Character Creation Failure

[TristanBlane]

I too am a bit bummed at the lack of character customization. Its getting kinda boring seeing everyone that looks so similar because we are so limited in face options and such. And hairstyles too. I feel like all the mens short hair looks too similar, idk. I am disappointed that we didn't get a new race or character customization options.

As for only two new hairstyles at launch I'm not too surprised because I'm sure they will add more along the way.

Are we?

Take female Hyur Midlander - 5 face shapes, 4 jaws, 5 eyes, 5 noses, 5 eyebrows, 4 mouth options. The first option for each of those would be one face, change any of them to the second option while not changing anything else is a different face (not strikingly different, but still different and it's not uncommon for MMOs that don't use a slider to use similar faces with just a couple details altered to make difference options). Those combinations start to add up after a while (just doing each base face with one of the four different mouth options leads to twenty variations, and there are MMOs out there where twenty is the total number of options full stop).

I'm not saying we couldn't use a number of improvements (more vibrant hair colors, better facial hair options, more ear options, letting Au Ra choose which horn style they want to go with their chosen face, etc) but it's not like we're stuck with just 5 faces.
