Enhanced Character Creation and lvl 60 Tryout's

[Nektulos-Tuor]

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.

Enhanced Character Creation

-Use Emotes
-Allow to sheath weapon
-Show walk, running, and jump animations

Yes.

Level 60 Tryouts

-Login to a demo map to test level 60 skills and actions.

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". GW has the login to max level and the idea for trying out a class is really good.

No, because as others have said the grind teaches you how to use the job. People are mindless enough as it is because of FATE spamming to 50/60.

You can get to 1-60 and have no idea how to play or do your job.

I don't think she mean you'll get to instantly play with a lvl 60 character in real content.
just in the demo map to see how the class plays at max level.
you'll still have to play from 1-60 in the real content.

This. I ran totorak a few days ago with a level 42+ DRK who couldn't tank. Despite me saying to unleash more and do his hard slash spinning slash power slash combo (enmity combo, i may have one or two names wrong). Was ripping hate from yhe tank, so started half assing my combos and still took hate. The bard was as well, and we both would end up tanking a mob just to save the astrologian.

People get insta lvl capped characters at the PAX/Fan Fest/Insert Convention Here Primal Challenges, they seem to do fine. I'd love a space to test out a 60, even if just to sample casting animations of a particular race. Nobody's saying to let then into general populous, but a sealed instance to thwack around a dummy of two, maybe a dumbed down primal, or something.

[Pomelo]

Yes to more emotes in creation and we really need to have a "battle voice" thing..where you can hear what your character sounds like in battle...some voices dont have a battle voice, others have amazing ones, the remainder have horrid ones >.<

I actually really miss this feature from GW2. You got to see what was in store before you committed, even though the point was completely different. You had ai dummy's to practice against so you could get a feel for the class at max level before going into PVP, but that didn't stop me from seeing if I was going to like it or not at max level. While the leveling experience can teach you how to play your class, a lot of us can simply look at the skill set and go "Oh, that's how it'll play." but it's the "How will it feel" that can matter more.

But I highly doubt we'll get that, and it's not an issue. I would push harder for more emotes and features in character creation since Glamor and all things glamor related is the true end game.
