Enhanced Character Creation and lvl 60 Tryout's

[AskaRay]

If you make a point to read all the tooltips

It's sorta scary how many people just don't do this, ever

I'd be happy if they added a "grunt" voice option in the CC since that's really what we hear ALL the time as a melee ... especially BRD.

Committing to grind all the way to 60 to try all the skills and realize I wasted my time because tanking with X class or healing with X class just didn't feel "right".

If this were available, no one would ever choose Dragoon...

You can't just pick up a rotation that complicated and appreciate it, without putting the time in to learn it's different aspects on the way up.

Appreciate the sentiment, but disagree with the idea. The classes are waaay too complex now for this to help players decide.

I always thought that it would be a great idea to implement a very low level quest that showcases your higher level abilities. I.e: your level 15 quest puts you in an echo-trance where you either get to use all (or up to lv50) abilities, or shows an NPC using them. The platform genre does this a lot, where you either fight something that demonstrates how far you have to go to achieve their strength, or you have the abilities but they're taken away. I think it'd be a great way to show a newbie how much room you have to grow, and also showcase the difference between now and where you will be eventually.

For emote options, I'd like if they at least just added the grunt your character makes when swinging their sword/axe/spear etc (since it's 90% of the voice SFX you'll hear).

First I find a voice with a /cheer I like, create character, watch cutscenes swooning over my new toon, finally then when start killin those ladybugs outside the gate and ugh re-roll

There is a grunt in the current emotes, but I think it's the SFX for when you take fall damage or something else.. it's not the WeaponSkill SFX faik

I agree with the extra character creation options. Also, having the full gamut of emotes would help us determine if we like a voice better than another. Cant tell you how many times I've made a character and got in game only to realize I cant stand the voice I chose because the other emotes weren't available in the character creator to test it out.

Agreed, on the level 60 and instant skills. You want to see a real example of that check out the Game Grumps WoW challenge they did, people who never even played it were given the max level you could buy and it was a nightmare to watch, almost cringe worthy.

Training Zone:

Cannot leave Training Zone. Allows you to create a character with a level 55 class in full ilvl 150 armor. Cannot leave the training zone.

The entire zone is a dream. When you log out your character is deleted. You also cannot name the character. However you can customize it's voices but that is it.

Class/Race/Voice is all you can pick.

Enhance Character Creation is okay, but the Tryout is not okay. It could become disappointment and you won't level your character again and it looks like spoiling the end content IMO.

I would agree that the character creation screen could use some expansion to test if you like your character in multiple situations (A light room would be nice for multiple angles of lighting), but I don't think testing a class right at sixty is really a good idea.

Classes are only really fun after you learn the proper rotations and what not anyways, so testing a class at sixty without any of this knowledge could give a false first impression to the class and how one would feel about it.
