Updating Existing Races

[Theodric]

It makes much more sense to update the current playable races instead of adding a completely new race. We can get more in the future, of course, but right now I feel like the game would be served very well by ensuring that more people can design a character to their personal tastes. More base faces would be a great start...as would a proper eyebrow option for Highlander men (as well as some 'younger' and 'classically handsome' looking facial options.

I keep hearing about this. I came with the 3.1 patch. What happened???

The models for Miqo'te girls (playable boys didn't yet exist) had more pear shaped figure, with bigger butts, hips, and thighs. It wasn't a giant difference, but it was quickly obvious that the new models in 2.0 and beyond's new graphics engine were thinner.

Some players prefer their new body, others want the old one back, thus the request for a slider on par with the chest ones.

I kinda wish our tails were more....animated. It feels weird not seeing them do much, they barely move while standing still.

Emotes have them moving of course, but other than that, they are rather lifeless. Maybe it's just me since mine is the smallest size xD

Ok, I did some google images, and I see what you guys are talking about. I guess I don't have a preference since this is the body I've always had, and not sure if this applies to just the Miqo'te race, but a butt scale along with breasts would be welcome. If it is any consolation, try the Holy Rainbow Shirt of Healing. It covers your bum, but the animation when you walk about makes you look like you're packing some serious junk in the trunk. At least on Midlanders it does.

I'd be happy if all hairstyles were available for everyone.

I'd like to play Miqo'te, but not really fan of the hairstyle options for Miqo'te.. while other races have plenty of nice ones. :/

i would like more hairstyles that are crossable between races, i get the aura get the spiky look, but those horns turn me off, would be nice to pass a few hairstyles alone between all the races, if that means not getting a new race, i would be down for that as well given the choice

I believe this is the thread made way back when about the 'issue'...

I just want a notched ear for my Male Miqo'te =\

I agree with pretty much everything here. More faces and more shared hairstyles would be very welcome.

I would also like to see more face paint options, as those received updates only sparingly in the past (I'm sure they could come up with new cool facial tattoos or additional "make-up" options). Perhaps they could even make some of these race exclusive tattoo options (i.e.: if they were to give Miqo'te stripped or spotted tails, perhaps they could add facial tattoos that give the face a matching look).

I think Miqo'te getting a really thick tail (think snow leopard tail) or a really fluffy tail (like a maine coon or persian) would be fun.

It would be pretty easy for them (I should think) to at least have some of the current in-game hairstyles shared among races. I'd love to see some of the femroe exclusive hairstyles on my Miqo'te.

And definitely let Au Ra horns be interchangeable.

There is this nice bun hairstyle exclusive to Midlander girls that's been one of my favorite styles, and it's been in game since 1.0.

I keep hoping we get a bun with the new haircuts for all girls, but no. I just want to pull my hair out of my face sometimes, thank you.
