AuRa and the ability to chance horns

I lucked out immensely since the horn and face set I chose are both my favorites.

I would like the option to change horn color, more than anything. I tend to hide my helm, but having hair that doesn't fit right with my horns is kinda annoying.

Ideally I'd like the ability to pick horns separately from face, though this is primarily because I prefer a different face but enjoy the horns of Face 1... though I have an alt who I'd love to have the "mermaid" horns on, but alas, she has the big bulky ones.

Though if this isn't possible, would at least like to have a limited color palette swatch for our horns. The sickly ivory of raen horns looks odd to me, as does the blue-ish of the female xaela. Plus, I have a character whose horns should be pure white - it's a giant pain in the arse to constantly edit that into screenshots. :<

Why do you not like it...? More options = greater diversity.

I don't know that this would be improved after dropping PS3, as I think they specifically didn't want to increase the number of options and thus the character data size for each character in general for network/server reasons.

But if they do find a way I certainly have no objection to the Au Ra getting more flexibility with their horn shapes!

This issue affects all races.
Au Ra are just the easiest to provide examples for and notice.



I support unlocking features from faces!

I support this!
Overall the Character creation system could use an update, more options for everyone!

Also I have a question; When the official response is 'It would cause too much strain' data wise... is it because it would cause too much strain for this system or over all for any system? eg. character data size

It's hard to understand because you have games like black desert that have these amazingly complex character creation systems in an MMO, it makes me wonder why we cant have another 5 face options?
I thought, perhaps a contributor its because we have such a huge selection of dye-able clothing in multiple slots, unlike K-games who tend to make the whole outfit one slot.

Everyone's inevitably going to choose the same face with the same narrow, pointing-back horns.

Face #1 reporting in! Although my current horns have grown on me if I had the option when Heavensward came out I'd have chosen the wing horns with my current face. I've tried several times to come up with a Raen design that I like better with the wing horn face but have yet to succeed. So yes, more options please! Although, I'd love to have the option to have different horn "tints" as well.

Then how do you explain games like WildStar or GW2, which both have more detailed/varied character creation and much more in-depth dye systems?

No, it comes down to rather poor planning on SE's part, I think.

different game, different engine.

dcuo has a ton of different ways to color and make your character but if you really look into it, it is very simplistic in look (can't change shapes). WoW supports a large op because of smaller empty zones with basic textures.

My g/f played Aion which had a bigger CC, but this was due to having 2 races, what were the same except a 1 was light 1 was dark.

look @ wow, it has an even more basic CC this is due to each faction having several races.
