The new interface when creating a PvP character is so bad!!! Why did they make it so that you have to put your mouse over the attributes to see them, now you cant see any affect in adding runes at all! I speak for PvP'er here when I say that they should make re-rolling new characters as fast as possible. Not simply making something that looks pretty when PvE'ers decide to create an extra character every 4 months! I find the new interface for rerolling PvP characters WAY too inconveinant!!!
New interface makes rerolling slower!

I for one agree with everything that blue cheez mentioned, and here are some other things I am unhappy about concerning the Character creation process:
1. Lags like a mofo compared to everything else I have ever done on my computer. Lags more than the actual gameplay itself.
2. The crooked color choice area for armor... wtf?

Kind of the same topic:
I've noticed that when you try to make a new PvE character, the screen where you choose campaigns (Prophecies or Factions buttons), seems to lag for a second before appearing.
Also, when you reach the "choose body size on the side ruler" screen, if you hit the 'back' and 'next' buttons to keep coming back to it, the section of the ruler that is alotted for your classes' body size sometimes SHIFTS higher or lower than the original place. Not the size you pick (that moves proportional), just the red max/min markers.
Just noticed this after the revision last week.

At the current state, PvP character creation goes like this: Click the right big image to create a PvP character Original method: 1. Choose templates, or choose primary and secondary class 2. Choose skills 3. Choose gender, face, hair, skin colour, height 4. Choose armour, runes, weapons, shields, staves, foci 5. Type name I propose this change: 1. Click the right big image to create a PvP character 2. Choose method --- Orginal method --- Quick creation --- Uber quick creation Quick creation: 1. Choose gender, face, hair, skin colour, height 2. Type name Uber quick creation: Gender, face, hair, skin colour, height are randomized 1. Type name Ok, you may ask, what about the equipement, runes? At the moment, in all PvP areanas, you have - Balhatzar priest (unlock stuff with factions) - Rune trader (buy runes with gold) - Xunlai storage I propose to add in: - Balhatzar equipment master (gives out everything you have unlocked, to PvP characters only) Or, perhaps like this: - Balhatzar armourer (include runes) - Balhatzar weapons master (include shields, weapon upgrades) - Balhatzar archmage (staves and foci, staff upgrades) - Balhatzar sage (change secondary professions) - Balhatzar dye keeper (dyes) All retrieved equipment will be customized to the PvP character who collected them. Discuss. EDIT: As The Primeval King has mentioned: - change build without having to re-create whole character (need different rune or weapon) For myself, when I play a warrior, I need: - physical damage weapon (vs rangers, mesmers, elementalists, necros) - elemental damage weapon (vs warriors) - bow, to shoot runners in Competitive Arena and to charge up "Rush" so I can keep chase em But with the current PvP character creation setup, I am only limited to 2 weapon sets, sad. EDIT 2: - added Balhatzar sage EDIT 3: - added Balhatzar dye keeper |

Errr....did you even read what i said!? I said its they are focusing to much on making the interface look pretty, that it becomes too inconveinant and more time consuming to create a PvP character

It is indeed quite inconvenient. An edit pvp character option would help out soooo much. It's very annoying when you have to delete an entire character and remake it just to switch from superior divine favor rune to superior healing rune, or something like that... I still don't understand why they have the rune trader in PvP areas as pvp character won't have any money to buy the rune anyway.

However, I do think you shouldn't need to completely reroll in the first place.
