Char creation disappointment?

[fusional]

I don't see why this topic is a problem.

It's common knowledge that as a society there is a demographic that likes to take pride in how they look and dress.

early phase 1 alpha isn't even officially out for an hour and we already have people complaining about things. and considering devs have already said they're adding more stuff as the game goes along (and that this is primarily JUST A SERVER STRESS TEST), this kind of thread is pointless *until* we see what they add. if it doesn't feel like enough *after* they add more, okay, say something. but this soon? it's pointless knee-jerk reaction flailing and people do it for every god damned thing.

it starts to look less and less like constructive criticism and helpful suggestions, and more like a little kid unwrapping presents at christmas and getting all mad when the FIRST AND ONLY GIFT they've unwrapped so far is socks, and they start telling you they want rainbows and ponies that fart glitter and puke bunnies made of cotton candy and smell like strawberries made of magic... while 26 more presents just sit there under the tree waiting to be opened.

awesome community. never gets old.

Well that's a glass half empty way to look at it.

They are working on progressing towards beta and they are definitely looking for things to focus on improving. If the most people say 'more hairstyles' then they can focus on improving what more people will be happy with. In some cases they probably have their own agenda but feedback is definitely good.

Ok so you're upset with the way feedback is being given but please don't say 'feedback is pointless'.

i never said that. reread my post.

meanwhile:

Even with ARR, the lack of variety in hairstyles is one of the obstacles preventing the game from being able to pull itself out of the pit of failings it remains in.

this only goes to underscore everything i just said. more gross overreaction to an EARLY ALPHA SERVER STRESS TEST. oh my god look only 6 boring hairstyles in ALL OF ARR, what idiots! how can they fix the game if they can't even get this right ever in the history of ever because what we see today is obviously what we can expect 6 months from now so the game will never crawl out of its pit of fail and reeeeeeeeeer~~~~

they said first couple phases will be barebones tests. they said they're adding more stuff, including hair styles and other customization features.

"okay so let's just add the bare minimum to get a feel for things and test the servers"

BUT UGH UGH I NEED TRIPLE Z BREASTS AND 7000 HAIR STYLES TO DO THAT *flail*

the character creation isn't the disappointment. it's the people who post here.
