Please make the Au Ra horns separate from the faces!

I'm honestly not sure, I'd imagine translated? I can look for other interviews, but I stumbled upon that link via a totally different topic. It was just related to this thread.

I didn't take it as literally creating the horns though. Just heavy customization like size, a certain amount of types to pick from, etc? I can't imagine color myself what with the lore we do have.

TOO LATE GUYS! If we know 6mths back, they probably can change, now it is TOO LATE.

There's no such thing as 'too late'. It could even be patched after heavensward launches. It's not outside of the realm of possibilities to update character models, or change them. Look as SOE (Daybreak) around 10 years ago when they introduced a completely different character model set on top of their current one for players who wanted to play with their asian oriented character models that they developed as the game was being localized for asian aesthetics. If a ragtag Sony division that is infamous for it's various design blunders can pull it off SE surely can.

And yes I'm really just using this as an excuse to bump the thread.

Most of the horns start out really thin until they get away from the head tho. Thanks to not having a bald option you can't even really see where the horns connect to the head as it looks like most of them go up and under the hair. Even on most of the armor you can see in the benchmark the horns just look like they are pasted onto the head gear so i'm not really sure why allowing us to change the horns that go with the face would affect gear. Especially since they already have those 4 horns so gear is already designed around those 4 horns.

Agreed. Seems silly to have their most noticeable feature so uncustomizable.

I'm not really sure what the point of this thread even is

The point is to provide feedback on an aspect of the game.

How else will they know?

I will use this quote as an excuse to bump this thread, then!

[EDIT] I would also like to point out that they were originally going to release Heavensward in the spring, but they're instead releasing it in June. Why? They said they wanted to take the extra time to tweak things. I assume one of those included the feedback from the Character Creation. We didn't know anything about the CC until we saw it and got it (which were both within 48 hours of each other) so there was no way of knowing what options we would and wouldn't have. I assume they took into consideration that when thousands of people were going to be looking at and playing with it, that they would have have opinions or find some flaws with it. So it is probable there is still time and people willing to edit the new race before it actually comes out.

I wouldn't mind waiting until 3.1 for the horns to be separate from the face. As long as I know that they intend to fix it, then I have no problem waiting.

What people seem to forget is that feedback during a game's lifetime is never too late (and harping on that feedback is only feedback if something comes of it). It's not like they have to act upon feedback, but reading and even considering is enough. It's a concern that players feel strongly enough to voice, that's all it is. It's not like anything is static in a game, features can be added later, and that's fine. They can also be acknowledged as a popular request, but not acted upon, and that's just the way the cookie crumbles sometimes, but bringing something up is better than not saying anything at all (as long as it isn't a tantrum). If they do make a change it could be several patches in, it could be never, it could be a consideration for the future or they can stick to their guns; regardless of the outcome, feedback is a continuous and organic process. To say it's too late or pointless serves nothing.

We're not making demands, we're providing observations on a feature of a character model, big deal, it happens in every game. Civil and constructive criticism is the aim, and if they read it then it has served its purpose. It will be a bonus if something gets changed, but that's entirely up to them. We have, and will keep, doing our part as far as feedback goes.

This.

Did you need a casual bump, good madame?

But in all seriousness, I hope the devs do come and say something about this at the very least. Here we are 19 pages in, with other posts concerning this topic and we've been granted nothing but radio silence.

[Purloiner]

There's not much else to add than what's already been stated, a lot of players do want the horns to be customizable. I just wish I heard word from an official rep or something saying they too would like to see the horns interchangeable.
