platemail or Luxon Male Assassin leggings.

Saix The Spartan · Jun 09, 2006, 04:07 PM // 16:07

Well, i just want more armor vareation.
Ok i found a way to sorta explain my unique armor. You all know that everyone can get Kurzick, or Luxon Ect. BUT each class has 1 typeof armor that no one else can get, it's there unique armor.
