Grand Marshal.4098 Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 I've seen people suggesting for more new hairstyles and tattoos to be added. Which makes sense since for humans we don't have any 'skin-related' customization like we do for Charr, Asura, Sylvari. But what else, different, would you like to be able to add to your characters? For once, I think piercings (earrings, nose and bellybutton piercings) would add a lot of flavor to characters. Be it 10 sets of different looks and nothing overly customizable. But the idea came to me from taking a look at Cyberpunk's character creation. How about being able to actually change the color of lips? Share your suggestions! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danikat.8537 Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 I'd like to be able to add scars and make-up separately from choosing a face type, and ideally separately from each other. That might make some of the default faces redundant since I think some are very similar (and can be made even more similar with sliders) except for the makeup or scars, but it would be an nice addition.

I agree! I would love for us to still have 20 default 'main looks' but to be able to add something unique to all of them. Someone, like youmay want a face with a scar, but not look like a 60 y/o character (which is how the male preset face with a scar looks like iirc). Big agree on the makeup too. Thanks for sharing! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DemonSeed.3528 Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Beyond the stuff that's already mentioned, I just want an easier way to copy the char customisation (hair/eye/nose/face/body/etc) to another character (of same race obviously) with a code similar to how build templates do it, so I don't have to decipher a look I've created on another character or account. I also want to be able to make old and plus sized characters. I do kinda want to see an old bearded asura. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also want to be able to make old and plus sized characters. I do kinda want to see an old bearded asura. My only successful old-looking character is a male Norn and tbh any attempt to make a human look old, ends up like some carnival member who dressed old for fun. As for plus size characters, I believe only 1 female norn and 1 female human (debatable) comes close. And I dont even think thats enough plus size tbh. For males, I think no male human exists without a sixpack is there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raknar.4735 Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 I‘d like more body types for every race, but I don‘t know how hard those would be to include, as armor mapping on bodies could result in problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lokh.2695 Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 I never really bothered much about customization once it's done. While I'm at it I can spend hours to find the right shape of eyes/nose whatever, but in the end I'll put on a helmet and will be looking at my characters backside anyways. So I get the appeal and I'm all in for more options, but on the other hand GW2 has more pressing matters to attend to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ideally, further implementing more customization options in character creation, should not affect Anet's schedule in dealing with said _more important_ matters. Because frankly, I agree with you, however it is sad that we need to think in such a way for a game we find fun and love... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westenev.5289 Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Makeup could be nice, or maybe scars, bandages or piercings. But honestly, I would be happy with more beards/hairstyles. Honestly, I don't think I would mind if Anet put Living Story on hold for 3 or so chapters to focus on this kind of stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLadyOfTheRings.9148 Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 I'd like to see more options for body types (e.g. more androgynous-looking bodies for both male and female character). That and having two different-colored eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately. I'll keep dreaming about it lol. I agree hahahah. I can definitely see why the "human female meta" is a thing. By far the most options for customization of one's character. But in any case, additional features would be all I could ask for, including body types. Oh well, a dream it may be. XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
