Couldn't see if this has already been suggested, if so, sorry.

Wouldn't it be nice if their was a hairdresser/barber in towns or outposts, so you could change your characters hairstyle or color.

And is it possible if we could have a guild member locater, so it shows were guild members are and what district they are in???

As i said sorry of this has been suggested before

This has been highly debated for quite some time; people want; nay, seem to be demanding some way in turn, to select new hair style/new hair color/maybe evena facial change.

But alas, the topic has been skewered many a time. Yes; it's good to be able to change aesthetics in a graphical game; although at the time, it's unethical, as there really is no other bonus other then looking more suave.

As for the locator, good idea, but reference my post "The Infamous LFG Tag" for further specification, you're hitting on quite the same idea I posted there.

" it's unethical, as there really is no other bonus other then looking more suave."

The same applies to virtually everything else in the game, there is no difference in stats between armour sets in certain places, and weapons as well yet people are willing to pay (in some cases extortionate amounts) so, why not add something like this as well? Maybe add a "clothes" trader for those milling around in town...

As a member of the class with the worst selection of hair and face styles,
this is relevant to my internets.

This idea is silly. Why only be able to change your hair? And a hair dresser is a very feminine concept that I wouldn't be comfortable having a male character use.

You should be able to change everything about your appearance. Not just your hair.

The devs need to let you access the character creation screen that already exists - at any time - in order to alter the appearance of all parts of your existing character. Including body size, face etc. etc.

How the heck is changing appearance unethical?

Did you mean to type "unnecessary" or something?

pyrohex · Nov 11, 2005, 05:34 AM // 05:34

Oh.

I thought I was being smert, too.

Oh yes, im 6'5", but I would like to shrink down 2 feet to see what it's like smaller. I don't think changing body size, or face would be a good idea. That's why we have all those choices in the beginning. Im saying irl, if I wanted a bigger nose and smaller chin, i'd go to a plastic surgeon. But there is no plastic surgeon in quild wars. Now a barber, hairstylist, or dying your hair would be alright, cuz you could do that on the fly. Just not shrink or grow 2' just cuz you didn't like the fact that YOU chose your warrior to be a mighty midget!

good idea....would be soo cool

Sure, I suppose you've never had a haircut.

Yes, hormonal growth! Bone shrinking! Plastic surgery! Liposuction! Why not add iris pigmentation? Yay! Joy to the world! How about adding an Extreme Makeover as a prize for winning the hall of heroes? With the compliments of the College of Divine Surgeons, led by Dwayna.

@Those complaining about giving players a choice about making all the changes they want to make on their own characters:

Guild Wars is a game, not real life. There is no rational reason to limit a player's choices about his own appearance. And making a character at the creation screen and then being stuck with all those choices for all-time is not fun. It's stupid. Players should be allowed to change their minds. Plus you can not really tell how much you will like everything about your appearance from only staring at the character creation screen for 30 seconds. I suppose now some of you will be saying: "Then mediate on the character creation screen by staring at it for 5 hours straight before making a character!"

Those who want to limit player choices are being highly unreasonable. Hopefully the devs will realize that and do that right thing - provide access to change all parts of a character appearance at the player's will.

i think barber would be great, but i would like to be able to change my appearance at any time. i dont see why you above posters wouldnt wanna sign it, it has no real impact on the game whatsoever. part of the reason i deleted my first character was because he was a midget, and looked plain stupid (mostly not that though)
