Miqo'te customizations

Where Do I start. Ah Yes, customizations for the Miqo'te race. Is it just me or does anyone else feel a lack of customization when creating a miqo'te? I.e. the lack of a muscle tone bar or ear size bar? I would like to make a miqo'te but to be honest the lack of a those two things is what seals the deal on it making one for myself. I would like a bar like the hyur specifically the highlander get for muscle tone that adds or reduces mass. Tried making a miqo'te pugilist into a boxer sort of look but it was just lacking in the body aesthetics. It would be great if we could get a bar or two that adds or reduces muscle tone and another bar for mass on the body. Basically the mass of a highlander.

Would also love a bar for ear size, I think that one is self explanatory. That or to be able to change the ear shape kinda how you can do it with a lalafell.

Does anyone else feel the same way?

As much as I would love to have more options, the Devs have said that anything more would overload the current game clients and server connections. More optimization needs to be done before they can add more so I wouldn't expect much until after 5.0 when they remove the 32-bit clients from the game and another round of server overhauls.

Sure, but according to SE adding extra sliders and options like that would cause the server hamsters to start convulsing uncontrollably and die.

I wouldn't mind different ear shapes/sizes (kind of like Au Ra have for horns) But as noted: think of the hamsters! D:

Maybe if they flushed the hamsters down the toil..., I mean, if they upgraded to race horses instead we could get many more customization options!...

Shorter-rounder ears would be really cute, and a bigger height slider too, I want to be taller!...

I would have liked the option to create a beefier, taller Miqo'te. Something similar to Cray from Breath of Fire 4.

It's irritating that only Hyur have truly distinct differences between the two playable clans - every other playable race simply gets very minor differences between their playable clans.

This pretty much!

They could have drastically changed the other clans to match the midlander/highlanders. Miqo'te seekers could have been the more "human" clan while the keepers could have been a bit more animal like. Same with Elezen, the duskwights could have been smaller with more drastic features like sharper teeth, etc. Obvisously not everyone would like this and most likely complain because the clan they would want to pick is too different and thus salt on the forums would ignite!

I'd love to get rid of these ridiculous marks under my eyes.

I'd love to have bangle patterns on the tail and ears.

Maybe they should upgrade to race horse then. Would love to see more customization varieties depending on the clan you choose.

The only option I'd like to see is a muscle tone slider. Everything else like teeth and their pupils are tied to their clan. While ear length or style would be nice it would require reworking most hats with the little ear pockets. SE would never do that for one thing, and they look terrible as it is anyway. Most don't line up and are much lower than where our ears sit in the first place.

Honestly, this. I hate the markings.

And for the previous, I think that Seekers would end up being the more bestial simply because they're the ones with the cat-slit eyes, but yes, some sort of difference beyond colouration (of choice) and pupil shape would have been nice. I'm a-ok with my body type, but some level of customization would have been nice.

Okay I definitely need to agree here. Being able to modify the facial markings on a deeper level than what we have would be pretty nice. While all males have the same marking females can have rather large differences depending on your face type. It's similar to how Au-Ra have their horn styles tied to their face types.

I'd really like to have the black-tipped ears some of the male hairstyles have as a selectable feature. I really like the look of them, but not most of the hairstyles that have them, and of all the new styles added since launch, I think only two have had the black tips.

I mean, I'm pretty happy as-is, but now I'm picturing Highlander-style catdudes and kinda wishing that were a thing.

Uhm... random side note here: Tail length used to be tied to clan as well.

Seeker tails used to be shorter. I know because my "main" was a Mooncat in 1.0 solely for the longer tail and then got swapped to Seeker when I returned. I'd also give her fangs to make her even more beasty, but alas!

What I'd like is if that tail tip that dyes with your highlights wasn't restricted to a few (1?) tail option, but something that could be turned on/off via Facial Features or sth.

Still trying to figure out why hair is ok to add but it's not ok to add anything else to the other existing slots.

Miqo'te and Au Ra probably lack ear/horn and muscle options because they can choose their tail type and length. Lalafell and Elezen get to customize their ear type and size and Huyr and Roegadyn get to customize their muscles. The devs claim there are limitations in the character creation system and that's why we can't customize some features. One of their reasons for doing it like this could also be making races more unique and giving players a reason to pick a certain race.

Miqotes have tail shape and lenght which would give SE the excuse of "not enough character space" to add more sliders ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

So I guess we are always stick with this and they won't do anything to change it. Which means this thread is rather useless

By that view all threads on this forum are pointless. But this is where we suggest things, and sometimes they listen. After all... they're not gonna know we want something to change if we never actually speak up about it. /Shrug emoji

With that in mind, there's something I've actually been curious about... Do they even take feedback from the English forums? Being a primarily Japanese game, it seems likely that the devs would focus primarily on their feedback.
I mean I've never heard of sweeping universal changes being made in NA games like WoW or Guild Wars 2 because of feedback from their Chinese community.

I know they get read by the community team. But they do tend to be pretty slow to actually respond to anything.

They throw us a bone sometimes, but I'd rather do my due diligence and make my wants known in the chance it's something they might do some day.

I'd love to have a muscle slider for both males and females, as well as the option to have the facial stripes extended to the whole body
probably will never happen though because servers are some old toasters running spaghetti code

Upgrading the servers would be nice. There's 0 reason that a company as big as them couldn't. I'm hoping they do one day, but they don't appear to be in any sort of rush to do so. The engine itself could use a bit of an overhaul too, but it's sort of the same deal.

...This might actually be the first suggestion to honestly make me feel like I'd want to use a fantasia.

While you can't erase the markings, you can hide them with face paint see: my character/avatar. But yeah, I wish we had customization facial marking like the ladies =(

And of course the forum uses the helmet version, GG SE. Well, it's the face paint that covers the eyes and nose.

Miqo stripes over the body and a butt slider and I'm on board

My kitty has the soul of a tabby. Stripey tail option, please.

I NEVER knew I needed something so badly until you mentioned this. Please do this, SE! This would be amazing.

Because adding a new nose or eyebrow mesh would cause the servers to go into catatonic meltdown and obliterate downtown Toyko, or something. Please Look Forward To It™.

Seriously though, just fix the teeth showing through the lips on the male Miqo'te (an issue some other races have too). It looks like aliasing and it isn't nice to see.

I want to be shorter and slimmer... even with how lithe Miqo'te males are compared to Highlanders and especially Roes, my arms and neck feel way too thick. And I feel just a little too tall too.

I'd like to be able to change my ear size and shape, as well as what kind of marking I can have on my face... and different fur patterns on the tail would be nice.

Basically, more options PLEASE! If you can't give us more faces, can you let us make some more small changes?

I always prefer to have more options.
