More customizable faces

Pretty much as the title states. They need more facial and body customizations. They allow us to customize gear looks with all types of glamour, but ignored the fact that the foundation of glamour (our avatar bodies) can very simply be altered. Too much of the same! Please add more bodily and facial options or even just more range in the sliders.

I agree! Also, horns and face options separated would be nice. :P

This would be great!

Same here!

Every race should have as much face options as mid landers

Too much freedom can be a curse

Ewww! What game is that lol. I do have to say the colors are very vibrant that's at least a good thing .

There's Black Desert, Tera and Aion thrown in there for a good measure. People actually played these monstrosities.

I'm sure if people could on this game they would as well after some of the glamour's I've seen in this game.. :p

I almost screamed out loud..

Oh goodness. Those are hilarious and terrifying all at once.

I don't mind people making silly/horrifying characters, but I do prefer when character creators try to force you to at least remain within semi-realistic body proportions so you don't end up with inhuman-looking monstrosities.

PSO2 hit a good sweetspot, IMO (Though people complained about a lack of a butt slider there, too).

i mean just don't include sliders
just add more options

This.



In one interview so many months ago, they said they couldn't add more customization sliders and such because they were concerned people would... do exactly what people did in those images (RIP my sides) and "create their own races." I'm all for new faces, hairstyles, misc. accents, whatever is plausible. I think it's about time. That particular interview asked for more player feedback- so here it is for the umpteenth time!

I know right. I'm the one with the hair monstrosity. If that game has something going on, it's the customization.

I really wish they'd just unlock everything for each face. Imagine being able to use face 2's eyebrows on face 3 etc. It'd give a bit more variety without that much extra work.

It depends where the "extra work" is. The models are already there of course, but it might not be as simple as just letting them be applied to other faces.

- Face shapes are different. Can the eyebrows from one face simply be dropped onto another, or would there be gaps and seams where the shapes don't line up? Would it need to be remodelled to fit?

- Could the system actually handle it? How are the face elements stored, and could the UI actually access more options than what it is currently set up for? Would they have to reprogram how it works? It might require a complete rebuild for all we know.

in other words: we have to do the whole road map for something we don't have: nuanced technical knowledge, budget information and time available to invest, all while at the same time guess-timate for them to have a proper deployment?

I mean, really? Might as well ask them to open source this game's code, add mod support with repository access for console to use said mods and just have them focus on the "main stuff" since literally saying "we want more facial options" means "we want more facial options".

And I am aware we already asked for the latter (mods) and its still a #plzlookfwd2it/#insertlimitations.

I'm just saying you can't be sure it could be done "without that much extra work", as Cerbolt put it, just because the models are there (with the possible implication/impression that they're being lazy by not giving us this thing that should be easy to do). There are other factors that could mean it *is* a lot of extra work to do that.

Ok wow, I meant not that much extra work compared to making new features from scratch.

Honestly I just wish that facial customizations were race specific, and not race tribe specific. Its so annoying that the beard/mustache combo is Sea Wolf Roegadyn exclusive.

But with that reasoning we fall to the usual circle jerk of #insertlimitations. We'll get shot down anyway, might as well just add a pile of suggestions with no road map.

I agree with the scale thing too! We really need more options to stand out. You have no idea how many identical Au Ra's and Miqote I see running around. I dont really care since they arent my characters but we need more diversity is what I mean. :c

This is what I always vote for as well. New faces are great, maybe add a couple of those as well, but unlocking all features within a race would really let us create more unique characters.

Kinda makes me wish I'd gone Raen instead of Xaela Au Ra. They just seem to have all the nicer looking tail/scale options, with a few exceptions.

More options across the board would be nice.

I wish they would give us more but the last time we got an answer it was a big no. Though the one I don't get is how some face tattoos you can only get on certain faces for hyurs but not on others and that's within the same clan. If the devs say that cat people are the poster children for the game you'd think that they would give them more options. #waitforps5

I honestly have found it odd that they stick facial features to only be on one face type. If they just allowed the different noses, lips and eyes to be interchanged that would be a heaven send.

I don't need all the ridiculous body sliders and such, but letting us interchange the pieces we have would be nice.

With hair, why can we mix and match bangs? Let me have the different mole placements for all faces.
