Character Creation need some Love!

[Frostfang.5109]

It was ages ago since any of the non-human races had anything new added to character creation, and racial features have never been update in 5,5 years. Comon A-net!, When will u ever do this?

[Ardid.7203]

I'm hoping them to give us a good great set of new ears, horns and facial hair with one of the new LS chapters.

Hope never dies.

Actually, Human characters were the ONLY race, to receive new hairstyles and faces, in Character Creation. This was for the Path of Fire expansion, unless you are thinking of the Exclusive Hairstyles, Faces, Hair Colors, and Accessory Colors, in the Total Makeover Kits, found in the Gem Store.

[Illconceived Was Na.9781]

In fact, what happened was ANet added human face assets to the game, to better reflect the Real World™ African influence on the Crystal Desert. And that left them with two choices:

* Offer the assets to us for our characters, because they could

* Don't offer the assets to us, because it would be "unfair" to the other four races.

 

I'm glad they went with the first option.

[Ayakaru.6583]

I think we have plenty of faces and hairstyles for the races now.

I'd rather see other features expanded on, now

Horns for the charr, ears for the Asura.

Humans could maybe get scars or piercings (separate from the faces)

And the norn some more tattoos that are detailed on the faces.

My guess is that from now on any new options will be accessible only through makeover kits. Why give you more when they can charge gems?

Bingo. Unlikely to see anything new on character creation. Too much money to be made by people who will buy gems to get the new looks.

The new faces and hair they added for PoF are available at character creation by default.

in terms of choice i have played really cheap asian MMO's with allot more hairstyle and face options, some are still behind a pay wall but they do their job allot faster with just 1/10 the dev's available.

[Aphrodite.8742]

This.

It's been almost 3 years since we last got new faces, and we haven't seen new hairstyles since 2016. =( We used to get them once or twice a year up until that point. I miss reading patch notes and seeing "New hairstyles/faces available at the black lion trading post!".

If anything, new ears or horns, ect.? Maybe piercings?

[Tolmos.8395]

Yea this is one section where I have been surprised they haven’t revisited.

 

Some male human faces have pointed ears. Like actual elf points on their ears. But it isn’t on purpose; it looks like someone was supposed to cut the ear shape out of plastic and did a poor job, and a little plastic is left over.

 

If you go through some of the faces with short or no hair, you’ll see what I mean

[Valexia.8041]

YES. Character customisation is really lacking and it would be great if they added/expanded on it. Hairstyles, colours, accessories such as horns, pointy ears for humans (I need that elf look), tattoos for all races and so on. Honestly just more hairstyles would be great.

[Demented Sheep.1642]

It would nice to have more new Charr options they aren't jokes. :/

For real, that new hairstyle that looks like the wind blew through the mane and it just got stuck like that is sad. I also thought it was a bug or something when I first saw it.

ALSO: LONG HAIR FOR SYLVARI AND ASURA PLS. Not just sort of long, I mean like past the butt long. Need it. I'd pay $30 for it no joke.
