the problem with male miqote.

[Shioban]

When all the other face choices are down right terrible, no wonder.

You can have baby face, baby face, baby face or "I took an iron to the face, face".

I think this game's character customisation is poor and problematic. Very few options and most of them are badly designed or boring. I hope SE reconsiders on this matter and release a real face and body customisation patch. And not just 1 new bad looking hairstyle but a pack of serious and numerous options including faces, eyes, noses, mouths, bodies etc. Sucks to have 2.5 million players who look like the attack of the clones.

The reason for having so few options is to cut-down on packets.

The less character data, the less packet information is required to be transmitted.

"Head 1"
"Nose 2"
"Mouth 4"

Is easier to send than percentages for;

5 mouth factors
4 nose factors
7 eye area factprs
(etc)



What are packets?

The packets of information being sent You > Server > You.

The more information you cram into these the longer it takes to transmit the packet.

Cutting down on the amount of information required in these helps reduce latency, so the more finite character details will simply bloat it un-nessecarily.


Packets contain your;

Name, Gear, FC Details, Current Titles, Character Apperance Details, Position, Cast-Bar, HP/TP/MP, Actions&Traits etc.
